*One guy drafted was drafted from a Canadian college in Quebec but I had no idea where to put him so I stuck him here.
**Includes both college players (4) and kids from the USHL and NAHL (5).
***Dean was appointed general manager 2 months before this draft so he used Dave Taylor's scouts. You can tell.
****Total includes Oscar Moller, although he should probably be considered a European player. I don't know if Dean would have drafted him if he hadn't already come over, though.
Dean loves English-speaking Canada and the United States, hates everyone else. Well, OK, he sometimes likes Russians.

It's interesting that Dean has primarily drafted forwards from the WHL and defensive players from the Q since historically the WHL is known as a defensive league and the Q is known as an offensive one. That has changed in recent years and it seems like Dean has followed that change.
Who are the Kings going to draft?
I'm going to guess that the Kings will trade up to either draft a Western Canadian or American forward in the 2nd round. They are not going to draft a non-Russian European because Dean hates them. Before the pick, they'll talk about Drew Doughty even though he's not even there. The pick will cause the TSN booth to shuffle their papers and stare blankly for a few seconds before Bob McKenzie rattles off something. Pierre McGuire will annoy everybody.

Pierre will have seen the player
in the most remote town in which he’s played, and will reference that along with the name of the coach, a former teammate of such-and-such.
Amiright, Edso?

I’ve asked McGuire and Panger to punch Pierre so many times, they don’t even respond to my tweets. :( Maybe I need to mass tweet with nude photos to get their attention.

You want him to punch himself? (fun fact (according to Wikipedia): Pierre’s real name is Regis)

If it makes you feel better, all they’ll talk about are contract issues and if Brian Burke is going to trade for him and sign him to a giant deal and ahhhhhhhhhhh

You know, the draft is one area where I’m not going to fault announcers for sounding like tools. There’s so much goddamn time to fill waiting and waiting, I doubt anybody could fill it effectively.
They should have extended Jay Mohr’s contract an extra couple of days just because he seems to be such a willing scapegoat for poor entertainment value — it’s his fault this yawnfest didn’t translate into television gold!

I love Go. Timothy Elephant rules, and is pretty close to A list now. Maybe B+. Motherfuckin’ jack in the box.

Wow, I didn’t know we’d become such good friends, because if we had, you’d know that I give head before I give favors and I don’t even give my best friends head so your chances of getting a favor are pretty fucking slim.

Haha, one brave soul appreciates
I swear, sometimes I look at this dude’s laff-filled comments and wonder, “How come nobody’s rectum yet?”
Then I remember I wrote ’em, and I feel like an asshole.
Sorry if that sounded a little butthurt.

Emerson Etem should be pretty good. He had 80 points in the WHL on a line with Linden Vey, a Kings prospect. He tweets stuff like this:
linden vey is the best roomy in the world, made sure i got treatment this mornin’ realy helping out the line chem for tonight
I can’t wait until they both make the NHL. It’s going to be like a remake of The Fox & The Hound.
One draft, whoopty doo. =)
I’m more comfortable with Murray than that dumb bastard Burke, that’s for sure.
He also tweets gems like, “Buffalo is worse than medicine hat.” I think that was during the WJC.
Another black hockey player complained about Buffalo on twitter once, he was strung with some bad luck in recent years. Good thing his bad mojo won’t be coming back to the Ducks next season. =)

Haha What were the stupid Avalanche thinking when they signed him? Tsk tsk
That’s also great news regarding Richards. Suck on that Niewendyk!

Good news for Breezy’s agent:
Hearing CBJ gives Voracek, 1st round pick and 3rd round pick for Carter.

Boor for the Bj’s though…Voracek isn’t really good. the only loss I see is the 1st rounder.

Now it’s getting crazy, and closer to home.
Mike Richards to LA for a package including Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds? Hearing from good sources that it could happen.
Whoa.

Done deal, and it’s a blockbuster. Phi trades captain Mike Richards to LA for Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds.
