I am going to call San Jose vs Washington in the finals. Vancouver/Detroit would be a great series to watch.

I was shocked to see VAN/DET in 1st rnd too. What a change in standings from mid season. I'm hoping for ANA to lose fast got thier 1st rnd pick in draft. Looks like Pittsburgh could go far unless NHL #8 seed strikes again with upset.

DRAFT LOTTERY:

"EDMONTON OILERS WIN FIRST PICK FOLLOWED BY COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS WITH 2ND PICK."



INTERVIEW WITH COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS GM P.COFFEY:

NHL NETWORK-EVEN AFTER FINISHING LAST IN ALL OF NHL LAST YEAR YOUR TEAM CAN'T EVEN GET A BREAK LOSING THE #1 PICK TO EDMONTON ANY THOUGHTS???

GM-"SEEMS LIKE THE BAD LUCK IS STILL WITH US BUT I'M HOPEFUL EVEN LOSING THE #1 PICK I THINK WE CAN GET A FRANCHISE TYPE PLAYER AT THE #2 SPOT. I WAS HOPING FOR THE #1 SPOT BECAUSE AS WE ARE REBUILDING YOU HAVE LOTS OF OPTIONS TO DEAL WITH A #1 OVERALL PICK."

NHL NETWORK-WHAT ARE COLUMBUS' PLANS FOR THE OFFSEASON ???

GM-"WELL WE FINISHED LAST IN OFFENSE AND DEFENSE SO WE CAN'T DO ANY WORSE THAN THAT. I PLAN ON FINDING SOME SOLID SCORING WINGS AND VETERAN DEFENSE IN THE OFF SEASON THRU TRADES OR FREE AGENCY. THE DRAFT WE ARE OBVIOUSLY TAKING TOP YOUNG PROSPECTS BUT IN OUR SCOUTING NONE OF THE PLAYERS IN THIS DRAFT ARE NHL READY NOW SO WE WON'T GET TOO MUCH HELP FROM THE DRAFT UNLESS ITS AN OLDER PROSPECT."

NHL NETWORK-"THERE HAVE BEEN RUMORS SURROUNDING YOUR STAR FOWARD R.NASH, ANY TRUTH HE MIGHT BE MOVED THIS OFFSEASON???

GM-"I HAVE ABSOLUTLY NO PLANS ON TRADING OUR LEADING SCORER AND CAPTAIN R.NASH. TEAMS MAY ASK BUT HES UNTOUCHABLE UNLESS HE BECOMES UNHAPPY BUT HE HAS PRODUCED THROUGHOUT THE LOSING AND HES BEEN A INVALUABLE MEMBER OF THIS CLUB. I WILL HOPE J.CARTER HAS A HEALTHY YEAR AND PLAYS IN MORE GAMES AND S.MASON WILL HAVE A BETTER DEFENSIE CORPS IN FRONT OF HIM AND I THINK WE CAN EASILY MOVE THE REBUILDING EFFORT FOWARD."
