Ahem. Ahem. Excuse me but COUGH COUGH I'm sorry, something in my throat.

With the 13th pick in the draft, the Anaheim Ducks pick Jack Echorn. Eichel. Jack Eichel. We couldn't be happier to have this young man as the cornerstone of our team, which we are building around depth, character and mad skillz. We believe Mr Egghorn brings this in spades. Welcome aboard, John!

otis went on the clock at 7:40 est and his 2 hours ended at 9:40 est, so you can pick right now if you want

I'm gonna grab Filip Forsberg. C/RW.

Here's why: he's 21 and already scoring 33 goals? That's nice, very nice. I mean he's riding a 13.4% shooting percentage, but elite shooters do tend to hover around there and I believe he's got it in him to be elite.
He's signed for $6M 'til 2022, and I'm willing to bet he's gonna be worth every penny. I wouldn't be surprised if he's hovering around PPG next season.

Now you can laugh at me because I didn't pick X,Y,Z. I dunno, I like Fil.

Edit: sorry didn't see that rule :v:

I like it too. How else will I get my 18 year old snipe picks in that won't materialize for six years

ThinkTank
Oct 23, 2007

Okay I agonized over this decision because I hate selecting older players, but I'm going to take



Anze Kopitar - C - 6'4" 225lbs - Shoots L

Kopitar fills the most important position in the game for me, that is a big minute two way centre who can score at a 70+ point clip. He's 4 or 5 years older than I'd like, but he's incredibly talented and hopefully the heir apparent to Pavel Datsyuk in the elder statesman dominant two way force role. His contract isn't optimal at $10M per, but that's the price you pay for two cups. His possession stats have been off the charts pretty much since he entered the league, but that's likely a product of the boring suck fest 'system' that LA plays and I figure we'll be a bit more creative than that. I'm mostly just interested in his versatility and general indefatigable nature, he'll anchor my first PP and PK and probably play 20+ minutes a night.

I considered a bunch of younger players here (mostly because I'm not keen on anyone on the bad side of the ThinkTank graph*), but fingers crossed he'll buck that trend. And by fingers crossed, I mean please for the love of god buck that trend I don't want a $10M anvil dragging his Jason Allisonesque rear end around the ice for the next decade.

In no way shape or form is he a previously deceased corpse recently reanimated to feast on the flesh of the living. No way, no sir.
