Just a heads up that if it gets back to me today, I'm out most of the day but will get my pick in before the night is over.

Wanted to get a net front presence. Needed a down and dirty guy since most of my forwards are more skill guys.

I wish I could throw paper everywhere and not have to pick it up.

Zajac was my pick followed right behind by Stepan.

:(

I might as well pick for the next team cause it will be the next one I have on deck, haha.

I was really debating this pick. First, I did not expect Antoine Vermette to get drafted: I had him slated as my 4th line center. I was going to use this pick for my defense, but then saw some players I was considering - Zajac, Fisher, Schwartz - getting taken off the board. Was going to pick Stepan and throw him on the left wing, as Hockeynews says he can play all 3 positions. However, I asked Mikey for a second opinion on that and he said he'd never seen Stepan play wing.

Still decided on Stepan because I thought the 3rd line needs a playmaker. Read & Staal are two aggressive, physical players, but I am not sure of their ability to set others up. Particularly, I'm not all that excited at Staal being the main man of the line. Staal has played wing before, and I decided to keep up my plan of having at least two center-capable players on every line. So, Staal & Stepan will share the duties for centering this line, with Staal shifting to wing more often than not to be more aggressive along the boards. Stepan is a good 2-way player and can take advantage of the space that Staal/Read will open up.

Sorry, Beveridge. :/

Nothing to be sorry for. Stepan is a great pick.
