Draft Features |
| Adelson: Brave soul Nothing could stop Duncan MacPherson while he roamed the ice. Only one thing stopped him while he roamed the world. |
 Opportunity is knocking. And Michigan goalie Al Montoya is going to answer the door wearing an ill-fitting suit. |
Goaltending is the most important position in hockey -- arguably in all of sports. So why is deciding where to draft one so difficult? |
The road to the Stanley Cup seems to be paved with green. Yet many teams have been led down it with players they didn't buy. |
The draft's first two picks are certain. What happens after that -- from pick No. 3 to next season to the next draft -- is anyone's guess. |
Alexander Ovechkin is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft. But when he'll actually join the NHL is uncertain. |
 Alexander Ovechkin is comfortable -- and somewhat cocky -- as the NHL's top-ranked prospect. |
| Joyce: Kicking the tires The NHL's combine isn't about making a reputation, but protecting one. Robbie Schremp is a perfect example. |
| Draft rankings: Michigan's Montoya tops goalies Michigan sophomore Al Montoya topped the list of North American goaltenders eligible for the NHL draft in rankings released Wednesday. |
| Caps win drawing, No. 1 pick The Capitals won the NHL's draft drawing on Tuesday, earning the right to the first overall selection in the June 26 entry draft. |
