This is a tough slot to pick in.
Lots of players generally around the same skill level so it's more of an age/contract choice.
Centers are the easiest to build around and the truly elite ones go first so I'll take MARK SCHEIFELE
It's not every PPG center that can do this, either

Scheifele was the other guy on my short list, I probably would have taken him if he was 22 like Barkov

January 23, 2018	Elbowing Marcus Johansson		5 games	$373,475.60
March 1, 2018		Diving/Embellishment (second citation)		$2,000.00
April 1, 2018		Cross-checking Andrew MacDonald			$5,000.00

First of all, the Avalanche would like to thank City Name Sports Team for being wonderful hosts.

Second, I'd like to thank random.org for giving me a very nice roll.

Third, we select, from Windsor, Ontario, Aaron Ekblad.



Aaron has been a stud since he first entered the leauge, winning the Calder for the 2014-15 season. He's already playing first line minutes at the age of 22, and he's only going to improve. His advanced stats aren't the best, but I'm willing to bet with a team that isn't constantly giving away top assests, they'll stabilize. In addition to his defensive prowess, he can also pitch in on offense. He'll never score at the level of Erik Karlsson or [redacted], but he's also younger than both. He's also locked into a long term deal, with a very reasonable cap hit, especially as the cap continues to increase.

I was super, super high on Ekblad when he first came into the league but then he got brained a bunch of times and he hasn't seemed to get his feet all the way back under him yet.

Correct. But Bill only took 184 last year. Out of all shooters with more than 7 goals he had the highest shooting percentage.

I love pretty much any Karlsson, but the pick is still a reach. Let's fight.

we here at the Tampa Bay Lightning welcome any and all body types to our team and our fanbase. this year, we would like to honor a certain sect of our fans by drafting a team in their image. there are many talented players on the board, elite scorers are still available... but we want none of them. what Tampa Bay wants, and knows its fans want too, is Big. Beautiful. Skaters. if you aren't thicc, you best let go of that stick. with our first two selections for Team Girthulessence, Tampa Bay is proud to choose Phil Kessel, The Robust Right Winger and Dustin "Tremendous" Byfuglien. weighing in at a deceptive 203 pounds, Phil looks the part of a Lord of Fatness even if he does not always play and skate like it. Dustin is known for a playing weight of around 265, and has repeatedly ballooned up to the 280s and even 300 pounds in the offseason. let's look to our defensive stalwart for some inspirational words:

"Every year it’s always the same stuff and somebody is always going to comment on something. For me, it’s my weight. I sit and smile at it. It doesn’t matter, as long as I’m able to move and go.”

that's the man I want leading, and captaining my team - "I don't care how fat I am, as long as I can move." team motto, boys
