Yes I did google how to spell his name properly. Didn't want to offend any of you.

I'm disappointed in the overall hocket knowledge of this draft. I thought FOR SURE I'd get Rask and Pietrangelo with my 4th and 5th picks

Turns out you guys know more than my friends.

It's not surprising to see young players go early considering their respective salaries. Having Rask as your starting goalie gives you a legit #1 (IMO) and leaves lots of room to spend money on other positons.

Actually just thought of one player who I am surprised hasn't been picked yet. Now if he is available at my pick I still don't know if I would take him. I would for sure if this was a hockey pool.

Yeah there's a couple big fish still out there. My guess is theyre being avoided due to cap hit.

my theory, spend irrationally on your top guys, round out the bottom six forwards and defense with a gang of ahl scrubs.

cant wait to select tommy abelein for my 3rd line... (semi srs)

Locke needs a goalie anyway, Luongo would actually be a pretty decent pick for him, IMO.

Damn, I didn't realize his cap hit is so low, I thought it was around $7M... actually a good pick at this point.

Yeah, it really is. Especially given the fact he has already wrapped up his top 2 C's.

Was locke the guy we picked for because he wasn't here before?

If so maybe he's just pissy and doesn't want to be involved.

He did make his own picks but took his time making them.
