He's definitely going in like the 5th round irl.Surprised he lasted this long
To CarolinaHe's definitely going in like the 5th round irl.
My next pick is for youHe's definitely going in like the 5th round irl.
"We once again call on the Buffalo Sabres, and GM Kevyn Adams, to make the next selection."
The camera comes on, showing the ceiling of a dimly lit room, a single naked bulb lighting the area. "Come ON already. Who even works with dial-up anymore?? Comeoncomeoncomeoncomeon ... ah, okay, there.
"Where's the ... oh, crap, we're on again. JIMMY, what is WRONG with you?? The tripod is on the ground! Just ..."
A blur of movement fills the screen. Then the video reveals a haggard-looking Adams, who is bleeding from a small mark on his temple. His reddened eyes dart furiously around the area. He lifts the same battered notebook close to his face.
"Hi ... umm, yeah, the Buffalo Sabres ... ahh, are pleased to select, from Dynamo St. Petersburg ..."
"Kevyn, please don't say Daniil Prokhorov."
"Daniil ... uhh, what? Oh, why not?"
"He's been chosen, actually multiple times."
Adams lets out a whimper like he has been jabbed with a hot needle. "But I, ... okay -- JIMMY, JIMMY, get down here!!! Can't believe we can't just ... oh, okay." Adams is looking off to one side of the camera. "Uh, alright, from Yekke ... takkin ... Yakka ... from Russia somewhere, Dmitri [Adams closes his eyes and winces] .... Isayev?"
After a pregnant pause during which time nobody has told him that his pick is ineligible, Adams lets out a rattling sigh and quick closes the camera. Sounds of weeping are heard before the sound goes off, too.
Anaheim (@landsbergfan) is up now.
Smaht Scouting may or may not be one of my references.Think with Isayev gone that is every player who would be in my personal final top ~50 gone now... maybe even top 55.
still plenty of kids with hot moms left though @FLYguy3911 this is where you and I could've thrived#75: Ludvig Johnson
#76: Bruno Osmanis
Hard to pick those two given how everything fell... no clear cut BPA really in my eyes now.
Instead had maybe 7-8 guys who are all kind of the same level with similar chance of success. Probably two picks that in 5 years you look back on and one of the others you consider ends up the ~#4 Dman or ~40 point NHL forward.
So just went with gut feel on which 2 have the best chance of success...
and now have to wait with heart in mouth for 50 picks hoping one of the other guys I considered here is still there at #122!
