Since my gimmick is young players and old/bad contracts, the Washington Capitals select Jonathan Quick, a starting goaltender who appears to have been overlooked because he's signed for eternity and couldn't stop a puck last year.

Well, looks like we'll finish round 23 today, hopefully we can get a decent amount into the final round. Also have to publicly call out El Gallinero Gros, who has picked 23 signed players and has failed to reach the cap floor. For shame.

Mike Reilly is a 7th d-man signed to a cheapish contract and he can put up 10-15 points.

I'll take Swedish national team coach Rickard Gronborg to run my team. He's married to an American and has been seeking an NHL head coaching job for a couple years plus coached and played in the USA for a decade so his transition shouldn't be too difficult. He seems pretty interested in trying new things and playing hockey differently than everyone else, so I figure he'll be able to get the most out of my roster. Anyways, I'm actually done now for another year. That was fun as always. Thanks Kilza for keeping us on time and not stealing my picks a couple weeks ago.

I will close it out with another Red Wings "prospect", Christoffer Ehn That gives me: Gourde - Barzal - Pastrnak Kempe - Zibanejad - Tuch Dvorak - Bonino - Rust Hirose - Pageau - Weal ex: Ehn, Girgensons Sergachev - Dumba Matheson - Savard Zadorov - R. Andersson ex:Mike Reilly Mrazek Howard I really kinda hate my defense and goaltending but the forwards turned out okay this year.

Okay because I'm a dork here's my team and how I'd set it up: Tyler Bertuzzi - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Alex DeBrincat Patrick Laine - Nick Schmaltz - Kaapo Kakko Noel Acciari - Bryan Little - Drake Batherson Jordan Greenway - Casey Mittelstadt - Loui Eriksson Aleksi Heponiemi - Tyler Benson I missed out on a bunch of skilled guys I wanted to take in the first round by picking so late, so pivoted to building a team built around interchangeable centres and a bevvy of scoring wingers. My top line will almost emulate a checking line in that I expect them to focus on puck retrieval and quick passes out front. All three of those guys are most effective in and around the crease, so that's where I see them doing most of their work. The hope is that other teams will focus too much on Laine and a (hopefully) point producing rookie in Kakko and let up on those guys a bit. I don't expect my depth will score all that much, but they're mostly placeholders until the youngsters in Kakko, Batherson, Heponiemi, Mittelstadt and Benson get a couple pro seasons in. I expect we'll be a low scoring team at first, but that will hopefully change after a couple years once the old guard ages out. Ryan Suter - Dante Fabbro Jonas Brodin - Nate Schmidt Robert Hagg - Derek Forbort Connor Carrick Pretty standard puck possession style defence focused on outlet passes over controlled possessions into the zone. Probably a dated style in this day and age, but given my lack of skilled distributors up front I figure my bottom 9 is going to get a disproportionate amount of goals off the rush. I love the way Nate Schmidt plays and expect him to be my #1 for the next 3-4 years assuming Suter slows down as expected. Speaking of Suter, I think I've drafted him three times now. I guess I like how he plays? Jacob Markstrom Jake Allen If Markstrom struggles Allen can play a bit. If Markstrom doesn't want to stay, I'm in trouble. Powerplay DeBrincat - Nugent-Hopkins - Schmaltz Laine - Schmidt Kakko - Little - Bertuzzi Suter - Fabbro Penalty Kill Who actually cares? I don't. Whoever doesn't suck at it.

Olofsson - Barkov - Granlund Tkachuk - Stepan - Boeser Sanford - Necas - Donskoi Agostino - Prokhorkin - Bracco Kaprizov - Turcotte Theodore - Parayko Gardiner - Dobson Byram - Pateryn Brook Andersen / Shestyorkin This lineup would be better with Kaprizov as LW1 or at least RW3, but it's young and good enough and will only get better with time. If it flops in year one, even better - the 2020 draft is loaded. I presume it's reasonably expansion draft-proof too. If we hadn't been limited to a mere 23 players I would have taken guys like Boldy and Zegras earlier (and Turcotte later) as there are still plenty of mediocre grinders/AHL superstars left to fill out a roster and a coin flip prospect is always better than a guaranteed replacement-level player. I also managed to draft zero Canadian forwards/goalies and only non-Ontarian North American defensemen in a pale but significantly less restrictive imitation of Drunk Canuck's all-Euro, anti-Don Cherry gimmick.

Of course! Thank you to everyone for keeping this running so smoothly, especially those who go the extra mile and update pick orders and such. I always have a blast doing this even if my team always seems so milquetoast at the end. It does wonders to quell the shakes I get from the months of hockey withdrawal each summer.

For sure, that's like a top-3 forward corps and bottom 3 defense in the actual NHL, possibly the worst if the rookies struggle and Schultz doesn't rebound. Let no one say you didn't draft a fun team, and if one of those kids is a #1 breakout it completely changes the story but that looks like a team built to be bored out of the playoffs by the dump and chase

Picking some dudes for the bottom of the roster Riley Nash - two years away from 41 points, and last year he started 70% in the defensive zone. Some "veteran presence" in case guys like Logan Brown don't work out as quick as I'd like Andreas Borgman - smaller, younger guy who plays a pretty physical game and did ok in his time with Toronto in 2018. On a fairly cheap deal; if he works out, great! If not, that's ok too. One more pick to go Gallagher - Crosby - Kreider Tkachuk - Skinner - Hinostroza Dube - Lowry - Simon Hayton - Nash - Aberg scratch: Brown Karlsson - Goligoski Risto - Manson Simek - Pouliot scratch: Borgman Jones Ullmark Babcock Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 17:44 on Aug 19, 2019 |
