Have you seen Steve Stamkos?

For those not in the know, "Seen Stamkos" is the clever marketing campaign from the Tampa Bay Lightning, focusing on likely No. 1 draft pick Steve Stamkos from the Sarnia Sting. Stamkos, a gifted scorer who put up 105 points in 61 games for Sarnia last season, is widely regarded as the finest talent in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and will almost certainly be chosen first overall by the Lightning tonight.

The NHL 2008 Entry Draft takes place in Ottawa's Corel Center this evening. Tampa Bay will choose first overall, followed by the Los Angeles Kings. Atlanta will choose third, St. Louis fourth, the New York Islanders fifth, Columbus Blue Jackets sixth, Toronto Maple Leafs seventh, Phoenix Coyotes eight, Nashville ninth and the Vancouver Canucks at 10.
