take me you ANIMAL posted:

I have like four, two are prospects, two are over 30 journeymen. I have no idea how to do drafts with this many teams this deep. Prepare for me searching for "hockey players with NHL contracts." and drafting from that.

One of the reasons I really like doing this draft in the offseason is because it really is a good way to get acclimated with other teams pluggers and prospects. A few more rounds and we get to the point where it's just wave after wave of some kid who might not ever play in the league and players who you thought had retired five years ago.

I had hoped to get Schlemko here, but since that's no longer an option I had to go through my list of all LD remaining. I don't like most of the d-men left, I'm going to get another lefty before the remaining good ones all get taken. After all, this is TEAM DEFENSE.

This guy played in the NHL last season and had excellent defensive stats. He was a 3rd pairing D last year but should easily get top 4 minutes on the Hawks, and could be a potential steal if he continues to play the way he did in his first season, so come on down Michal Kempny.

Vatrano - Couturier - Pominville
x - Lindholm - Puljujarvi

Hedman - Klingberg
Klefbom - Pesce
Kempny - Pysyk

Ive been too busy with work to actually put effort into a gimmick or team idea, to the point that I cant even look at my picks to come up with decent lines. I guess it would look something like this?

Fabbri - Toews - Perry
Marleau - Spezza - Zuccarello
??? - Ho-Sang - Dano

Forsling - Burns
??? - DeAngelo

Crawford

Better than the real life Avs or Wings I guess.

When I was looking at LD I did notice his HERO chart, looked up where he was projected in the Hawks line-up and went "drat, I have to get this guy".

Holy poo poo, we are already 120 dman deep. I only have three, guess I better draft a loving dman. I'll take average rear end Kyle Quincy to average out my team.


E: also, the letgo app is as bad as if craigslist could dm you to haggle and then just ignore you once you set up a transaction. gently caress, I just want to get rid of my loving washer/dryer, why is this poo poo so difficult.

That would have been a better strategy.

Edit: I'm also having to try and explain FIP to my new landlords since they want to charge me 400 pet fee for my cat that probably wont last the first month we move in. poo poo sucks and I have to call when my wife is gone even though she works in an vet emergency clinic since she cant deal with it (Cat is only 5). So if I miss picks or make poo poo homer picks over the next few rounds that is my reason.
