OK, I'll get in on this. I don't have any particular affinity for any of the unpicked teams but unless anyone objects I'll take Detroit since I cannot possibly be worse than Ken Holland.

I see it as more he's cemented himself as a 60pt guy and isn't likely to move up from there dramatically. With a guy who puts up 60 at 20, you can hope his career trajectory continues up and he'll be an 80pt guy at 22 or 23. With Forsberg you have someone who's been consistently at that point for a few years now and a breakout to that upper echelon of scorers is looking a lot less likely. Nothing wrong with Forsberg as a player, but he's a 2nd tier first line centre.

He's a winger

Who from My Team got picked? (Avs) I also don't follow them, but would like to know because the spreadsheet doesn't know teams... oh wait, Duchence is still with that garbage team. At least he is getting six mil for it.

Mackinnon was the one I counted, I guess it's 2 now with the Duchene pick.

The Detroit Red Wings were missing a key piece: a kinda overpaid player on the wrong side of 30. So we're going to draft Keith Yandle

Hes old and injury prone but I dont care because he can still put up points on lovely teams like Dallas so theres no way his career would fall off a cliff once arriving in New York.

I've already spent almost $50m and I forgot that that doesn't even include Johansen but it seems like the Preds are about to announce his contract so I get to find out exactly how capfucked I am.

There's a guy that I wanted but I don't think I have the cap space so instead:

Detroit Red Wings take Antoine Roussel

Tatar - Johansen - P. Kane
Roussel - Stastny - Voracek

Ellis - Yandle

Saros

As fake GM of the Detroit Red Wings I am contractually obligated to bring in aging vets based on their past glory. Did you know that Scott "Fartsmell" Hartnell had 37 points last year? Me neither. Also, he maybe likes Trump, so he has that in common with a majority of non-disenfranchised Michiganders.

Tatar - Johansen - P. Kane
Roussel - Stastny - Voracek
Hartnell - Lowry - ??

Ellis - Yandle
Goligoski - Demers
