With the NHL Draft coming up on June 27 and free agency opening on July 1, discussions between NHL general managers are heating up towards a busy off-season. Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. Duck Calling With several marquee centres available via trade and expected to be available via free agency, the Anaheim Ducks could be primed to be big players in the coming days. According to The Orange County Register, the Ducks could be in on any number of big name middle-men on both markets. With two first-rounders - 10th and 24th overall in Fridays draft courtesy of the Bobby Ryan trade - and a host of young roster talent, the Registers Eric Stephens identifies Ryan Kesler, Jason Spezza, Paul Stastny, Eric Staal and even California rival Joe Thornton as possible targets for the Ducks. Out for Number 1? TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger appeared on TSN 1050s Mike Richards in the Morning on Tuesday and stated that the Florida Panthers are still taking calls on the first overall pick in Fridays draft. Dreger said that all reports at this point indicate that the number one pick is definitely in play and that Panthers GM Dale Tallon has indicated that the team would n0t be willing to go below eighth overall on the draft board. It is worth noting that the Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks and Toronto Maple Leafs all fit within that range. Plan Bs The Boston Bruins are planning for the off-season under two possible scenarios: with or without Jarome Iginla. According to the Boston Herald, Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli is weighing out his options in both scenarios. While the team would love to bring him back, his 30 goal-season will make him an expensive option to retain and the team is also penalized by the bonuses he earned last season (upwards of $4 million) that will be taken out of this seasons cap. "There will be hard choices, but it may be that we dont make hard choices and we keep as many people as we can and we go into the year and maybe we do make those hard choices as the year progresses," Chiarelli told the Herald. "It may be that all these things happen at training camp, it may be that all these things happen in November. . . . I think a lot of people think that these hard choices get made July 1. Choices do get made July 1, it may be that we cant sign Jarome, it may be that we go in a different direction, it may be that we cant sign Player X or Player Y." On the Wing After dealing Scott Hartnell to the Columbus Blue Jackets, new Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall will be on the lookout for options at left wing. Philly.coms Sam Carchidi speculates that Hextall will look to fill that vacancy via free agency. Candidates floated to fill out the forward ranks include free agents Mike Cammalleri, Matt Moulson, Benoit Pouliot or Toronto Maple Leafs winger Mason Raymond. Hextall wouldnt close the door on more deals, though, telling Carchidi: "Well keep our ear to the phone and see whats out there." Wholesale Authentic Jerseys .

Then, last Tuesday, it was a matter of constantly refreshing his browser to update the leagues draft tracker. I got to No. 7 (pick of the third round), I refreshed again and it said No. 9, he said. I didnt realize for a second and then I saw No. 8 and it was me. And I was quite shocked.I didnt really know what to think, he added.Ramos called his mother, who was watching on a laptop in Seattle.She was just bawling. It was quite an emotional thing for us ... one of the best experiences of my life, he said between packing, saying goodbyes, withdrawing from spring courses and finding substitute coaches for his under-12 girls and under-14 boys teams.Playing pro soccer has been Ramoss dream forever.The five-foot-11 163-pounder played at three colleges, taking time off to explore options overseas. When that didnt work, he played locally in his native Spokane, Wash., worked and coached soccer. The 23-year-old Ramos was the lone Division III player taken in the four-round draft.Toronto FC coach Greg Vanney says Ramos reminds him a lot of fellow Canadian forward Tesho Akindele, who came out of Division 2 Colorado School of Mines and went onto become MLS rookie of the year with FC Dallas last year.Hes a wide player whos very aggressive at taking people on, Vanney said of Ramos. Hes got good size, good athleticism.Ramos can play on both sides and is fearless when it comes to running at defenders, he added.He became an interesting target, said Vanney, who saw Ramos at a joint combine with the Seattle Sounders in Las Vegas.Ramos also went to a New York City FC combine in Connecticut and was planning to work out for the Sacramento Republic USL Pro team untiil he got drafted.dddddddddddd Ramos led Whitworth with 40 points (14 goals and 12 assists) in 2014, topping the Northwest Conference during the regular season in total points and assists while tying for the lead in goals.People say I play like Thierry Henry, said Ramos. Thats a plus.I just like to run at players if I have any space. Im good at keeping the ball. I pick and choose my times when to pass and when to dribble well. So if the ball comes to me and I have pressure, I can play out of it. And then when I have space, you better look out. Im coming at you.He was the first Pirate to earn NSCAA All-America first team honours.My best soccer experience so far, Ramos said of his one year at Whitworth in Spokane. They really valued character and trying to make us better men, not just better soccer players. That was a big thing for me.Ramos transferred to Whitworth after spending two years at Walla Walla Community College, one at Division 1 Seattle University where he had a full scholarship, and taking two years off.Coming off an in injury, he did not have a good experience in Seattle where the entire coaching staff was fired during the 2011 season.So he put school to one side to focus on soccer, taking part in a Las Vegas combine put on by Pro Soccer Consulting. That eventually led to a tryout with Iceland team IBV with Ramos spending a short time with the club in both Sweden and Iceland.It did not lead to a contract, however. Ramos was disappointed, but only briefly.Ive been told my whole life to keep pushing and something will happen, said Ramos. That was my first actual tryout so I felt like it was good to at least get my foot in the door, get my name out there.He returned home, playing for the local Spokane Shadow team, which featured several players from Whitworth. Away from the field, he worked in a grocery store and coached soccer, before enrolling in Whitworth for his final year of college eligibility.———Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter. ' ' '
