Seattle is going to select our goalie, Darcy Kuemper. He had an average year last year, but the two previous years his GSAA had been 4th best in the league, and he’s moved from the mess of Arizona to playing in front of the avalanche, that has to be a better environment.

Comes in with a pretty good contract of 3.5 as well.

As tempting as it is to stack my defense (there are at least 2 top-tier defensemen left imo), centers are going fast. I want to build my team on defense, so even though there are some nice offensive centers still available, the New Jersey Devils are proud to select Joel Eriksson-Ek.

Ek gives me two dominant defensive centers (with O'Reilly). He shot 16% last year, likely an aberration, but he still scored 19 goals at even-strength playing against some of the toughest competition in the league. Only 24, signed for the next 8 years at $5.25m. I'd expect Ek to be a remarkable defensive player who can chip in 50 points and hopefully get even better offensively considering on my team, he won't be the No. 1 guy and can play against lesser competition.

This gives me O'Reilly and Ek down the middle, with a first pairing of Toews-McAvoy, so I'm pretty pumped at how things have gone thus far.

I'm sure Minnesota would hope for that as well but he was still only on a 40 point pace last year so I'd temper those expectations

Not that it's unprecedented but you can probably count on 1 hand the number of players who suddenly double their shooting percentage at 24 and sustain it

You'll take the ride to leave this town along that yellow line
I'm going to take a chance on a goalie that looks promising, but hasn't had a large number of starts in any season yet with Chris Driedger

fantastic QS%, the last two seasons, decent sv%, GAA, and GA%. This is all on a small sample, so maybe this'll be a bad decision, but we'll see!

Yep, reasonable. If he can even put up 40 points he'd be a great 2C considering his shutdown defense value.

I also think Ek was playing against other teams' top players in Minnesota; as a 2C here, I think that could open up some opportunities for him, since O'Reilly will get the toughest assignments.

JawKnee picked at 10:54, shyduck got skipped at 12:54 but picked after he got skipped, mono got skipped at 2:54, so Kuule has until 4:54.

Ok well, you snooze you lose, so the Toronto Maple Leafs are happy to select a #1 defenseman who probably outscored a bunch of the forwards already picked, consistently has top tier defensive metrics and can play either side of the ice - come on down, good ol' Nepean, Ontario kid Andreas Johnsson and Travis Dermott, Mackenzie Weegar!

This gives me two dynamic duos in Point-Guentzel and Werenski-Weegar, a pairing likely to cause some announcers consternation.

The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

Time for a winger, somebody with a guaranteed first line spot who will score some goals. The Jets select Jakub Vrana.
