From 2013... Tarasenko at 203 and Pageau at 458, Palat and Savard extremely late... very good. Too bad about the rest of that draft.

Gonna have to look at some old drafts when I'm at a computer. I'm sure some of mine were bad. Last year was good on paper but the sim hated my team.

Rangers let me go as GM after last years spectacular draft so I need a new team to ruin in hilariously inept fashion.

Hawks and Flames wont take me back but gently caress them anyway. All my new friends are in Jersey. :scott:

My 2013 one is also that way. First four picks: Lundqvist, Chara, MSL, Weiss lol.

I can't stop laughing at that team. I must have been drunk or doing a gimmick team.

i would do this again (I think I did the first 2 or 3 of these) but I'm hitting the high seas for a 3 week cruise in August..

and given my recollection of how these things went in the past, we will not be done by August.. when are you planning on starting anyways?

Soon I guess? Maybe next week if we can fill it out or we decide to have people take double duty?

It looks like last year it took us around five weeks to finish the draft. We went from like July 12th-August 20th.

I peaked early because I'll never repeat the unstoppable illness of my 2013 team:

Schwartz - Giroux - Kucherov
Killorn - Johansen - Pominville
Panik - Eller - Williams
Ritchie - Jarnkrok - Stempniak
McDonald - Thompson - Yakupov

Hedman - Hamilton
Vlasic - Orlov
Marincin - Klein
Gormley - Fayne

Jones
Kuemper
Backstrom

Yeah okay Fayne and Klein's demise is unfortunate and Yakupov was a terrible third round pick, but you can't beat #847 overall Nikita Kucherov and this awesome squad with a >$80M cap hit counting 11F 4D 2G.
