Brain drain

Just a few thoughts on whats happening in the NHL:
1: I wouldn't trade much for Drouin, as he has done little to prove himself at the NHL level and has already asked for a trade. I see a prima donna.
2: Elated to see Tallon and the Panthers rewarded and succeeding.
3: Get tired of leafs fans over valuing anyone who wears blue and white.
4:Wish Damien Cox would stop talking, he has taken over from McGuire as the most hated man in Hockey.
5: Really didn't see Babcock being able to do what he has done with the leafs, I knew he was a great coach, but the work ethic and accountability is outstanding.
6:Morgan Reilly should get an 8 year deal.
7
hanuef is the best I have seen him since the WJC.
8:For the first time in my memory I have faith in Kadri.
9:The worst GM's are Francis-Benning-Kekalainen
10:The Best GM is Stan Bowman
11:If the Islanders don't get help for JT they will lose him next contract.
12:Washington is not deep enough to hold the cup up.
13:Disappointed that The Jets haven't pulled the trigger on Buff.
14:Nashville still needs 2 more pieces and should pursue Leo Komorov and Partenteau from the Leafs.
15: Hoping McCloed sinks in the draft standings, he will be the best kept secret in the draft. Miht be an NHL captain and possibly with a Selke trohpy.
16: Columbus wins the trade not Nashville, Jones is a rock star amungst high school band mates, has no attitude issues and is a sublime athlete.
17:Chiarelli may be the league leader in patience points.
18:Montreal is no where near a cup, unless they get some muscle that can score up front.
19:Last Kick at the can for the Kings, obviously they are going for it. But if the chemistry isn't there and they don't add another puck mover they will be in tough. Next year will be a mass exodus of players.
20:The drop in the Canadian dollar will surely effect the salary cap, smart GM's are banking on that.
21: If Fletcher doesn't make a splash, he is going to find his walking papers.
22: Doesn't matter who you draft if you don't develop them properly they are all a bust.
23: I don't miss enforcers at all but I would never take fighting out of the game.
24:After the comments made at the WJC I would be shocked of Ron Wilson ever coaches again.
25: WJC was stellar this year.
26:Stamkos is going no where, Yzerman needs to drop his know it all attitude.
27:Morgan Reilly is NOT a number one Dman----But he will be.
28:Every draft I question the leafs decisions, until now. Hunter is clearly a mad genius. I hope he maintains that focus and doesn't make arrogant picks.
29:Does Doug Maclean talk about himself more than Don Cherry???? I think so. But every group needs comic relief.
30:McKenzie/Dreger is by FAR the smartest team in Hockey.
