DRAFT WAR: Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators
I take a look at the draft history between the Canucks and Predators. The focus of this information was to discover which team had drafted more steady NHLers since Nashville’s inception in 1998. I won’t list any trades regarding picks, because that would be another article in itself. Let’s just say in this time frame, both teams have moved a 1st round pick for a franchise player on the decline, and neither of them panned out. (Trevor Linden [VAN] & Peter Forsberg [NSH]). Also note, because of Nashville’s ‘start from scratch’ creation, they had a little bit of advantage in the position of their 1st round picks. Still, note the kind of players missed out by both teams, even in latter rounds. (Plus, there are alot of excellent players not listed here.)
CRITERIA FOR TEAM PLAYERS (VAN or NSH) - Must have been a 1st Round Pick, OR played 2 full seasons worth of games, OR be on a current NHL starting roster
CRITERIA FOR NON-TEAM PLAYERS (Drafted by rest of NHL) - Must have been selected as an NHL All-Star, and selected AFTER a team player

Long ass photo post.
Not too long ago, a childhood friend asked me, “Kamusta ka na Dana? Anong balita?” Without even thinking, I said, “Wala naman. Steady lang. Buhay pa naman. Ikaw?” More often than not, this is how I answer to questions like that. I was shocked with his reply, it made me realize things. “Hindi yan totoo. Baka nakalimutan mo lang. Isipin mo. Dali na. Kamusta ka na nga ba talaga?”

Farewell Again
I’m on 56K dial-up now (It took over a minute to load the Dashboard and it’s still loading this Add Post page as I type it), so I won’t be posting much for awhile. You can still browse all my other media pages in the “About Me” section (twitter, youtube, myspace). I’ll leave with this last collection of graphics I have been meaning to post up, they just make me feel good. Chao. (vietnamese)
