2007-2008 Blues Draft and Off-Season thread

[MrCrowesGarden]

Jeremy Rutherford confirmed that the Blues have invited Hobey Baker Award winner Ryan Duncan to a developmental camp. Duncan is past his draft year, so he can sign with anyone whenever he pleases.

As some of you may know, Duncan is the college teammate of T.J. Oshie. Oshie originally stated that he would return to college, but if Duncan and Jonathon Toews (who already left and signed a professional contract with the Blackhawks) both leave, he may feel compelled to turn pro as well.

I really hope that the Blues talk Oshie into signing. [-o<

Yup, Oshie could be the speedie goal scoring wing the Blues lack. I hope it gets done soon.

Check out the Flyers. They traded for Hartnell and Timmonen rights and then sign them both. I hate the Flyers.

One of the few things Keenan did was outlaw those jersey's. I think they were set to be used in 1996 and Keenan vetoed them. Good move on his part.

I'd like to see the Blues pick up ether Handzus or Walt for center, knowing that guys like Drury and Gomez are out of our price range.

Knowing our price range, who does everyone want?

I'd be fine with Handzus or Walt, I guess. Maybe Nylander. I would have to see who else is out there, that's not a top notch FA.

Draft is soon boys! This may be the most excited I've ever been for ANY draft in pro sports.

It's funny you say that JJ. I have been thinking that all week. I plan on sitting down with a few beers and enjoying this draft.

We may wheel and deal on Friday. I'm very interested to see what we do with the 9th pick.
