[VanillaCoke]

Another solid overnight drama fest for me to read upon waking up. Way to go team

Hope to see you at the next one

Sadly I am old and boring. Up early sleep early.

@NeoCanuck

good guy move offering up Laine when you didn’t need to.

 

[Gecklund]

Can I have the title of best pairing now?

Rielly-Jones

I really like Hamilton - Makar (I know they're both RHD), but yours is definitely up there.

I dunno man.

Carlson-Player to be named later is pretty dope too.

So like... did @belair actually quit because he was skipped?

Seems like a combination of things. He was skipped for one, and all the guys he wanted got taken. I think he also misunderstood the way things were run, he thought that mods deleted his post for some reason other than it was in the wrong thread.

It's up to him, I guess. I for one am never going to get tired of these drafts haha.

I can play Giroux at 1C right?

I don't mind it.

Most of his best years were at center.

 

[hockeynorth]

I don't mind it.

Most of his best years were at center.

I think across 3 games we've seen him at C and W depending on the team, so that's good. I'll just see who lasts and if there's a great C grab them and if not Giroux is C.

He played just over 30% of this season at center.

I'm fine with him there, but don't be surprised if some will dock you a little for it.

That's true, but his move to wing was more to facilitate him playing on the same line as Couturier. He's been a center for most of his career, I don't see why people would expect him to suddenly lose his ability to play center.

I know, but it's been a topic of debate before

It's the type of little thing that I think someone could use as a tiebreaker against him in a close matchup honestly

Yeah, if the centre I really like lasts I'll probably take him and shift Giroux to wing but idk yet

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Yeah let's not do this again.

I think I’m the main advocate for Giroux at the W vs C. Basically he needs the right wingers to get the best out of him from C. I do think Kane and Giroux would be great together though.

[m0pe]

X - X - Kane

I keep missing out on the drama. Sad.

I do think there’s one C out there though that would be great with that line but even if you don’t get him that line will be good.

 

[Llamamoto]

TBH, I'm just really surprised at some of the D that are left. The 3RR is really going to come in handy for some teams.

 

[hockeynorth]

I agree, but I wonder if we're thinking the same C

 

[Gecklund]

I didn’t see it in the OP but are we doing the same 10AM-12AM clock?
