He was atrocious on the Canucks last year. Maybe he just needs time to put it together, there were definitely games where he was good, but I'm also glad he ain't on my team any more

Not sure about last year but he seems to consistently outperformed the team he is on in the past...the problem is that he has only been on some of the worst teams ever.

The Winnipeg Jets will select Adam Gaudette as a 4C.

I think this will be the year Gaudette is either going to stick it as a 3C (displacing Sutter) and be a legit long term NHL player or he will just not quite make it and top out at AHL star/NHL injury call up. He was pretty sheltered last year and got destroyed in the faceoff circle (4th worst % excluding low volume) and didn't kill penalties much last year so I dont see him developing into a limited minutes 4th line defensive specialist.

If it's the former he can push Soderberg to wing or 4C, if it's the later then so be it.

In writing this i've almost talked myself out of the pick, but i'm going to press post before that happens.

code:
Timo Meier	Brayden Point	Sam Reinhart
Jake DeBrusk	David Krejci	J.T. Miller
Branden Tanev	Carl Soderberg	Wayne Simmonds
William Carrier	Adam Gaudette	
		
Brendan Dillon		Erik Gustafsson 
Chris Tanev		Nick Holden
Brett Kulak		Robert Bortuzzo
		
	MacKenzie Blackwood	
	Thatcher Demko

Adam Gaudette is a very forgettable hockey player. I don't see the third line centre people say he'll be as soon as this year. It's more due to the lack of centre depth on the Canucks than any real aptitude for the role. He's brutal at faceoffs and isn't much to write home about at either end of the rink. I think he's better suited as a right winger long term.

Detroit takes Emil Bemstrom


Taylor Hall - Elias Pettersson - Craig Smith
Michael Ferland - Logan Couture - Cody Glass
Emil Bemstrom - Joe Veleno - Jordan Eberle
Marcus Foligno - Tyler Bozak - Cody Eakin

TJ Brodie - Cale Makar
Quinn Hughes - Travis Hamonic
Juuso Valimaki - Slater Koekkoek

Sergei Bobrovsky


I got a couple guys playing out of position, I guess, but hopefully Brodie would be fine playing his natural side and Bemstrom supposedly likes to shoot on his off-side. I'd eventually move Couture to wing as he ages, slide Glass into 2C, and probably eventually have Hughes and Makar together once they settle in. If Makar/Hughes can play top 4 right out of the gate, then I think this roster is competitive now and definitely has a pretty wide open window for several years with the Hall/Pettersson/Makar/Hughes/Bobrovsky core, especially if Glass/Veleno/Bemstrom pan out. Most of the other dudes (and their cap hits) can be ditched within a year or two in order to re-sign the core coming off their entry deals.

Same here.

I basically have no idea how much cap space I have left since I apparently drafted 6 RFA's so far. I'm guessing I can take one more dude around 3 mil then everyone else basically has to be league min, but who knows.
