Some of this seems almost anticlimactic; the Sedins absolutely HAVE to be split, while the Staals, Skinner, and Ward are almost certain to be united. Duh.

You don’t think Lidstrom will take Skinner just to get one of the hometown guys on his team? I might even put money on that happening. Ward’s definitely Staal’s first pick, though.

Or are you waiting to see how things shake out? I’m Team Grandpa (as DGB put it) all the way. Would have probably been anyway, just because it’s Lidstrom, but when the league named Marty one of his alternates, it pretty much solidified it.

Billion years ago would have been way before my time. Didn’t really watch a lot of hockey until about 2006 or so… and we stopped getting cable in 2003. Now I only catch Vs or the NHL Network when I’m in VA visiting my family (my aunt works for the cable company – they get all the channels).
