The way I interpret the categories, the Clones are more than anything an opportunity to run history a second time. This means I don't want hockey sense. I want freaks. I had three names on my initial list for the swing here and while friend of the franchise @mja has wisely taken one off the board, he's also kindly left me with the selection I would have made at 1OA.
What if the best Goalie to ever play was given a chance at the highest levels before his Age 26 season and a starting job before Age 29? What if he wasn't criminally wasted on a non-competitive franchise? Let's find out.

@Strawberry Fields Be nice, please. Twice. <3
Danke shön.Like I said, I'm after irreplaceable freaks of nature. Human lightning bolts that can only occur again via Cap's generous cloning gift.

@Hollywood Couturier Based on your previous post, I assume you're pleased with who we've left for you.
Ohhhh ok, so I actually was right.Well it's now the premier franchise in the Quackverse to make their first selection in this prestigious Seventeenth Phase. Who would have thought we'd get here? Certainly not I. I hope that you all remember this for the rest of your lives and when your ancestors talk to you about this shitshow of a time period in the world the only think you'll want to talk about is the Quackverse.
Now with all of that said, we're ready to make our pick. A pick that we probably couldn't have telegraphed more if we tried. Somehow @Striiker wasn't able to figure it out and for that i'm thankful.
This man is player that i've been trying to cheat my way into acquiring but my duty and honor to the Quackverse would not allow it so instead my brother decided to throw @Strawberry Fields a bone because he signed up for hockey reasons and well... it's been a long while since hockey reasons. Once I saw the draft order I had my doubts that he would fall to me but it was good to see that a large number of our franchises continue to hold one of the main tenets of the Quackverse to be true which is that hockey is stupid. Maybe he wouldn't have even went if hockey wasn't stupid but we're proud and very happy to add him to the franchise.
We're talking of course about my favorite player of all time, Peter Forsberg. This man helped me fall in love with the game of hockey. This man is also probably to blame for turning me into a diehard Flyers fan so for that he may lose some points and I may resent him just a little bit but... that's neither here nor there.

We also like that dynamic that Clone Peter Forsberg may be the only Peter Forsberg to actually exist in the Quackverse sans a guy sitting around in Hay-On-Wye waiting for his dear leader @Chinatown88 to return.
With all of that said, @JojoTheWhale you're up.
Cap i'll let you know his position after I pick again in 5 picks.
Because you picked right in front of me...Ohhhh ok, so I actually was right.This is what I had initially thought you didn’t want sniped, thanks to your profile picture and the fact that people were going through top older players again, but then I second guessed myself and thought that couldn’t be it because why the hell would I be the one you were worried about sniping it?
#confirmed your franchise will never win anything.Gotta get the duo back together before someone steals him. Clone Ghost must play with...
Clone C/LW - Claude Giroux

That's just cornering the market.I briefly considered MacKinnon for a clone pick before my dumbass realized I have him on my actual team.
I actually didn't understand what happened for a second there.I saw the gif placement screwup. Impeccable timing.![]()
