The draft day coverage starts in less that 5 hours, and still no one knows who the Edmonton Oilers will take 1st overall. There have been mock drafts, and mock drafts but GM's and scouts have nothing to do with those. So we will wait and see.
My opinon, Tyler Seguin should be taken 1st overall. The right-handed center seems more ready and mature then his "rival" Taylor Hall. To see Seguin's development after being cut for Team Canada shows his desire to be the best player he can be. He knows the pain and sacrifice it takes to be a NHL star. After watching some meetings with both Tyler and Taylor, my belief is stronger. Tyler was confident with lots of eye contact and laughter while Hall spoke to the floor and had many "uums." Edmonton needs a natural center too, they already wonderful prospect wingers and just imagine the beauty of Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson, Seguin and Jordan Eberle in the future...
Montreal has the 27th pick and St. John Sea Dog, Stanislav Galiev is projected there abouts. I sure hope if this kid is still around for that pick (I imagine he will be), that they do not make the mistake of passing over him. I have watched him play and he is a truely amazing sight to see. Give him a few more years and he will be an elite player in the NHL, just wait and see. Trading up for Mikael Granland would be great to see but not sure how that would work out. The Canadian comparison to Granland, Jaden Schwartz could be avalible with the 27th pick too, and I wouldn't mind him being a Hab.
All my Best; Enjoy Life
