Using the pick they acquired from the San Jose Sharks in the Ian White trade last year, the Hurricanes added another winger to their organization by selecting LW Brock McGinn of the Guelph Storm. McGinn is the brother of Jamie McGinn of the Colorado Avalanche and most recently finished his second year with the Storm in the OHL. He missed about half of the season with a wrist injury and finished the year with 12 goals, 18 points in 33 games. He also missed six games last season after being suspended for a hit from behind earlier in the year.
It was hard to dig up a lot of information about McGinn because he was projected to go outside the top 100 by a lot of scouts and he wasn't exactly a coveted prospect in this draft.

He also isn't very big for someone in that role (5' 11"/174 lbs) but he is only 18 so hopef...

from Adrian Dater of All Things Avs, Matt Duchene could have played hardball at the bargaining table. He could have gotten more than a two-year, $7 million deal….
But he’s a team guy, in the final analysis. It’s funny – Duchene doesn’t lack for confidence and there have been times I’ve wondered if he’s a bit too full of himself. But I don’t think that now, never...

As many of you know, the Colorado Avalanche do not possess a 2012 first round draft pick as they sent it away in a deal for some goaltender from... Finland? Norway? Well one of those countries across the ocean.
Anyway, on the first day of the draft, this could present certain problems. As the Avs are sitting at their table while other clubs are drafting, it is easy to get bored.
