Buds Board Keepers League

oh.. and yotes picking tkachuk too (father son seems so perfect haha) after departing domi..

hong57 wroteCOLONwe have quite a few similarities haha.. e.g. cbj picking russians.. wsh picking alexeyev.. mtl selecting kotk hhahaha.
but then i try to unite the Mcloads.. zadina + kaut.. but i know the world is not perfect hahaha.. and i will freak out if leafs pick merkley.. haha
this seems really fun.

Haha yeah I tried to pick guys who I could see teams taking for one reason or another, gets tricky though, could be a crap shoot towards the end. I've seen a bunch of places suggesting the Leafs might take a shot on Merkley, I wasn't originally going to put him there but when I got to it I could see them as an organisation which would try and develop him whereas others around the end of the first round I wasn't so sure would. Just made sense as a long term gamble for them

I just realised we didn't even need to do 34, only need to do up to 33

Lee wroteCOLONI mean it would suck if he went to MTL at any position just because they are a bad organization at the moment but it would be really nice for me to have the 7th overall this year and 6th overall last year both go 3rd overall in their respective drafts.

It would also suck if he went to most of the bottom 10 teams but that's how the draft works.

Hopefully Kot can be a legit 1c rather than a top 6 c in the NHL

If any other team drafted Kot at 3rd overall there wouldn't be an issue but because it;s MTL and they are drafting for positional need, it's a bad thing.

If Lot is our target I hope Bergevin is smart enough to trade down from 3 to get more assets cause we all know he'll still be there around 6-8. Picking him at 3 is retarded.

Really hope to see Arizona take a RHD rather than Tkachuk, but gut tells me they go with the familial tie

Svech at 3 is a hot take.

he will be smart enough to believe buffalo will pick kot first anad trade up

Malette18 wroteCOLONSvech at 3 is a hot take.

When was the last time Carolina even drafted a Russian? They may want to have the Necas-Zadina chemistry rather then try and fit in a Russian.

Carolina is already on record that they are taking Svechnikov.

Or you know fit in someone who is much better at the game of hockey.

I have confidence in Carolina's front office to not make that mistake, but teams always find a way to surprise me.

SJ will draft some dude in the 1st that was projected as a late 2nd, as usual... because Tim Burke is a fucking idiot.

I'd love some Rasmus Sandin for us

Can we have another Timmy L fall to us, please?

We were real good boys this year.
