Hello, Chicago Blackhawks here again!

We're very proud of the way things are going, and we're so, so excited about our next pick. He's going to be a solid mentor, he's vegan (MacKinnon is freaking out), and is also a god drat giant. He's the oldest active player and tallest player in the history of the NHL and a defenceman, which we believe is what the kids these days call "big D energy," and we're sure he can go all night long if he's toughed it for 24+ years already.

We're just so enthusiastic we have started our camp but have no idea what we're paying him yet. Welcome to the team, ZDENO CHARA!

Just like the Bruins are keeping Swayman in a 1B situation for a bit by signing Ullmark this season, Florida plans to do the exact same and to bring in a move proven starter who has strung together a few solid seasons in a row since our roster is more win now than futures. We'll take Cam Talbot to give us a quality starter now with Swayman constantly looking over his shoulder and ready to take over as soon as Cam has 2 bad games in a row

The Chicago Blackhawks are busy increasing the size of the doors in all our rooms to accommodate Chara, but this isn't keeping us too busy to be here right on time to draft more (internally) competitive players.

We're still in line with our idea to create the most friction possible, so that internal competition brings us to great success. The guy we have our eyes on is obviously a Trump supporter, but at this point this isn't enough to even be a big deal here. We’re going to do an opposite thing here, so after drafting the tallest player in history, we are happy to draft the shortest skater in history and bring him to the club — just after we make sure he won’t be confused for a minor by some staff we probably still have on the payroll knowing ourselves as an organization.

Welcome to the Blackhawks, NATHAN GERBE!

I'll complete the top 6 in Dallas with the draft of two forwards, LW Michael Bunting and C Troy Terry

Two younger and less proven options to be sure (bunting especially has a track record of like.. 40 NHL games total) but they have the skill set that I'm looking for on the 2nd line... namely guys that fill in some easier minutes while the 1st and 3rd lines take the tougher matchups.

Buchnevich - Cirelli - Gallagher
Bunting - Terry - Radulov
xxxx - Bonino - Kase

Dumoulin - Makar
Pelech - Pulock

I'm just going to go ahead and pick Duncan Keith for lazerwolf's last pick and someone else can take a younger cheaper player for his next one.

Oh wow you guys got back to me quick. I didnt really prepare for this one (well, less so than usual) but since goalies in general are scarce right now and I cant see fitting a second one into my gimmick after this I may as well skip the forward I had in mind and platoon 2 backups and pray for the best like any good Canucks GM would do.

Vancouver would like to make sure this player no longer has to be the victim of Leafs fans blaming everything on him for the loss despite putting up decent backup numbers, so welcome aboard Michael Hutchinson.

lazerwolf's team is now irredeemably old and needs more forwards and probably a guy who can play center, so how about Jeff Carter?

(I think there are technically a few higher-scoring centers/forwards left, but either of them would be pouring even more gasoline on top of that team's highly flammable cap situation).

It’s Carolina’s pick, and super good timing, one hour before I start work.


For the last 3 years , there has only been one player , to have the true grit to lead and fight his team to the Stanley cup each year.

A player who scored a really well timed OT goal.

A player who can still drop gloves and fight.

And he’s from St. Louis , so you know he’s a stand up individual.


Carolina selects:
