The B on the logo is a little different, they added a white stripe to the top of the sweater, and the ties are new. It's a lot like the third jerseys they've worn the last couple of years. Oh, and there's a new "alternate logo" based on the logo from the Eddie Shore days. All in all, they look good ... primarily because the B's haven't drifted far from their heritage. Too bad they're such a dreadful team.

The Blue Jackets are going to debut their new sweaters tonight.

Don't teams generally introduce new logos/jerseys at the draft?

Will we see everyone's new sweaters upper-body, form-fitting performance outerwear tonight?

Out of Ottawa: Redden for Lupul.

And I like the Caps jersey. Very retro.

Today/tonight's going to be crazy, huh?

And there's about a million rumors out of Philadelphia. And a million and one out of Edmonton.

Anyone know the rationale for moving the draft to Friday? It blows my tradition of going to McDonald's drive-thru and feasting on hotcakes, while watching the first round.

Rangers are looking to draft a forward according to the New York papers.

NHL DRAFT LACKS IMPACT PLAYERS

By LARRY BROOKS

June 22, 2007 -- COLUMBUS, Ohio - It won't be ultimate combat, but Versus apparently will televise tonight's first-round of the NHL Entry Draft beginning at 7 o'clock. Then again, it won't be an ultimate first round, either, so viewers might want to prepare themselves for pre-emption and tape delay.
There's no buzz at all surrounding the draft that will be completed tomorrow with Rounds 2-7. There are no Next Ones on the horizon, no saviors. That's why top-three selectors Chicago, Philadelphia and Phoenix have made it clear they're willing to be romanced for their picks - and that's why no one had come seriously courting as of last night.

"When people say that the draft isn't deep, they're talking about the top end," Rangers draft chief Gordie Clark said. "You're still going to get players, just not likely the kind of player who's going to be able to make an immediate impact."

The Rangers are scheduled to select 17th. The Islanders, who sent what would have been the 15th pick to Edmonton in the Ryan Smyth trade, aren't slotted to get their first choice until tomorrow, 63rd overall. The Devils, who dealt what would have been the 26th pick to San Jose in the Vladimir Malakhov salary-cap clear, also have no scheduled business tonight, their first pick 57th overall.

Clark acknowledged that if presented with a choice of near equals, the Blueshirts would go for a forward rather than a defenseman. He also said that though the club would be interested in trading up, he doubted an opportunity, such as the one the club grabbed two years ago in moving up from 16 to 12 in a trade with Atlanta to select Marc Staal, would appear.

That was the deal in which the Blueshirts sent the Thrashers the 41st overall pick in order to move up four spots and grab Staal. Interestingly, Atlanta used its first-round pick to select winger Alex Bourret, whom the Rangers acquired at this year's trade deadline in exchange for Pascal Dupuis and a third-rounder this year.

"There were surprises and mistakes made that allowed Staal to be available at 12, but there'd have to be way too many in this draft for that kind of a scenario to develop for us," Clark said. "But even so, we'll be sniffing around in case we see the opportunity to pounce on a player we like who might be available later than we project he will be."

With recent blue-line draft selections Staal, Michael Sauer, Ivan Baranka and Bobby Sanguinetti progressing pretty much on pace, Clark said it would be correct to suggest the Rangers are eyeballing a forward for their first pick.

"If we take a defenseman, it would have to be a real top-end guy," Clark said. "We're looking for forwards who can eventually play on our top two lines. That's where the need lies in the organization."

Protective of his club's information, Clark nevertheless scoffed at some of the names that were attached to the Rangers in various mock drafts. It is, however, believed the team is keenly interested in Swedish center Mikael Backlund, who's not likely to be available, and perhaps in Swiss center Luca Cunti.

*

Center Kyle Turris, wingers Patrick Kane, James vanRiemsdyk, Alexei Cherepanov and Sam Gagner are consensus picks to be among the top seven selected. . . . Phoenix GM Don Maloney is not shopping the third overall pick, but he's letting interested parties know that taking defenseman Nick Boynton (two years remaining at $2.95 million per) would be a condition of any trade.
