I don't really care about this but since you need people I guess give me the Oilers.

It's okay, the draft order has already been set. I saw it in my dreams. I picked 8th. Who cares where the other teams were picking.

Top pick is easy because you just say "Connor McDavid"

No, you're required to go off the board with the 1st overall pick. No McDavid, no Crosby. Have to select somebody who's great, but not amazing.

My plan was to draft Connor McDavid then Kris Russell. I think I'll have to throw that plan out the window now.

The Jets (and by extension picks 13 and 50 & onwards) would like to swap spots with somebody near the end of the first round, if they're interested.

I said this in the Discord, but I'll swap picks (25/38 onward) with you. Just posting so everybody else knows.

welp, I have too many choices and don't know who to pick.

I might as well just pick the guy who I think is the second best D in the league, and turn the Oilers into a defensive juggernaut. Welcome to Edmonton Victor Hedman.

I have my top pairing LHD in Hedman, so I'm going to complete my top pairing by selecting my first RHD, John Klingberg. He's only 24 with a good contract and even though he had a bit of a rough year last season, he still managed to produce 49 points, and I'm sure he'll bounce back and do very well this upcoming season.

I think we need to do something about Arabian Jesus before the next round gets too deep. My suggestion - highest scoring forward and defenseman available under 30.

Kessel and Jultz, then, if everybody else agrees?

For here on out I'd just do some back and forth of highest scoring available Forward or Defenseman still available until he shows up or doesn't unless we find a taker.

That seems fine to me.

What's gonna happen when he has ten picks and hits the cap hit already?

We'll bend the guidelines (highest point F/D) as necessary to make sure to try and avoid that from happening.

e: Also I just added Phil Kessel as LA's first pick since that seems to be agreed upon. I do agree with Svejk and think Keith would be better than Jultz, so if anybody else can chime in on this that'd be great.

Sounds good to me. Want to give him one more day or the end of this round to make it even?

It's best just to do it as soon as possible. I'll preemptively put his picks into the spreadsheet and if he somehow comes on today then he can make his own selections. Else he gets Kessel and Keith for sure.

Also Boomer the Cannon is up, he has until 10:58 AM EST. Followed by Aye Doc and T-Bone. Make sure to PM your picks (preferably to corn) if you know you won't be around tomorrow morning/afternoon so we can keep this thing rolling.

He seemed as dominant as ever last year when he was actually playing. And his skating is so good that even losing some of it would still have him being a great dman.

But yeah the whole made of glass thing is a bit of a concern.

If I thought Letang was going to stay healthy, I would have gone for him over Klingberg. Then again, if I thought Letang was going to stay healthy, somebody else would've thought that too and picked him way earlier (late 1st/early 2nd).

Well, I had three players in mind coming into this pick. The main one (Ehlers) is gone but I still have two other players to pick from.

Y'all probably think I'm crazy, selecting yet another defenseman, but I love this guy and he's just going to keep getting better. The Oilers, completing the Swedish trio, select Oscar Klefbom.

It's maybe a tiny bit early for him, but Ginette has two picks before I go again and took him in the fourth round last year. I'm taking Matt Murray.

I know Yaya was also looking at taking him this round so I think it's about the right time. A 23 year old goalie who's won the Cup twice and is on a very cheap contract (relative to performance) is a good pick at this stage.

He's better than hank and probably better than Murray as a known quantity. I'm not trying to knock Murray but he's still young enough to go either way.

Fight me.


E- price is better (when not broken). Murray is close. Holtby as good maybe a bit better, but sucks in the playoffs. If I had to I'd rank em: Price, Holtby/Bob, then Murray. There's another in there I'd be tempted to take after Bob and before Murray but rules and all.

Braden Holtby, career playoffs: 29-30, 2.01 GAA, 0.930 Sv%, 4 SO
Sergei Bobrovsky, career playoffs: 3-10, 3.63 GAA, 0.887 Sv%, 0 SO

Every year I pick the Jets to be good and every year they disappoint me but I think maybe this is their year.

Then again Dallas looks good too, who comes out? Minnesota?

I think Minnesota will be fine, Boudreau's always good at getting his teams to perform well in the regular season. However, I could see St. Louis missing out and maybe Chicago too.

e: Not to mention San Jose, which could give the Central another wild card team.

alright, i'll take jaccob slavin and edit: changed this matt tkachuk

i can fill out the spreadsheet in a bit. kinda surprised the hockey hipsters in this thing let slavin fall this far

well thats a lot of cap flexibility moving forward

Slavin is a very good pick, and if I couldn't get Klefbom I would've gotten Slavin instead.
