Smoke swirls around the floor. A solitary Lucky glowing in the corner, Glen Sather front and center like a banker . Class trumps pompous every time.
Gaze into the chasm of Draft Day…
• Garth Snow lands a forward and a backup goalie with the 5th Pick and Matt Donovan
• Sam Gagner…still an Oiler
• Florida Panthers trade the 1st Pick, Dale Tallon uses smoke signals and soup-cans-and-string
• No one will know who the Arizona Coyotes are, Seattle bides their time
• Josh Bailey will be traded to Ak Bars Kazan for a case of vodka
• Instead of unloading the old and ineffective, San Jose trades Antti Niemi to clear the deck for nearly-35yo Ryan Miller
• The St. Louis Blues debut new jersey, with only one shade of blue, promptly change their name
• That name change will be more impactful than anything Arizona does
• Glen Sather gives Doug Wilson a Melvin, convinces the Sharks to trade Joe Thornton to the Rangers, filling the hole left behind by Brad Richards
• Winnipeg…still no playoffs
