If Edmonton takes it.. would this be an NHL record of sorts?

Well, if we pick Galchenyuk or Grigorenko (both centers) in the draft we might need to do a blockbuster trade...
We have Desharnais, Plekanec, Eller, Leblanc as our 4 centers which is great depth... but we'll have no place unless we trade one of them.
Plekanec has the most value so maybe include him in a package for a high 1st 2013 (1st-10th overall). This where I see Calgary going for it, if Jokinen doesn't resign.
I wouldn't want to be in Timmins' shoes right now. The more I think about the players available at the draft, the more I wouldn't mind us picking a D (in that case, no question trading Pleky).
Having Markov/Subban/Gorges/
Dumba (or Murray)? back there will make Price's job a lot easier.
The
11th best defense this year (pretty surprising considering we're a lottery team), will likely get even better.
