Yeah Philly did the contract, and instead of taking the FIVE first round picks and running, the Preds matched.
I think the Predators had just traded / let walk some big-name players, and they felt they HAD to match to keep what fanbase they had at that point.
The Predators passed on picks #11, 17, 7, 22, and 2 (assuming the Flyers pick in the same spots).
Yeah, that hurts. Pretty sure Provorov is, uh, good.
Winamp - it really whips the llama's ass.
