Basically and maybe I'm giving my strategy away but it's probably pretty obvious - I think taking these great young players on ELCs/second contracts will allow me to take some of the better veterans with questionable contracts as this goes on. If I was just doing BPA I would have probably taken Kovalchuk (can't believe he fell as far as he did) over Seguin, and three or four guys who are probably about to be picked over RNH. This might gently caress me over because while not every team is a cap team in the NHL, every team in this draft will be, so maybe I won't be able to pounce on the Bryzgalovbutgoods of the world and end up with a Tambellini special. But the hope is I'll have a more balanced team than other managers who are taking in 15m+ with their first two picks. At any rate I'm pretty sure I'll have the most cap space after these first two rounds. T-Bone fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Apr 13, 2013 |

It says it at the bottom of the spreadsheet, but you can use http://capgeek.com/ too e: And yeah I don't think I completely settled with Seguin/RNH. I think they will both turn into elite players which at least gives me hope for the future -- but hopefully I can still manage to surround them with some good veteran talent because of my favorable cap situation. We'll see.

He's gonna go soon. I thought about him at my pick but RNH seems like more of a sure thing.

eXXon posted:But there are 30 teams drafting and they can all spend to the cap. Total NHL cap hits are not nearly 70 million x 30 teams because at least 10 teams spend way under the cap. Expensive but good vets won't last 10 rounds because there will be 10 other teams waiting to pounce after 4 or 5. I can make a Travis Zajac joke right now can't I? That couldn't possibly be construed as tampering.

it is going to be weird when the Florida Panthers are a dynasty in 2016, very weird indeed e: Seguin/RNH aren't Crosby/Malkin, but they could be Toews/Kane. T-Bone fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Apr 13, 2013 |

Vigilance is around too, so we should get at least another 3 in tonight. Haibbi is the Kings GM and he got consensused in the first round so that may finish it for tonight.

Everyone says he's a massive rear end in a top hat off the ice but I love the rear end in a top hat he is on the ice and the liberties he takes on any player within arm range. He and Patty Kane will make for another interesting locker room. Spamtron7000 and the Caps be on the clock. Does Ovi need a Backstrom-like to thrive?!

Was thinking Huey might fall back down to me. He's really fun to watch and does something every game that is worth the price of admission (which in Florida is about five dollars but STILL). He and Ovi would be an interesting pairing. That's kind of a Semin-Ovi thing. Drunk Canuck and the Wild on the clock.

Lundqvist/Chara and E.Staal/Kovalchuk are still my favorite duos, but I also like Backstrom/OEL and Malkin/McDonagh quite a bit. Duchene/Doughty is underrated. Don't agree with the folks hating on that.

Loui Eriksson is another really solid pick. I had he and Ryan near the top of my board this round. e: Malkin/McDonagh/Eriksson is a sick core. Nicely done.

It's incredible how long Zetterberg lasted, long contract or not. I was starting to harbor secret hopes that he'd fall to me. e: And stab's pick should be pretty loving easy I think.

I don't think that's a bad pick at all. He may not be a PPG guy, but he's going to be a really good player for a lot of years.

Lundqvist/Chara/MSL and he'll probably get a pretty decent center with his next pick. Tough team to beat in the short run.

I had both of those guys going in the 3rd or early 4th so I like the picks, I'm just not sure I would have taken either of them. They're both so...boring.

 *smiles* *smiles wider* *grimaces* With the 80th overall pick, the Florida Panthers are proud to select, out of Baden bei Wein, Austria Thomas Vanek. We feel that with two excellent young centers already in the fold, this player is the perfect fit for our franchise. Thomas, Ryan and, Tyler should form a deadly powerplay in South Florida. There will be no picture because no one is bigger than the team. T-Bone fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Apr 16, 2013 |

Yes, the contract is a quite a bit, but I didn't take on much salary in the first two rounds, and there simply aren't many other players on the board that can do what Vanek does (actually I count just one, and I prefer Vanek over him).

I'm here to put asses in the seats. Seguin, RNH, and Vanek are worth your Floridian's ten dollars (literally ten dollars, that's what we charge for admission).

Stepan was in the group of guys I was considering. He and Benn are an interesting pairing. Stepan is enjoying a lot of success with Nash who does a lot of the things that Benn does.

There are some wingers I like better than Stepan/M.Richards still on the board, but if I was in a position to absolutely have to draft a center they're solid picks. There's maybe one center I for sure like better than both of them, and I suspect he'll go extremely soon.

Gaborik was my #2 or 3 if Vanek got picked. One of the last (if not the last) elite goal scorers on the board.

He was better last year, but one of the main knocks against Carter in Philly was his disappearing act in April. e: Also technically we're drafting for the start of a hypothetical full season in 12-13 so a lot of those ages on the spreadsheet are a year off.

You guys will probably disagree with me when he's picked -- but I think he brings a little more to the table than the rest of these centers (although it's close enough that it's really team build/personal taste).

Chairman Wao posted:Well someone sited hockeydb as a source for position, and it along with numerous other sites have him listed as a center. Someone earlier took Benn as a winger, and he's a center, so y'know. Well I mean, you can play him wherever you want. But part of this is us saying hey your team might suck cause Skinner is better on the wing than in the middle. e: Verviticus is up, and yeah it's only 8:40 am PST. Give the man some time he said he'd be back to make the pick today.
