So that means we got a full roster right? Maybe set a random draft order sometime soon and then start the draft sometime mid next week?

If we start before next weekend can someone take a list from me for my first couple picks? yeah you can PM me a shortlist if you won't be around, I'll be following the draft and don't pick until 25th in the first so if you or anyone else won't be around I'm down to help keep things moving

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

No write-ups since I'm waiting for my car to finish being inspected on 5% battery life, but the highest guy left on Joel's list is Jamie benn And since my guy is left here I'll go with a homer-y yet solid value pick and take my man John Tavares I feel like the linemate of a recent pick will go next, and could be argued as a better value than Tavares, but I'll go with my heart and start my team of intangible havers here.

yeah the pace seems fine, if we stick to the window system and move on after 2 hours have passed we'll still get through the first round in about the same time as last year probably e: which means furnaceface can pick in 8 minutes if the previous pick isn't made

Ginette Reno posted:Don't think Tavares is much of a homer pick. He's still young and really damned good. i am the bird posted:Tavares is on an insanely good contract, too. Yeah I agree with both of these thoughts. There's just a very similar player to him out there in both skill and contract that some could argue should be picked higher, however we on Long Island value character and intangibles and feel Tavares brings these a bit more than that other guy. I also have a lot more Tavares gifs than I do of the other fella, here, have some    I don't have any gifs of the series winner against Florida, but don't worry, I do watch this video of it fairly regularly as well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgV2_CLMd1s

a lot of good picks recently, all guys that I had in mind for this round. I like a few guys a lot here and just like Tavares/Seguin in round 1 I'm equally torn between 2 similar players this round. I'm gonna go with the younger guy on the ELC so I can overspend like crazy later on and take Nikita Kucherov here. JoelJoel is up

alright so I picked Marchand because he'd be a really good winger for Tavares for a few reasons. Mostly because he's good without the puck and with a puck hog like Tavares that's important. Dude had 37 goals last year and while his previous best was 28 it doesn't seem too fluky as he actually shot below his career shooting percentage on the season (14.8 vs 15). He just shot the puck a hell of a lot more than he ever has before and that seems easier to repeat going forward. I also appreciate the agitating shithead aspect that he brings to a line. And then there's the fancies:  so his shot suppression (and generation) would be really really good with Tavares as JT generates shots like few others but can give up quite a few as well. I'd probably break up the top line of Marchand - Tavares - Kucherov and put Kucherov on the second line as I think he can carry a line on his own when he's hot but it'd be really cool to see those guys play together for a full season.

I'll take Chris Tanev, there are sexier picks out there and more points available but I figure I'll need someone who can actually play defense with really good fancies on a solid contract JoelJoel is up

I'm gonna take Nikolaj Ehlers. No idea how to gauge this guy's value but since dudes like Drouin are starting to go I figured he'd be up soon too. was torn on him or some more established players but decided to go with him cuz I like really fast dudes with good shots. It also allows me to continue fulfilling my dream of surrounding John Tavares with fast skaters who can gain the zone rather than throw the puck to him in the neutral zone and stand around hugging the boards watching while he gets swarmed by 4 dudes like back in the Matt Moulson days of his youth. Plus Ehlers actually had a decent rookie year with solid fancy stats (and a low sh%) so I expect him to have a strong second season. It also allows me to bump Kucherov down to the second line and as I watched him carry a line singlehandedly in the postseason I know he's capable of dealing with it Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers - - Kucherov Tanev tofes and then Furnaceface are up next

i'll take Derick Brassard to be my 2C. Put up a 27g 31a 58p line last year with 60 points the year before so he's settling in to be a very solid second line player who would presumably produce even better playing next to nikita kucherov. JoelJoel is up

Yeah I'm surprised he made it back to me too, 60ish points in today's nhl is really good second line production so I figured he'd be gone a round or 2 ago

i'll take Mike Cammalleri Guy produces everywhere he goes, even on the Devils. Gets hurt every year but in this fantasy world my owner is willing to spend on top of the line training facilities and smoothies to keep Cammy in the lineup for 70+ games. Maybe. Good fancies too  that rounds out my top 6 of Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers Cammalleri - Brassard - Kucherov Tanev gently caress defense, my team will be entertaining no matter what tofes is up

uh I'll take Mike Ribiero because he's still a productive scorer (50 in 81 last year despite shooting 5% under his career average) and apparently he has really great fancies he should be a really reliable third line center for the squad JoelJoel is up

i'll take Jeff Petry, Montreal fans seem to like him and his fancies are top pairing quality so I feel like even if he's not quite that good he'll be fine on a second pairing for me Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers Cammalleri - Brassard - Kucherov Ribiero - Tanev - Petry tofes is up

i'll take Ryan Pulock Only 21 years old and already has shown a really high offensive IQ and has an accurate 105 mph slapper. He should get a lot of time on the PP this year and I expect him to put up a nice point total, Jack Capuano notwithstanding Also gives my pretend team a powerplay that I really like with a lot of dangerous shooters, could line up something like Marchand - Tavares - Kucherov Cammalleri - Pulock It would probably give up a few shorties but they'd be ripping so many sweet one timers I don't even care JoelJoel is up

