alright, i'll take nikita zaitsev

he costs a little more than i'd like and its a bit longer than i'd like but i can overpay a little bit considering my situation

i love picking basically last!! its great!! love to see everyone get taken immediately before me

Sorry I'm late everyone. Okay, I'm not really sorry. And if you don't want to be sorry, you better watch your loving nuts because I'm taking Milan Lucic.



I hate Lucic. gently caress this motherfucker. Just look at this poo poo.



But he's probably good for 20 goals and 50 points playing with Connor McDavid, so watch those testes.

Lucic doesn't play with McDavid. They tried that a bunch but it really, really doesn't work. Unsurprisingly, the slowest dude in the league doesn't pair well with the fastest.

The second im surprised he wasnt taken yet since a bunch of 3 4 ds are being taken.

Knowing TMac, Lucic is only two periods of McDavid's line struggling away from being shuffled back onto it.

This actually has never stuck. Because somebody name dropped Maroon, I'll just use him. Once they stopped forcing Lucic and McDavid to be together, they've remained apart for basically the rest of the season (aside from being together on the first PP unit). Whenever the Maroon-McDavid-Draisaitl line struggled, there's been the line shuffling and sometimes Lucic and McDavid would end up together (usually with Eberle which also didn't work), but that'd only last for the rest of the game then they'd go back to the original first line.

As for why McDavid works with Maroon and not Lucic, I'll just call it the Sidney Crosby conundrum. Also because of course McDavid wouldn't work with the one guy Chiarelli signed specifically to play with him and gave him $6 mil over 7 years and traded Hall away because he was getting him hahahahaha kill me now

He's a dirty shithead and kind of trending downwards but on the other hand he scored 40 with Malkin not that long ago so come on down, James Neal. Plus, it lets Hornqvist slide down to the 2nd line and marks the first year Neal has been picked after Hornqvist, I think.

It's weird not drafting precious young boys but I imagine I'll have to start doing that soon.

I think I took Schneider too early and shoulda taken Manson or Carlson over one of my Swedes.


e: I like a lot of the same teams everyone is mentioning and also I think stab's team is very good outside of the Seabrook pick.

thufir and laderhan have good interesting teams too, and Ginette potentially might be better than Real Canadiens. Honestly there aren't a lot of teams that don't look pretty good for either right now or for the future I think the draft has gone well if a bit younger than usual.

I like Good Soldier's team. I think Kopitar rebounds and Tavares/Kopitar + that surrounding core will be really nice. Rantanen and Landeskog I *think* would progress well in that situation but maybe I just like them irrationally.

Anyway, I'll take a flyer on Kyle Okposo. He's had injury and illness issues lately, but if he's healthy I can rely on him for 20g/50p at a minimum.

I think he transferred most of that "power" to Marchand before he left Boston, and then to Draisaitl here.
