Florida selects G Karel Vejmelka. Despite a high-ish GAA, his GSAA was top 10 in the league.

Huh? Hockeyref and NSS have him around -8, closer to bottom 10 than average.

I'm not sure what kind of funny math could prove that a starter with two straight seasons below .900 is actually secretly great, even if they're on a terrible team.

e: oh, that's moneypuck's GSAE. Okay then.

Work is chaos right now since we are preparing for flu shot season, I will try to keep up when I can but its going to be very sporadic.

e: Oh its my pick right now anyway. Gimme a minute, Ill grab someone.

e2: OK Im gonna grab a coach for this mess of a team. He worked wonders his first year in Edmonton so maybe his magic will work here in Columbus. Welcome aboard Jay Woodcroft.

e3: OK well if we are skipping that group I will grab another to move this along. Ill take Brayden Schenn with the second pick.

No one took Sam Bennett?? I'm actually gonna start him ahead of Haula. He's a wrecking ball. The NY Rangers take Sam Bennett. We also take Mattias Samuelsson, who will hopefully prove out that last year isn't a fluke and should take over for McDonagh in a year or two.

For 23 I'm going to take a coach with an overall (regular season) winning record in Todd McLellan (LAK)

Consensus is short one RW; I'm giving them Ryan Hartman who can also play C (badly). This is their lineup now:

Lafreniere-Stephenson-Hartman

Rielly-Pesce

Meanwhile, I assume Ginette was too slow so Tronna's gonna take a young likely backup in Joel Hofer, pushing Wallstedt to the farm for now.

The Whalers will take the really underrated Eetu Luostarinen. 43 points in limited ice time, excellent defensively, and only 24 years old.

This just about rounds out my team, and I'm very happy with it. I wanted to build a team that could contend right away but also be in a good shape to contend for years to come.

Other than when Rantanen gets a raise in two years, nobody on my team will be making more than $9.5m for the forseeable long future, and only 3 players in total (Rantanen, Fox, and Barzal) are making than $6.25m for the next few seasons.

I have a balanced four lines, hopeful that Cooley is a star pretty soon and that Will Smith can jump in as an NHL regular in a couple of years when guys like Pavelski are done (or if I lose someone to free agency in 2025). I have possibly the best defense in the league (which is also loaded with long-term team-friendly contracts), I like my goalie tandem (cheap and good, I am a big fan of Swayman).

I lack game-breakers on offense outside of Rantanen (and maybe Barzal) but I have around $22m in cap room to add one if need be.


Rantanen - Barzal - EKane
Kempe - Eriksson Ek - Mangiapane
Barbashev - Pavelski - Cooley
Cates - Gourde - Luostarinen

Matheson - Fox
Slavin - Marino
Severson - Zub

McTavish was a great get IMO, both due to his performance & the lack of quality options on the Ducks.
