I don’t know who this person is.

I don't either, but he clearly went to Gavin Hain's barber.

Buffalo Fake GM Kevyn Adams meanders to the microphone for the last time.

His selection may open the culminating round of the 2021 Fake NHL Draft, but it closes Buffalo's participation.

As planned, Adams applies his 10th and final pick to throw a dart at a netminder.

With the 193rd selection in the 2021 Fake NHL Draft, the Buffalo Sabres select seemingly cocky but driven goaltender Owen Bartoszkiewicz, G, Wichita Falls (NAHL).

Team interns struggle to fit the name on the back of his jersey.

"He looks big, athletic, and capable of highlight-reel saves to me, and I'm known as a terrific goalie scout," Adams explains.

Narrator voice: "He was not a terrific goalie scout."

And with that, Fake GM Kevyn Adams is out. Thank you as always, Chuck Downie.

Buffalo Sabres Final 2021 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)

Bless the Google Machine. One of the images I used of Morgan Freeman pops up when I Google Image search for Morgan Freeman microphone. Links back to this thread.

Working on the pick now.

Spoiler: A Smile to End It All

Morgan Freeman: "A long, long time ago I can still remember the how that job used to make me smile. And if I knew I had my choice that I could make fanatics entertained and maybe they would enjoy this draft for a while. Reminiscing about this gong show made me realize that I'm going to charge this joke of a league double next year. Making me do plugs for the official car of the NHL, Honda. Soon I'm going to be wearing one of them jerseys from Sweden that is literally a NASCAR jersey. Ads everywhere soon folks. Anyways to round up the first ever NHL Entry draft for the Seattle Kraken, I once again pass it off to the world's biggest tease Mr. Gabe Newell.

Spoiler: GABEN in all his glory

GabeN: I know some of you folks were excited about my appearance at E3 2021. There were some rumors afloat that we would be announcing some big titles. All I have to say is that whoever sourced that information is pretty dumb. I could be legitimately announcing Half Life 3 or Portal 3 right now and most of you would think I'm trolling. I digress. Let's see what Mr. Ron Francis wrote in this envelope. "

*Tears open envelope*

GabeN: "And I quote 'Well the actual goalie I wanted got sniped. And that scrub of a franchise didn't even include a joke about the planet Jupiter. This is why this league can never have any nice things. There's ample opportunities to make waves on social media yet we have old dinosaurs running the league. Anyways I was going to go with this zero goalie strategy similar to how these nerds who play fantasy football go zero RBs. However, I've been told that we have no idea which goalies are in our organization so we have to take one.

With their first ever seventh round selection and final draft pick in their first ever NHL Entry draft, the Seattle Kraken select Talyn Boyko.

GabeN: "Drumheller, Alberta? Where the bloody balls is that? Anyways I'm out of this stanky place. Easiest money I've ever made to add to my giant pile of money. GabeN out."

Seattle Kraken Selections
2) Matthew Beniers, C, Michigan (NCAA)

[FLYguy3911]

I don’t think the NHL has an appetite for 5’8 goal scoring defensemen, but Miguel is the man.

Eugene Melnyk: Peter, where's Dorion?
Peter McTavish: Ah, Mr. Melnyk, I didn't expect to see you so soon.
Melnyk: You think being shanghai'ed by pirates would keep me from the draft? Hardly. Besides, the whole situation was Dorion's fault.
McTavish: But he's the one who led the rescue party.
Melnyk: He's also the one who didn't get his captain's license and come steer the boat for us. If he had been there he would have listened to my route instead of doing what our numbskull captain did. Where's Dorion?
McTavish: He had a medical emergency so he's at the hospital.
Melnyk: ON COMPANY TIME? OUTRAGEOUS! Who is picking?
McTavish: Me sir.
Melnyk: Show me our picks so far.

Feh, what is this? Where are the centres? Where are the goalies? Where are the Canadians? I only see one.
McTavish: We picked BPA and I think that strategy has been pretty effe-
Melnyk: Effeminate? You're damned right. I'll finish this draft off and show you what balls look like.
McTavish: Oh, please don't.
Melnyk: Let's see, looking at the list of available prospect and we're going.... with him!
McTavish: I don't know that a Russian goalie is a good choice, we might as well just offer him a contr-
Melnyk: Am I made of money? Offer an ELC to a Russian, bah. Fine, but no more of your interference.

Unlike all the rest of my selections in this fake draft, I did not have to spend hours and hours watching tape of my last selection. That's because I spent hours and hours watching his tape last year. In the time since the real-life dinosaur dumbf***s failed to select him during the fake flu in the real life draft, he has improved those parts of his game which were lacking and is once again ready to prove me smart and them dumb. This is an enormous, glaring, blinking "SUCK IT!" to NHL GMs.

7 - 205 - Calgary - Simon Knak, RW, Portland (WHL)

@BiggE show them how professional drafters do it.
