Klingberg was actually giving OEL a run for his money at #20.

Oliver's a better two-way player and I was wary that John's fancy stats were way too inflated by playing on the Stars so OEL won out.

i'll trade you klingberg for oel and a 9th round pick if you are having second thoughts. let me know

do we still have the rule that if you pick a player that's already been chosen you get to repick but the next person up gets to pick immediately? i think that was a good rule

on one hand he's still a really effective center who will likely continue to produce at a top line rate

on the other hand he's ryan getzlaf
