Furnaceface posted:Oh poo poo its a good thing I checked this before going to work. Picking in a hurry so, uh, the Flames will take one Marcus Kruger because he is a good bottom 6 guy on a good contract. I need someone else to verify this, because everything I've seen shows him getting worse and worse as the seasons go on, and $3 million is a lot for a guy who scored 4 points in 41 games, shut down center or not.

i'll take Jordie "the other benn" Benn because while he's not very good, he apparently at least suppresses shots well and that's good enough for me with how few decent defenders are left

JoelJoel was skipped as of 20 minutes ago so I'll take Nikita Tryamkin as my 6th defenseman. One of the concerns about him from the 13 games he played last season was him getting gassed during longer shifts, and he reportedly was getting married in Russia this offseason, then immediately coming back to Vancouver to train, so I'm hoping those concerns will be a thing of the past. Also he's 6'8", and you can't teach that Teemu Pokemon is up

Ehh, hairy Benn, though bad, isn't as awful as some in DAS seem to think. Just never let him anywhere near the top four as he tends to get lit the gently caress up when good players are on the ice against him. Dallas Stars select Nick Holden. From my very limited viewing of him in Colorado he's a good shutdown guy and plays far more min that I though (~22 a night last season). He can block shots and play on the PK. With injuries he can slot up if necessary. He's signed for a couple more years at a p low cap him and at 29 he's likely got a good 2-5 years left of decent bottom pairing minutes in him. Provided Roy isn't my coach I can't seem him doing anything but improving.

Boomer The Cannon posted:Lucic - Matthews - Niedereitter It's a step up for O'Reilly at least, because that's a better team than Buffalo. Seems like a waste to have Trouba and Shattenkirk as a pair but your defense kinda falls apart after that. I'd think breaking them up and spreading out the talent would work out better for you.

Nick Holden, shutdown defenseman  He has the second-highest Fenwick against/60 of defensemen who played more than 1000 minutes in the last two seasons, behind only Ristolainen. Next you're going to tell me that Marcus Kruger has a good contract.Incidentally, Davidson and Benn are pretty good in that regard.

Kruger is a great contract though? He has done a good job dragging some literal poo poo around the ice while making mostly d zone starts against tough comp. The only legitimate worry is if he can stay healthy.

The only legitimate worry is if he can stay healthy. Once again, $3 million for 4 points. Zero goals all season. He got outscored by Tanner Glass last season, and it's not like he set the world on fire the year before either. He's got a lot to prove next season.

The biggest indictment of Roy as a coach is that Holden played so many minutes. He is loving atrocious and totally incapable of making good decisions with the puck. He has skill but zero hockey sense.

I'm totally gonna corner the market on guys named Joonas by selecting goaltender Joonas Korpisalo. He looked really good filling in for Bob last year and totally deserves a more extended shot at the NHL level, so he'll be a nice backup.

JoelJoel posted:What, you want him to score goals? No I'm saying that it's weird to say a player is a good shutdown D when his defensive metrics are close to worst in the league. Just like some random Rangers fans said he has good fancystats after they traded for him when in fact they're absolute garbage. I've also been noticing a trend of one-line posts on hockey forums saying some random player seems to have good fancystats with no further explanation, even when they're average at best.

eXXon posted:Nick Holden, shutdown defenseman yeah that was the logic behind my pick of Benn, he's not going to drive offense or be a great player, but he does seem to at least do one thing decently well and that's suppress shots against. I'll probably have to unfortunately play him on my 2nd pairing but at least he brings something to the table.

I believe that one of the better goalies who's left , and at a decent cap hit is Scott Darling. So I will pick him and pretend like he's got a $2MM cap hit and Hank has a reasonable one.

Otis Reddit posted:I had him picked but went with Darling at the last minute. Looking at some of his stats, he's better than I had assumed. That insane run obviously set up absurd expectations that he'll never live up to, but he's still solid on a team with a defense of Karlsson and five other dudes whose names I'll never know.

His 5v5 sv% this year was just as good as last year in as many minutes. It's really surprising, because when you watch him he's a mess.

I haven't had time to look at depth players so I'll make my coach pick and hopefully remember to do research before it get backs to me. Dave Tippett -- still a good coach, often underrated, would develop the young guys well while instituting a strong team defense to cover some of the... weaknesses. Drouin - McDavid - Silfverberg Zetterberg - Nielsen - Draisatl xxx - Faksa -- Maroon Muzzin - Niskanen K. Miller - Braun xxx - C. Miller Hamburglar Lu Samsonov

Although he likely won't see NHL time this season, Travis Sanheim is too loving talented to pass up here. I'm guessing he's good enough that he could be a third pairing guy right now, but letting him develop in the AHL wouldn't be the worst thing in the world either. Where he lands all depends on who's available for me down the road. Eriksson - Stamkos - R. Smith Fiala - Trocheck - Donskoi Arvidsson - Grigorenko - Read Barrie - Klefbom C. Murphy - R. Murray Petrovic - Sanheim (tentative) Andersen Korpisalo Infidel Castro fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Aug 6, 2016 |

My two NHL goalies are both obviously going to be dogshit back-ups, so I'm going to grab my goalie of the future now in Thatcher Demko and worry later about who will be the other half of my mediocre tandem.

I am distraught and to punish you all for taking the backup goalies I wanted away from me, the Nega-Oilers are going all the way on the Defense First mindset and taking Jacques Lemaire as our coach. Praise be to the 1-0 win.
