I think it'd be alright since no one else has picked yet and it's a guy that hosed off to Europe so no one is gonna care if his name got brought up but he wasn't picked. It's not the same like whoever it was last year that picked someone after they waited the entire overnight pause and then like 8 minutes later edited their post to pick Rakell

The Anaheim Ducks of Anaheim would like to select Richard Panik. Good fancies, RW, and cheapish. Also boarded Carl Alzner, which our organization loves. Apparently was arrested for criminal tresspassing as well so he receives bonus points.

My team needs some veteran leadership and some goal-scoring acumen, and since it's mostly full of babies I think I can handle one old, old man in the lineup.

That old man is Jeff Carter. For now he'll bump Patrick down to third line duties (so he can get easier match-ups) but maybe Carter will shift to right-wing depending on how things shake out.

Carter is interesting. I almost took him but he's getting old. That said, he still produced well last year so maybe he's got a few years left of producing like a top six guy.

I figure even if he couldn't pull his own line after another year or two, he's a prime candidate for a PP specialist position or his contract gets LTIR'd, but I have a lot of guys on good deals that gives me the room to gamble that he might still have 20-30 goals in him.

Looks like Cale Makar is the pick here. For some reason he's a top tier prospect that plays for my favorite lovely college program, Umass-Amherst. Quick went there too!

Anyway he's a RHD and I need one of those. Here's Pronman again:

quote:

One of the most frequent debates I’ve been having with NHL people in the last year is about players like Makar who are incredibly dynamic with their feet and skill but have questions defensively. The argument is trying to figure out whether they’ll become P.K. Subban or Ryan Murphy. My stance is somewhere in the middle. You should incorporate the risk, it’s greater for defenders with that question than forwards, but you don’t want to overblow it, because if that player becomes a Subban or Erik Karlsson, that’s a franchise changer. Makar had those dynamic elements in bunches. His skating is explosive and elusive. He has great hands. He moves the puck very well, too. I don’t think he’s a horrible defender and have seen him be OK on the PK in college, but it’s not a strength.

Mittlestadt-Eichel-Wahlstrom
Pettersson-Necas-Zadina

Dahlin-Heiskanen
McAvoy-Makar

Strangely that's my first Canadian taken and he's a college hockey dude. He made the WJC all-star team and got invited to the Olympic team but turned it down. Colorado wanted to sign him this year but he's playing another season at Umass.

Guys, what have I missed about this guy? Is it strictly his age? Older guys have been taken. Guys who are much worse have been taken. Guys who are more expensive have been taken. I feel like I’m missing something.

Anyway, Carolina selects Mikko Koivu. He’s a 35 year old center who plays 18+ minutes a night and is good for 45-50 points and excellent possession numbers, while playing tough defensive minutes against top opposition. He’s got two years on his contract at only 5.5 million.

The Vancouver Canucks are very pleased to welcome aboard Jakub Silfverberg, a proven twenty-goal scoring wing who is effective on both ends of the ice. He should thrive in a middle-six role.

I always gently caress up this middle-ish part of the draft - before we're all picking depth guys. I don't hate my team but I'm not feeling as good about it as I was when I only had Kuznetsov and Marner. It feels very "meh" to me.
