Only 6 more to go. And one to replace Boomer when he drops out after the first round.

FBS posted:This is intriguing but I know myself better than to commit to something like this on a whim. Yes, those are the only two things that happen if you pick a piss team. The only real issue is commitment. This isn't really fantasy sports because at the end of the day there's no objective measure of success. It's all very subjective, and the emphasis is really on the process of selection and player assessment, rather than the team you end up with.

FBS posted:Does the two hours star running as soon as the previous team makes a pick, or does everybody have a two-hour scheduled block of time to submit their pick? It's based on when the previous pick is made, and pauses for certain hours overnight. Keeps things flowing pretty well, last year things moved at a good pace.

ThinkTank posted:First overall pick is a curse in these things. Ovie's a better choice than Hall, but I know who I'm taking at that spot. Yeah Ovie is a fine choice, and like VJeff says you have to take him here if you want him, cuz he's not coming around. I'd still take one of two centers though, or possibly even a D.

Menamino posted:I have Joel Joel's list that he sent to me a few days ago, I asked him last night if he still wanted me to stick with it but haven't heard from him. I pick after him so I could knock out 2 picks back to back but didn't wanna move forward until I was sure it was kosher still Do it. Yeah Karlsson Crosby and McDavid should have been 1-3. Not sure in what order.

The Caroline Hurricanes are proud to select Dougie Hamilton.  He's got a rare combination of size (6'6) and skill (21st in defensive scoring over the past two seasons, consistently strong possession stats) and is one of very few defensemen able to jump into the NHL and play meaningful minutes as a teenager. He's turning 23 this season and is locked up for another e: the talent deficit is up, then T-Bone, then we loop back around. Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Jul 7, 2016 |

Last year Eichel went 25th, and I figure that's probably comparable to this pick. The Carolina Hurricanes select Patrik Laine.  The 6'4 winger has drawn comparisons to Alexander Ovechkin and Corey Perry for his combination of size, skill, and shooting prowess. He's had a hell of a year. He announced himself with a bang at the WJC, putting up 13 points in 7 games en route to a gold medal, followe by a Jari Kurri Trophy as the Liiga playoff MVP, and capping his season off with 12 points in 10 games at the World Cup, where he also won the awards for MVP and best forward. I'm not sure if building around a star winger is the right move (cough Washington cough), but considering age, current ability, and potential, I couldn't let Laine go by.

Getzlaf had his worst sh% in years and is probably going to have a big bounce back year and get back up to 70 pts. A really good pick.

Soooooo I dunno what Veskit's deal is, but it's been 2 hours so I'm picking. I doubt I'm taking the guy he wants anyway. With the third pick of the draft, the Carolina Hurricanes select Brendan Gallagher.  Gallagher is a little sparkplug, at only 5'9. His size makes it easy to overlook the progress he's made since coming into the league as a 20 year old, but he's become a legitimate first line winger. He's one of the most prolific shooters in the league (13th in s/60 last year, 7th this year) and he's starting to see his assist rate climb too. He attacks the net fearlessly, has superb possession stats, and draws a ton of penalties due to his style of play. He's also on an amazing contract, at only 3.75 for the next 5 seasons.

Carolina selects Rasmus Ristolainen. I'm clearly going for a young team here, so let's pick another big defenseman to build around. Rasmus is 6'4 and coming off a season where he put up 41 points and played nearly 2100 minutes (25+ minutes / night). Yeah, his possession stats weren't very good, but he's a 21 year old being asked to anchor a really lovely team's defense, and his usage stats indicate that he was very much relied on to be the defensive guy with very heavy defensive zone usage and a high quality of competition. Putting some context into those usage stats: In the history of tracking time on ice there have been only four seasons where a player 21 or younger played 2000+ minutes, and Rasmus has one of them (the other are EK, Phaneuf and Doughty). He played the 15th most ES ice time among all defenders this season. At 21. The numbers underlying his scoring stats indicate that he hasn't reached his peak (he's had below average on ice shooting) and his own shot generation (2.46 s / game last year) means that he could have a serious breakout season if some puck luck goes his way. His contract is up this summer which puts him in an interesting position. If I had to guess, Buffalo will try to lock him down to something between what Seth Jones got last summer, and what Ekblad got this summer. Somewhere in the 44-50 million / 8 year range. This puts me at: Laine (6'4) - ? - Gallagher (5'9) ? - Hamilton (6'6) ? - Ristolainen (6'4)

Veskit posted:I hear you, but I think a better defenseman will only be incrementally beneficial, and cost 4-5 million more. Dumba isn't under contract though, so I'm confused. He's an RFA right now, his contract was up this season. He's almost certainly going to cost substantially more than 850k.

Also it's taken Rielly 3 seasons to produce what Vlasic did in 4. Vlasic doesn't really have much offensive upside despite this past season. He had previously only cracked the 25 point barrier twice.
