Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 2924027" data-attributes="member: 2012">The picks are as follows...Edmonton gets Anaheim’s first round draft choice in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, a conditional first round draft choice and their second round draft choice in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. The conditional 1st round draft pick depends how the Ducks do in the regular season and playoffs.And while I was hoping for a second roster player, I'm fairly happy with the deal. Lupul is an Edmonton boy, while Smid has all the makings of an all-star defenceman. He's a Top 10 NHL Prospect, and I think he can step in and play in 2006-07.And don't forget that the next few drafts are supposedly LOADED with talent. Either that or Kevin Lowe can trade away one of those 1st round picks for a solid vetern player like he did with Edmonton's 2006 1st round pick for Dwayne Roloson.And now Edmonton has $6 Mil. of freed up Cap space to sign out restricted and unrestricted free agents. (Lupul is RFA, but I think he'll be thrilled to play in Edmonton, and it won't cost the team too much.)Cheers!KF72</blockquote>
