It is I, your long lost blogger Yick. With CJ unable to cover draft day, I will take over and provide you with al the information about the first round of the draft as well as any trades that might take place.
Two trades have already taken place today: Vesa Toskala and Mark Bell going to Toronto in exchange for a conditional 1st-round pick, a 2nd-round pick next year, and a fourth round pick in 2009. Tomas Vokoun was also traded to Florida in exchange for a first round pick next year, a second round pick this year, and a second round pick either this year or next year.
Stick around, draft coverage begins in half an hour.
