I haven’t drafted in 5 years but this one I decided to take part in. I was a little rusty.

#6 Joakim Kemmel
#9 Frank Nazar
#10 Noah Ostlund
#11 Marco Kasper
#59 Christian Kyrou
#61 Michael Fisher
#66 Hunter Haight
#71 Nick Moldenhauer
#76 Kasper Kulonummi

#6 Joakim Kemmel
I was back and forth on who to draft here based on who I thought had a great chance to still be available. I settled on Simon Nemec but when Grant snagged him at #2 it threw me for a loop. Then 1 by 1 all my other guys ranked went as well leaving 1 guy left that as of 11AM this morning I was not going to take but after a quick call from the Nashville GM, changed my mind and took Joakim Kemmel, and I'm glad I did. He's "Highly competitive and physical despite his average size, best one-timer in the draft." I hope he can grow a couple more inches and is the reason I was going to shy away.

#9 Frank Nazar
This guy has been all over the draft boards from top 10 to 2nd round but I like him. I was taking whoever was there between the two American's when I picked here and thought I might have a choice until Grant took Cutter. So we take Nazar. He's going to college but that's OK and probably good for him and it's Michigan so that's good.

#10 Noah Ostlund
I probably had some people scratching their heads with this one and likely took him much higher than I needed too but he was a guy I liked when I read up on him. "Östlund is undoubtedly the sharpest player on Sweden's U18 roster and likely rates among the top-five in this draft for hockey sense period," Elite Prospects Swedish regional scout Jimmy Hamrin wrote in a pre-U18s profile of Östlund. "He is the glue that holds his teams together. He plays with strong puck support, drives play, and has a high motor."

#11 Marco Kasper
I like him better than Nazar and Ostlund, hoping he goes high to make my pick here look better! This is all I had to read to know I was going to draft him: "If you're looking for a throwback forward in this year's draft, look no further. Marco Kasper is as violent and competitive a hockey player as you'll find in the entire class. He plays every shift like it's his last and it's taking place in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The rest are guys I think have some potential and needed to get some D.
