O’Brien vs. Mrtka for Seattle

It’ll be interesting to see if they go for a different defenseman

Jerry Bruckheimer looks like grizzled cocaine Seth Green

Seattle took Jake O’Brien

Go for D next year, I guess

I wonder if Buffalo’s less likely to draft a big RHD after trading for one

McQueen / Eklund seem like possibilities, although Eklund’s size has too many matches in their prospect pool.

I went 6/9, nice. No surprises in terms of which nine players went. I’d love one of the next few picks to go off the board.

Ducks are up next. I think they take a swing on McQueen. Maybe Eklund or Bear is Verbeek’s type and they go that way. I don’t know if they need a LHD, but Aitcheson seems like their type (and not far off from Solberg).

Ideally they’re horny for Lakovic.

Joshua Jackson from Fringe? Don’t make me like the Anaheim Ducks

Ducks go with McQueen, 7/10. Talent-wise I think that was the clear choice but man back injuries are scary

PNES have the next two picks. Pronman chose two D for them and some PNES fan on The Athletic was irate about it. I explained the logic and he did not appreciate it.

Anyway fuck the PNES and that guy, hope they pick two lower ranked D.

Aitcheson is one of these picks. I still think Eklund is the other but Smith, Carbonneau, Reschny, Bear, Cootes… could be any one of them.

PNES trades 12 to Philly for 22 and 31

Seems like bad value?

I think the Flyers take Aitcheson

PNES: “We can trade down since some dummy went off the board and took Benjamin Kindel, good players will still be available”

They should’ve figured out streaming video if they’re doing this remotely

Flyers went for Nesbitt

Thank you Flyers

My gut says Yzerman takes Jackson Smith

Eklund, Bear, Carbonneau other possibilities.

I don’t think Aitcheson goes there. Presumably Columbus takes him
