The draft is on hold momentarily. I've talked with the Staff and with the WhatsApp group and pretty much everybody agrees that you just don't pick a guy like Marchessault 2nd overall. I'm waiting to hear back from ursanator (Bill), hoping to find a quick solution to this.

Hes young, great contract, and has scored 30 goals multiple times. If thats how he wants to build a team good for him. Some guys might not value 10m contracts no matter who they are. My opinion

But on a point Pete made, at that point, select BPA and you've got all summer to shop him around if you want to. Sure there's someone who would want to trade for mcdavid or the like

You just don't pick Marchessault at 2nd overall, you just don't. You either trade down because no one is gonna pick him in top 10, maybe not even top 20, or then you take an elite player and trade that player for Marchessault++++

I mean there are much better players than Marchessault who are on good contract, like Kucherov, Hall and MacKinnon for crying out loud.

I know everyone should get to decide what to do with their team, and that's true, but the 1st pick is so crucial, if you don't pick an elite player with that, then you obviously aren't planning on succeeding and we don't want GMs like that here.

If the staff is gonna influence how guys build their team im less excited about this league. If i get told i cant take someone at 19 that would suck. Take mcdavid at 3 and lets roll. Theres a lot to take into account with 20 teams and limited resignings so if hes happy with the pick, good. Hes been active, im not gonna question his motive. Let him keep marchy amd put some side cash on your teams records for next season if you dont think hes gonna be good. Is this gonna be the last questionable pick? Slippery slope..

Bill is indeed active and just got a word from him he is really happy with the pick. But pretty much everyone thought "what the hell" when they saw the pick and as a Commish it made me react. Do we really wanna let this Marchessault pick go through? I dunno, Bill seems like a great fellow, hopefully he knows what he is doing...

And Kevin, you can't really compare a 19th pick to a 2nd pick. At 2nd overall you are able to get an elite player, you should not pass an opportunity like that IMO.

I would rather have a whole team that is good than a team of some superstars ,medium and bums. This may not be how some would do it but there is more than 1 way to build team. When I draft it is for players I want not for trade bait . I am happy with my pick -- continue draft .

I agree with the others. Shocking pick but he paid his money, he gets ta play. But Bill don't blow this league leaving a crap team behind that we can't get a new GM to take, please.

At first everyone was shocked "no way what the hell" and now it seems like everyone is going "let's just move on with the draft, let him pick JM if he really wants to".

I want to give Bill a chance to prove us all wrong, so let's just move on as that's what everybody seems to want. It just feels so wrong and dirty to get to pick McJesus at 3rd overall but what the hell.

Wow really? He is the best skater in the world. Sure he has a 10 Mil Cap Hit in MHL, but he is more than worth hit.

Oh well, it's wither McDavid for me or a goalie. I will make my decision shortly.

This is a valid concern.. I hope there isn't this much scrutiny on trades and picks going forward. I know this is a special case but we have to trust the GM are doing what they think is best and if it isn't intentional or collusion they should be allowed to build their team as desired.

Young starting goalies are more valuable fantasy wise IMHO. McDavid will produce for a longer span than them probably but still they get like 80-100 more fantasy points per year than he does. Sorry, Fedro, blew our strategy again.

Just a reminder: back to back picks are counted as one pick in the draft clock, so you don't get 16 hours, just the normal 8 hours.

But fortunately Frank doesn't have back to back picks so whatever. ;)
