Good morning, 2 picks left in 3rd round.

We're at pick #95, San Jose Sharks which is @SOLR

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Damn love your draft so far, lots of upside.

I'm pretty happy with it so far ! Obviously, having 2 firsts and 4 picks in the second round alone helps a lot

 

[SOLR]

Going to make my pick now

 

[SOLR]

With the #95 pick in the 2023 NHL entry draft, the San Jose Sharks select Jakub Stancl

Looking forward to the 4th round, where we have 2 picks.

@Weber Fan is next and PMed - sorry for the late start.

Stancl rules.. size, deadly wrister. Underrated because of his production.

 

[Mrb1p]

I have six more players I really want, lets hope I can grab 4 of them with my four last picks.

Yep, classic "hiding" European during his draft year, in the middle of a few different leagues/levels.

Not sure how you can hide with 6'3'' 200 lbs but ok.

Brb around 5-6pm to make pick 99, if 97 and 98 happens.
