Front page of the paper this morning, the flyers are hoping to take Patrick Kane, the guy from i think it was hamburg that the sabres brought up for a few games last season, in the first or second round of the draft.

Didn’t a few guys on here know him or were friends with him?

He never played for the sabres and he’s from south buffalo. He’s a sick hockey player.

top 3 choices to go 1st overall are patrick kane, kyle turris, and james vanriemsdyk.

Flyers & Chicago are both expected to go for Kane first

The blackhawks will get kane, I dont think there are many other big names in this years draft. Not that you ever see most of them until 4 years later.

Kane is from south buffalo

Kaleta is from Angola who the sabres called up last season

You cant draft someone that has already played in the NHL. Think about it.

last i checked crosby was about 6’ and close to 200lbs :gotme:

briere is about 5’9" 5’10", as he is taller than me and i am 5’8"…briere also gets tossed like a rag doll nearly every game he plays…its what made him oh-so-effective in the playoffs…not saying he doesn’t have heart, but every time he gets wailed on its a deep breath and hope that he gets back up…

so about me getting a clue, how about not? kthxbye…

heart doesn’t stop someone whos 6’3" 225 lbs from ruining your day either FWIW :roll:

and for those not watching, Kane did in fact go #1 to the hawks…flyers took vanRiemsdyk #2 and phoenix took turris #3…
