	2006 NHL MOCK DRAFT
		Bernier will be the first goalie taken in the draft, he is a butterfly goalie with a good glove hand and he covers the angles well.
		The Kings do not have a star goalie prospect in the system and with their inconsistent NHL goalies, Bernier could be fast tracked to the NHL if the Kings dont fix their problem in the big leagues.
		The Thrashers are currently an old team at the forward position and would benefit from his offensive potential and defensive skills, their arent many teenagers youd put out with game on the line but this kid could handle that kind of pressure.

	2006 NHL Entry Draft - www.scout.com
		What a wasted draft after the 1st rounder as three of their picks will be going to university rather than play in the minors and develop under the Avalance system.
		Drafting NCAA players is a growing trend and it will continue to be under the new CBA.
		I thought this was a very good draft for the Avs to backup the splendid draft they had the year before.

		Under the CBA, which was the same in the past, when clubs draft 18-year-old players from the CHL they retain the exclusive right to their services for two years so long as they comply with the rules of the CBA.
		In prior CBA's, European players who were Drafted did not have the right to re-enter the Draft if they were under contract to a European team at the time of the Draft and they remained in Europe playing professional hockey.
		Now clubs who Draft players from Europe, such as Backstrom, must reach agreement on a contract by the 2008 Draft or the club will lose the exclusive right to the player and he may be drafted again.

	FlyersPhans.com :: 2006 NHL Entry Draft
		In this pre-draft world dominated by players who have yet to prove themselves on the NHL level, there are always a chosen few who are worthy of special attention and this year’s draft will be no exception.
		With the influx of penalties given in the NHL for hooking, holding and obstruction a 6’4 defenseman with outstanding skill and the speed to go toe to toe with very mobile forwards, could prove to be a hot commodity.
		Zharkov could easily be the fastest or most elusive skater in the draft and given the path the NHL has chosen for itself his value would be quite high in the later part of the first round if he can continue to score with consistency.

		At the outset, it looks like the Oilers figure to be minor players on the day with their first choice coming 45th overall but a number of scouts have noted that after the top 15 picks, everything from 16 to 50 is a toss-up.
		Ever since winning the draft lottery in April, the St. Louis Blues having been drooling over the prospect of drafting Erik Johnson first overall and barring a trade, he will likely be the first name called Saturday evening.
		Another defensive defenceman, at 6'4" 202 pounds John de Gray is expected to be a strong second defence pairing in the NHL someday.
