He doesn't say who he thinks is the other guy to potentially go in the top 3 is (I think Duchene is a pretty good guess given everything I've read).<br /><br />Even if he's revealed that he's imagining he'll have to decide between Kane and Schenn, it doesn't really impact any potential moves around him.<br /><br />Pretty unlikely that anyone is going to move ahead of #4 overall to get ahead of ATL and take Kane or Schenn, since if they move up that far it's probably because they want Duchene (or Hedman or Tavares, depending on how far up they move). If they do, it means one of the "consensus" top 3 slips to ATL at #4.speedsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-10406777120355732662009-05-27T12:53:30.841-06:002009-05-27T12:53:30.841-06:00The suprise in Dean's write up was that he didn't ...The suprise in Dean's write up was that he didn't list Spence Machacek in his top 5 picsk for last 3 years...

Pretty rare for a GM to reveal his cards well before the draft like that... assuming he's being honest. <br /><br />We're still a month out from our final mock list so we'll keep this one in mind.Guy Flaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178739486819659419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-18859396932098240442009-05-27T09:50:01.433-06:002009-05-27T09:50:01.433-06:00Here's a report from ATL that suggests ATL is look...Here's a report from ATL that suggests ATL is looking at (probably) <A HREF="http://blogs.ajc.com/atlanta-thrashers-blog/2009/05/26/waddell-speaks-on-the-draft/?cxntfid=blogs_atlanta_thrashers_blog" REL="nofollow">Kane or Schenn</A>speedsnoreply@blogger.com
