[LIVE DynastySports]

Up to Daddy to confirm he's all done. Then we can open Trading window earlier before the scheduled July 11th start date.

Meaning I can change a pick if we wanted?

:LV: selects #19 from The Capitals
C Michael Sgarbossa, $0.2m (2016-2018)

Yeah there were a few vets to choose from but they were nothing to sneeze at. Not to mention I think this guy has legit upside and could possibly blossom in 2-3 years. If I'm wrong, what's it really costing me?

Amidst criticism we have reconsidered. Clearly the player with the most upside is not the one we originally chose.

:LV: will elect to draft from Washington

RW Kasperi Kapanen, $0.2m (2016-2018)

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #25 from The Maple Leafs
D Jyrki Jokipakka, $1.1m (2016-2018)

Wouldn't you bleeping bleep know it, I ended up drafting this bleeper anyway  :doh:

The draft is now complete.
Team's who were exempt (did not have a player drafted)

Tampa
Calgary
Pittsburgh
New Jersey
Anaheim

We will exempt Toronto and choose to draft from Tampa

:LV: elects to pick from Tampa
D Brendan Smith, $2.4m (2016-2019)

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #23 from The Canucks
LW Rene Bourque, $2.3m (2016-2019)

Horrible contract, but in the end we needed to add both salary and a vet forward.

We will exempt Vancouver and select from Calgary instead.

:LV: selects from the Flames
C Nate Thompson, $0.4m (2016-2018)

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #22 from The Winnipeg Jets
D Nikita Nesterov, $1.1m (2016-2018)

We like him, decent price, not a bad pick up with 3 picks left in the expansion draft. At least that's what Vegas thinks.

We will exempt Winnipeg and select from New Jersey instead.

:LV: selects from the Devils
D Danny DeKeyser, $3.0m (2015-2018)

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #24 from The Blue Jackets
RW John Mitchell, $0.2m (2016-2018)

Not a healthy pick up here, we know.

:LV: Will exempt Columbus in favor of Pittsburgh and select from The Pens

D Josh Gorges, $0.5m (2016-2018) 

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #20 from Arizona
D Cody Franson, $5.5m (2015-2019)

Your welcome Yotes...my God this may be the worst contract in the league. Good thing I can afford it. This process is a numbers game and I had to select this player for multiple reasons, which only helps Arizona.

Cheers  :toast:

:LV: will exempt Arizona and select from Columbus
C John Mitchell, $0.2m (2016-2018)

[LIVE DynastySports]

:LV: selects #11 from Panthers
LW Daniel Winnik, $0.2m (2016-2018)

Pickings were slim for such a good team. Kudos. In the end we took a cheap nobody. Depth is important in our philosophy. Hopefully this guy stays in the NHL another year or two.

:LV: will swap this player for a player on the same team and select from Florida..
D Braydon Coburn, $0.8m (2016-2018)
