Actually your first round pick has been forfeited due to your predecessor's shenanigans. See you at the end of Round 2.

Oh man, I actually somewhat vote that voting to forfeit Arizona’s first round pick would be pretty in line and funny.

Preemptively warning everyone that I will be missing when my pick comes up due to being at work until 6pm so feel free to skip me.

You can always PM a list of guys to someone who will be around who can pick for you. You could make a list of your top 6 choices and with the way some of these knuckleheads draft out of the gate you can probably get the 3rd or 4th best player in the draft.

Hello to the nation state of SAS, and thank you for hosting.
In 2016 a mistake was made that has haunted me for years. It has served as my definitive proof that the hockey gods are not real and that if Gary Bettman does rig the drafts, he does it very poorly.

But now that mistake will be rectified - and while few would argue that our selection is the #1 player in the league, maybe not even a top 5 in his position, he is the franchise player the Coyotes need and deserve to build around.
He can score goals, he can grow a shoddy mustache, and most importantly, he is the most notable Arizonan to ever play the game:

Welcome home, Auston Matthews

Arizona as a franchise is much more interested in off-ice drama than on-ice success so I applaud this pick :golfclap:

McDavid is a playoff choker anyway and definitely not worth a top 16 pick.

I had a gimmick team in mind but then saw I was picking second and had a chance to draft this guy so I'm going to be very boring and do it

From one hell hole to another, welcome to Florida Connor McDavid!

The Dallas Stars also get the chance to correct a mistake from a few years ago, it's not too often that you get a 2nd chance to acquire a potentially generational talent that you passed on in the entry draft but we will do just that right now by selecting Cale Makar.

I entered into this draft hoping to get Makar as my first selection and when I got awarded the 3rd pick I was obviously quite excited :)

The Chicago Blawkhawks are proud to draft, without asking for permission or consent, Nathan MacKinnon.

He has good numbers and numbers must go up. A gimmick can start much later I assume, not passing on this opportunity for now.

Well you should try your best to draft a team that complies with the cap in the spirit of the draft, but if you go over it's not the end of the world..

It's actually really hard to go over the cap unless you intentionally draft bad contracts as a gimmick

I'm gonna be really interested to see if this draft skews as heavily towards prospects/youth as it has in the past given how relatively weak the prospect pool feels/how hosed up the junior and lower leagues have been the last 2 years
It seems harder to get a grasp on what's coming up in the pipeline, at least for me

yeah to be clear my understanding the clock hasn't started yet on anyone - people just made some picks in advance to get the ball rolling

You can't jump mentholmoose until the clock actually starts tomorrow morning at 10 EST and he gets his 2 hours to make his pick.. I expect he will be pretty on the ball, he is running the draft ;)

Heh you’d think that, but I forgot entirely until you PM’d me.

I’ll take a good center, Leon Draisaitl.
