I probably spent a good 30 minutes deciding between him and Mavrik, let's see if I messed up

I did the same thing with Mavrik, Bourgault, and Desnoyers. Stupid sexy Desnoyers playing 2nd line if KJ couldn't make it and finding out later he's not taking PP reps.

Yeah, I could see they were both on the 2nd PP unit during practice and that someone posted that Johnson is probably likely to take one of their spots. Anyway in the end the AHL experience made me decide to go with Mavrik. I don't watch Canadian junior hockey (or keep up) so not much to go on lol

This was a guy I was looking at. Definitely off the board, but some good potential.

That team is facing four brutal games. I had him as one of the four Swiss players I'd *maybe* take (only ranked 1), but that divison is not going to do them any favours.

Yeah, I struggled to find anyone I wanted in the bigger teams this late so went for it. I think my hope is he has a big game against Slovakia and/or even better that Switzerland ends up in the relegation round which seems probable

That was my concern. Then again, at this point of the draft you're not expecting your 10th round defenseman to pile up the points, but to just be able to chip in a bit. Three points would be a good success, in my book. Doable even in a tough division if he if he gets the minutes and the Swiss can preferably get something going on the powerplay.

I don't have high hopes for team Finland but maybe they surprise.
That Raty thing hurts, but otherwise it looks like a solid team. If they can step up and beat Canada in the New Year's Eve showdown, they can avoid the deadly quarters match-up vs one of the big boys on the other side.
