The Nashville Perds will take Karl Alzner because he is a good defender who plays big minutes, but mostly because he has really rad facial hair.  Parise-Carter- Marchand-Scheifele- - - - - Alzner-Subban Fowler- -

Wondering when a certain young defenseman is taken. Real underrated, slipped just a little in his sophomore year but he is solid.

He's definitely a more viable partner for Subban than he would've been for Green.

Jack Johnson is worse than Tyler Myers, and Tyler Myers is not very good.

Also, even with two players eating up a combined nearly 17 million of my payroll, my cap situation isn't completely hosed, which actually even kinda suprises me because I thought it was going to be a nightmare when I made my first two picks. also, JMFJ is a terrible pick. your defense is real bad, sorry.

Jack Johnson actually had a decent season. He couldn't score to save his life early on but he put up points later and wasn't a complete tire fire in his own end (also decent in the playoffs). I still would not have picked him though, even if I needed D.

Jack Johnson is such a weird player. His fancy stats AND the eye test tell us that he's not very good, but he's always been played heavy minutes. He played close to 30 minutes a night in the playoffs series against Pittsburgh. To me, that's reason enough to not completely poo-poo the pick.

I thought he actually looked decent in the playoffs, especially considering that he put up a whopping 11 points through his first 44 games and was well on track to being an exceptionally rich laughingstock. e: On the subject of Johnsons, Erik was a good pick. Seems to have finally turned into a top pairing D. Also his possession stats are way better without a certain anchor Jan Hejda who has some utterly brutal wowy's (and usage).

hes perpetuating his own success by getting lots of minutes and nobody wants to be the guy to really call him out and put him as the 5th or 6th with some PP time so he just kinda.. eats up minutes to no success

Buffalo Sabres select D Calvin de Haan from the New York Islanders This is probably another controversial selection as de Haan was a first year player in 2013-14 and didn't get a lot of publicity. He started setting of the sirens and red lights on my spreadsheets a couple rounds ago, as a guy that stood out with amazing possession numbers - especially when you consider his age. Pretty much every player who spent any time with de Haan at all last season did significantly better with him than without, including his regular defensive partner Travis Hamonic. That being said 51 games isn't a huge sample size, but I took confidence from the trust that the Islanders placed in de Haan - especially at the end of the year when he was playing the top pairing minutes - and his formerly high draft position. I was looking for right wings and a goaltender, but I just wasn't too happy with any of the options right at this point in the draft. To me picking up a 22 year old defenseman who has shown the ability to play 1st pairing minutes is a strong bet at this point.

Not enough data to say either way. Other, more experienced defencemen are still available so I'm going to label it a bad pick.

Going with any of the middling rookies is gonna be a high-risk high-reward kind of move at this point, but I think you've got a solid chance that there will be some damned ancient vets when the snake swings back around that you can supplement with. De Haan - Braun though, yeesh. Your forward core is better suited to play defense at this point, which is distressing. I don't know what that team would look like.

Neal - Kopitar - UFA Saad - Staal - UFA Braun - Goligoski de Haan - UFA To be clear my plan was to use my first bunch of picks on young players to build a core, and then supplement it with veterans after that. Probably from this point on I'll be picking from the entire field, and I have no problem knocking some of my young players down the lineup. I'd also encourage you guys to do your research into de Haan's useage with the Islanders and the statistical results. There's a real argument he was the better half of his pairing with Hamonic. I think the results from the upcoming season will vindicate my decisions, as it did last year when several of my picks had massive breakout seasons

What up. I've got really spotty wifi and am pretty deep into my cups. I'll try for the next hour or so but I likely won't pick until morning. (realistically I'll Homer hard and regret it in the morning)

I'll effort post later, but he's big, good, left shot, has the second best face mole on the mapleleafs and is young. Probably a risk with all these young d-men, but I'm sure I can pick up some wiley vets in the later rounds to round it out. Hall - Krejci - ??? ??? - Henrique - ??? ??? - Smith - ??? Rielly - Hamilton Maatta - ??? ???? I'll grab a good young goaltender (which I almost did just now) and after grabbing a young RW I'll fill the lineup with older guys that have 2-4 years left in em to mentor the kids. E: Hmm, let's look at the good, you RWs still on the board... E2: I guess I can always just let Smith play on the right. We'll see.

Right but he is still raw in terms of not having reached his potential yet and being super young. Anything can happen with the development of a player from this stage. But yes, he is close to a sure bet to be very very good.
