Ok, so here is what we are going to do.

We all know general managers are all terrible and really only succeed by random luck.

So let’s put this to the test.

Every pick I will randomly generate a number 1-32. That is the team I pick from in alphabetical order (as teams are taken I re roll if it comes up with a prior team).

I will then also flip a coin.
Heads: I take the BEST player I feel is on the team
Tails: I take the WORST player I feel is on the team

It is only through random chance that most NHL teams succeed, and therefore this should be the best way to determine a team.








Team 27: Tampa
Coin flip: Heads


The Blues select: Kucherov

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

Ok, so how this will go is I’ll have to just pick when free, work was busy, and I’ll be on vacation but in a different time zone.


I got number 13: Florida Panthers

I got Tails: worst choice.


Marc Staal would have been the obvious choice. Colin white has bad stats so I’m taking whomever the hell he is.


Colin White - Larkin - Kucherov

I'm not letting you get away with that. Brendan Smith is their worst player. Vanecek, despite his bad playoff performance, was pretty solid most of the season. Smith is just old and bad.

Just saw this. I have 4 hours before my next flight, is the consensus I switch to Brendan Smith ? Legit I don’t care about cap, I don’t care about structure , I just care about picking the worst or best player. Will switch if authorized to.

I’m bored at the airport for a layover, so I am posting my next random number generator. I was going to then wait, but it came up tails so I’ll make my post in advance since I’m on a plane for 6 hours.

That said :

Pick 16: Montreal !

Tails: Bad !


Therefore I’m gonna make a pick in advance of whenever the heck I am next up.

The Blues pick Chris Wideman. He’s really bad right ?

24 is San Jose

Tails is bad.


Blackwood being just signed or what are in San Jose was tempting, but I gotta go Vlasic, the contract is just awful and I’ll probably need it to hit whatever cap floor anyway.


I’ve hit a lot of tails lately, this is not intentional.

I thought being limited to one player per team would make this easy but holy hell, I never actually looked at some of the NHL team rosters. poo poo is dire in some cases.

Taking former Barrie Colt Andreas Athanasiou because good lord Chicago's available roster is not good.

Dude I’ve been having issues figuring out who to pick whether I get the best player or worst player.

25 = Seattle

Heads = good !


We’re gonna go with a prospect since I haven’t picked on yet, plus Seattle has one of the best potential ones in Shane Wright. So Blues are taking Wright and hoping that Hakstol doesn’t ruin his career.

So re: Wright, this is another question on the rules. I thought prospects were players who were not going to be lineup regulars, and we had to specify whether or not they were prospects or not by that metric. I drafted Cooley as a regular, not as a prospect, because I think he's ready to play a regular top 9 role in the lineup next year.

Gotta give a disclaimer and give it that I def did not read the rules beyond “one pick from each team.”

This is an easy one. Worst player currently on the hurricanes, and a truly horrible person to boot.

I needed a Columbus pick and Babcock seems to be interested in turning his personality around. He has an undeniable history of winning as a coach. I think we can leave the "this guy is a BAD PERSON trademark copyright" out of a dumb fun draft.

Yeah, for sure , and if I came off being too negative my apologies there.
