2012-13 World Junior Championships Draft

[Soli]

Brett Ritchie of Canada and Dmitrij Jaskin of the Czech Republic

Would have been my sleeper forward. Good pick.

 

[Cerebral]

Would have been my sleeper forward. Good pick.

My next two picks were going to be Trouba and Jaskin but they're both off the board now.

Jaskin is having a big year in the QMJHL and him and Hertl make a pretty formidable duo.

 

[lakai17]

Would have been my sleeper forward. Good pick.

I feel the sleeper picks are limited now, so had to gamble on him.

 

[lakai17]

still another solid Czech or two out there.

 

[SK13]

I pick D - Hampus Lindholm (SWE)

 

[Cerebral]

I pick D - Hampus Lindholm (SWE)

Nooooooooooooo.

JTS takes Swedish forward Viktor Arvidsson.

 

[The Head Crusher]

I always have a soft spot for the Oil Kings so I will select D Griffin Reinhart (CAN)

 

[Soli]

This was a difficult one for me... I'm going to hope to ride the coat tails off of Cerebral, who every year has an infuriating center that blows the tournament out of the water (See B. Schenn in 2011, J. Hubredeau in 2012). Such a jerk face.

I select Artturi Lehkonen.

 

[Cerebral]

Nooooooooooo that was my next pick!

 

[Soli]

Nooooooooooo that was my next pick!

 

[ales83fan]

Nooooooooooo that was my next pick!

Still making your pick?

 

[Cerebral]

Still making your pick?

Ghostbuster is up next and THEN me.

 

[ales83fan]

Ghostbuster is up next and THEN me.

Lol I'm just so eager to draft!

 

[The Head Crusher]

Lol I'm just so eager to draft!

Patients is a virtue young grasshopper.

 

[ales83fan]

Patients is a virtue young grasshopper.

I won't apologize for trying to be efficient

 

[lakai17]

time limit?

 

[Cerebral]

We'll give Ghostbuster until tomorrow morning and then we'll move on to the next pick. We still have a ton of time left but it's too bad we couldn't finish off a few more picks today.

 

[McGhostbuster]

I'll select D-David Musil (CZE)

 

[Cerebral]

I'll take Finnish defenceman Ville Pokka.

 

[ales83fan]

I'm here.

two picks will be made shortly.

 

[ales83fan]

As with all decisions, this one was a tough one.

But I have decided to draft CAN F Ty Rattie.

He looked like he might find his way in the top 6.

Although I had a different forward I really wanted too...

Will Rieder get picked on an Oiler's board?

Rattie is going to rip it up.

 

[ales83fan]

I'll finish by taking Albert Yarullin RUS D.

Scored a goal today, albeit against the Swiss.

This is a shot in the dark, but hope it works out!

I'm done till the last pick overall.

 

[Cerebral]

I'll take Russian forward Anton Slepyshev. Ghostbuster is up!

Yarullin was going to be my last defenceman picked so now I'll have to go back to the drawing board. I have a few intriguing guys on my radar but they could easily put up zero points.

Yeah I'm probably going off the board with my defenseman pick.
