Flair from the draft
Some interesting kids among the Islanders' draft picks... Maxim Gratchev comes from Billerica with a much more interesting backstory in Russia. (The Isles' Web site twice calls him a guy "with flare." Pyrotechnics optional.) And Blake Kessel, little brother of Phil, came to the Islanders at 166.
Boston traded up to take Tommy Cross of Simsbury early in the second round; San Jose grabbed Farmington legend Nick Bonino in the sixth, and Drew MacKenzie of New Canaan went to Buffalo near the end of the seventh. By the way, know what's weirder than kids you covered in high school playing pro hockey? Kids you covered in junior Babe Ruth playing pro ball.

I thought Valley had at least 1 more year in the Rangers organization. With the Rangers having Lundquist, I think Valley actually has a shot at being the backup in New York. There is no way the Rangers keep Weekes. He was almost as bad as Dunham for the Islanders.
