Eh. It is what it is. No way we could have predicted this.Now I'm starting to regret that pick swap
BB is in-division too. So you's potentially handed him one of the big-4 at pick 6. That's always the risk with pick swaps lol Oh well, like you said I don't think anyone saw this coming. It's the way she goes sometimes.

Would be pretty funny to dive through past ATDs and see if this is the lowest he's ever gone......if, indeed, he DOES get picked at 6.

Well, LL is division too, so it just shifted teams in the division. Net zero sum, I'd think.

I don't know what's wilder, Sid at the 2-spot or needing time to think about the next pick. This is also a team building game tho.

Wow, didn't check who was picked before coming back.
Wasn't my original plan, but I'm thrilled to build around this player for the first time in the 15 years I've been doing this, Mario Lemieux, C.

Hitru and I are wondering if this is the oddest beginning to an ATD yet.

lol Wouldn't have bet $1 on this happening. But it's not the first time. He went 8th in 2015, I think.

For a second there I was getting worried that my “record” of drafting Lemieux at 8 would be broken, but then I checked the draft order and knew I was safe when I saw your name at 6.

Yeah, especially since I never had him before. I really wanted to build around a "new" player this year, and had a plan for someone like that at 6th. I guess that player will have to wait another year.
Your record is safe.

I know this is more a relative career yardstick, but I was daydreaming the other day. If this was a real thing, Mario is possibly my first pick overall. He could dominate any era. Original 6 too tough for him? He's 6-4, 230 - I don't think so. New era too fast and skilled? ---> no clutch and grab, ridiculous reach, release, vision, cannot move from net, blazing top speed with one stride- I saw it firsthand sitting on the glass back in tha day. Again, I don't think so. And all the rest: he'd have taken care of that back earlier, better nutrition, tech, etc.
