I probably missed it somewhere but are we using a site like yahoo or something like that or am I expected to know how much each player costs against the cap and keep track of that as I draft? Because I know this might be hard to believe with how awesome I am as a poster and stuff but I'm pretty loving dumb about this poo poo in real life.

And most other stuff too.

Now I have to do math? loving gently caress.

I plan on filling my roster with players that are making 1M or less, making it easier for me to stay under the Cap. I'm not worried about actually winning - which is why I took the Ducks. Gonna do Mook proud.

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!

If you post after 10 pm and you don't pick til the next morning you better have the best writeup of the draft when you do choose somebody.

Just checked the rules, didn't see that there. Again - real life happened and I didn't have time to make my pick. I could be a dickbag and wait until 11:59 AM and post my pick but seriously, I'm not that guy.

So for the third round pick, the Anaheim Mighty Ducks of Aneheim select John Carlson

BOOMER, YOU'RE UP


edit: I understand everyone's frustration that it seemed that I was holding poo poo up but it wasn't intentional and I'm not putting enough strategy into this to have anything like "picks in advance".

The mighty ducks of anaheim were out trying to find a new caps button for their keyboard, sorry.

With the pick of this round, the Ducks select Jay Beagle for his work in the community and the fact that ownership thinks he may actually be an adorable dog.

I need some more Defense and I'm sure I will get lambasted for this but I'm picking a guy that looked pretty good in the playoffs on a team that wasn't playing very good. (Keep in mind I am doing this with zero help from any fancy stats whatsoever - as if that wasn't obvious).

The Mighty Ducks select this fine looking young man



Brady Shay...Shea...Skjei? Really? That can't be right


Not being a Rangers fan I don't know if he's really terrible or not but he looked pretty good for what I saw of him, his contract is in my wheel house and hopefully he will get a little better.

Pfffft, why wait until ten when I can waste this pick now?

The Ducks select old rear end center Brian Boyle because he's in a contract year and every time I watch him play he seems to have a timely goal and/or assist. Granted, I only see him play once or twice a year but hey I need some goddamn centers.

So team ShitShowSouthernCalifornia looks like:

Kessel-Eichel-Jagr
Sheary-Boyle-Yakupov
? -? -Rust

J. Carlson - Dumoulin
Skjei - ?
