If Draft Picks Are Involved At The Deadline

from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
As the NHL trade deadline creeps ever closer, here’s something to keep in mind: the only team without a first-round draft choice to dangle as trade bait is the San Jose Sharks. The Sharks surrendered a first-rounder in the trade with Tampa to land Dan Boyle, but then the Lightning flipped the pick to the Ottawa Senators in the Andrej Meszaros trade. That makes the Sens the only team with two first-rounders heading into the ‘09 draft. No team has more picks in 2009 than the Los Angeles Kings, however – 14 in all and multiple choices in the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh rounds. Nashville isn’t far behind, with 12 picks in the draft.
The rebuilding Leafs, meanwhile have just five. They’re missing a second-rounder and a fourth-rounder, the second-rounder surrendered to the New York Islanders for the right to move up two places in last year’s draft and select Luke Schenn; the fourth-rounder sent to San Jose two years ago to complete the Vesa Toskala deal.
