Adam Larsson is T-Bone's favourite Devil and for good reason. He's big like giraffe, strong like ox, skate like wind, shoot like cannon, and start in defensive zone like rented mule. At least half of those things must be true or else hfboards morons wouldn't post about how underrated he is and how much they regret having to trade him to get one of the top young wingers in the game. He might play in one of the other two zones this season and bank some pucks off McDavid's shin and then you'll see.

Who can I send a modified list to that is not someone like Brodeuds Nanny who will steal my brilliant idea for a pick.Brodeurs Nanny posted:He's really quite bad, it's absurd how little offensive upside he has considering he went 4th overall. Use him as a PK specialist and you'll be fine His 5v5 scoring rates are better than or on par with Fowler over the last few years but then Fowler also sucks sooo

Well I wasn'tt planning on picking him again never mind like 7 rounds earlier than last year but since you jerks took Provorov and Werenski I guess I have to take the last next great young left defenseman left in Shea Theodore. Hopefully the Ducks manage to dump Fowler and that other lovely guy whose name ends in er and is even worse into the ocean and let Theodore play serious minutes behind Lindholm.

Brodeurs Nanny posted:I don't know anyone who doesn't see both of those two as better prospects. Theodore is a good pick here and I like him plenty, but I know less of what to expect of him at the NHL level, especially defensively. I mean he played actual games in the NHL so other than not putting up a point in the playoffs he had as good of a 19-20 season as a defenseman can have and is a year ahead in development even if his ceiling is lower or whatever.

It's almost as if NHL forwards peak around 24 and defensemen around 27. Two years ago I picked Kadri, Kuznetsov and Draisaitl as centers and everyone laughed but this year they went #155, #40 and #59 so gently caress y'all.

Brodeurs Nanny posted:I was gonna take Gibson until Provorov got picked. I still may regret it and I'm shocked he didn't go way earlier. I think he's gonna be the best of all the Hell/Vasy/Gibson trio Man gently caress off last year when I took Gibson over Vasilevsky you said that you were surprised because Vasilevsky's going to be the better of the two with his elite athleticism.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:Boy is that second d-pair ever a gift for the rest of your division. Scandella is not bad. Savard... no comment. Braun is also a good pick. On the other hand, Andersen is a bad choice and lol at picking Nielsen and Zetterberg to anchor your 3rd line until they're nearly 40 on average.

stab posted:Ive got the worst pick in history ready since ive hosed this team beyone belief but i leave town for the weekend tomorrow morning so hurry up and pick paulocaust I'm sure David Clarkson will still be available. The RECAPITATOR posted:What defense? Rielly is good and Hanifin probably will be too but I'm not sure if they're ready to play 30 minutes every night. Infidel Castro posted:How so? He's not an elite level goalie by any means but he's a solid average NHL starter, which I would expect to get with the 18th goalie selected. Like I said, it was a fallback selection since I was rolling the dice on one of the three guys I mentioned falling back to me. Andersen put up average (last year) and slightly above average (this year) numbers on one of the best defensive teams in the league. Mostly I'm just bitter that the Leafs traded picks for him and signed him for 5 years at an above-market rate for no discernible reason.

T-Bone posted:He is free of the anchor and will again flourish. Severson will receive the bump of all bumps. Larsson's fancirs were nearly 50% without Greene last season whereas Greene's were 41 so uh I'm going to take those results from a shopping 200-odd minutes of play and extrapolate to infinity.

Technetium posted:I disagree? dat HERO chart. But really his fancies are not good and he's likely being carried by Niskanen, although he was good at actual defending in the playoffs. Meanwhile, I picked Dandy Kaiser because his scoring rates are decent and he's a top four defenseman despite having had an off year (like most of the Dead Things). HERO charts say he's bad at possession because his numbers are worse than Mike "Never Seen a Defensive Zone in My Life" Green and his partner. I will ignore that because it's dumb. Also Jordan is skipped and T-Bone can pick twice.

If Hellebuyck and Laine pan out, that team might scrape ahead of the J gimmick team, but probably not. And only because FlyingLemur wasted picks on Jagr and Beagle instead of uhhh Jack Johnson I guess?

Ok I'll take Thomas Hickey again because he has decent fancy stats and high P/60 even away from Tavares. Sure he's only a third pair D behind Leddy and de Haan, but nothing suggests he can't take more minutes until Theodore is ready besides T-Bone's snide comments about his lack of size and speed or whatever. I'm interested in facts, not feelings. Anyway let's look at this stupid garbage team lineup now: Schwartz-Barkov-Hornqvist Pouliot-Little-Jansen Reinhart DeKeyser-Faulk Hickey-Larsson Theodore If Barkov turns into peak Kopitar and Reinhart follows close behind, it could be good. Otherwise, it will be exceptionally average since I drafted mostly two-way forwards without a goalie or great D.

Oliver Bjorkstrand is a young right winger who scores goals. He can learn something about gritty fortitude from his Danish guardian Jannik Hansen while teaching him something about scoring goals from all over the ice and together they will play the same position on different lines, like Lego (R) bricks, which are also from Denmark but not always made there anymore. He was on pace for 25 goals and 50 points last season in 12 games and tore up the AHL playoffs so he's either destined for greatness or mediocrity, but probably a second line spot on the Jackets next to some better players.

Jakub Vrana got injured last season and missed a few months but came back, posted over a PPG in a little under half of his first AHL season, then was second on Hershey in playoff scoring. He is a skilled prospect who can play all three forward positions but will likely end up a winger of higher value than the grindy veterans I considered. He doesn't stand a great chance of making the Capitals right away but we'll see. Most importantly, I took him last year and therefore won't need to sdd another player to my to-follow list.

Lu's recapture penalties are hilarious. Then again, you can pretend that they will apply to the team that originally signed him like in the NHL, so haha, whoever's picking for Vancouver!tofes posted:that sure is a hockey team alright It is a solid mix of good players, hot young centers, players I have no opinions of named Miller, and giant boat anchor contracts.
