Just an update on Draft #4.. there's 4 spots available.

Notable GM's who have yet to get back to me from this one are @Paralyzer008 and @FanofBadHockeyTeam

Draft #4 will be the last one I can participate in so hoping to get filled up and started as soon as possible. If you know anyone who's down just message them.

 

[Panda Bear]

Yup for sure. Definitely agree about my netminders, Raanta may have been a better selection but I see Samsonov in the same tier as the next gen (Hart, Shesterkin, Blackwood) whilst being more unproven behind Holtby then Schneider or Elliott. I was biased there. Dell or Miller (taken) would have been my backup to balance age

I do think both Staal and Stastny will be taken even higher if there is another one

you f***ing ruined my 2C game this draft

 

[EvilDead]

I said I'd want 2/3 in favor to make sure. And ideally it would be unanimous, similar to the other trade change (I think 20+ GMs agreed to that).

This one is too split for it to really be fair to all who voted no.

Okay. Just wanted to make sure. I missed that part.

I like the new ideas, but I'm iffy. But I'll have an answer later tonight probably.

Here it is! How did my first draft go?
I wanted to build a team that counters panda, so I went more defensive heavy.
Not sure if it worked..

Thank you

I really can't get over that top line. I love the chemistry there a ton, and the draft capital spent wasn't too high.

Not bad for a first draft at all

I’d switch Labanc/Kase and use that as a shutdown line. Also gives Pav/Lindblom more of a playmaker

I've toyed with that, it's a good idea.

One of the strongest forward groups, but I don't really like the defense. Helle helps that a fair bit.
