Well with the 1st round completed here is a summary of what went on.- With the first overall pick the Isles select...John Tavares. Great pick in my mind, this guy can score goals like no other, the fans wanted him and on the Long Island they need something to rejuvenate that team. He is going to be a superstar for years to come and exciting to watch. The Lightning and Avalanche then followed suite by selecting Victor Hedman and Matt Duchene 2nd and 3rd overall respectably. Tavares and Hedman should both jump right into the league next season.
- The Flyers acquired D Chris Pronger from the Ducks for LW Joffrey Lupul, D Luca Sbisa and two 1st round draft picks. Only other deals made throughout the night were swapping of picks which was very, very surprising with all the talk ending in.
- 17 of 30 picks were Canadian, way to go Canada!
- The Canadian teams selected as following, 7th Toronto- C Nazem Kadri, 9th Ottawa- D Jared Cowan, 10th Edmonton- LW Magnus Paajarvi-Svenson, 18th Montreal- C Louis Leblanc, 22nd Vancouver- RW Jordan Schroeder, and finally after swapping picks with the Devils 23rd Calgary- D Tim Erixon. Every team seems to have gotten themselves a very nice player, with the steal and maybe the best pick(unfortunately) the Canucks grabbed Schroeder and the pick with the most pressure is no doubtingly Louis Leblanc of the Canadiens.
- Finally Congrats to my buddy Dylan Olsen on being selected 28th overall to the Chicago Blackhawks!!
