Alright, let’s see what random chance gets the Blues !






Team 12 is the Edmonton Oilers!

Tails is their WORST player


This was way more difficult to choose than I thought. I didn’t really think through is worst player by relative to contract, is it just simply whomever sucks the most, etc?

We’re gonna keep it vague and go in between Jack Campbell was very very tempting, but we are going to go with Codi Ceci as worst player with a bad contract for the Oilers.


Blue pick Cody Ceci

It would be a neat wrinkle to randomly choose a number from 1 to 99 until you hit a jersey number of an available player. Although could definitely be a pain in the rear end if RNG wasn't being kind haha.

This was literally going to be my gimmick until the last second. I had to abandon it once I realized it would actually be more time consuming without a full host of goons picking mostly because I think hitting the salary cap would happen quicker than we suspect.

It's hard to run out of cap room normally and with only 16 teams nobody is going to be forced to take the worst contracts so something more like 1.5x would make sense.

I'm still fine with taking over his team and making picks but if the forum would rather consensus him that is okay too.

I'd rather consensus personally than have one person drafting two teams, the results are probably going to be similar anyway and this keeps the draft moving better when he's up

e: Really we should have just removed him entirely, but whatever the picks have been made
