I will take Brett Pesce because I don't think there are really any more young RH possession positive defenseman left and bonus he's a college guy so the dream is still kinda alive but not really Jaskin-Crosby-Nyquist Kreider-Larkin-Sharp Zucker-Nelson-Brown xxx-Shore-xxx McDonagh-Martinez Pouliot-Garrison xxx-Pesce

Gimme Sven Baertschi. It's absolutely a Canucks homer pick and he doesn't have stellar possession numbers, but he's still young, LW feels slim pickings at the moment, and I'm desperate for some people capable of scoring goals.

I was going to take sven over other players I think are better for the sake of being team svengeance so thank you for saving me from that. I like the pick

Gimme David backes. He'll tear up the third liners he'll play against and be good for like at least half of that contract.

i'll take Clarke MacArthur Last season was lost for him because he got concussed early on and by the time he was ready to play Ottawa was basically done. But it seems like he's recovered well and most Ottawa fans I see are fairly confident he'll get back into the lineup to start the year and are penciling him into their top 6. hey, it's pick #427 so you're basically stuck with mediocre old guys and questionable prospects at this point so I'd rather take the guy who has really good fancies year in and year out and bank on him being healthy enough to put in 60 games of really good play. He'll be on my third line so I can absorb a potential re-hot braining and not have my offense fall apart. I figure I can move Anders Lee to RW because he mostly plays in front of the net anyway and probably wouldn't be affected much by playing on his off wing and have MacArthur play on his natural side. that leaves the current squad at something like Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers Cammalleri - Brassard - Kucherov MacArthur - Ribiero - Lee Komarov Streit - Tanev Petry Pulock Halak the defense is obviously a bit light but I feel like Tanev and Petry are both very reliable in their own zone and Streit can still move the puck well if nothing else. They'll be helped by having three offensive lines that are both really good on the fancies front and at actually scoring, so they basically have to just play soundly in their own end and get the puck into the neutral zone. At least in theory. And Halak is Halak, he won't win a Vezina anytime soon but he's been slightly above average for essentially his whole career so I feel comfortable with him. Although I'd like to get another goalie who could potentially play 30+ games with Halak's injury history.

I select LW Phil di Giuseppe, his 5v5 production this past season was very promising and so were his possession numbers

Medvedev already hosed off to the KHL, and considering the DUI waiting for him in Philly I doubt he's coming back any time soon. I'll take Peter Laviolette because his coaching style gels well with my all offense team.

 I will take Nikita Zadorov. He was up and down on the Avs last season but he's young, cheap, and played a pretty decent season before that on an abysmal Buffalo team. If he sucks, just as well. Gonna need some Vegas fodder so he's really got nowhere to go but up. Rieder - Monahan - Tarasenko Nash - Staal - Pominville Wilson - Soderberg- Roussel X - X - X Maatta - Jones De Haan - Parayko Zadorov - X Flyinglemur is on the clock until 7:30 EDT

Technically his rights aren't held by a team so he's not eligible to be picked therefore pick again but only if I don't want the guy you pick

Sbisa I feel like I should have done more homework on that pick so to be fair to everyone I will make the replacement bad, but not Luca Sbisa bad. Dennis Wideman come on down?

Hrm, the Wideman is apparently incapable of shot suppression but he's still a good offensive player. I have a strong feeling he will find himself as the recipient of an absurd amount of penalties and uncalled elbows in the coming season, though.

obviously i'm gonna be pretty happy with my team since i drafted it but Mike Hoffman-Matt Duchene-Anthony Duclair David Perron-Martin Hanzal-Michael Frolik Phil di Giuseppe-Mikael Backlund-Sven Andrighetto Victor Hedman-Damon Severson Hampus Lindholm-Josh Manson Jake McCabe-x James Reimer i have great puck moving D and a bunch of players who dominate possession and I'm comfortable putting out all 3 of those lines as scoring units Otis Reddit is still being skipped and has three picks to make whenever he's back. The RECAPITATOR can also pick whenever, but got skipped at 9:31. ThinkTank is up, followed by Paulocaust and stab

I like your D but your entire top line was below 50% CF% last season despite getting 55-60% o-zone starts and Duchene is particularly dreadful in that regard.

Duchene's linemates had a 43% (!!!) corsi, Duclair's a 45%, and Hoffman's were at 47%. it is really hard to be over 50% corsi on bad teams with bad players. all 3 of them have big positive impacts relative to their team when on the ice at 5v5 with Duke on the ice: the Coyotes get 5.78 more shots per 60 and give up 3.38 less per 60 with Duchene on the ice: the Avalanche get 7.46 more shots per 60 and give up 3.64 more per 60 with Hoffman on the ice: the Senators get 4.14 more shots per 60 and give up 1.50 less per 60 they also had big impacts in goals for/goals against when on the ice at 5v5 with Duke on the ice: 1.56 more goals for per 60, 0.29 less allowed per 60 with Duchene on the ice: 0.73 more goals for per 60, 0.24 more goals allowed per 60 with Hoffman on the ice: 0.79 more goals for per 60, 0.25 more allowed per 60 yeah they're getting favorable zone starts, but they're on scoring lines on bad teams so that's the way it goes. they're facing hard competition with bad help so the nice zone starts aren't going to be as big as you would think. let's look at how their shifts finish: Duke had 39.77% offensive zone starts, and 38.62% offensive zone finishes which is pretty impressive for a team as outclassed as the yotes Duchene had 36.13% offensive zone starts, and 37.70% offensive zone finishes which is loving incredible for how bad the avs were Hoffman had 41.61% offensive zone starts, and 36.71% offensive zone finishes which is bad and worrisome but I could write an entire essay on how weird and disconnected some of Hoffman's fancies are, and the rest of them suggest he's a great left winger anyway fancy cats rule, y'all drool, suck it

I was just winging it after like the 4th round so if any of you guys lose to my team you should be embarrassed. Perreault-Fabbri-Perry Pearson-X-Teravainen Ho Sang-Desharnais-Dano X-White-Shaw Keith-Ekblad Wideman-Hjalmarsson Crawford I really wanted Abdelkader to finish off that 4th line and assumed he would last a lot longer (Boomer ). It would be poo poo at everything except taking penalties and punching faces, but would it ever have been fun to watch for fans of both teams.

Good reclamation project at a good price to play in the top 6 when injuries hit, but can make the third line somewhat dangerous. He'll carry my team through slumps until he gets healthy scratched in the 2nd round. Also something something party panic yada yada Thomas Vanek edit: why am I seeing two salaries for him? is his cap hit 2.6 or 6.5? is the 6.5 his old wild hit? which one do I count (better be the 2.6 lol) stab fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Aug 2, 2016 |
