Colorado Recruitment Day: 2009 NHL Entry Draft Live Thread

The day has finally arrived!! It's Friday, June 26th and the Colorado Avalanche have the opportunity to make great strides in the rebuilding process via the 2009 version of the NHL Entry Draft! Avalanche fans across the globe wait with bated breath and tight sphincters as the very real fear of Lacroix, Sherman, and Co. royally screwing the pooch lingers like a bad fart. While we wait, let's take another quick look at the likely candidates to be donning a unipron in the near future. For your viewing enjoyment I cracked Eric Lacroix' personal safe and obtained these never-before-seen files on the prospects (after the Jump). Does it bug anybody else that they are in the format of file cards for beloved 1980's action figures?
So, sit back, strap in, and let's get the 2009 Draft Day Party Thread Started. Here's our MC, Conan O'Brien!!
Ichigo says "Vroom-Vroom Party Starter!" (via johnnysama)
Wait, that's not right....
Ahhh, who the hell cares!! Let's kick this pig!!!!

I’m so excited right now. And I’m going to need a new pair of pants. And a new chair. And new carpet in my office.
Go Avs! Let's get some goals!
for the record
I’ll be around. I’m keeping an eye on the various twitter feeds and such. As many of you know, there’s a bunch of SBN bloggers in Montreal and they are checking in with stuff as it happens as well. Exciting times

Been awhile
Since I’ve been excited about something with this team even if the outcome will most likely be pretty predictable.
More excitement
if they can trade their two 2nds for another first, or somehow unload some dead weight or pick up a goalie. And of course we still don’t know who they’ll end up with at 3. Hopefully we won’t have a reason to look forward to the draft every year like this. I don’t want to know what it is like to be an Islander or Tampa Bay fan.

Agreed
Plus Tampa is more than a little nutty right now. They may fly off the handle and do something weird right before the Avs pick.
imagine TB picking Schenn @ 2 because they want Kaberle + MSP or something. If you’re the Avs, do you try and swap with Atl then? Do you pick Hedman? Duchene? that would be one crazy scenario…
personally if the avs for some reason move down to later in the top 7, I would hope they come away with MSP. dude is a stud.
I've given this some thought today
and I think if the Avs trade down, they better get something fairly substantial (obviously) and I would love to see us pick a guy like Schenn or MSP. Of course, we could always pick Ryan Ellis, too ;D

Thats something I haven't thought about
What if two of the top 3 were available at no.2 because TB lost their minds? I guess they have a draft chart but still.
Please please please please
let us trade those two seconds for a later first so we can make a move on Drew Shore.

I’d probably try and get Harding anyway. How is an unknown Gustavsson and Budaj tandem any better than Budaj and Conklin or Budaj and Raycroft. Yeah Gustavsson may be a great starter in his first year and pull a Patrick Roy/cam Ward and win the Conn Smythe and cup but he can also be a complete bust over here.
The Savage has spoken. Let it be done

Watch us screw this up.....
I can see it coming….. we trade the rights to Arnason and our 1st rounder to the Canadiens for the rights to Patrice Brisebois. Then, we trade our two 2nd rounders back to the Canadiens for the rights to Arnason AND resign him. Don’t think the Avs managment can screw it up anymore than that…. watch.
I can't believe we're at this point.
Not too long ago we had this GM who always made the big move and seemed to be the right one and we all just trusted he was going to continually put us in position to continue winning at a high rate. Now, we’re fully expecting a gimme draft choice to blow up in our faces and somehow watch this organization continue collapsing into itself like the dying star it’s become.

Good move sir!
Unfortunately Al and Scott don’t know much about hockey (and it is nice that they at least admit that unlike certain Denver Post columnists who fake it) so the questions will probably be generic softball questions.
Oh HELL yes.

dev camp actually kinda sucks as a fan imo, but it’s still cool to see the prospects on the ice. rookie camp is awesome though, it’s just full on games with kids trying like crazy to make it.
I love watching drills and such
That kind of stuff has always been super interesting to me. I used to go watch the Aeros practice when I had nothing to do because I enjoyed seeing the things they were working on and then seeing it applied later that night/week when they played a game. I’m hoping to see one of these young guys do something that I see again someday on the big club.

