Im bad with time, did lazerwolf go past his 2 hour window?

so the clock runs to 10:00 PM EST and if my math is right VOTE1 made his pick at 7:12 EST which means Lazerwolf's 2 hour window had time to expire before the clock stopped running, I think you can make your pick tonight and Lazerwolf can pick anytime.

The Flyers select the Juice, Juuse Saros.

This is a cursed pick, no manifestation of the Flyers are allowed to have good goaltending. You've doomed Saros to a career collapse the likes of which has not been seen since Steve Mason.

It's funny because Mason turned his career around with the Flyers and is probably the best goaltender they've had since Cechmanek.

With Nathan MacKinnon on the roster for the Chicago Blackhawks comes the threat of his dietary habits, with his relentless desire for a cup pushing us towards eating better and working harder.

In what I can only call the best plan since our forefather Wirtz had the great idea of preventing local games from being on TV, forcing a much stronger attendance, we are today taking inspiration from the genius strategy that was going on at Sears, where internal competition was seen as a way to create innovation. We are therefore looking for competing forces fighting it out on the ice, in the locker room, and after hours.

The Chicago Blackhawks are proud to draft Phil Kessel! Come on down!

Looks like Iodised QQ's time has elapsed so I will make my back to back picks.


First, with selection #64

Nico Hischier
Hischier's a promising young center with high offensive upside and defensive pedigree. While he hasn't yet lived up to the expectations set by his 1st overall selection status or his outstanding 18 year-old rookie season, I firmly believe his best years are still ahead of him and that he will blossom into an elite player in the league and remain so for a long time.



and with selection #65

Aaron Ekblad
Ekblad's a promising young defenseman with high offensive upside and defensive pedigree. While he hasn't yet lived up to the expectations set by his 1st overall selection status or his outstanding 18 year-old rookie season, I firmly believe his best years are still ahead of him and that he will blossom into an elite player in the league and remain so for a long time.

After much deliberation and sadness over our Kabanov and Chychrun picks vanishing right before our time OTC, Florida will use their b2b picks onnnnn

Kyle Connor - already an elite LW who has a 38 goal season under his belt at the age of 24, it seemed only fair that I got McDavid a line mate who can actually play (and give corny old sportswriters tons of Connor2Connor puns to work with)

And our second pick will be Nicklas Backstrom - this one was much harder to make as there are a few similar options here, but Backstrom has been an elite two way center for a long time and we here in Florida believe he has a few high level seasons left in him, especially on the second line with cushier match-ups.

Starsfan is back OTC with MononcQC after

I thought so too but he had a huge bounce-back last season despite playing more minutes than he ever has.

It's a bit of a gimmick gamble and a bit of I genuinely believe he has the chance to maintain that level of play and possibly even elevate it.

Connor was seriously tempting being a drat near 40 goal scorer still on the board 60 picks in but he is apparently a tire fire defensively.
Not that that matters much if he's on a line with McDavid because he should never have to spend any time in his own end

The Chicago Blackhawks have unfortunately heard of ongoing disagreements in the locker room between All Star Strict Eater Nathan MacKinnon and Hot-Dog- and Life-Loving Phil Kessel. Our staff informs us that they may unfortunately not get along and agree to play on the same line because Phil's water bottle is in fact filled with Mountain Dew.

The Chicago Blackhawks are therefore proud to draft Center and Pizza enthusiast Phillip Danault to play on Phil Kessel's line, which I am hearing Kessel is already dubbing the 'Re-Phil line'. MacKinnon seems unhappy, but we'll see how we work around that. Welcome back Phillip!

All offense, all the time.

Ruining a promising young goaltender like Juuse Saros is going to take a lot of work, but the Flyers also want to win games, so we have to take prime offensive players who suck in their own end.

To that goal, the Flyers will be taking one of the prime young offensive d-men in the game, Thomas Chabot.

I need a first-line center and it's important to find home-grown talent that's committed to the team. He may be getting older, and you know in the back of your head he's starting to decline, but you've gotta keep riding him, because what other choice do you have, really? Besides, the fans probably won't even notice.
