OTHER NOTES: The St. Louis Blues don’t have a pick until #32 overall, the Nashville Predators don’t have a pick until #38 and the Los Angeles Kings don’t have a pick until #49. And, if you’re a Flyers fan, you’ll be waiting a while. They don’t get to make a selection until late in the third round (#84 overall). That pick, by way, is from when they traded Dan Hamhuis’s rights to the Penguins last summer. So, without it, the Flyers faithful would be waiting until the fourth round for their first selection in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.

Yikes.
