You know you're having a good draft when.....

You get the player you've wanted on your team since you found out about him (Anton Gustafsson).

The #1 rated Euro goaltender falls to you in the 2nd round.

And guys are trying to pick players you've selected long ago. Devils tried to pick Carle, LA tried to pick Anton Blomqvist.

Bloodlines:
Anton Gustafsson, son of Bengt-Ake Gustafsson
David Carle, Matt's brother
Lucas Sandstrom, Tomas is his uncle
Nik Pokulok, younger brother of Sasha Pokulok

The reason I took so many Swedes was I found a Swedish article with the top 50 Swedish players eligible to be drafted. I hope the writer knows his hockey. What if one of those guys I took late is the next Zetterberg?

One of the only things I was unhappy about was not being able to take Jimmy Hayes. It was a tossup between Carle and Hayes and I went with Carle.

I'll do a real wrap up of my selections in the future. Thanks to Grant for running the show and putting up with the idiocy, especially some of the silly stuff I did. Forgetting to post picks in the thread, trying to pick for the Coyotes by accident once, and for putting up with all the times I messaged saying "that guy is ineligible".
