You. Son. Of. A. Bitch.This guy is having a breakout this year, and now is contributing to my extremely young but high producing top D pair.
Tony DeAngelo, D
Ha I almost tried to see if he'd make it back to me on the wraparound. Glad I didn't!You. Son. Of. A. Bitch.
Rantanen is already picked I believe.MikeMikeMike! proudly chooses, with our next two back-to-back picks:
Mikko Rantanen - RW
Mikko Koivu - C
This gives us some youth and scoring ability in Rantanen (I know he was injured in February, but this is a fantasy draft and this is my fantasy), and adds a grizzled veteran centerman in Koivu.

Incidentally, it is going to be more difficult than I thought to ice a team using only variations of Mike. Goalies in particular.

Don't worry Haunted we'll let you have the Oilers goalie tandem.
Scoops this reminds me of the write ups we did years ago. I love it. Thanks. Good pick.Once again, Jeremy Jacobs' Penny Pinchers were looking for a guy who combined high level production on a below market contract. While I originally wanted to grab someone at an ELC, I also wanted someone I could pair on the top line with MacKinnon who could both put up some goals as well as make some plays themself. Ultimately, I had to choose between the two, and went with the latter. In this player, the Penny Pinchers are taking another guy who plays a complete, 200 foot game, can score goals, make plays, and who can be shifted to handle center responsibilities himself as needed. He's also on a bargain contract for another four seasons, making him an ideal fit for the team philosophy. JJ's Penny Pinchers select: Elias Lindholm, RW

Heiskanen is the other name I considered along with Lindholm, before deciding Lindholm's contract gave him the edge. Real nice pick here.Miro Heiskanen, D
Kinda surprised he’s still available. 20-year old stud LHD. Heiskanen - Jones should form one of the premier top pairs in the league.
Gaudreau - Eichel - Stone
Heiskanen - Jones
Was hoping he'd somehow make it back in the next round. Nice pick.Heiskanen is the other name I considered along with Lindholm, before deciding Lindholm's contract gave him the edge. Real nice pick here.
Fahhhhk how did I forget about himWhat a pick, I completely forgot he was out there
I don't acknowledge Kennycb after he pointed out my typo.Huberdeau was taken in the second round by kenneycb.
