2021 Draft
59. Conner Roulette, LW, Seattle (WHL)
124. Albert Sjoberg, RW, Sodertalje (J20 Nationell)
156. Kirill Gerasimyuk, G, SKA St. Petersburg (MHL)
188. William von Barnekow, LW, Malmo (J20 Nationell)
220. New York Islanders: Maxim Krovyakov, CSKA-1946 St. Petersburg (MHL)

I'm pretty happy with the offseason and draft in general. I kept the Top4 intact, Didn't lose a core piece of my forward group to Seattle.
And didn't give up too much futures to move Komarov and Clutterbuck while acquiring Fast.
This team still need a Top9 LW (to move Dal Colle as 13th forward) and a Top6 LHD (to move Aho as 7th Dman )in my mind but would need to move Hickey and/or Ladd to do so but I wasn't able/didn't want to do so.

Roulette at 59 is good value. He reminds me of a mix between Zarry and Neighbors, both 1st rounders last year.
Sjoberg, I just love the way he plays, high energy, he's the type of player that does not shine every shifts but contributes every shifts.
Gerasimyuk, this guy was unreal for a really bad MHL team. Not the biggest goalie but tracks the puck very well. And picking a Russian goalie for NYI just felt right.
Von Barnekov and Krovyakov are 2 projects. But the size is there, the skating is decent for the size, decent hands. I mean they have flaws but in the 6th and 7th rounds they all have. Happy to have 2 big centers in the pipeline to develop on the long term for a Bottom6 role.

We wanted to conclude the draft by drafting the son of former Tampa Bay Lingtning's legend Martin St. Louis but someone decided to ruin everything.
We are still happy to select Kyle Crnkovic, LW, Saskatoon (WHL)

Thanks everyone for this last mock, we finished just in time!
I can't wait for tonight!

Trades
To Tampa Bay: Anaheim 2022 7th round pick
To Columbus: Tyler Johnson, Mitchell Stephens and Tampa Bay 2022 1st round pick

To Tampa Bay: Arthuri Lekhonen
To Montreal: Jack Finley and Jack Thompson

Expansion
Odrej Palat

2021 Draft
95. Liam Dower-Nilsson, C, Frolunda (J20 Nationell)
159. Connor Lockhart, RW, Erie (OHL)
191. Hugo Gabrielson, LHD, Frolunda (J20 Nationell)
195. Avery Hayes, C, Hamilton (OHL)
210. Victor Sjoholm, RHD, HV71 (J20 Nationell)
223. Kyle Crnkovic, LW, Saskatoon (WHL)

Pretty happy with the offseason, losing Palat to Seattle is like losing him to free agency one year early so was happy to keep Gourde, Kilhorn and the young guys on cheap contracts. Lekhonen is my favoriye Habs player (I know, I know) so I probably overpaid but this guy with Gourde and Colton would be a great shutdown line, not as good as Coleman-Gourde-Goodrow but still. I keep the Cirelli line intact and let Jospeh/Barret-Boulay/Katchouk battle to play with Kuch and Point. I kept my defence intact so really happy about that. After dumping Johnson for an arm and a leg and losing Palat to expansion I'm under the cap without using LTIR. I still need a 800,000$ semi-decent goalie but Clavin Pickard is UFA so I should be good.

Dower-Nilson I like him a lot where I got him. He reminds me of Lias Andsersson (hoping he won't have the same progression). Used to wear the C, super intense and physical. He looks like a pain to play against. I wanted to go with Malatesta (such a TB pick) but wanted so see where he would drop after picking him in last mock with Detroit.
Lockhart is a big gamble because he didn't play any hockey this year. Long term project but the skating and offensive IQ is there. I was expectiong a big progression from him this year, I hope he worked hard in the gym to bulk up.
Hugo Gabrielson, I noticed him while scouting Edvindsson. He was honnestly insane at zone exits from the tapes I have seen. Nothing flashy but super effective with the puck. He could develop in that serviceable Top6 Dman that you can play up and down the lineup in case of injuries but needs to get better defending.
Hayes, I just love the way he plays, was expecting a big progression form him this year. He was able to play in Slovakia and did good against men.
Sjoholm, I really don't know if his skillset can translate to the NHL because of his size and average skating, but he's a solid defensive RHDman that always finds a way to get the job. He needs to gain muscle ans work on his skating.
Crnkovic once again not sure if his skillset can translate to the NHL but if there's one team that can turn a small offensivly gifted junior player in a NHL player it's Tampa Bay.

It was hard to always pick a couple picks after my other team, always seemed to be picking my plan B.

I'd die of happiness.

The trade happened an hour ago and I’m no less flabbergasted than I was then.

My only explanation is that Kevyn Adams had unsavory photos of Chuck Fletcher and threatened to make them public. Nothing else makes sense.

But yeah I’m overjoyed. @flyersdad I hope he improves for ya.
