In a effort to

a) be as young and cheap as possible while still being relatively "win now"
b) fulfill my homer lust by getting one of the two good players on my favorite team
c) piss off VJeff

The San Jose Sharks Sharks Sharks are pleased to make a bit of a reach, and await one of the few players we are hopeful will fall past the turn, to select Dylan Larkin


suck it

Larkin was my last resort choice if MacKinnon had been taken

In need of a number 1 centre, as well as a veteran presence in the locker room, the Edmonton Oilers take Jumbo Joe Thornton

37 years young, but a hall of famer and still one of the best in the game when it comes to playmaking and possession.

I remember getting Jumbo in the 3rd or 4th round last year, he's still awesome

You were going to take him, weren't you? I figured with you having two picks in a row between mine and then having to wait another 52, if I didn't take him there, I wasn't getting him

I wasn't planning on it, but if he'd been available at my turn and I'd thought of him, I honestly might have. But if the guy I want gets past i am the bird, I'll be happy anyway.

Okay.

C - Tyler Toffoli because he's a possession monster and RW - Blake Wheeler because he's a very good 1st line winger that puts up lots of assists.

Wait, what do you mean there's a skater besides the forwards? :confused:

Might be a bit under the radar but Philadelphia is happy to select Centre and Pennsylvania native (even if it is the wrong side) Vincent Trocheck.



Vincent Trocheck
Position: Centre
Age: 22
Contract: $4,750,000/yr through 2021-22
Although he's somewhat undersized, he's a fantastic two-way centre that's only 22 years old. At a cap hit of only $4.75m for the next six years, he's an absolute bargain too.

Dandy Kaiser's up again.

But there are some great possession and counting stat players in their late 20s/early 30s still around (except Jumbo Joe for some reason).

There's a lot of extremely good players on extremely expensive contracts, and I think that's what is turning people off from drafting them.

Yeah, Draisaitl could've gone lower but I liked the dumb symmetry with McDavid and it wasn't too wild of a pick.

My third and fourth lines will have higher cap hits than my first and second, and it will be glorious.

2 hours have passed, so I can pick, I guess.

Muzzin getting taking put me in a pickle, so the Edmonton Oilers are gonna round out their top 2 Dmen and take Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Lots of great defensemen have a great #2 alongside them. Shea Weber had Ryan Suter, Doughty has Jake Muzzin. Vlasic is an extremely underrated defender and will work great alongside Karlsson.

I considered going heavily off the board and taking a different defender but I feel Vlasic is an overall more complete player compared to this one.

EDIT: Both JoelJoel and Dandy Kaiser can pick

do we still have the rule that if you pick a player that's already been chosen you get to repick but the next person up gets to pick immediately? i think that was a good rule
