I am open to offers. Please start your offer with a compliment about how great a Red Wings player of your choice is.

Mathieu dandenault is a really nice guy and could play both forward and defense

Holtby and Price are the most defensible ones right now and yeah, you never know when it's gonna be a land rush on goalies and you're still twenty picks away, but it's still reeeeaaally early.

Picoe is wrth 16 p to his team.

Tell me a 1A dman is worth 16 points.

Price rules others drool

This might be a bit of a reach but I'm not spending the year with 40 year olds as my 1d.

So yes, reaching for a dman this year. I can't spell his name at all and I'm not going to try. He's young and on a good contract. Con: He's a Flyer.

I draft Shayne

The Montreal Canadiens need leadership.

The Montreal Canadiens need character.

The Montreal Canadiens need grit.

The Montreal Canadiens need clutch players.

The Montreal Canadiens need winners.

Let's hope he remembers those things.

FBS posted:

I was close to picking Eberle, he's older and I'm worried Edmonton broke him, but now I wish I had taken him more than anything

which is kinda funny, as Saad was probably going to be my pick if you took Eberle.

There's about 3-4 I really want with my next pick, but I'm not sure they'll get to me.

I sent lazerwolf a list of like 18 guys for my next pick

like 2 of them have eben selected since my last pick

I'm very concerned that my picks are going to suck and I'm picking guys way off the board or I'm on to something

Not home and in a rush so give me Brayden Schenn with no real rationale so please mock this pick terribly

stab: Feb 12, 2003; To you from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high

already at the point where I'm throwing darts at the dartboard to get some character guys.

found one on a poo poo team with a poo poo owner

played half a year on a bum ankle which hurts his production, but he's a solid 2c playing as a 1, and even though he looks like he never does anything, he's always good for 50-60 points or so

I didn't even check his salary, watch him torpedo my budget, but gently caress it. character.

And this pick probably sucks but whatever

stab: Feb 12, 2003; To you from failing hands we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high

Time for my lovely pick

I honestly did zero research in who to draft

So I went with "oh yeahhhh I remember this guy!"

Hope he's good, maybe not good enough to me my 2D, but if he isn't, oh well, at least he's not that lovely Vancouver D who can not be named

I am going to make a pick solely to upset stab and no other reason.

Calgary has enough bigness, so its about time we took a bite sized player instead to help balance it out. The Flames will gladly take one David "Breakfast" Desharnais because he is actually a really good middle 6 player and if Im lucky (I wont be) the other player I have in mind will give me a pretty great 3rd line if he slips to me in the next round.

aye doc is a go

mission accomplished

not that I wanted him, but that somebody wasted a pick on him

I feel incredibly dirty making the next pick in my string of poo poo selections.

All I know about this guy is I hate him and he sucks and his team sucks and may his real team burn in a fire of hell and oh god what am I doing

p.s tell me if this is a good pick, poo poo pick or what, also ps, im drafting ALLLLLL the centers

The Burke/Holmgren part of the draft.

That's a compliment in my book for Team Character.

Avec le prochaine selection, le Canadien de Montreal sont fier de selectionne un bon pti joueur Quebecois, un ancien Canadien, que meme avec son age avance a ete capable de marque 30 points et qui va etre un excellent complement sur le deuxieme vague de l'avantage numerique.

Il ya du charactere. Il a gagne la Coupe Stanley (je pense????). Plus il est un quebecois...apart le douchebag Mike Ribeiro, ils ont TOUS du charactere.

As a former owner of a Babcock avatar, I'm so loving mad. I was going to draft him and Abdelkader next cycle. It was going to explain the Pat Maroon pick as a top 6 winger too. Who else will fill this hole now??? What other NHL coach overrates grit and character? NONE I SAY. NONE OTHERS.

Holy sweet Jesus this pairing will get eviscerated.

Also your left and right wings are on the wrong sides and I don't think Koivu has ever in his career played wing (but Schenn has and did most of last season I think)

Also I can't wait to do mid-season check-ups on all you guys and your 19 year-old top line wingers and defenseman because statistically almost none of them are going to be impact players, it just doesn't happen.

Bah that'll be for the coach of Team Character to make the lines pretty

And yeah, i would split those two d guys up with bogo and beauchemin
