[calder candidate]

I hate you. Both drafts I got cucked from taking him as my sleeper.

Last time I waited a bit longer to take him but there was already 2-3 goalies taken and I don’t think he is as big of a sleeper anymore so I took him early.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Alright, that's it for today. I'll put up the 5th round sometime tomorrow night. We're about a third of the way through the 4th.

@Twisted Sinister has til 9 a.m. tomorrow to pick for Minnesota.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

OP is updated to latest pick.

 

[Twisted Sinister]

Minnesota, who finally has a chance to pick when they're not randomly out of the house (at 2 am on a Sunday) would like to thank @MarkovsKnee for holding a lovely draft as usual. We would also like to congratulate the Edmonton Oilers for being completely unable to acquire even semi-competent goaltending to compete in the Stanley Cup Final.

With that, Minnesota proudly selects:

Arsen Taimazov from MHK Dynamo Moskva/Irbis Kazan.

@Schooner Guy

San Jose will definitely up their prospect system with the last 2 drafts. Good draft.

Last year, they got Smith, Musty & Halttunen. They also have Bystedt, and picked up Edstrom from Vegas. Halttunen, Edstrom & Bystedt give them size & power. Celebrini, Smith, Eiserman (if they get him), and Musty some quality skill depth.

We're at #117, Ottawa. Only 13 picks left in 4th round, so 5th round is up.

Yes San Jose will be good in a couple of years. Wanted to take a Dmen at 13 but they where all taken

 

[Schooner Guy]

Sorry guys. Worked today, rushed home for supper and then went to the ball field. I didn't receive a PM which would go directly to my inbox and alert me that I'm picking.

Since nobody else has picked, I'll have the Ottawa Senators take Jack Pridham, RW for Kelowna of BCJHL with the #117 pick.

I will PM @SwiftyHab