Brodeurs Nanny posted:Love Pulock, but you know he's a defenseman yes? Uhh yeah, that's why he's playing one of the points I figured Cammalleri could handle the other one cuz I'd rather maximize offense on the powerplay instead of putting a guy like tanev there I'm confused, where did I give the indication that I didn't know the position of one of the best prospects the team I follow plays

I'm not able to check the sheet right now so i'll just pick off a short list of guys who I know for sure are still available and keep another islander player in Anders Lee good fancies, generates a lot of shots as a good forechecker, has already scored 25 goals, fairly young, big dude, high truculence levels, etc Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers Cammalleri - Brassard - Kucherov Lee - Ribiero Tanev Petry Pulock now tofes is up

Brodeurs Nanny posted:Bummer. Really wanted Lee. Your offense is awesome thanks, I know my defense is gonna wind up being pretty underwhelming overall but if I can at least build 3 quality forward lines that can control possession plus one guy on each D pair that's trustworthy I feel like the team would be a pretty fun one to watch at the very worst

you guys move fast in the morning, sorry i'll take Leo Komarov I thought he was a winger but nhl.com says he's a center so that's official enough for me to put him in as my fourth line center. Has fancies are pretty good, borderline first liner at least on shot suppression, and put up a 19g/17a/36p line in 67 games so he should provide some scoring upside while being able to be a plus on the possession side plus last year my best pick was Lee Stempniak late so I'm hoping the trend of Le- dudes blowing up will continue. If it does, you're welcome, toronto fans joeljoel is up

Technetium posted:He's only played wing in the NHL really. He's better as a winger than a center because of his hard forechecking ways of being a living target seeking missile. I thought so too, I'll probably wind up playing him at wing too but at least the old center designation gives a little wiggle room if need be

I guess it's about time that I took a goalie before every single one is gone so I'll take Jaroslav Halak i was counting on Barzal to be my third line RW so he could be sheltered for his first season in the league and round out my top 9 but I still feel pretty good about it overall Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers Cammalleri - Brassard - Kucherov Lee - Ribiero - - Komarov - Tanev Petry Pulock Halak tofes is up

yeah I had ward on my radar too, as said before his possession stats are kinda mediocre though so that made me bump him down a bit. If he lasted a bit longer I wouldn't have had any issue taking him for 4th line duties though, he's a useful guy to have around

i'll take Clarke MacArthur Last season was lost for him because he got concussed early on and by the time he was ready to play Ottawa was basically done. But it seems like he's recovered well and most Ottawa fans I see are fairly confident he'll get back into the lineup to start the year and are penciling him into their top 6. hey, it's pick #427 so you're basically stuck with mediocre old guys and questionable prospects at this point so I'd rather take the guy who has really good fancies year in and year out and bank on him being healthy enough to put in 60 games of really good play. He'll be on my third line so I can absorb a potential re-hot braining and not have my offense fall apart. I figure I can move Anders Lee to RW because he mostly plays in front of the net anyway and probably wouldn't be affected much by playing on his off wing and have MacArthur play on his natural side. that leaves the current squad at something like Marchand - Tavares - Ehlers Cammalleri - Brassard - Kucherov MacArthur - Ribiero - Lee Komarov Streit - Tanev Petry Pulock Halak the defense is obviously a bit light but I feel like Tanev and Petry are both very reliable in their own zone and Streit can still move the puck well if nothing else. They'll be helped by having three offensive lines that are both really good on the fancies front and at actually scoring, so they basically have to just play soundly in their own end and get the puck into the neutral zone. At least in theory. And Halak is Halak, he won't win a Vezina anytime soon but he's been slightly above average for essentially his whole career so I feel comfortable with him. Although I'd like to get another goalie who could potentially play 30+ games with Halak's injury history.

He has the second-highest Fenwick against/60 of defensemen who played more than 1000 minutes in the last two seasons, behind only Ristolainen. Next you're going to tell me that Marcus Kruger has a good contract.
