Last season was the first time Ovie looked old and I'm not surprised to see people like Laine go before him.

The Nashville Perds are proud to announce that there has been a skipped pick, and that pick is skipped to the Nashville Perds. With this skipped pick, a player must be selected.

That player will be selected by Nashville.



That player is Vladimir Tarasenko.

welp, I have too many choices and don't know who to pick.

I might as well just pick the guy who I think is the second best D in the league, and turn the Oilers into a defensive juggernaut. Welcome to Edmonton Victor Hedman.

Man, picking at this stage is like pulling teeth.

I was hoping for Hedman so instead I'll take John Tavares
I imagine he's due a big payday but I think he's got at least 5 good years left in him and maybe 5 more decent ones after that.

I legitimately think that he is elite or just on the cusp, is young, signed decently long on a contract that doesn't even look that bad now, and has good fancies on a so-so team. I was going to pick Kucherov for similar reasons but he was sniped on me (and I might've gone this way anyway because Kucherov is gonna get like 9M in two years). There were a few centers (one in particular) that I considered there, but I feel like top flight wingers have the shallowest pool compaired to centers and D of a similar caliber so :supaburn: positional scarcity :supaburn:


Also maybe I'll get a good center and what then???? What say you Blues? Wanna see Tarasenko score 60 goals when he's not saddled with whatever aging crap you trot out there???


e: McDavid, Laine, Matthews, Karlsson, and maybe Eichel were the only guys on my list I had ranked ahead of him


e2: I've been phone posting for the last few days because I never unpacked my laptop when I went away last weekend so I'll update my team page on the spreadsheet later

Don't get me wrong - I think he's a solid pick (I got him at 14 last year and would've jumped to have him at 12 this year.) Guys who can score 40 goals are rare, winger or no - and when it comes to quality centers I think that well is a lot deeper than wingers of Tarasenko's stature.

Patrick Kane was already taken, and this guy is just a younger Patrick Kane. Carolina takes Mitch Marner.
