The California Golden Seals are going to take Connor Bedard

I admit this is somewhat of a risk. He's never played an NHL game. But there's two reasons I want to go here:

1) He's 18 and has superstar talent, so I'll have him for a very long time

2) With this rule of taking one player per team, Chicago has very few players worth taking. So if I don't take a Hawk now, I'm probably not taking one until the very end. So getting a high value Hawk pick seems good.


I'm not afraid of this one blowing up in my face because if he does somehow bust I get to laugh at the Hawks getting a healthy dose of karma and I am ok with that

Bedard at #2 is obviously somewhat of a risk but I don't think it's too crazy if you're building a young core and with the 1 player per team limit.

Wow, Toronto erasure already?

Since you said I was picking third, the Toronto Arenas will select Nathan MacKinnon. The cornerstone of a Cup-winning franchise is a team leader who can inspire his linemates to eat a healthy diet and engage in at least 150 minutes of moderately intense cardiovascular exercise and 2 days of strength training per week.

Ok, so here is what we are going to do.

We all know general managers are all terrible and really only succeed by random luck.

So let’s put this to the test.

Every pick I will randomly generate a number 1-32. That is the team I pick from in alphabetical order (as teams are taken I re roll if it comes up with a prior team).

I will then also flip a coin.
Heads: I take the BEST player I feel is on the team
Tails: I take the WORST player I feel is on the team

It is only through random chance that most NHL teams succeed, and therefore this should be the best way to determine a team.








Team 27: Tampa
Coin flip: Heads


The Blues select: Kucherov

Oh, hmm, 1 pick per team, that adds a wrinkle...

drat 2 hour timer? I thought it said 12 lol.

Aight, I dunno, I guess I'll take more of a long-term approach...

Nah, gently caress it, probably the last time I'll get to draft him in some capacity before he's well past his prime.

I had him typed up as my pick and went post>cancel three times before switching to Sid. Def a poor choice on my part for anything beyond a one-season simulation (and still borderline even then).

Edit: Oh, if ever it's my turn and someone's in the SAS NHL discord can I get a mention (@kalensc) please? I can @ the two folks after my own picks if they let me know their discord nick. Merci!

I think Furnace is skipped, in which case the Quebec Bulldogs select Jason Robertson, who seems pretty good.

Yeah honestly Hughes/Makar/Fox/Pastrnak (and one or two other players) were the other guys I was considering but you guys made the choice for me

Robertson seems pretty great too

WeaponX will get skipped at 9:48 EST.

Im here kinda sorta. Im on holidays and out so my picks are going to be really sporadic so dont be afraid to skip me.

Going to take a chance on Tage Thompson staying healthy and ridiculously skilled for his size as well as Clayton Keller on the assumption that getting out of Arizona and playing with actual NHL players will benefit him.

e: Can someone update the spreadsheet for me, having trouble doing it on my phone.

Actually, it occurs to me that if we're sticking with the IRL cap, we might have to actually pay attention to cap numbers while compressing the league in half.

That's a good point. Half the teams meeting that cap will be tricky but one player from each team might help even it out a little
