Previously on the 2019 NHL HF Flyers Edition: Reread the previous 21 pages of the thread. 
Morgan Freeman: For all you lovely folks that are still watching this gong show, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was hired by that little Keebler elf on stage. I didn't want to do it but, he handed me a blank check. It's hard to resist temptation folks. Anyways, a quick recap of what has transpired here in the glorious city of Vancouver.
It seems we have GMGM being a high roller from Vegas and I have to say he looks pretty dapper in his suits. A legendary Penguin marched his way back to the limelight and has made pretty big news. However, a hunchback little devil seems to have locked him in the bathroom. There's an owner whose to happy with all the fresh body parts and blood, reports are he's in a gleeful daze. We have several changes mid draft with the illustrious Detroit and Tampa Bay franchises. Also, there was an orange furry thing running about. I think it's called Gritty but, it seems to be the Ducks' GM. Are you still following me folks? None of this makes sense. Alas, lets turn the page and check in on that franchise from the Motor City.
Nerdy Jeff: "Well Stevie what are we gonna do?"
Stevie Y: "First off Jeff, you address me as Boss. Second, didn't you hear the sultry voice of Morgan Freeman just now? He just gave a voice over that put the focus on us."
Nerdy Jeff is flabbergasted and looks around like a lost puppy.
Stevie Y: "You're such an idiot," he said and shook his head. "I can't wait to fire you after this year."
Nerdy Jeff: "But Boss!" he cried. "Ex-boss!" he exclaimed towards Ken.
Ken Holland: "It's his call now, Jeff. Just enjoy the raise I gave you. Anyways Stevie, I think we got a couple players left on our list."
Stevie Y: "Let's go with this lad," he said as he pointed to the list.
Morgan Freeman: "Looks like the Red Wings have made their selection folks. Let's go to the Keebler elf at the stage."
Gary Bettman sat on his stool still browsing his phone. A little while ago he donned a pair of Bose Quiet Comfort 35s since they were now a sponsor of the NHL. One of his peons tried to get his attention but to no avail. The Bose Quiet Comfort 35s were premium quality noise cancelling headphones so Gary was oblivious to his surroundings. A peon was about to get his attention but there was an intervention.
Morgan Freeman: "Don't bother young man," his sultry voice echoed throughout the arena. "I'll take over from here. Any problems folks?" he asked the GMs and the audience. Everyone gave a thumbs up. Morgan Freeman coughed a bit. "Pardon me. Detroit your selection please." his voice delivered by the sound system in the arena.
Stevie Y: "The Detroit Red Wings are proud to select from the Penticton Vees of the BCHL, Massimo Rizzo. See Jeff, I just got Morgan Freeman to participate in our selection," he gloated. "No other GM could pull it off."
Nerdy Jeff started to cry. Word from several audience members was that he left the draft floor and headed to the bathroom. But, he couldn't get in cause it was locked.
Morgan Freeman: "We'll find out what happens in a little while folks. Please stay tuned."

@johum7 time is up. I suggest we give him until 9:00 pm EST to select before an autopick.
@Rebels57 is out of time. I suggest we give him a time extension until 6 pm EST as he is likely at work.
