Hmm, no chance of bullying any more people to get up to 16 at least?

Wow, Toronto erasure already?

Since you said I was picking third, the Toronto Arenas will select Nathan MacKinnon. The cornerstone of a Cup-winning franchise is a team leader who can inspire his linemates to eat a healthy diet and engage in at least 150 minutes of moderately intense cardiovascular exercise and 2 days of strength training per week.

Actually, it occurs to me that if we're sticking with the IRL cap, we might have to actually pay attention to cap numbers while compressing the league in half.

Wouldn't it just be double with 16 teams?

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.

This was a tough call because I hate his stupid punchable face and he had a slightly down season but I'm going to take Charlie McAvoy.

After considerable consideration, I'm going to take Nico Hischier and hope that Nate Mac teaches him to score in the playoffs.

New retroactive rule, the first person to break the one per team rule has to take two from Arizona.

Toronto selects Andrei Svechnikov, who will hopefully score 40 instead of busting his knee or whatever.

Oh right, I'm supposed to go again.

Well, I should probably take a defenseman or a goalie (voodoo bullshit) but I'm going to take Alex Tuch instead.

Tronna needs D and finally takes one in local boy Vince Dunn. Will he score 60+ again? Dunno, but he makes my last two picks Vince Carter.

Also got a pick for Consensus cause this guy has slid way too far and I don't think stab is taking him: Devon Toews

Tronna is:

Verhaeghe-MacKinnon-Tuch
Svechnikov-Hischier

Dunn-McAvoy

Lots to think about on the board but I'm going to take a surprisingly good RW/C on a terribad team (get it?) in Troy Terry and hope the arbitrator weighs this past season more heavily than the previous one.

Ginette is skipped so I'm going to go ahead and take Marcus "The Other" Pettersson, who has apparently become a top pairing defenseman.

As much as it pains me to take a forward over 30 (barely) from a team that has lots of other players I'd like to pick, Phil Danault makes for a great 3C.

I'm overwhelmed by choice. Well, as much as I don't like contracts that span to the 2030s, I'll take Erik Cernak, who is big and nasty but also good enough at hockey that his absence allowed the Leafs to win a playoff series.

I hope so, all of these defensive D and/or analytic darlings with mega contracts and/or injury histories make me sweat. I would've taken Marino if I could have.

Rantanen - Barzal - Mangiapane
Marino - Slavin

Alright, that's a largely imaginary consensus then. Dylan Strome and his soft, slow, identical 5v5 P/60 to Tavares/Barzal over the last two seasons go to consensus.

... and stab is up ...

Right, apologies if anyone observed my edited-out getting ahead of stab, but now I'm reasonably certain he's not going to pick any Canadians. Canadiens and Canucks, maybe.

Anyway, Tronna's gonna take local boy Wyatt Johnston and I guess stick him on RW with Danault for now.

Lundell's a solid bounce-back candidate.

I'm taking Dylan Guenther cause Arizona's roster is dire and he ought to be an efficient goalscorer.

Walman earlier was because he suddenly became a top pairing defenseman on Detroit. He's good enough for third pair duty, I figure.

I suggested Chandler Stephenson several rounds ago so maybe now is the time.

Precambrian Video Games

So with Stephenson, and respecting handedness, consensus has:

Huberdeau-Barkov-Kyrou
Kuzmenko-Point-Kaliyev
Lee-D.Strome-Hyman
Lafreniere-Stephenson

Rielly-Pesce
Toews-L.Hughes

Hellebuyck
Jarry

Evidently I forgot about two forwards they picked earlier and they need at least one RD with their next two picks, ideally two.
