I'll take Oliver Bjorkstrand and hope he shoots better than 6% next season.

I like Bjorkstrand a lot -- I probably overrate him but I feel like he could score 30 with the right TOI/line.

I was at work, so here to post my roster so far - might I say I am very pleased with the youth, the contracts, and the abilities of my players!

Hall-Larkin-Eberle (love this first line)
Tolvanen-Zibanejad-???
???-Faksa-???

Provorov-???
Ekholm-Severson (love this second pairing - two players who complement each other really well and both are locked into cheap contracts)

Larkin is interesting, he looked fantastic at the WC with real linemates and I'd like to see what he could do with Zadina/Mantha in the future.

Ehlers - Monahan - Bjorkstrand

This team might win a few games or maybe it won't. I don't even care, do you?

Yep. I wanted him centering Hall because I think he would put up 75-80 - his speed is a serious weapon and last year he took playing center extremely well with garbage linemates.

I have great young center depth, good passing left wingers, some scoring right wingers, a defenseman, and a goalie whose high quality start percentage might be able to cover for the lack of defensemen, so far.

Vancouver needs some youth and a big shooter on the second line. Daniel Sprong fits the bill and projects to play a big role coming off a sensational rookie season in the AHL.

There are about 40 guys since 2005 who have 2 shots per game as teenagers. While his counting numbers are bad, this player managed to shoot that much while playing only 13 minutes a game with very little powerplay time, and he put up good possession numbers on a bad team. He's a physical specimen. In real life his numbers are going to look good as he's going to stick beside the likely best player in the world, in this imaginary life he's going to stick next to a really solid two way center who can feed him the puck while still covering up his mistakes and letting him run wild offensively.

The Carolina Hurricanes select Jesse Puljujärvi.

It is possible (likely?) that Edmonton fucks this one up in real life, but I'm counting on his talent shining through. I'll hopefully have a couple more veteran wingers around who are able to push Puljujarvi and Vrana down the lineup to more sheltered minutes in case they can't step up.

For what it's worth, Puljujarvi won't even be McDavid's RW because the Oilers are dumb. He might not even end up as Draisaitl's RW. So he'll struggle to produce because he has lovely linemates and then the Oilers will give up on him mid-season and trade him and he'll flourish with his new team because this organization sucks.

Technetium has until 1:12 PM EST.

This would also be acceptable to me.

In fact, given I hate the Oilers, this would be preferable.

If he was Russian instead of Finnish I would be more worried about him flaming out, but I think he'll get a few more chances before he gets labelled a bust.

It sucks, because I don't do this anymore, but about half way through the draft I think of a cool gimmick I could have used. I think it would have been neat to only pick players 30-years old or older.

Let's go with Oliver Wahlstrom even if he probably doesn't make the Islanders because I need a (maybe) elite trigger man and his USHL year was insane. This seems like another Kyle Connor situation and I think (real) teams are going to regret letting him go 11th.