Upon thinking about it more
That might open the door for Hedman to Colorado. Tavares falling to 2 would make the TB pick super valuable because they flat-out don’t need Tavares and could move down and still pick up a very good defender in Ellis or Cowan plus whatever else they can take from Toronto.

i would be kinda bummed. he’s the least good fit of the 3 to me, and while he might be ridiculously awesome, i think he’s got the highest bust potential of the top 3 as well.
IF Duchene goes number one, I do think there’s a chance Tampa takes Tavares and we get Hedman. which would be a shocking turn of events. not solid, though, they could still take Hedman.
IF Tavares goes number 1, I think Tampa takes Hedman and we get Duchene.

the canucks are mega high on hodgson. i doubt they’d trade him for Duchene after hearing their fans, let alone that package.
If you’re the Denver Post, why the hell do you spend the coin to get the Head Muppet to Montreal and then not have him blog, tweet, or telegraph on the draft. I mean, damn!

Just blogged that he hears that the Isles are taking Duchene number 1. Also Darren Dreger just said on TSN’s Off The Record that he also thinks Duchene will go number 1

i feel the same way about this rumor as Dater’s rumor of Conklin to the Avs: I will believe it when i friggin see it.
Yup
It’s been fun to speculate, but I totally think Tavares is going to the Islanders, Hedman will go to Tampa, and Duchene to us, just like it’s been planned.

If Sakic decides to come back, Duchene won’t be playing (unless Sakic decides to sign for league minimum or the team is able to shed salary elsewhere).
But, I think that it would be ideal to get a season of Sakic and Duchene together on the ice and in the locker room for a season.

This does put us in a bit of a pickle. His cap hit is going to be several million dollars, and he might not be ready, but he probably is good for some more wins next year.

There are so many question marks right now. The new coaching staff, the uncertainty surrounding goalie, and any young talent that might surprise all lead me to think we might be better than we were. Of course, those same things could very easily make us worse.

I have to say, I like this trade. Philly has been trying to get a big, stud defensemen who can play 25 minutes a game, and I’m a big Pronger fan. He’ll be a hit with the fans in Philly, and depending on what kind of moves they make to clear cap space, I think they are a viable contender next year. Pronger will bring a physical component to the defense as well as even more punch on the powerplay. They gave up a lot in the future department, but they got a lot better right now.

Hey, I know we traded all those prospects and picks for vets, but we did get a Cup out of it. If you get a Cup out of it, it’s all worth it. If Philly gets a Cup next year, I guarantee you they will defend the move forever.

Off Topic

My dream keyboard
Every key is an LCD screen, so it’s customizable to all hell.
I jokingly asked my co-op boss once if he would buy it for me, and he choked on his coffee from laughter.
2008-2009 Avalanche: It's like watching a car crash.
It's only 1700 dollars for it!
Totally reasonable.
Realistically though, I’m just looking for a solid keyboard, preferably with a sleek black look (to fit the rest of my setup) and backlit keys. Having trouble finding one I really like.

Using one now
except I recently ragesmashed it, causing the ENTER key to require at least 3 presses to fix it. I’ve spent a few days trying to get it back to normal, but I think I’ve resigned myself to just buying a new one. Damnit.

Question
If Havlat is available, would you take him considering the cap hit he would probably bring?
2008-2009 Avalanche: It's like watching a car crash.
Havlat is a stud
but he’s likely gonna make like $4.5-6M. I don’t know how we afford that.
But if we dump Hannan’s contract as I suggest above….
Chicago
select with the 28th pick…

Not everyone had him rated that highly
Hockey’s Future had him rated at 30, as well.

But I can’t find tomorrows schedule.
If anything, NHL.com will cover it.

So who should we take for 33rd?
I’d say Ferrarro or O’Reilly personnally.
