Gimme Fedor Tyutin. Older and maybe fading a bit, but still serviceable. My vet quotient is definitely filled on the blueline though. I'm gonna try and put some time in on the spreadsheet when I get in front of a computer proper at some point tonight. Also I am going away for the weekend, does someone feel like letting me email them my secret recipe just in case my turn comes up?

I'm surprised he's still available: Mikkel Boedker. I expect he'll play a full season and get 50 points on my first line as the defensive presence, unless some rookie wows their way into that spot. Sucks that I'm passing up a center here, but I think he's probably the BPA. Leaves me with: Boedker - Tavares - Eberle Bailey - Silfverberg Methot - Klefbom EJohnson Lundqvist e: edited for bolding Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Aug 7, 2015 |

Since I missed out on one Brayden, St. Louis must go with another and take D Brayden McNabb. Sadly, "Buttcheckin'" Brayden McNabb didn't catch as a nickname. Brayden McNabb Pos: Defence Age: 24 Cap Hit: $650,000 through 2015-16 (RFA) The youth movement in St. Louis continues with the addition of McNabb. Last season was Brayden's first extended look at NHL action, and while he may not have reached the lofty expectations people had for him, he certainly played well. Spending a good deal of time on LA's second pairing thanks partly to Voynov's suspension, McNabb more or less showed how effective a two-way blueliner he could be. McNabb is a skilled puck mover with positive possession numbers that can fill in almost any role, including the power play and PK. The biggest concern is the fact that while he scored 24 points in 71 games, only 2 of those were goals. McNabb's shooting percentage was a lousy 2.7%. If McNabb want to establish himself as an offensive threat and potential first pairing defenceman someday, that number will need to go up. That said, he's still only 24 and should have plenty of time to develop his game. I GOT THEM St. LOUIS BUTTCHECKIN' BLUES C. Kreider - M. Koivu - G. Nyquist __________ - C. McDavid - A. Burakovsky M. Vlasic - K. Shattenkirk B. McNabb - ____________ S. Mason lazerwolf can pick next. Infidel Castro fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Aug 7, 2015 |

I never ended up doing a write-up for Giroux? Whoops. Claude Giroux, C, 27, $8-something-million-honestly-the-little-numbers-after-the-eight-probably-don't-matter for the rest of the decade Why did I pick Claude Giroux?  He remains one of the most and consistently productive forwards, let alone centers, of the decade despite a down year in 2014-15. And down years are no reason to panic. You just have to be patient with these things.  More a playmaker than a goalscorer, but man can he score goals with those sweet...  ...sweet...  ...delicious....  ...hands.  His fancy stats may not look too impressive when viewed in comparison to the rest of the league, but that's at least partially the fault of all the blue line poo poo that he's been forced to step on the ice with over the last few years. He's just 27, and provides me with a gamebreaking number one center whom opposing teams can't ignore for years to come. Claude Grrrroux

Now the picks while I was away: Matt Niskanen, 28, D, $5.75m through 2021  <fart> Not a flashy player, Niskanen is a solid two-way defenseman who is strong his own end and can move the puck up the ice quickly with his passing ability. He's an easy top pairing D on most teams in the league, and though you probably wouldn't want him to be your no. 1, his ability to drive possession was a strong contributor to noted boat anchor Karl Alzner's career season. He's young enough and plays the type of game that he's unlikely to lose much if any efficacy over the length of his contract, and the cap hit is reasonable for what he brings. Lining up behind Barrie, he'll provide a steadying and competent defensive presence while maintaining an offensive threat on the second pairing.

And in this corner, standing five feet eleven inches tall, and weighing in at 198 lbs, it's number fourteen, the Cathorse, the Feline Equine, the Czech who demands respec', Tomas Plekanec, 32, C, $5m this season then UFA. Plekanec may be getting up there in years, but he's still an effective two-way center, as he showed once again this year by putting up 60 points while routinely playing a shutdown role against the opposition's best lines. Stamkos? Ovechkin? Crosby? Kessel? Motherfuckin' Plekanec.  He's UFA after this season, whatever, we'll resign him. Currently, Plekanec is pretty much the Canadiens' best center - IMO. And, sure, that may say less about Plekanec than it does the Canadiens, but in Washington, he'll be objectively third behind Giroux and Couture, giving me what I think is a pretty strong trio down the middle. With Couture and Plex both being centers who can neutralize the best opposing teams have to offer or capitalize on weak competition, Giroux's line will no doubt be able to find openings to do a lot of damage.

 Ryan Callahan, 30, C, $5.8m through 2021 Not pretty - that describes Ryan Callahan's game and face, the two of which abandon all pretenses of finesse or structure in favor of an all-out assault on the senses. Not unsurprisingly, this led to a lot of injuries - though largely in the days of Tortorella's insistence that all players play goalie at all times. When healthy, however, his shot, tenacity, and other intangible qualities that only a mother could love combine to make him a near lock for ~25 goals and 50+ points. Responsible and relentless in all three zones, his game should be a good complement to Giroux's finesse playmaking ability, and on his wing is where he'll likely line up.

And to date last, but certainly not least,  (Don't let those sad baby eyes fool you - Draco Malfoy over there will undress you and leave you with a pair of broken ankles before you can reflexively loosen your bowels) Teuvo, or as I like to call him, "Little G," has in my view the potential to become a Claude Giroux-level player. He's explosive, has a terrific shot, beautiful hands and just seems to be dangerous whenever he's on the ice. He's been playing in Liiga against grown rear end dudes since he was 17, and led his team in scoring last year as a 19 year old with a nearly PPG pace - no easy feat. Q seemed reticent to use him when first called up this season, and when he did use him didn't do so optimally. But when he was finally managed properly in the playoffs, he responded by scoring some big goals and putting up respectable numbers. And he's going to be barely 21 when next season starts. He needs to work on the defensive side of his game, sure, but he's got upside like mad. In an ideal world, I'd entertain the idea of him stepping into Plex's role within the next few years as the old man gets older, but whether he ends up playing center or not, he's got a whole lot of good ones to learn from in Washington in the meantime.  Whew, now that that's all out of the way, here's what my team theoretically looks like: * - Giroux - Callahan Toffoli - Couture - * Teuvo - Plekanec - * Barrie - * Niskanen - * <goalie>

Well Florida needs a forward to round out their top 6, I'll take RW/LW Alexander Killorn Killorn has scored at a .5 ppg pace for his first two and a half seasons in the league fairly consistently, then he bumped the production up in the playoffs this year and had a great run with Tampa Bay. Killorn is a guy who plays surprisingly large minutes for Tampa Bay at even strength and on the power play. Seems like a team could expect around 20 goals a year from him and good two way play given his decent underlying numbers. I also like his age and the fact he will be a RFA after the expiration of his contract at the end of this season. Ladd - Seguin - Killorn Niederreiter - Scheifele - Coyle Josi - Hamonic xxxx - Dillon **Drunk Canuck is up next in the draft Starsfan fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Aug 7, 2015 |

I need a veteran dman to give me some stability in the top 4. Ergo, I will take Jeff Petry. He's not top pairing material but he's a serviceable second pair guy I think.

MacArthur plays to the abilities of his linemates. He's not going to create a ton of offense but he's very smart and one of the best cycling players in the league. Unfortunately his linemates on Technetium's team are small children so I don't know how that would work out.

CMac is a good player but he's not top line material and there are better forwards on the board both from an overall and a youth perspective. Certainly not a bad pick, though.

Man if you say so, cmac is pretty good and has been playing on Ottawa's top line pretty well. He's more of an intangible veteran presence and I don't know if Jaden had played top line minutes yet.
