World Junior Hockey Pool(draft complete)

[HighLifeMan]

I select forwards Teuvo Teräväinen, and Elias Lindholm.

[Trojan97]

I'm shocked it took 20 picks for Teravainen to go. What a steal.

[J epworth]

I'll go with a little bit of a gamble and take Andrei Makarov of Russia

I think Sheifele has been the biggest steal so far.

Do you know something i do not? I thought Vasilevski was the starter? It's hard to find info on the Russian team.

[Mitch]

I'll keep going with my team Canada trend and take Morgan Rielly.

This will give me a chance to triple up on points with 3/5 players on Canada's first PP unit.

He's most likely the starter but they will probably split round robin games, so I'm gambling that vasilevski has a bad few games and Makarov takes the spot from him.

[J epworth]

Heads up, I'm about to drive from Saskatoon to Calgary so if the draft is moving well today, I won't be able to make my next pick until this evening or so.

[GirlySports]

Martin Frk, Czech Rep.

[dammage79]

Seth Jones!

[Ashasx]

Wishful thinking he could drop to me. How about a trade? LOL

[dammage79]

Yeah no! I am stunned he fell this far. Probably the best defenseman in the tourney.

I would debate that - Hamilton would likely be in the NHL right now if it was on (on a good team).

Regardless, the point of the pool I believe is not to pick the best players, but to get the most points. And as good as Jones is (I am hoping he somehow falls to us in June), I doubt very much that he leads defensemen in points in the tourney.

For what it's worth, he has 5 more points than Wotherspoon, having played 2 more games. And fewer points than Pouliot, who could not earn a spot on the Cdn team.

[endeavor]

With my pick, I will choose forward Jonathan Drouin (CAN).

[dammage79]

nice pick. was hoping hed last another round

[Hockey]

I'll go Mikael Wikstrand from Sweden.

[Drake]

Wow! I'm shocked he is still around. I'll take from Finland, Joel Armia.
