[LeafsGM]

Honestly I would place the top 3 in reverse order. All depends on the pressure by fans on the NYI.

Kreider is bond to go by the 15th pick.

[minnesota]

I think Hedman will be picked by the Islanders which means Tampa Bay will take Tavares. If so, that means TB will have Lecavalier, Stamkos, and Tavares at center. I'd trade Vinny to Montreal for a boatload of their top prospects.
