The Seattle Kraken proudly select some middling depth player for seemingly unknown reasons Mikko Rantanen.


66 points in 56 games last season and most importantly led the league in +-. I’m always a little wary of starting a fantasy team on the wing, but so be it.

Edit: does the google sheet auto populate the salaries from somewhere? Or do we put that in as well?

Miro Heiskanen seems to make sense here. Just turned 22 and is already pretty dominant defensively with a lot of offensive upside.

Hello SAS!

We'd like to thank mentholmoose for organizing this event...as well as SomethingAwful for its hospitality. We'd also like to say a big hello to our fans back at Nationwide Arena who are watching at our watch party for watching.

With the 28th overall pick, we'd like to invite our chief scout, Ville "The Terminator" Siren, to make the selection. Ville?

shyduck and tarbush did not make selections in the first round, I'm going to try to message them reminders but would it be appropriate to make selections for them now that everyone else has had a chance to pick their first players?

Hellebuyck is a good pick. Quietly a top 2-3 goalie over the past few seasons.

I’d argue some seasons he has been the best in the world. So of course, he plays in Winnipeg. I think he will enjoy the change of scenery.

There have been a couple of seasons in which he was the best goaltender in the NHL. Hellebuyck is largely understated as an elite goaltender year-in and year-out playing behind a terrible defense.

Ok uhh NHL selects Sean Couturier for the absent Ottawa Senators.. that completes the 1st round of the draft

It's T-Bone due up followed by yet another WeaponX pick and tarbrush

WeaponX worked himself a sweet deal with both his teams in such close proximity to the bottom of the draft order.

Thank you Svejk for stepping in, my original plans of having my secretary announce the pick in her swimsuit had to be cancelled after she quit unexpectedly, that’s the 5th time that’s happened this year! I guess that’s what you get when you try and promote women…

Anyway we’re very happy to pick the previous years Norris winner. He didn’t have quite as good last year, but without having really watched any preds games it looks to be a bit luck based, mainly from behind him with the lowest on ice save percentage. I have never looked into it but I assume PDO is even more likely to be close to 100 for guys that play as many minutes as Josi does. So a sub 98 PDO is a really good bet for a positive regression.
