He's still alive so I thought maybe it could work.

Guy Boucher is also a fan of the trap, isn't he? I'll take him, then.

Is it just me or is the Canucks' roster the worst in the league? I don't think they're the worst team in the league but it's basically a bunch of bad players, underwhelming prospects, and the Sedins

They're probably the worst team going into next season yes. Management and Ownership has spent the last three years crossing their fingers for a miracle season to prime the team for a sale. They got one, and it resulted in a six game humiliation at the hands of the Flames. It'll take another couple years before they shut it down and rebuild completely (despite it being apparent that was necessary four years ago). They spin it as giving the Sedins another chance, but they can't be expected to produce more than 55 points next year. The best thing for everyone would be to trade them to a contender, but management is deluded into thinking they can stumble across the right mix so they'll keep throwing good picks and players at garbage waiver fodder propped up by intangibles.

I need to finish off my rear end in a top hat line and Tom Wilson can be that rear end in a top hat. He probably has terrible fancy stats and gets paid too much but I dont care because my 4th line is going to physically break your best players and let me coast to victory.

e:
Mathieu Perreault - Robby Fabbri - FCP
Tanner Pearson - David Desharnais - Teuvo Teravainen
Josh Ho Sang - Marcus Kruger - Marko Dano
Tom Wilson - Ryan White - Andrew Shaw

Duncan Keith - Aaron Ekblad
Dennis Wideman - Niklas Hjalmarsson

Corey Crawford

my list of decent available skaters is a 32-sided dice roll of poo poo so i'll take Alain Vigneault because i think the gap between him and the next best coach is wide, and it drops off a cliff pretty shortly thereafter

I'm too sleepy to comb through the 3rd lines of every team in the nhl so I'm just gonna go with a guy i know in casey cizikas

he makes a bit too much money and his fancies aren't great but I watch him all the time and I think he's better than that and that's good enough for me at 3am on a saturday

With full no movement clause
I think now that Frans is gone, Cizikas might be the 3rd most important guy on that team after JT and Leddy. He's the reason why The Best 4th Line In Hockey was ever effective when Clutterbuck and Martin were throwing their goony bodies around and taking themselves out of plays. He's easily one of the 5, if not 3, most defensively responsible guys on that team and I wouldn't be surprised if his bad fancies were because of Fred Flintstone's lovely deployment and not because he secretly sucks

Jul 23, 2004

I kinda feel the same way about him, it's hard to really quantify it though. He might see an increased role this year but if Barzal makes the team and gets a top 6 role as expected then Cizikas will probably be in the same exact role he has been in in the past on the 4th line.

Maybe Capuano will get fired one day and he'll get to do other stuff, maybe

Bottom 6 guys are never the 3rd most important players on a team. Cizikas is also horribly overpaid for what he brings.

as we come to the dead part of the draft, do you guys want to do what we did last season at some point and go to the 1 hour timelimit?

I'll do a dice roll on Tomas Jurco.
He could be better than he was, and if not he's still a really good 4th liner. I don't have much else to justify this because it seems like a possibility that he may not even be on the opening roster for the wings.

Holy crap, my pick came around a lot quicker than I thought and I didn't even notice. My bad.

Nick Cousins seems like an alright pick at this stage, so I'll take him.

As much as I want to take Mike Yeo just so I can fire him, I need a coach that is good at relating to young players, has innovative practice methods and always gives good, smiling interviews.

At some point it becomes easier to switch to just doing a round a day and you can make your pick any time that day

You got a problem with Holden but you're okay with letting Fayne near your team? That def makes sense.
