Well I feel like ruining an Eastern team this year so sign me up for the Boston Bruins.

Awesome. I was afraid I'd have to actually do some work at work this summer.

Fourth pick, nice. I shouldn't have to make a tough decision for at least a few more days.

The Boston Bruins, known league-wide for conservative and well-regarded draft choices, select C Auston Matthews.

Last season was the first time Ovie looked old and I'm not surprised to see people like Laine go before him.

I'm not being critical, I'm excited. Laderhan is a man(?) after my own heart.

I say you need to use this phrase with every pick or else it doesn't count.

I spent way too much time deciding to pick Jeff Carter.

# ¿ Jul 16, 2017 23:20

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I'm going to go ahead and repeat my third round selection from last year with Dustin Byfuglien.

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I was waffling between Carter and Kopitar for a while but man, if he doesn't bounce back that contract is going to be so awful. Plus I've got to pay Matthews in a couple years.

Everybody remaining sucks at this point so you don't have to worry about making good selections with your picks any more.

This part blew my mind last year, how quickly the well known talent disappears in only a few rounds.

Whoops this pick kind of snuck up on me. I'll take Ondrej Palat.

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I'm tempted to take another forward but instead I'm going to select D Damon Severson in the hopes that he can score decently if he's not on the Devils.

This is a hot new take about things but I've heard that Goalies Are Voodoo.

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I'm going to go all-in on the supposed goalie coaching witchcraft powers of Benoit Allaire and select G Antti Raanta.

# ¿ Jul 23, 2017 20:33

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

There are a lot of reasons to pick this player, from his fancy stats to his contract to his flexibility, but the only reason that matters is the huge man-crush I have on him.

Mathieu Perreault

take me you ANIMAL posted:

Did not know matty P was still available.

I was worried about losing him after picking Raanta but this is almost exactly where he went last year.

Imagine if he ever plays a full season at some point!

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I feel like taking a bad contract for a player I don't really like because I need a LHD so gimme Dion Phaneuf.

There's plenty of bad LHD on bad contracts, you didn't need to rush out to pick one right away.

I'm not really going to defend this pick other than to say I made it on my lunch break and I had a brief panic about the cap floor when I looked at the Picks By Team tab.

# ¿ Jul 26, 2017 19:19

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I'm picking Ryan Hartman in the hopes he can maintain his rookie scoring rate indefinitely.

Tyler Myers

He had almost the entire year off from his surgery plus that stuff with his baby so we're all praying he's all better this season.

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

I've been looking for somebody to pair with Byfuglien so before my pickings get any slimmer I'm going to take Brayden McNabb.

I might have picked Comeau instead of Read if I wasn't so worried (still) about the cap floor. :v:

OH god we aren't done yet. I've got four picks to make? Is it a dick move to make them all at once?

Anyway I'll make my selections in a few minutes if I can find anybody

# ¿ Aug 16, 2017 01:14

FBS: Apr 27, 2015; The real fun of living wisely is that you get to be smug about it.

In no particular order:

Tanner Kero
Cal Clutterbuck
Jake Bean
Devante Smith-Pelly

edit: I guess it looks something like this -

Palat - Matthews - Stempniak
Perreault - Carter - Hartman
Jankowski - Pageau - Read
Smith-Pelly - Petan - Clutterbuck
Kero

McNabb - Byfuglien
Phaneuf - Severson
Claesson - Braun
Bean

Raanta
Bernier

Coach: Quenneville

that bottom nine is probably entirely interchangeable but hey, flexibility is almost as good has heart and grit

I'm not really sure why people are selecting extra players? And I've never played EHM and I have no idea how to optimize lineups for sim performance so I won't try. I do find it amusing that I have one left wing and seven centers.
