Nah I'll update it at the end. I don't need y'all knowing where I'm going with my next pick.
that's the dumbest approach to this game that I've ever heard before

no one cares about whether you're going to zig or zag

they only care about whether they will zig or zag

fun > not fun

It's also so I don't have to keep updating it after every pick. Seems unnecessary to have it up before it's done. But no I've definitely seen @hockeynorth change the order he picks players based on if he thinks someone is going to pick a certain player or not. I'm sure other people do it too. If you want to guess where my next pick will be, you gotta put in the work of looking at the board for my picks and also good luck cause 90% of the time I don't even know where I'm going until one pick before mine.

Me too Panda!

As per tradition, I won't calculate my cap hit until the end of the game. Although at this point I'm kind of hoping I go bust, I don't like my teams very much. Very much open to a trade with either one.

yes first line
bold move pairing up two dudes who didn't have much chemistry
haula good

great first pair
skeptical about second pair unless Subban loses weight, gets a 100% healthy back and rebounds a lot

you should switch Bratt and Bertuzzi
defence is fine
Holtby sucks

f*** off that's all great except Demko being a starter is lol even if his playoffs were great. lucky for him to get a hot streak there because it blew up his reputation stupidly

good on you recognizing that Kempe is better on wing

second one has really good two-way forwards. not a fan of vatanen on a top pair, and I am skeptical that Myers is good enough to carry Fleury on a second pairing

They played together for 8% of the year, they didn't have much time to build chemistry. And I kind of ignore Nashville forward production, it seems to be a black hole for offense. My 2nd pairing isn't great, but I think Lindgren's style of play compliments Subban.

I switched Bertuzzi and Bratt.
Holtby's pretty meh, I did not expect that G run.

just refreshed duchene's numbers, and I forgot how much he controlled play. amazing xG%

maybe Arvidsson could be a good fit because he wouldn't have to do much work carrying the puck with Duchene around and could focus more on shooting/going netfront

So what kind of winger would go well with them? A puck-retrieval/diry areas kind of guy?

Arvidsson is as F1 as you get. he cheats to pick up any possible loose puck in his own zone so that he can fly down the ice, and he's an energetic forechecker. book's out on him for the former, though, so defenceman play a larger gap and he just ends up taking a shit shot from the boards. he doesn't have great hands--just very, very good north-south speed

enter Duchene, who can wheel the puck AND stickhandle. if you make him your f3 (like many centres), you're losing out on that though in the same way Oilers don't play Drai or McDavid as F3s

you need an F3, i.e. a winger with good positional play and puck support, who can cover for Duchene. shame you missed out on Copp, who can also play LW.

Yep agree. There’s one guy left that I think can play there pretty well but I could be wrong because I haven’t watched him this year

naw man

Morrissey-Schmidt would be an excellent first pair. something about them together just feels right, and it's their very complementary skillsets in that they are both all-rounders. if morrissey is 40/60 offence/defence, then Schmidt is the opposite.

or you can just split them and go committee without burning assets.

Yeah there's a left winger available that I think would make a great F3.
