You just had to hoist him in your rankings.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

You just had to hoist him in your rankings.

You could say the world is his hoyster at this point, though.

 

[SOLR]

You could say the world is his hoyster at this point, though.

With hard work and skill, he's proven his poise.

 

[Mrb1p]

Those are so bad

Dude, I've got dad jokes for days, you have no idea. My wife and my daughter can barely stand to be in the same room as me at this point

Ottawa Senators select Matteo Mann (RD) from Chicoutimi of the QMJHL

Sounds like a nepotism pick there. Trent Mann selects his son Matteo.

Mann was actually my next "mann" up! I'll have to regroup. Give a me a few minutes.

With the 144 pick, the Nashville Predators select from the Leamington Flyers of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League....RW Connor MacPherson.

Connor is very skilled offensively and blessed with terrific hockey IQ as well as a 6foot frame that he will grow into. Connor has committed to the University of New Hampshire for the 2023-24 season.

I was caught up at work. You selected the next hall of fame defender. Thanks!

 

[Schooner Guy]

I was caught up at work. You selected the next hall of fame defender. Thanks!

I didn't pick him. I was simply commenting on the auto-pick which coincidentally had the Sens picking Trent Mann's son.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I was caught up at work. You selected the next hall of fame defender. Thanks!

Matteo is Trent Mann's son, who is the Chief Scout for Sens. I totally forgot that. He was just next on the auto list.
