I'm going to pick F-Martin Frk (CZE)

Frk was on my radar for the last round or so, was hoping to snatch him up in the next round or two. Good pick.

 

[Cerebral]

I'm going to take Swedish defenceman Mikael Wikstrand.

I'm going to take Swedish defenceman Mikael Wikstrand.

You monster.

 

[Cerebral]

You monster.

I'm not loving my team but I have a lot of guys who could put up huge numbers if they're given the chance to do so.

 

[The Head Crusher]

This is a tough year for me to choose, I am not sure who a bunch of these players are.

flip a coin!

 

[ales83fan]

K I'm up for two.

I'll make my picks shortly.

 

[ales83fan]

I'll take William Karlsson (SWE) and Jonathan Drouin (CAN)

 

[Cerebral]

I'll take Czech forward Tomas Hertl.

 

[Cerebral]

I was 50/50 between Hertl and Karlsson so I will be curious to see who ends up scoring more. Karlsson could put up huge numbers playing with Forsberg but Hertl had 5 points last year and should have some decent linemates this year as well.

We're making awesome progress with the draft this year (*knock on wood*) - any interest in maybe adding a 10th round where everyone needs to draft one more forward?

Glad I could make the pick easier.

I was hoping Hertl and Frk dropped to my next picks. That would have been great (for me)!

That's against tradition!

I don't care though.

RE: Karlsson... I was debating between him and Sigarev. I think he's in a good position to put up points, but had something nagging in my mind about him vs. my boy Siggy!

True, let's just stick with what we've always done then.

 

[McGhostbuster]

I will select F-Victor Rask (SWE)

 

[Soli]

I'll take Rasmus Ristolainen (FIN). Can someone PM THC? On my phone.

 

[The Head Crusher]

I select F JC Lipon (CAN)

 

[lakai17]

I select F JC Lipon (CAN)

This is a tough year for me to choose, I am not sure who a bunch of these players are.

 

[The Head Crusher]

huh?

 

[McGhostbuster]

Pretty sure Lipon is hurt. Replaced by Mark McNeil.

NVM that's Hudon.

 

[The Head Crusher]

I thought that was Hudon cause he is scheduled to play Sweden tomorrow

 

[Cerebral]

JTS will take Russian goalie Andrey Makarov.

 

[Soli]

JTS will take Russian goalie Andrey Makarov.

And then there was one...

Normally, I'd be scared picking from the scraps, but with so much uncertainty, I think I'll make out just fine.

Can't be much worse then the 3 points Makarov got me last year... *knock on wood*

 

[SK13]

I'll go with D - Jacob Trouba - USA.

 

[lakai17]

Brett Ritchie of Canada and Dmitrij Jaskin of the Czech Republic
