Atlantic Division Draft Review
NHLHS Corrospondent Mike Murangi, who covered the draft for NHLHS, breaks down the Atlantic Division in his draft review.
Atlantic Division Draft Review:
Coming to Los Angeles, two Atlantic Division teams did not have first round picks. The New Jersey Devils sent their pick to the Atlanta Thrashers in the Ilya Kovlchuk deal, and the Flyers traded their pick to the Anaheim Ducks in the Chris Pronger deal.
One trade worked; one did not.
In this article, I will review the first-round pick or top pick for each of all five Atlantic Division teams, and late-round picks that may be gems. I will release each of the other five divisions over the next few days. I would love to hear feedback about what you think, or if you have a question about your favorite team please email me at MMurangi@nhlhotstove.com .
Here is the review:

Au revoir Jacques Lemaire
NHLHS writer Shannon Caulfield takes a look at the career of legendary coach and player Jacques Lemaire who retired from his bench boss position with the New Jersey Devils, and the NHL.
The National Hockey League has had many influential players to leave a mark, but not many have done it the way Jacques Lemaire has.
His career is legendary with the Montreal Canadiens, and just as influential as a coach. Today April 26th, 2010 it was announced that Jacques Lemaire is retiring at the age of 64 years old. “It’s not the team, it is not the result or the lack of result we had in the playoffs,” a glassy-eyed Lemaire said. “It’s not that at all. It’s the end of the line. I’ll be 65. It’s just time.” Lemaire told AP Sports. President Lou Lamoriello mentioned not having thought about a replacement for Lemaire at the time.
