You are the GM for the St. Louis Blues and are on the clock.  Who do you pick?

I believe that Erik Johnson is the best play in this draft. However, as with most Defensemen, he will need some time to progress and think that with the top pick they are going to want a difference maker right out of the box (a la Crosby or Ovechkin). Phil Kessel has been hyped for the past couple years and though he is no Sydney Crosby, he will help generate some much needed buzz and desperately needed points for the Blues.\n\nObviously the Blues have more problems than one player can fix, but you don't get a top 3 pick that often (unless you are the Pens), so I don't see how you could trade it away. \n\nBottom Line, management type people usually thinks in terms of butts in the seats before wins 3-4 years down the road and Phil Kessel can give that to them.\n\nMy pick: Phil Kessel

Goalie for the Leafs. I wouldn't mind being the third string back up, just to be on the line-up is good enough for me.

Niedermeyer is a great choice. I like Dion Phaneuf of Calgary, too. He's a rookie, so he's going to be around for awhile.

I grew up in Buffalo am now living in Michigan. This would be a dream series  Sabres vs Red Wings.  Wouldn't care who won but if I was a betting person Stanley will establish residency in Detroit.

If any team in the Eastern Conference can win the Stanley Cup, it has to be the Ottawa Senators.  They are the most dangerous offensive team in the NHL.  Their only question mark is goaltending... with Dominic Hasek injured, can Ray Emery step up and lead them?  I think so!

I don't know if O'Reilly is even in hockey anymore.  They need a GM who is seen as being totally independent, not a puppet of Sinden.  Somebody with credibility and experience.  Perhaps a Pat Quinn, or a Brian Sutter.  As for coach, that should obviously be the new GM's decision.

Toronto Maple Leafs\n\nnow ur wondering y rite?\n\nwell in a freak ass accident the carolina team plane will crash into the Oilers team plane, and sadly everyone will die. The NHL will say that the cup will not be handed out but fans will say they will boycott the NHL next year year it they dont hand it out. So the League will think and decide to give it to the place they think will generate the most revenue next year and also to a canadian team. The West has all the oil so they r rich and thet wont give it to Vancouver, Calgary. Ottawa is the capital city and they dont want politics involved, and Montreal has already won enuff in the past century. So they;ll give it to the leafs. \n\n\nWAIT one minute, I must be drunk, The Leafs? They'll never get the Cup , WOW I must of drank a lot to think they were gonna get the Stanley CUp.

John Papelbon. He is already closing for one of the most prestigious teams in the AL, and he is one of the biggest stars on the team, even in his first years. If he is injured, or can't keep it up, I would pick Felix Hernandez for the Seattle Mariners to rebound and be the King Felix of last season

Ottawa is punishing.  Their top line are all Right handed shots.  Ottawa will be a force this season.  Corvo is a beast.  Chris Neil is a beast.  So is McGrattan.  The Leafs can't compete anymore.  The tide turns this year with EMERY in goal...
