I've always said the draft is difficult for me to get really interested in because the Wings haven't brought players straight in via the draft in years. The trades are fun, though, so I thought I'd open up a thread for it.

Right now there's a denied rumor about Brian Campbell being dealt to the Jackets. Love this stuff.

Ohh, Campbell may have been asked to waive his NTC and said no.

They're saying Smyth to the Oilers is a done deal.

Smythe from LA to Edmonton for Brule and a pick. Meanwhile, Robyn Regehr has declined to waive his NTC to go to Buffalo.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins goes first overall to Edmonton. I hate this pick.

Not really, I just wanted to be the only person to say that.

The Oilers are proud to make that pick? I'd be more worried about finishing last so often.

At the Plymouth / Kitchener game I was at earlier this year, Landeskog was clearly better than every other player on the ice. After dealing Liles I wondered if the Avs would go for a defenseman in Larsson but obviously this was a good choice.

Huberdeau to the Panthers. Dammit, I have him in the DFHL and now he's wasted.

McGuire is a tool. Larsson isn't a steal. He's a top-four pick and the three teams before New Jersey didn't need defense. I thought Colorado might have taken him but I guess having picked up Johnson, they thought the power forward need was worse.

Chipman makes the Winnipeg Jets name official. I would have preferred to have them wait and do it as "With the seventh overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft... the Winnipeg Jets select..."

And they promptly go a bit off the board. Interesting.

Avs keep the eleventh pick. Lots of rumors that they'd deal it for a goalie.

Speaking of deals... Boring...

Caps way overpaying if they're dealing a first-rounder for Brouwer. Wow.

Someone who won't play for five to seven years.

That's not me being a smartass, that's what they've said. Also, "best player available."

Blockbuster: SJS trades Setoguchi, Charlie Coyle and 1st pick (No. 28) to MIN for Brent Burns and a 2nd rd pick

Wow. That's a pretty big deal there.

Toronto and Anaheim make the first pure draft deal with the Leafs moving up.

Ottawa and Detroit about to trade...

Edit: Wings deal #24 to Ottawa for #35 and #48. Wings won't make a pick tonight.

Chicago managed to unload Campbell to Florida. Interesting to hear exactly what that deal is when it's official.

Edit: Can't believe the 'Hawks managed to get a player back in return for a cap dump. They should have had to pay Florida to make that deal.

Interesting the first two picks out of the QMJHL and the third from the OHL.
