Not a bad start. Got Lundestrom on the nose and Beaudin went in the 1st.

Wow so every one of my eight picks went undrafted except Bode Wilde (whom I selected about 30 spots early) and Benoit-Olivier Groulx (whom I also selected about ten spots early). I immediately resign as GM.

Mock vs. Real

1 (24) Vitali Kravtsov, RW -- went 9th (+15 higher)
3 (63) Ondrej Buchtela, D -- undrafted (ugh)
3 (86) Gabriel Fortier, LW -- went 59th (+27 higher)
3 (91) Slava Demin, D -- went 99th (-8 lower)
5 (148) Adam Samuelsson, D -- undrafted (ugh)
5 (152) Martin Pospisil, C -- went 105th (+47 higher)
6 (179) Brendan Budy, LW -- undrafted (ugh)
7 (210) Dmitry Semykin, D -- went 90th (+120 higher. woohoo!)

A few real good ones. Buchtela was bad.

You can't leave. You're stuck forever with us.

I've finally almost gotten everything updated and compiled with the 2017 results. Just gotta do a stats update and then I'll post the results.

In general, looks like we did better in 2018 than 2017. Spoilers: @Hexy4 had an amazing draft, and @Flyerfan13 ... did not.

I know my draft was trash, lol.

I took Lundkvist exactly where he was drafted in real life. Don't know if Miller or Alexeyev would've been better picks because I never saw any of the three play.

I didn't get Magua's seal of disapproval on McLaughlin until it was too late.

Kral went a few rounds later in real life. Woo.

Fagemo didn't even get drafted, but apparently he's garnering interest as a 2019 overager... Woo? Perbix went a couple rounds earlier in real life, so I guess that's my only "steal" if you can call it one. I don't even think the Russian guy I took with my last pick was drafted either.

That's what you get when you let someone who's never watched any of these guys play make your picks. I look forward to another bungling this coming May.

Thanks for doing these much appreciated...with only 4 picks I did my best
