If you're curious about what we thought about the draft, check out the Twitter. Curtis had the floor for the first round of the draft and emotions ran high.
But if you're like us, the Draft was full of surprises and picks that made no sense and trades that shocked us.
Here are some things you should know that we learned about the draft...
- Ryan Murray was taken by the Edmonton Oilers.
The Columbus Blue Jackets do not exist. And never did.
- Nail Yakupov takes a call while being photographed.
He was probably shoe-less as well.
- Jordan Staal is still a Penguin. This trade never happened.
And Evgeni Malkin was traded to the Devils for Zach Parise straight up, yo.
- The Edmonton Oilers are actually run by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who is the smartest person in that organization.
- Brian Burke made his pick and then dropped the mic. Like a boss.
And then promptly scared the crap outta Morgan Rielly.
"WE DON'T WEAR HATS, SON!"
- The Capitals picked a Swede, not a surprise there.
It was either nice hair or a Russian.
- Someone in the Boston Bruins organization is a troll.
And all of the Subbans totally approve.
- Griffin Reinhart has a very serious resting face.
No, seriously, that's his resting face.
- We really enjoyed the artsy way they photographed the Top Three picks.
So artistic.
- Mathew Dumba must really like the Minnesota Wild.
YEAH GET IT BOI, YOU REPRESENT THAT WILD!
- Honestly, you can always tell a Swede and a Finn.
Swede: hair, shirt shirt shirt and the white belt
Finn: FOREHEAD and forty-five repeating vowels in both names
- Top 3 GMs based on looks:
1) Steve Yzerman
2) Chuck Fletcher
3) Marc Bergevin
Boom.
- Gary Bettman photobombed the ONE-TWO-THREE pick picture
and he doesn't care at all. He's so done with this.
- Nail Yakupov got his eyebrows done by the same person who does (doesn't do) Zach Bogosian's eyebrows.
- Happiest draft pick who wasn't a Russian: Jacob Trouba.
Coincidentally, he is the mouth twin of Jeff Petry. And they're both American defensemen.
Awesome. And creepy.
- Tom Wilson.
We might have to become Capitals fans after seeing his pretty face and Mike Green-esque hair. Seriously thinking about it.
- Guy Boucher is so sassy.
You know he's judging Slater on how he puts on that jersey. "Oh, no you didn't. That's not how you put on a jersey. Son, you got some shit to learn."
- Radek Faksa.
We kind of love you.
- Teuvo Teravainen.
Solid pick. Solid name.
- High-fives all around. Us yinzers love the high-five.
Obviously.
- The End.

Dude. Don't even joke about trading Geno. I knew you were joking and I legit had heart palpitations. WHY WOULD YOU GUYS EVER DO THAT TO ME.
I respect y'all, but you CANNOT have Zach. We just lost the Cup. Give us a break!!!
But you can have Kovalchuk. Cheap!
The part with Subbans made me laugh, then I realised I was not sure which of PK´s younger brothers actually was in the picture. Mal the goalie I suppose.
When the Bruins chose Malcolm Subban I felt like I was being Punk'd. But after watching some video of him and hearing him joke about how he doesn't like his brother anyway, I'm starting to feel a little better.
I still feel badly for the CBJ not getting the first pick. If they didn't have bad luck they'd have no luck at all.
I wish I could say that the Bruins were in the hunt for Zack, but I think everyone knows that's total crap since the Bs have about $3mil cap space and still haven't signed Tuukka so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you Michelle!
Malcolm Subban is THE SHIZNIT bitches. The SHIZITTTTTT. I know, it's hard to believe he shares DNA and at one time shared a bathtub with PeeKay. But still. He's a goalie. Weeksie approves. He's a freakball. It'll all work out.
@Michelle - I feel for ya, sister woman chiquita banana. Freaking UpChuck man. Blame Lou's senile dementia and too many mortadella sandwiches.
@Everybody Else - Enough with ragging on hockey players from Finland, okay?! They're a worthy and highly-evolved tribe and you just have to take my word for it. It's not their fault if sometimes they have 10-heads instead of foreheads. And if they aren't as glammy or as freshly-waxed as Swedish girly men. Uncle, for crying out loud!!!!
Reports state that Sutter was "stunned" by the trade to the Pens. Has he given a statement yet? We are approaching 48hrs since it happened. Is he so stunned that he can't even give the standard NHL scripted statement? Maybe have his agent issue a couple of lines. I'm sure this is very hard for him. But come on it's not he got traded to the Bluejackets.
I apologize in advance if he has talked with the press and I just missed.
@msd I haven't heard that Sutter is upset. Not all players issue statements after trades so that doesn't mean anything. I would think he would be happy with the trade. He's going to a team who, if they get Parise, will be Cup favorites.
@Cat Josh Yohe of the Trib tweeted the stunned blip yesterday. Of course you do have to be a little leery of tweets. On friday Rob Rossi tweeted that we had traded Michalek & a player for Yandle or Klesla. I got all excited for nothing lol.
