I dont know too much about Lutchenko. I mean I was looking at him, and Ragulin last round and I had to pick because I was at work.

New poll series coming from me in June
Time to review recent picks:
Baldy Northcott: Northcott doesn't have a bio here, shame because he reads as a very good player, good gritty guy for sure.
Hap Day: The pick ck26 traded up for with me. As I said Day would have been one of my choices for my pick had I kept 239.
Babe Pratt: Pratt would have been the other choice and I was leaning towards Pratt. Yet another strong pick toward seventies.
Igor Larionov: "The Professor"; Good pick, used to go higher than 241 in the past but 241 seems right for him. Lach-Hawerchuk-Larionov as a 1-2-3 centre punch is going to be a good 1.
Brad Mccrimmon: A guy I've always wanted to draft but have never had. Him as a partner for Niedermayer makes a lot of sense.
Doug Mohns: A name I was looking at as well, looks like he was listed as a D/LW but played more D than Left Wing so a good pick for your defense.
Bob Goldham: In back to back picks you did your 2nd pairing on defense, makes sense that you pick Goldham. He's a good 2nd pairing defenseman here for sure, he'll play the defense to Mohn's offense.
Ryan Suter: That was 4 defenseman in a row and for my money you could have got the best. As others have said for yrs. he's been among the top defensemen in real life.
Vladimir Lutchenko: You had ? about Lutchenko, JFA. If it makes you feel better he was #1 on my list that I sent to King Forsberg and Bench Brawl earlier today.
Anyway those are my thoughts on recent picks, I'm home now and am pretty ready to pick when my turn comes up.

Edmonton Express is otc until 7:36 PM EST. His trade with mark and stoneberg's team went through.
This pick might surprise people given I just nabbed two defensemen, but I moved up with an eye towards adding another strong offensive presence from the back-end and could not pass up the chance to give my team an elite #5/strong #4.
D Sergei Gonchar
Four top five Norris finishes, seven top tens and leading the NHL in defensive scoring twice, Gonchar will not look out of place on my D.

Good call. You're set with PP defensemen now.
When I took Pratt I was specifically looking for a PP guy and Gonchar & Mohns were two other strong considerations.

Awesome pick. He'll be the best 3rd pairing defender in the league, bar-none, IMO, as well as an elite PPQB.

Gonchar was on my list as well, as far as offensive defenseman go there are not many better than him at this stage of things.

Where are we guys? 
Another case of trade without updated op?
I'm at work Friday morning, just before 9am and in my 7 minutes of free time I have read some stuff but don't know how close our team is.
Maybe I'll have more time later in the morning to figure it out. OUT.

BB sent me this...
BenchBrawl said:Montreal select Frank Fredrickson, C.Along with Trottier and Modano, this addition should provide Montreal with a very strong two-way center line on the first three lines.

I'm out of town for the weekend and only on my phone. Jarek or one of the other mods will have to update the draft list

Alright with pick 249 Toledo goes back in time a little here.
We select defenseman Mike Grant.
Not much is known about Grant but from what is known he was one of the first stars in hockey. A good rushing defenseman who could play physical as well. Glad to have him on the team.
Leaf Lander has been notified on Facebook he's up. I'll be around until 10:30 Pm EST in case Pick 252 comes up.

I mentioned that I went for wrist surgery. The operation is over and my right hand is bandaged up.
No, I have not turned into Captain Hook.
