Your such a Dunn fan. Seriously? I don't think I'd trade him for Bennett...…….

He meant our pick from WPG, its #29

Thanks for clarifying. Makes more sense. In that case, I endorse the move. I like it.

I wonder if Benn was sitting on his chair Petro in the back until it was time to make this pick

This is so poorly scripted, cringe inducing

damn...damn...damn....

Everyone's talking about ROR. I'll pee myself if it ends up being something like Jake McCabe, #32 and #187 for Sammy Blais and #29.

Wow, there goes Dellandrea already.

WOW....Dellandria at 13

From Wyshinski

A little off the trade floor discussion between Jason Botterill and Doug Armstrong. Blues pick at No. 29

Dallas just got such a great player

That's your boy Tim

Now lets see what Philly gets with our pick in the Schenn trade.

God no. Not for what Bennett has [not] shown to date.

Change of scenery plus he's got some sandpaper to his game

Just give something like Barbashev straight up; swap guys who've allegedly got potential and haven't shown it and might benefit from a change of scenery, unless you *really* don't think you can find a better guy than Bennett at 29 tonight.

I think we can.

Announcement just in ------- Blues trade Schenn for the 14th pick and Lehtera

If the Blues still owned this pick, who would you take?

Great pick for the Flyers....

With Dellandrea off the board, I would have taken Farabee as well

13. Dallas Stars: Ty Dellandrea
Center, Flint-OHL

July 21, 2000 | six-foot | 185 pounds

Dellandrea’s a good skater who can build speed well going through the neutral zone. He’s very powerful at full speed with a strong frame that is hard to contain when he drives to the net or tries to beat a defender to the outside. Dellandrea can make a skilled play to get a zone entry, showing the odd flash of higher level skill, and has above-average vision. His shot is heavy and he can finish chances when he gets them. Dellandrea also is a quality defensive center who can kill penalties well and take critical draws. Coaches will love his versatility.

Pronman’s take: Dellandrea got better as the season went along to where I had a good feeling he was going to go in the first round. Dallas gets much needed center depth. Dellandrea isn’t dynamic, but he’s very good at everything. He has second-line center upside with value at both ends. He’s probably a 3C, but he has skill and, if he keeps trending like he has, he could hit that higher echelon.

Lou: If the #stlblues keep their pick at No. 29, Doug Armstrong said yesterday they would not look particularly for a need, per say, but what they deem to be the best available player.

Listening to the draft on NHL radio and the guy on their was shocked Dellandrea went so high. He said he had him projected as a 3rd line Center and this is telling him that they feel he has 2nd line ability. He said we'll just have to wait and see.

Well that best player at #29 is probably Ryan Merkley

High risk, high reward. I like it.

A lot of reports had Robert Thomas listed as a bottom 6 center last year as well.

Only 4 of the first 16 picks are Canadians.

After you adjust for the current exchange rate, it's just 3.01 Canadians.
