Hey Winternova!; Wanna talk hockey?

Since you're the only confirmed hockey fan around here I can think of (with J slowly acclimating to transforming into a puck head), I was wondering if you wouldn't mind talking a bit of hockey, since the draft was the other night.

First question:

Am I the only one thinking that Edmonton is setting themselves up as a rather serious contender for awhile, similar to how Detroit has had multiple deep runs in the playoffs the last 8 years or so? Edmonton has had the first pick for the last three years, haven't they? Hall is a hell of a player and Yakupov is looking to be nothing short of great. What are they missing?

Secondly:

Think Nash will get dealt? To who and for what?

Third:

Parisse... I heard the Wild are going to offer him ungodly amounts of money. Think he's going north, or do you think a more championship-calibur team will scoop him up?

They'll pick up Bobby Orr if they know what's good for them

Edmonton: They're good up front, but they need more depth on the blue line...and they need a top-flight netminder. Khabibulin is 39, so he's on the downside of his career. They'll be a playoff team sooner rather than later.

Nash: Absolutely. While he's the face of the franchise in C-bus, if they can get good young depth in exchange for him they'll be even better off. They got Jack Johnson from the Kings (I feel bad for him - good young player misses out on a Cup celebration) for Jeff Carter and now Ryan Murray in the draft, so their blue line is getting stronger. After free-agency you'll see Nash go to one of the losers in the sweepstakes for...

Zach Parise: I can see him going to New Jersey, Pittsburgh or Detroit. I think the Red Wings are more interested in getting Suter with the retirement of Lidstrom and Stuart leaving for San Jose. Minnesota has an outside chance...but you don't go from an Eastern Conference Champion to a marginal playoff team. I'll be honest, I think the cup run helps NJ retain their captain.

Interesting. But NJ still has Kovalchuk with his 14 year contract, even if no one player ever did it all themselves... I mean, even Gretzky never won with the Kings.

What do you think about Tim Thomas' drama this offseason? He even lifted his no trade clause. With Rask being the future and Qhudobin looking to be the backup, was picking up Malcolm Subban in the draft a wise choice, considering goalies take longer to develop?

Do you believe that Montreal really is treated differently when it comes to officiating?

Think any sort of major, surprise trade will happen this offseason? Not a Crosby or Ovechkin getting traded, that's not happening. But maybe Staal going somewhere?

People around Boston (of course, we hate everyone not in a spoked B) call PK Subban a "diver" for his play on the ice. Personally, I think he's an amazing talent, and he costs next to nothing. Think there's any way Montreal trades him, or is he wearing red for at least 5 more years? By 5, I mean finishing his current contract and signing for another 3 (at least) at likely 3 million or so a year.
