Ginette Reno posted:He's been on my radar for a while. I figured this might be my last chance to get him You are probably correct. Hoffman is just such a great offensive player. He's got the pedigree at lower levels and his scoring numbers (/60 stats) in the NHL are very impressive. I had a shortlist of 3, and he was one of them. I am really unsure of where guys are going to be taken this time around. Thus my reach on Klefbom. I think I'm just going to take the guys I want the most even if they're a bit of a stretch.

Jordan7hm posted:You are probably correct. There was almost another good young player I took over him that is comparable. Hoffman is more of a proven scorer than the other guy I had in mind though. I feel like Hoffman isn't one of those random one and done young players either. His shot is absurdly good.

I feel like I need a goalie at this point so I'm going to go with a guy who seems pretty good with a .918 posted so far in the regular season and a .921 in the post season. I take Ben Bishop.

Florida Panthers select RW Nino Niederreiter Niederreiter has really turned his career around the last couple years in Minnesota, although to be honest his career had hardly got a chance to get going on the Island before he was traded away for scraps. Niederreiter plays in a secondary role for the Wild, playing on a line with a couple of other younger players that play the tough minutes and do a lot of the heavy lifting behind the big money players on the first two lines. I think the things that drew me to Niederreiter was that he has really impressive fancy stats as a guy who contributes to pushing the game with possession, and his former status as a top offensive talent. I'll bet on a breakout season with increased opportunities for offensive zone minutes and take him here.

Minnesota Wild take Minnesota's own Ryan Kesler. Kesler provides good 2C depth, gives us a lockdown 2C with a bit of offensive upside. Your Minnesota Wild Benn - Krejci - Okposo Parise - Kesler - Suter -

Hide 'ya loving goalies everyone, because St. Louis selects... Chris Kreider Pos: Left Wing Age: 23 Cap Hit: $2,475,000 for 2015-16 (RFA) The number of young scoring wingers was dwindling pretty fast there, so I'm quite excited that someone like Kreider made it this far down. While he may on occasion wreck the opposing goalie's poo poo, there's no denying he's an incredibly gifted power forward who is as equally effective shooting the puck as he is in front of the net. He's a fairly unique combination of size and strength that should play well with Koivu/McDavid and Nyquist. St. Louis Blues C. Kreider - M. Koivu - G. Nyquist ?????????? - C. McDavid - ????????? M. Vlasic - K. Shattenkirk Jordan7hm is on the clock. Infidel Castro fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Aug 3, 2015 |

The Ottawa Senators select Jakob Silfverberg. Silf is one of my favorite players, and I am incredibly pained by the fact real Senators traded him away for an out of shape albatross. Worst offseason in Sens history. He was kind of messed up by injuries in 2013-14, but he started to redeem himself in that playoff run, and then even more through this past season. His 2014-15 playoffs were a bit of a coming out party. He combines fantastic defense (due to positioning and vision more than physical attributes) with a decent scoring ability. He's future captain material, and I truly believe he'll be one of the few non-centers to win a Selke at some point during his career. In real life he seems pretty well set to line up on a second line that's designed to shut down the opposition's top line, and that's where he'll sit on my team too.  Tavares - Eberle Silf Johnson - Klefbom Lundqvist e: JoelJoel is up

Karl Alzner. I want steady. I want dependable. I don't need a 70 point blueliner (or maybe there just aren't any left), I need someone I can trust in front of the net who can make a sufficiently acceptable outlet. So far as I can tell, Karl and Marc satisfy these, and have no small amount of sandpaper. He has a lot of years left, and might even improve yet a little. MACHO MAN, what you got.

Hi guys - I'm alive (no thanks to you)! On a family camping trip to the mountainns and my phone internet cut out on the drive up on Saturday literally in the middle of trying to post my pick. Boooo. Now I'm out in town picking up cold medicine for one of my kids and I have a brief window, so I'll have one in a few minutes I guess. After that I probably won't have access again till Wednesday afternoon, so if I come up again, just consensus me someone who isn't John Scott.

Niskanen's a good pick. I didn't think he would drop all the way back to me but there was no chance I wouldn't take him if he did. His contract may be long but he's almost worth it. He could be a weak #1 for plenty of teams.
