hey do you want me to just take over for Joel Joel here for the Dallas Stars? Atleast until he gets back active in the thread? I hate to see my team just sit there, and it seems like it's the only team not being looked after right now.

We should just consensus pick him, the problem with multiple team drafters is they can help one of the teams at the expense of the other. It also sucks that a couple teams missed the boat because now it looks like Getzlaf went second overall when he didn't.

I don't think it would be very easy to help one team at the expense of the other. There aren't any trades in this draft, and even if there were it's easy enough to just say "no trades between teams owned by the same person".

Yeah, I'm not sure how you could sabotage one team to help another, and if it's obvious people would probably call you, or whoever takes over, out on it. e: I think he went on vacation about a week ago, he might be back in thread in a day or two.

I have his list from yesterday, but that was for his first round pick. His lower dudes are still available but I don't know if his thoughts on who he wants may have changed since then based on other guys falling a bit. Not sure if I should make his pick for him in that case If other people in the past have done it that way where multiple rounds have been picked based off a list like that then I'd be ok doing it

Not sure if I should make his pick for him in that case I would probably pick for him based on his previous list. My next pick is real hard between a forward and a center -- I feel like the defenseman is too good to pass up, but that the center is probably the last elite center left under 30 and that offense is harder to come by.

I'd probably agree with this, just go to his list and take his top-rated forward, which will probably help me make my decision anyway, since he's probably the highest-rated forward for a decent amount of people.

it makes sense to me too, because his #2 guy was a forward and he took OEL round one. Since other people approve i'll go ahead with it Vjeff's list will make your decision easier as he takes Nicklas Backstrom unfortunately he specified that it was the caps' one or else I could've tried to justify it as being the minnesota goalie version

This shouldn't have been a consideration but someone will probably brain him again soon enough.  So Taytay... There were a handful of young centers left I liked, and tons and tons of defensemen, but when it comes to players who are capable of putting up a PPG and are under 25, well... there's not many of those to pick from. Hall is definitely not a sturdy player, or a particularly bright person, but when you see him on the ice it's hard to think that matters. Surprisingly adept in the corners for a skill guy (who regular gets his head knocked), he's a rare talent on the ice who - if he can put it together and stay healthy - has a long, bright future ahead of him. (Unfortunately in real life he's on the Oilers)

That's my bad on mentioning the list, I just remembered he used one for the pick before. Backstrom is probably the best forward left, I doubt he'll have any issue taking him if he doesn't say anything in the mean time. I think since his name was mentioned with the pick he should probably just get Backstrom. I was definitely going to take Backstrom if he was available at my pick, but now it would just be weird.

The New Jersey Devils, with their 2nd round pick, are excited to select Ryan McDonagh. McDonagh has been a stalwart for the Rangers for a while now -- he's one of the very best one-on-one defensemen in the NHL, has deceptive quickness, and his offensive game has been getting better and better. He's 26 years old, plays tons of minutes, and is one of the most exceptional two-way defensemen in the league and his cap hit is a steal at $4.7m for another four years. He'd be a wonderful No. 1 on almost every team, but he forms an incredible young duo with Hedman. Not sure if I would play him on his off-side with Hedman to have a game-controlling first pairing or have him anchor the second pairing so forwards would be stifled a little bit for almost the entire game. It's a good problem to have. Now, I get to pick some forwards next. I wonder if any proven scorer will make their way back down to me next round...

Sorry, just woke up. My sleep schedule is fuuuuu-hucked right now. To remove all shadow of a doubt, Red Wings select C - Nicklas Backstrom because cool and good and Swedish. Write-ups for Larsson and Backstrom will come soon. Oh, yes, they will come. And you will rue the day!

Honestly, I think Hedman is better than Pietrangelo right now. They're comparable, but Heddy is the better skater and he's younger and holy poo poo his playoffs this year. I think Subban is way more game-breaking offensively, but Hedman is probably better defensively. I think Subban is the only defenseman who challenges him, but both Hedman and McD are phenomenal defensively. Anyway, what I'm saying is, I have the best pair of defensemen in the league, and hopefully I can have some fast balanced offense.

I just realized, I ended up with both OEL and Backstrom last season, this is the second time in a row they're on the same team. Though I picked Backstrom with my first round pick and OEL with my second.

Pietrangelo didn't have a great season but Hedman was surprisingly sheltered in the regular season and his 5v5 scoring still went down slightly, as opposed to previous seasons where he scored at ridiculous rates playing touh minutes with crappy partners.

That's interesting -- I did notice he's better defensively now though. He used to get beaten in the crease a lot and it was his biggest weakness, and he's cut that out almost completely, and he's using his size more. And his skating is better than it's ever been. Dude is still just 23, in terms of raw tools, he's loving ridiculous.
