I made something for everyone. It's shared so if you have this link you can change anything you want. I'm NOT going to update everyone's picks - maybe between all of us we can keep it up to date. Feel free to add columns but please don't gently caress it up too bad. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Amj_wGJYwFRYdEtqcm5pTXRlcmY5Mm1CRzE0NC1pVVE#gid=0

Is this a homer pick? Is it boring? Is it too predictable? Is his salary too high? All good questions. With the 10th pick, the Washington Capitals are proud to select Alex Ovechkin. Why? The other top players available just were not compelling enough to bypass one of the great players of our time. Alex Ovechkin brings a unique blend of speed, skill, power and marketability matched by none other than Sidney Crosby. He's rarely injured. He competes hard. He scores goals. He brings the crowd to its feet. He knocks the living poo poo out of defenders. He loves to win - and even though he has never been able to get to the Cup finals, he still has potential to go down as one of the top 5 players of all time. Anyone who says they do not want this player on their team is just being obtuse. It would be a crime for Alex Ovechkin to fall outside of the top 10. Even at almost $10million per year, he's a bargain.

It's definitely tough to have one player eat almost 15% of your salary cap, but Ovechkin makes so much money for the Washington Capitals it's ridiculous. As GM, my job is to make my owner happy. Ted is a happy fat man because of Ovie.

Austrian mook posted:Am I the only one who thinks Kopitar is really overrated? He's a great player but he never really stuns me the way other guys like Crosby and Stamkos and Tavares do when I watch him play. I'd name players I think are better than I'm but they all haven't been picked yet so.... He's underrated if anything. If you want to build your team around a top Center there are only about 10 of those legitimately in the league and he is one of them. Kopitar is very good defensively, good at faceoffs, a good penalty killer and very well liked by his teammates. $6.8 million for what he brings to the table isn't bad. Plus, he's only 25.

I put some automatic salary cap calculation stuff at the bottom of the first sheet of the Google Doc but there's no way I'm going to copy and alter that formula for everyone. I did the Jets, Stars and Capitals and then I gave up.

Paulocaust posted:Well good luck affording other players for your cup run with that 10 mil you've given to one player for the next decade Don't you worry about me. I have a plan. Edit: Letang is a great pick. He's among 4 or 5 I was hoping to see available when I pick. People may think he's one dimensional at first glance because he's smallish and good with the puck, but he's extremely strong and capable of anchoring a first defensive line for any team. I would so like to see him play for the Caps some day. Slappy Pappy fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Apr 13, 2013 |

Is it too early to start drafting phenoms? The Washington Capitals are pleased to select the most skilled player available - Jonathan Huberdeau. Alexander Ovechkin needs someone slick, quick and with great puckhandling skills to complement his bull-in-a-china shop offensive game. Huberdeau isn't Backstrom - but Ovechkin doesn't necessarily need Backstrom. With two weapons who can create offense on their own, opposing defenses will be challenged for years to come. Huberdeau and Ovechkin will anchor the powerplay and while they may spend time on the same line, they could also be separated to create difficult matchups. The fact Huberdeau comes with an affordable ELC means that we can avoid major cap trouble for the foreseeable future. There were three other players I strongly considered for this pick but based on Ovechkin's salary I felt I needed to hold off on overspending for a while and with the addition of Jonathan Huberdeau, the Washington Capitals will have two offensive forces who can dominate games. Also, I made this - Alexonathon Huberdeauvechkin:

I've got to run to a meeting so I can't opine. This was a tough decision and I really hope my next player is still available in 40 picks. I choose Alex Edler from the Nucks.

I was hoping Thornton's age and salary would leave him around for a few rounds but he was a great pick. I considered him instead of Huberdeau but with Ovie's salary I had to conserve.

I don't watch too many Vancouver games but I think I've seen enough of Edler to gauge his value. While he's not overly physical for his size, he does use his size to his advantage. For 6'3" he skates well, handles the puck well, passes and shoots well and he produces points consistently. He was an All-Star last year (which I know is pretty arbitrary) and he's only 26. At $5,000,000/year he seems like a pretty good deal. Seems like a legitimate top-pairing D. Considering he was the 18th D-man taken he seems like a good value. I had decided I needed to get a defender with this pick. What makes him a stretch?

Jeff Carter is a great value for a team wanting a goal-scoring center. He's comparable with Stamkos, and Tavares for that role so getting him in the 3rd round is pretty nice. He's more one-dimensional than those other guys but he's really good at that dimension.

Vigilance posted:I quite like the Vanek and Stepan picks. Vanek is nasty, and I think he'd really shine on a good team. Stepan is great, I'm super impressed with him every time I watch the Rangers. He thinks the game so well. I think he'll be a 70 point center in his prime. Stepan is on pace for 70 this year if it was a full season. Not to mention +18 (which of course is a meaningless stat don't make fun of me).
