The Los Angeles Kings would first like to congratulate the Pittsburgh Penguins for the last Cup they'll ever win in franchise history. With the second overall pick, Los Angeles is proud to select Connor "4real" McDavid. CONNOR McDAVID Position: Center Age: 19 Cap Hit: $925,000 McJesus serves as this franchise's foundation as an undisputed #1 center. At 19, he makes the Kings competitive today, tomorrow, and forever. And thanks to terrific labor laws, we only have to pay him a cool million, giving us room in later rounds to spend insane amounts of cash where it really matters: on 37 year old grinders and third pairing functionally-immobile shutdown defensemen. Last season, lil ConCon showed the world that he's the best player to ever grace planet earth and he only played 45 loving games, y'all. He already won the Calder on his path to winning every NHL trophy in existence, including a Vezina at age 48 when he returns from retirement as a goaltender for the NHL's latest expansion team, the Seattle Grinding Frasiers. In the present, Connor is excited to join our make believe franchise where he will no longer have to play in a frozen tundra of sadness. He's stoked to come to Cali where he can continue to work on his surfing form.  IT'S CONNOR

Not that he's overpaid or anything, but I think his contract looks better than it is only because he turned down inflated UFA offers.

Yeah, Draisaitl could've gone lower but I liked the dumb symmetry with McDavid and it wasn't too wild of a pick. My third and fourth lines will have higher cap hits than my first and second, and it will be glorious.

ThinkTank posted:I was flipping through my girlfriend's yearbook the other day and discovered that she went to high school with both Taylor Hall and Ryan Ellis. She had some idea that they went onto play hockey, but had no idea they were any good. Apparently Taylor Hall was exactly as big a douche as he seems and would regularly change in the hallway for some reason and was a giant show off. Also he'd apparently try (and fail) to date multiple women at once because he thought he was the poo poo. Ryan Ellis was apparently completely invisible. Neither of them graduated. I meant starting line-up as in 18 skaters/2 goalies (and not the 23 we're drafting), in which case drafting a nonexistent dude would gently caress my roster completely. Like, obv starting lineup was the wrong choice of words in hindsight, but also, I'm an idiot.

Jordan7hm posted:Matt Murray went two rounds ago. There's no chance he was going to come back around. I mean, I'm mostly giving you poo poo out of my own ignorance of who that guy is. That said, I think a lot of goalie picks are way too early but I also think the league has a ton of serviceable goalies.

gently caress, I wanted Mike Green. He's the only worthwhile defenseman on that poo poo team and I feel like his numbers would be higher if any of the dudes he passed to could actually bury a puck.

Detroit's paying Johan Franzen $4m/year to sit on LTIR for the next 12 years or something. I'm sure Zetterberg will go that way too.

Huh. I guess I'll take Henrik Zetterberg. I've got a young, inexpensive team right now so I'm not worried about his age or contract. He can't carry a line anymore but I imagine he'd still be productive alongside any of the centers I have and he has ~intangibles~ as a leader and Conn Smythe/Cup winner. And when he inevitably dies of boneitis, I'll just throw him on LTIR forever. Drouin-McDavid- Silfverberg-Draisaitl- Zetterberg-Nielsen- Muzzin-Niskanen edit: whoops forgot I also had Silfffffverberg. i am the bird fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Jul 19, 2016 |

Good Soldier Svejk posted:This is tentatively my favorite team, I think. There's a lot to like here though Nielsen's contract is way too long and your second pairing is weak. It's definitely going to be a defense by committee. I also don't have a goalie so this could turn disastrous. My missing 1st line winger is also going to be a hilariously dumb pick if one of my couple choices is available in two rounds.
