*Bob seems to think we’ll be taking a center over one of the two high-end defensemen that will likely still be there at five. [NBC Sports Philly]
*We’re at 27 on the ol’Community Board, and all the way down here is a kid winning awards up in the Q. [BSH]

*We’re probably all hoping Chuck makes a trade or three this summer, and these guys are potential targets he may want to lock in on. [Sportsnet]
