DraftGeeks, time for hosannas. TSN insider Bob McKenzie has released his top 60 list of draft-eligible players for 200, as well as some background info on what the League in general is thinking.
Bob’s not a scout, so why should we pay attention to his list? Because he goes right to the source — NHL GM’s, scouts, directors of scouting, the whole totem pole. It’s about as accurate list as you’ll find, and is a must-print-out for the 22nd.
As a friend of mine e-mailed me, it’s nice that the offseason is now beginning in earnest. Players are starting to sign, trades are being made (quick analysis on the Flyers/Predators deal: good deal for both teams, though the terms of the Timonen deal are a bit long for me. The Flyers overpaid but are a better team today than they were yesterday. The Predators got their first-rounder back for two UFAs they weren’t going to re-sign).
It’s interesting that things both get more clear and more obscured as draft day approaches. I think we’re all excited for Friday to roll around and for things to reveal themselves.
