Matty Beniers at 7th overall in 2021 and about to win the Calder should be the best pick that year

I thought sbout Beniers for 2021, but given the amount of talent in the top-10 of that draft, I was not convinced it was unreasonable to select any of the earlier picks. However, also not unreasonable this take could 100% be right in 2-3 years. For now, the possiblily of getting a potential first line winger or top 2-4 defender in the mid rounds represents much better value

Overall, I think youv'e actually drafted quite well, just haven't found the late round gem

Point vs Sorokin was probably the toughest decision of the bunch. I think the value of finding a Vezina level goalie in the 3rd round out-weights the smaller, but incredibly skilled center

I dont draft often but I targeted Kochetkov bigtime as im a huge fan of russian players. It's taken a bit since 2019 but finally he’ll have his day and so will I

Dunno why Carolina is so dead set on keeping Andersen and Raanta in the mix ahead of him.

Nashville Predators: he is rated a 69 (nice). All remaining un-restricted free agents are on the unassigned page: sim.virtualhockeyleague.com/PlayersRoster.php?Team=0&Type=0 Aug 6, 2023 18:55:06 GMT -5

Montreal Canadiens: not sure what teh point of this is anymore, when your 3rd line is better then the top line on 4 teams ahead of you in the standings simulation obbioulsy has zero reality to it. Apr 11, 2024 13:16:33 GMT -5

Boston Bruins: @montreal... I feel your pain. Got spanked in a must win game by a team I hadn't lost to all season... Just another reason for hockey to make me drink!!! lol Apr 15, 2024 11:01:12 GMT -5
