2010 NHL Entry Draft

Who knows, it sounds like Galiev is the guy at 31 anyways, so it'll be a moot point.

As for the lines...no idea. I mean I could completely guess, but there still must me some movement coming with the team (either in the form of buyouts or trades etc), and I can't guess which young guys might be put on the team (I'd be in favor of letting the kids take over at this point personally).

But those 2 lines are pretty much what I'd like to see, though with the money Horcoff is being paid I really doubt they have it in them to stick him on the "third" line. So I could see something like Hall-Horcoff-Eberle.

Then Paajarvi with whichever guys survive the shuffle in the next couple weeks.

I think the Oilers would be smart to run with three scoring lines, so Horcoff wouldn't really be on the "third" line so to speak. Chicago and Philly were both doing this and had great success with it in the post season, and Buffalo was a powerhouse when they had the depth to do this.

I agree, I just think perception is a part of it.

So you must be excited to not only draft Hall in our league, but the fact that he's an Oiler makes it extra sweet I would imagine.

Nice pick up on Eberle by the way. I really didn't see him having quite as much upside as it appears he might. With his performance, one wonders if he might be a little bit like Claude Giroux production wise. Very nice indeed.

Just so much uncertainty right now with how guys will perform, so who knows. No expectations other than to watch the young guys play some hockey next year.
