Pretty eventful day.

Rask traded to Boston

Phil the Thrill drafted (And Toews, Backstrom, Giroux and Foligno)
Jackets did not shit the bed (Landed Brasshole, Mason and Dorsett)

Flames drafted Leland Irving who went on to play 13 NHL games between the pipes.

Jackets did not shit the bed (Landed Brasshole, Mason and Dorsett)

Canucks shat the bed so hard after the first round (Grabner) that it spilled over into the following year.
for the rest of 2006 they had one guy play 8 games total (Shirokov, 1 goal)
were still reeling in 2007, when NOT A SINGLE DRAFT PICK PLAYED A SINGLE NHL GAME*


*although Patrick White and Danial Rahimi turned into Christian Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich - thank you San Jose!

Caprice (looked it up) and Garrett were the goalies for that year

Whatever happened to that guy? He seemed like he was going to be a good one too bad it never panned out.
Didn't he miss an empty net breakaway at one time?
