I approve

[hlaverty06]

Devils will not take Fucale, we're going to pick forwards 1st 2 rounds.

[GreeningSingleLady]

Nice.

[LatvianTwist]

If Dallas does get screwed with 17, Zadarov is who I want. Oleksiak, Nemeth, Dillon, Vance, Zadarov... All at least 6'4". That's some insane size on the backend.

How many times did you run that simulator to get Montreal that high

[TheJuxtaposer]

No chance in hell the Sharks take Compher at 19. Duclair's my pick of what's left.

[donghabs98]

I approve of the habs pick

Once. I based the number of balls based off of last year's standings.

It automatically has how many balls each team has. Montreal only has 1, so you were pretty lucky to get #4 if you ran it right and only once.

As talented as Nicushkin is, I don't see anyone using a first round pick on a guy signed for 3 more years in Russia. Kinda like Kirill Petrov in 2008, second ranked European, but didn't go till the third round due to contract status. Due to an ill mom, signed another 2 year contract in the summer. Meaning the earliest he plays his first NHL game, he'll be 24 or 25.

24 or 25...? What?

He'll come over when he's 20-21. Should spend a year, maybe two max in the minors after that. You're off by at least two years.

No way the Sabres take another centre, after Grigs and Girgs, and not to mention a Russian one . We haven't had our luck with Euro forwards in the past (I'm looking at you Zagrapan), so we are all hoping Grigorenko and Girgensons as well as Armia will live up to their potential. The Sabres would either add to their defence prospect pool, or add a big winger like Erne.

Clicked the "Bettman draft" option and nearly woke my household.
