Vote 5b (Edmonton) over 5A (Dallas)!

We have better goaltending, better defense, and better offense.

Voting now live

These are some extremely tight races and I can be swayed on most, B/C/D/E/F are all tight for me, my two matchups and H were the only two I found easy

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Mope sniped me three times on huge picks; Hart, Pulock and Beauvilier. Dont think Ive ever got f***ed that many times by a single guy in all the drafts we’ve done. Definitely hurt my plans and the outlook of my team.

I still like Jack Hughes but I dont think it was a very strong pick for the vote either.

It makes me feel a lot better since you have been the person who has stolen from me most in the past. Yay.

I like him as a 2C a lot

B1 is better than this!

B1 is better than this!

B1 is a top half team who had a very strong first matchup unfortunately.

The way she goes

This looks effectively decided

Edit: forgot the 3 Qatar guy votes so it'll get a bit longer
