Morgan Freeman: "Well folks we are just starting off Round 2 here on Day 2 of this virtual kerfuffle. And it looks like we're tossing it back to our live feed of Seattle and I believe Mr. Gabe Newell. This old buffoon teased all of us on Portal 3 for years. And here he is on live TV across the globe doing it again. The man clearly has made enough money from Steam Summer sales to not care anymore. SOON™ folks. SOON™."

GabeN: "Welcome back to the Key Arena folks. Finally renovated and ready for rubber puck. I know some people email'd me at [email protected] regarding Portal 3. The answer still has been and always will be SOON™. Anyways I have this envelope here from Mr. Ron Francis. He told me that this was a name he hastily wrote because he didn't think the lad would still be available. However as an expert rubber disk watcher, I realize that this draft is going to be all over the place so anything's possible."

*Tears open envelope*

"With their first ever 2nd round selection and the 35th overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, the Seattle Kraken are proud to select, Corson Ceulemans.

GabeN: "Where the bloody balls is Brooks, Alberta? Damn these kids are literally from the middle of nowhere."

Seattle Kraken Selections
2) Matthew Beniers, C, Michigan (NCAA)
35) Corson Ceulemans, RHD, Brooks Bandits (AJHL)

@DrinkFightFlyers is up. Will PM as well.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Vegas, still without a worthy Egor or related variant, and thinking their pick was not for another 25+ selections, scrambles and selects Matthew "The Bees" Knies, LW, Tri-City, USHL.

@Ernest95 is up! PMing as well.

The only thing worse than waiting for autopick is when autopick also takes the player you had lined up next.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Since the last pick this morning I went to Hersheypark, came home from Hersheypark, went out to dinner for my brother's birthday and yet am still waiting to make my pick

 

[FLYguy3911]

We were humming for a while there.

 

[Chuck Downie]

@Ernest95 time is up!

Autopick will be

Anton Olsson, D, Malmo (SHL)

@Strawberry Fields is up!

 

[Strawberry Fields]

@Ernest95 time is up!

Autopick will be

Anton Olsson, D, Malmo (SHL)

@Strawberry Fields is up!

This is a shame because I had two players in mind and I thought that autopick would surely take care of that debate for me. Needless to say Anton Olsson was not one of those two players

Pick will be in very shortly.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Detroit selects C/W Xavier Bourgault

This was tough because I know my other target won't last to my next pick.

6- D Owen Power/Michigan (NCAA)
24- C Francesco Pinelli/Kitchener (OHL)
38- C/W Xavier Bourgault/Shawinigan (QMJHL)

[Ernest95]

Hey sorry, just got home. been out all day. That autopick is probably better than what I would've picked

 

[pit]

Peter McTavish: Psst, boss, the flask is in my jacket pocket. Jut grab it.
Pierre: No no, I'm okay, I think. Not having Mr. Melnyk here makes this less stressful. I might have overreacted before.
PM: Sure, but did you look at the draft board now?
Pierre:

An autopick for Pastujov? Son of a bi-

A video call? Hello?

@Bender B Rodriguez is up!

Thought he would have went in the first.

He was the other one I was thinking of taking at 38, no surprise he went right after

 

[pit]

Thought he would have went in the first.

I thought so too, no argument here!

He was the other one I was thinking of taking at 38, no surprise he went right after

*ring ring*

Peter Mactavish: Isn't that your phone?
Pierre: I don't hear anything.
PM: But that ringi-
Pierre: I. Don't. Hear. Anything.
PM: It sure sounds like-
Pierre: Damn it Peter, I'm ignoring it because it's probably Mr. Melnyk.

*DING*

Oh, now he's sent me a text.

Ugh, I get it, you're having the time of your life and you want me to come lackey but I have a team to run and picks to make. Time to prep!

Pierre: Do you know why I'm drinking Tuborg Peter?
PM: You're picking a Danish player?
Pierre: No, it's because it tastes good and I'm drafting a Nordic player and Denmark is the Nordic country with the best beer.
PM: Feels like a pretty tenuous link to me.
Pierre: Silence! Watch me use this liquid power to swing for the fences.

*ring ring*

Oh for the love of- hrm, blocked caller. I wonder...hello?

Jack: Hello.

I've got your boss. He says he has no money, but that you'll pay the bounty. So be a good lad and hand over the booty.

Pierre:

*click*

PM: What are you going to do?
Pierre: We don't pick until the 5th round. At the rate this league picks, Mr. Melnyk will be back by the third. Lock and load Peter, we're going pirate hunting.

@Ernest95 is up.

Arizona selects Ben Gaudreau
@GKJ
you're up

One thing I get a kick out of from drafts and mock drafts is when I recognize players from my EHM saves. Seen a few of them taken already. Sadly one I’ve been playing reached a fatal error last week as I built a dominant Flyers franchise and started building teams to beat them. Imagine the Flyers winning 5 cups in a row (beating the Oilers 3 times, and 2 of them in OT of game 7), and going for #6 but being beaten by Sean Couturier and the Minnesota Wild.

Anyhoo, one of the guys I had drafted after one of those 5 Cups was Jake Neighbors who had developed into a good, versatile forward in shorter order than it usually takes.

This clearly has nothing to do with anything, at all

For some reason, no one has yet selected Neighbors in this draft, so I will aim to rectify that.

Neighbours was drafted by St Louis last year
