Since it's past 1:42 I guess that means I can pick now, so I'll take my second center and go with Nazem Kadri

Had a career high 32 goals last year and while it was much higher than he ever got in his life before, he only shot 13% which isn't too ridiculous. Still relatively young and good at what he does. Further solidifies the rear end in a top hat factor of the squad that will work really well with Marchand and Getzlaf already in the mix.

Then again Dallas looks good too, who comes out? Minnesota?

I think Minnesota will be fine, Boudreau's always good at getting his teams to perform well in the regular season. However, I could see St. Louis missing out and maybe Chicago too.

e: Not to mention San Jose, which could give the Central another wild card team.

Slavin is a very good pick, and if I couldn't get Klefbom I would've gotten Slavin instead.

I mean, you don't have to. You just have to select guys who are NHL property (as per rule 1). So if you want to pick back-ups or even prospects on NHL contracts, go nuts.

I almost picked him over Kopitar but his fancy stats and shooting percentage spike have me really thinking he might be more of the 40-50 point player than the 50-60 sort.

That said he did look fairly impressive in the first round series against the Pens so who's to say?

Wennberg vs kadri was a debate I had for my pick too and I went for kadri for similar reasons
