Gotta be McThunder.

 

[Todd1a]

This one is easy mcdonagh but after this it’s going to get hard

 

[God King Fudge]

McDonagh. Can you even imagine this defense without him?

Also: petition to use this picture for Stamkos.

Petition to have picture photoshopped and him grimacing at the excertion of throwing the Stanley Cup or maybe just shop it for the word PLAYOFFS coming at him and he's freaking out trying to swat it away

Actually.... How about him chucking his golf bag and clubs?

Speaking of which, I’ll be on vacation for two weeks with limited access starting this Sunday. Anybody willing to continue these polls during that time? I’ll do the one tomorrow.

I think it'd bust the theme to have one obviously shopped picture.

McD’s draft pictures are gold too.

The fun starts next round.

 

[Master P]

My pick for the McD picture

My pick for the McD picture

"Accidentally"

Admit it, you want to see Hitkowski shirtless.

 

[DFC]

Very interesting at #7. I think the conversation starts with Johnson and Gourde. But the thing that's interesting to me is I don't think anybody would be shocked if this is Cernak's spot as early as this coming season.

 

[Felonious Python]

McD’s draft pictures are gold too.

The combine and draft give us bountiful harvests each year.

I don't understand why they continue to take the post-draft pictures with guys busting through curtains and stuff. It's always meme fodder.

Much as I love McDaddy, give me Cirelli. I think this is his breakout "pay me" year where he goes 30/30 on the 1st line and provides defensive stability plus power play abilities which put too much pressure on most teams. Kuch-Cirelli-Stammer and we will have all three wanted for murder by mid-season by opposing goalies.

I'm all in on Celery at #7, but I think McDonagh is here. One of the best defensive dmen in the league.

Celery is my no doubt #7 tho

 

[LightningStrikes]

Btw I can’t find a shirtless pic of Point. Maybe that’s what’s holding up contract talks.

[Rschmitz]

Cernak, Cirelli, Sergachev are the next three for me in that order

I can't dispute it until the season is over.

Happy now?
