Congratulations Taylor Hall, who went first at this year's NHL Draft. The hype created by the NHL regarding who will Edmonton choose Taylor or Tyler reminded me of Edward or Jacob, who will Bella select lol. For those of you who don't know the characters Edward, Jacob and Bella (Please wake up and step out from under the rock) they are from the novel and movie series Twilight. Back to the NHL, I was hoping for many trades or crazy moves being made but nothing happened. Many people including Leaf Nation were upset at Brian Burke for giving up the second pick in this years draft. The second pick turns out to be Tyler Seguin, In my opinion the trade which resulted in Phil Kessel becoming a Leaf was great :) Some people seem to forget that Seguin might be a great player right now but that doesn't mean he will be in the NHL, you might recall a certain someone named Alexander Daigle who was drafted first in 93 by the Ottawa Senators.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandre_Daigle) Does anyone know where he is now?
Phil Kessel on the other hand is young at 22 and can score goals as he clearly led the Leafs last season with thirty. http://mapleleafs.nhl.com/club/player.htm?id=8473548
Good Luck to both Taylor and Tyler! and keep it going Kessel!
This post is late because I have been taken over by world cup fever... GO GERMANY GO
P.S. Brain Burke please do not give up Kaberle for Marc Savard. We play Boston I think 8 times a year and that would be a nightmare with Kaberle on the opposing team. Plus, Savard gets hurt too much it seems.
