If Tavares had been picked, you would have seen Toews go to me at 4. I like Toews a lot, I think he is a good pick. Kopitar also is good for the auto draft team. I don't like seeing all these centers go. I was hoping to get one on the way back around. Please start picking overrated goalies like Carey Price.

yeah Toews' contract is scary but I think it's pretty easy in this to not reach the cap so I figured he was good value there. But it was still a really tough decision cuz I had multiple guys who I'd also gladly have taken still available there. I picked 2 and a half hours ago so I think mentholmoose could also pick now to keep this going

Alright, I need to right a past wrong with this pick. Back in 2007, the Flyers were coming off a season where they were obviously the worst team in the NHL, and were set to pick 1st overall in the 2007 Entry Draft... until the Chicago Blackhawks won the lottery and stole the first overall draft pick away. So, I have the opportunity to get him back, I have to take it. The Flyers take Patrick Kane. Paulocaust is up next. Also Stickarts, JoelJoel, and Furnaceface.

So is it my turn or are we waiting for the 2 absentees? e: oh paulocost, right, gonna be phone postin and add the writeup when i get home after he picks then. e2: Nope its my turn. With their first pick, the Blackhawks of Chicago decide to disrespect the league to the maximum by taking Pernell Karl Subban. Writeup to follow in about 2 hours. Paulocost is up next.

I'm having issues deciding my next pick, I'm mulling it over between two franchise centers (probably the only two left on the board under 30) and two frachise defensemen (both very young).

Man, this is a really tough call. I'm deciding whether or not to go defenseman-forward or forward-defenseman. OK, I'm gonna take a defenseman. It was tough between this guy and one other, but... The New Jersey Devils select Victor Hedman of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Hedman is due a cap hit of $4m the next two years, his age 24-25 seasons, and then will be due for a monster extension, but I'm OK with that. He has made incredible progress and, to me, he's the best all-around defenseman in the conference moving forward. I haven't seen a defenseman play a playoff like he did this past year since Pronger, and he was taking over games in the regular season as well. An incredible skater and transition passer, he's gonna get the puck up to the forwards real fast and contribute in all situations and anchor the first pairing. VJeff/Red Wings, you're up.

Vjeff's #1 dude still remains so he takes Oliver Ekman-Larsson I'm sure he can give a more detailed and enjoyable write-up later Good Soldier Svejk is up

Larsson was my third defenseman on the board. Great contract, great pick.
|
# ? Jul 26, 2015 22:51 |
The Penguins are proud to select, ah gently caress... Let's have Alex Pietrangelo because he's good and young-ish and probably has 10 more years of the same left in him. Everyone has a hard-on for him and he's kind of underrated all the same. Plus other NHLers love him too so that's something.

Oops I see Good Soldier Svejk has edited his REAL pick in so I guess I'm on the clock. With the 25th overall selection the Arizona(?) Coyotes select Jack Eichel. Even though he will likely always play within the shadow of Connor McDavid, we believe Eichel will still become a generational talent in the NHL. We wanted a young, elite center and we think we got that today. El Gallinero Gros is up. tofes fucked around with this message at 00:12 on Jul 27, 2015 |

OK the late writeup: P.K. Subban What can we say about Subban? Well lets start with the obvious. He is a top tier defenseman with a monster shot and great speed that is able to maintain big minutes at a top level of play in both league and international play. This level of play was demonstrated in 2013 when won his first Norris trophy at age 24. He is known for being a risk taker, which often gets him labelled for not playing the Subban's hips, they dont lie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjsbIwMQEbA Furnaceface fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Jul 27, 2015 |

tofes posted:Subban would have been my number 1 pick if he had still been on the board. Im kind of surprised he fell to 19 to be honest. I had a short list of 5 players with him at number 1, yet all 4 below him went first (Seguin/Benn/Giroux/Toews). Should think tank just make his pick? Its been 3 hours since you made your pick.

I told El Gallinero Gros it would probably be monday before his pick came up so I'm inclined to just wait until tomorrow.

Aw jeez y'all, I'm sorry. I was camping out of service area from Friday afternoon till pretty much just now. I read the OP like three times before that looking for a start time but I poo poo the bed real bad it looks like instead. I don't have the time to catch up tonight so just keep whatever auto pick algorithm you got going for me (?)/waive my two hour period till when (if) I manage to make a go of this. Sorry for being a deadbeat with a life outside this hockey forum, y'all. I will do my level best to correct that.
