So my current team:

Laine - Hayes - Gallagher
? - Bjugstad - Ennis
?

Chara - Hamilton
Ristolainen - Bowmeester

Hellebuyck

Coached by Mr Barry Trotz.

Hopefully Trotz can institute one of his disgusting defensive structures to keep games close.

Give me Pavel Zacha. He's big and supposedly can skate and hit fairly well so even if he busts he'll still be a useful fourth liner I'm sure. And I need youth.

Zacha is gonna play a lot for the Devils this year because there's no one else to play is there. The interesting thing is where that TOI will come -- 3C or 2LW? He should see 2nd unit PP time.

He's been on my radar for a bit and figured this was the right place to take him. Didn't want to watch 46 or whatever picks go by in the meantime. My defense will just have to suffer. If Hickey had still been there I probably would've picked him.

I think you probably made a good choice, Ron Francis loves him:

quote:

Hurricanes' GM Ron Francis believes Aho has a good chance at making the opening night roster next season following his performance at the World Championships earlier this month. "I would think based on everything he's done, he's certainly penciled into our lineup, if not in pen," Francis said.

The problem is they need to keep teams to 0 goals so that they can win in the shootout sometimes.

This looks a like a strong crop of rookies this year: Matthews, Laine, Marner, Strome, Werenski, Provorov, Connor, Rantanen, Dvorak, Aho, Zacha, Buchnevich, Theodore, Nylander and some other dudes who haven't even been picked yet.

Hellebuyck missed it by like what 2 games? Murray is still a rookie I think technically.

It's a good year, but some of those guys probably aren't going to be full time NHLers. It's really tough to gauge how these guys are handled before the fact, if only because coaches and management teams don't always make decisions that favour the rookies. Like, Pulock not being an NHLer this year was really surprising.

No doubt, and there will be some guys who break in that we didn't expect too.

Just last year though we had: Panarin, Eichel, Domi, McDavid, Gostisbehere, Larkin, Duclair, Reinhart, Ehlers, Fabbri, Bennett, Donskoi, Parayko, Hanafin, Slavin and a few others who haven't been picked yet playing meaningful minutes.

Absolutely. There are a bunch of guys not on your original list who I think will play, and I'm sure a bunch more will have good training camps and come "out of nowhere" like Parayko, Donskoi, and Slavin did.

Motherfucker, now that I'm home I actually got to do some research and now I know who I should have taken with my last pick.

Fingers crossed I don't get hecked over.

EDIT: Nevermind, they weren't showing up in the search for whatever reason but have been taken. I should have figured so.
