@Captain Dave Poulin podium is yours

Great name, great blouse.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This could be seen as a floor over ceiling pick, which I said I wouldn't do, and which NHL teams tend to go for especially after they have gone for a home-run pick, and I have made three of those already. But really, what I am banking on here is wheels and transition. Good value here again. I think that is going to happen a lot IRL - a lot of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" picks. But again, every NHL GM is a f***ing idiot, so whatever.

5 - 141 - Calgary - Nikita V. Novikov, D, Dynamo Moskva (MHL)

@FLYguy3911 I thought this was 'Murica!

1 - 13 - Calgary - Brennan Othmann, LW, Olten (SL)
2 - 45 - Calgary - Danila Klimovich, C, Miniskie Zubry (Belarus Vysshaya)
3 - 77 - Calgary - Alexander Kisakov, F, Dynamo Moskva (MHL)
3 - 85 - Calgary - Kirill Kirsanov, D, St. Petersburg (KHL)
5 - 141 - Calgary - Nikita V. Novikov, D, Dynamo Moskva (MHL)

 

[FLYguy3911]

Pick coming.

 

[landsbergfan]

Pick coming.

I see what you’re doing

 

[FLYguy3911]

Pick coming.

We are officially in dart throw territory. This is likely a bit early, but he is the only guy left that I have a solid hunch on.

Montreal selects Simon Motew.

This is what happens when an OHLer plays in a glorified House League...

(#2 is a pretty decent AHL defenseman so I feel pretty good).

He turned into Cale Makar.





He was excellent as a rookie in the OHL also.



@saophim is on the clock.

[BernieParent]

Don't worry. I think half of my team went undrafted last year.

That's on the real GMs.

 

[FLYguy3911]

That's on the real GMs.

I didn't pick full-sized players.

Cardwell and Evans should get drafted this year (Cardwell going undrafted last year was baffling).

Shhhhh

 

[saophim]

Dallas Stars select from HC Energie Karlovy Vary - Czech Extraliga, Patrik HAMRLA - Goalie.

@landsbergfan Rangers next

 

[landsbergfan]

Was thinking about waiting until next round but you might say the cat is out of the bag.

Ethan Cardwell - C - Barrie /Surahammars IF

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Cardwell

Dammit, I knew there was a second year eligible OHLer that I was thinking of when it was time for my last pick but I couldn't for the life of me remember his damn name

 

[FLYguy3911]

Shhhhh

He really stayed up to make that pick...

I mean he's technically already property of Montreal so f*** if I care if he gets taken this year.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Fake GM Kevyn Adams wakes up for a new day of work and discovers that his Buffalo Sabres have been on the clock since 2:30 AM.

"Damn Europeans," he thinks, angry from having to make an important decision while on his first sip of coffee.

With Europeans and bitterness on his mind (and tongue, thanks to Starbucks), Adams decides to go with a 6'4" European with an underrated skill level, but whose game relies on a high motor and punishing forechecking. ("Damn Islanders," some message board posters react.)

With the 145th pick in the 2021 NHL Fake Draft, the Buffalo Sabres select Kalle Vaisanen, LW, TPS (U20 SM-sarja).

Buffalo Sabres Selections
1 - 1 - Buffalo - Brandt Clarke, D, HC Nove Zamky (Slovakia)
2 - 33 - Buffalo - Zachary L'Heureux, LW, Halifax (QMJHL)
2 - 55 - Buffalo - Logan Mailloux, D, SK Lejon (HockeyEtten)
3 - 81 - Buffalo - Wyatt Johnston, C, Windsor (OHL)
3 - 94 - Buffalo - Artyom Grushnikov, D, Hamilton (OHL)
4 - 97 - Buffalo - Ryan Winterton, RW, Hamilton (OHL)
5 - 145 - Buffalo - Kalle Vaisanen, LW, TPS (U20 SM-sarja)

@BestPlayerAvailable is up.

Yes I was waiting all night (playing fortnite)

I had no idea he was an overager when I first found him if I'm being honest. Just knew he was one of the few targets I have left

 

[CutOnDime97]

The St. Louis Blues select, from Maple Grove High, Kyle "please be better than Lasse" Kukkonen.

@BigToe you are up

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

The St. Louis Blues select, from Maple Grove High, Kyle "please be better than Lasse" Kukkonen.

@BigToe you are up

Don't you ever speak ill of Lasse Kukkonen again.

 

[BigToe]

With our final pick the Wipnnipeg Jets select Valtteri Koskela.


1 - 19 - Winnipeg - Logan Stankoven, C/RW, Kamloops (WHL)
2 - 51 - Winnipeg - Brent Johnson, D, Sioux Falls (USHL)
3 - 83 - Winnipeg - Jackson Blake, F, Chicago (USHL)
5 - 147 - Winnipeg - Valterri Koskela, D, Jyvaskyla (SM-Liiga)

@JojoTheWhale you stink

 

[SanBlom]

The St. Louis Blues select, from Maple Grove High, Kyle "please be better than Lasse" Kukkonen.

@BigToe you are up

My next guy.

And I did first look him up because of Lasse.

 

[pit]

With our final pick

Must be nice. I haven't picked since last week and I still have 3 picks over two teams still to go. Someone teach Dorion and Dubas to trade late picks and not mid-rounders.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I have a list of 22 players (well, 21 now with Koskela taken) that I have not yet ordered, and three picks left. Hopefully this gets me through the rest of the draft.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

With our final pick the Wipnnipeg Jets select Valtteri Koskela.


1 - 19 - Winnipeg - Logan Stankoven, C/RW, Kamloops (WHL)
2 - 51 - Winnipeg - Brent Johnson, D, Sioux Falls (USHL)
3 - 83 - Winnipeg - Jackson Blake, F, Chicago (USHL)
5 - 147 - Winnipeg - Valterri Koskela, D, Jyvaskyla (SM-Liiga)

@JojoTheWhale you stink

Everyone needs to be aware of how thoroughly you've owned me here, Toe. You signed off with "you stink." Your PM telling me I was up said we're not friends. To top it off, you did snipe me. Well done!

With that done, it's time to take someone I just learned existed.

Nashville selects D Jiri Tichacek from Rytiri Kladno.

@flyerslducks You're up. On a related note, I now know that's a lowercase L and not a |.

I also just learned Tichacek existed My pick was between those 2.

How cute.
