Damn you Matt...I was picking Summers

He's from my back yard!!

Haha sorry, when I was reading up on him it was talking about how his team won a close series against Pembroke. That used to be my backyard too.

Yeah, Pembroke was up 3 games to 2 on them and game 6 went to OT....

Lol
arian is turning into an elite troller

I think Luke has been up for more than 2 hrs already, in fact i'm positive the timeframes of back2back picks don't get cumulated.

[Shoalzie]

I don't know if you guys really made that a rule but in theory, that's how it should go. You shouldn't really get 16 hours to make those two picks.

[kyuss]

i am fairlly certain that's how it worked in past yrs, only one timeframe applied

[Shoalzie]

I only say that since it says in your rules "each pick". I'm not arguing but you should change the phrasing on that because it's pretty much assumed that anyone with consecutive picks are expected to pick in a single window.

[kyuss]

well the thing is, they have to make one pick within the first 8hrs not to skip, but I think they had 8 more from that moment to make the 2nd one or trade it.

And i'm not the one who can change the text in that first post..

[Monk]

I guess I'm up now, gimme a few minutes, I didn't know if bma still had another 8 hrs to make his 2nd pick

[kyuss]

I was surprised to see Johnsson last this far

I was just thinking the same, how did u not take him up to this point Mr Euro drafter

[kyuss]

I was probably going to pick him at 120th, as I think as a Leaf prospect he will hold good value around here.

But there were players i liked more and he slowed down significantly in the 2nd half of the season.

I had no idea he was still available, based on the numbers he put up in the SHL and his comparables by age he is one of the top Leafs prospects and Luke likely got a huge steal. Beat out Wenneberg and other higher ranked prospects for the ROY and 10 of the last 13 winners of ROY have become NHLers and likely William Karlsson from last season. Hoping he turns into a late round steal for us since the Leafs could use it.

[kyuss]

Karlsson will be another one for sure,imo.

Who were the other 2?

still, bbkl wise i I liked better Lagesson's and Walcott's potential.

[Bruyns]

Daniel Larsson, Oscar Steen, Rolf Wanhainen

Backstrom, Hornqvist, Zetterberg, Enstrom, Eriksson and Hedman are all recent winners. Johnson obviously isn't on that level, but if he we can get an NHLer out of a 7th round pick that would be great.

I'll do mine soon; just at work

[Chuck Norris]

I know I reached on Mantha but I figure someone is going to take a flyer on him shortly...

i was hoping he'd fall to round 6

So did I, and I'm sure many others too. Figured the only way I could be sure to get him was by reaching into the 5th.
