In case you didn't know, we never had the chance to grab Mikko as the Wild picked him up in the 6th spot and we picked up Komi in the 7th spot.

Sheesh, no need to be harsh. Some fans might have been wondering if we had the chance to get Mikko.
and by the way I'll take Komisarek over Mikko Koivu. He'll be in the NHL faster(should be) and potential monsters on D are just so hard to find(tougher than big centers). Plus, if we would have picked Mikko and the player picked after him had would have gone Marian Hossa on us, the fans wouldn't be happy. They would say ''why do we always pick players because they are brothers or sons of famous NHLers(Hossa, Chouinard and Koivu)''. I know MTL fans by now ;D
Anyone else noticed the first 5 picks of that draft(Kovalchuk, Spezza, Svitov, Weiss and Chistov) are all in the NHL now!

And his reply wasn't harsh, Marc... not harsh...but after seeing my first reply when I used ''you'' he probably thought I was talking to him, but I was really talking about any fan in general. Anyways, ho hard feelings Psy?
