dudacek, you're up. Followed by Sabres Fan in NS. Remember, which player you'd take for the next 82 games only, not taking contracts or long term projections into account, not building a team. Just drafting the best player left.

Oh for god's sake.

[dudacek]

Oh man this is great - fits my work schedule perfectly because I don't have to research.

 

 

 

Am I up?

Have they finished booing Flagg yet?

 

 

 

 

First I have few words I'd like to say

Connor McDavid

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Oh for god's sake.

 

:flirt:

[Randall Flagg]

Just got out of a meeting! If the list is redone, I'll happily slide in wherever. If you'd like me to pick, I will

Sorry about that! You're still pretty early at least.

 

Oh for god's sake.

Eh, you have picks where the decisions get interesting!

:flirt:

You next my dude

 

Solid choice duda.

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Oh, good, now I do not have to offer to swap picks with duda.  My #1 is still on the board.

 

======

 

With the second pick in the blah, blah, blah ...

 

The team from Halifax, Nova Scotia is pleased to select our very own ...

 

Sidney Crosby.

[TrueBlueGED]

Connor McDavid

Fascinating. People keep telling me that Cups measure greatness :nana:

[Randall Flagg]

Eleven, you're up next. 

 

I'll put next to the name their ranking in the thread 2 years ago, and how far they've jumped or fallen.

[Winston]

Sorry about that! You're still pretty early at least.

 

 

No worries! McDavid seems like a slam dunk at 1 to me. If you want to argue Crosby, I'd hear it. But 7 is an interesting place to be. Things get murkier down there. It'll be fun.

 

Back to back picks at each turn would have been cool though!

[GASabresIUFAN]

Flagg, i see what you mean about slow. I had my 13th pick set up. Now what? ;)

[Randall Flagg]

Flagg, i see what you mean about slow. I had my 13th pick set up. Now what? ;)

Oh yeah. Don't be surprised if stuff comes up for people and it doesn't happen til tonight. 

[GASabresIUFAN]

Oh yeah. Don't be surprised if stuff comes up for people and it doesn't happen til tonight.

 

This is great. I got a nap and a new windshield installed.

[dudacek]

Fascinating. People keep telling me that Cups measure greatness :nana:

And they keep telling me that I have Connor McDavid and you don't.

[Randall Flagg]

I had those 2 in my top 3 but not in that order.

[Thorner]

Those two had to go 1/2, right? Tier of their own as far as I'm concerned. Woulda had Sid 1, but it's splitting hairs.

 

3 is interesting.

[Randall Flagg]

I think the top 3 is a no-brainer, order aside, and it gets interesting after that. We'll see if Eleven agrees.

[Thorner]

I don't see a clear 3?

[dudacek]

Off the top of my head, with absolutely no research, I'm leaning Karlsson

[Thorner]

Money Malkin?

Off the top of my head, with absolutely no research, I'm leaning Karlsson

Even as the best Defenceman in the world, I think Karlsson has become *slightly* overrated. *Ducks*

[GASabresIUFAN]

Money Malkin?

Money Malkin?

I'd take him over Malkin. Who else you got?

[Randall Flagg]

I believe he occupies a tier with Orr and Coffey when you era-adjust scoring, and those three stand far above anyone else.

 

EK is a generational defenseman. 

 

And don't look now, but he went from mediocre defensively to great defensively in the past 2 years. 

Didn't mean to lobby or anything, Eleven, make sure it's YOUR guy you pick.

[TrueBlueGED]

I can't believe Kassian is still on the board.

[WildCard]

I can't believe Kassian is still on the board.

Only because Hdgsn hasn't gone yet

[Randall Flagg]

Prime Derek Roy would be top 50 on my board easy.
