Rakell is significantly better than who you originally had, though.

I get that there isn't really a rule against it, but personally I dislike people changing their picks after posting and updating the spreadsheet.

i cant possibly see a reason to discourage it. once the person after you locks in, i figure thats where you should draw the line

Horvat's fancies suck too but hopefully that's just a product of being on the Canucks and his offensive stats have gone up each year he's been in the league which is promising

horvat's fancies suck because all he knows how to do is produce offense. shockingly, defensive talent doesnt translate from jrs to pro

mikael backlund

i dont really need another centre but im also not just leaving this guy here. cheap (though needs an extension), makes everyone around him way better and is pretty good defensively. im sure ill find some wingers somewhere

edit: I typed "backlund" "mikael" "bakl" "$3,575" and refreshed the spreadsheet cause i was sure he had been picked

I really like the structure of your team so far.

thanks!

tkachuk - backstrom - x
x - bergeron - x
x - backlund - x

slavin - x
x - tanev

average goalie
hotshot prospect

originally i wanted more offense but a bunch of players i value fell far enough that i didnt want to pass up on like, bergeron in the second round, so here we are. its gonna end being a team that really relies on one D and one C per pairing, which is fine by me. backstrom is the only worldbeater i have though so hopefully he can do all the scoring thats not done by committee

^ ....Maybe better than the actual Habs I guess? lol

yeah i was trying to decide between miller and marchessault and figured marchessault was more likely to be nabbed this round

I feel like we might be overvaluing youth and budget a bit much in this draft.

Proof of which is I just got Joe Thornton, still an extremely good player, in the 8th round.

Ovechkin - Thornton - Pavelski
? - Hertl - ?
? - Keller - ?

Rielly - Muzzin

Allen

hes still literally a first line centre which is hilariously good value at this point no matter what he costs

gonna take Artturi Lehkonen with pick #1 and Sven Andrighetto with #2. lehkonen is probably going to consistently have more goals than assists throughout his entire career so he'll probably fit well with backstrom and i think andrighetto finally figured it out and signed a pretty good short term contract

we've picked 116 dmen so realistically there are maybe a few 4s left, a bunch of 5s? yeah i guess thats ok.

hamhuis might have been a 4ish this year but i mean next year he might not be able to skate

also man the forwards have mostly been picked in order of quality with some balancing for youth and such but the defencemen are kind of a mess

so this is what i've got so far, i guess

Lehkonen - Backstrom - Marchessault
Tkachuk - Bergeron - Andrighetto
Ritchie - Backlund - Maroon


Slavin - x
Tanev - y
Zaitsev - z

tkachuk is a better player than lehkonen, but lehkonen is basically a future 69 goal scorer so he should probably have the best playmaker. im gonna have a tough time filling out the defence in a way that i'm going to be happy with, though

Time for my next pick to pack his bags yet again, as defenceman Adam Clendenning is heading to Philadelphia.

Really the only knock on him is he'll turn 25 shortly after the season starts and only has 81 games under his belt. However he's a great skater and has the fancystats of a top-4 guy when he's actually given a shot to play. You can do a hell of a lot worse for a 3rd pairing guy on the right side.

huh? hes one of the worst skaters ive ever seen. you're right that he's a perfectly capable player, but the dude basically lives in quicksand
