1. :admirals: Portland Admirals – FORFEITED
It really is a shame that the Admirals will not have their first overall pick, and based on the punishment; this might not be the last #1 overall that they give up. This, however, is an impartial draft writer’s perspective, so I won’t be discussing this any further. Best of luck to Portland though!

2. New England Wolfpack – RW Mikko Linna
If I had stated at the beginning of the campaign that ej27, or Mikko Linna would be the first player off the board, many might have called me crazy. But Linna has performed quite well both on and off the ice. He was a leader on the ice for the Kelowna Knights team who gave Western Conference Champs Colorado a good run for their money in the penultimate playoff round. Mikko Linna also has the most TPE and has shown some real good activity on the site. He also knows lil, a key piece of the Wolfpack franchise who may have an inside track to bringing this prized RW to New England. Thanks to the situation, the Wolfpack can pick whoever they would like, and I feel they cannot go wrong here!

3. Manhattan Rage – C Gunnar Rask
The Rage made waves last draft when they selected the future core of their defense, Chris Crutchfield, second overall. Now a season has passed and Manhattan still has the liberty of taking the second player of the draft. Despite a few choices, I don’t think they go defense here, or goalie for that matter, because #2 and #8 filled those picks respectively last season. So, enter Gunnar Rask. “Advantage” is who I have as the first recreate off the board. That is not me saying he is a better choice than 701, because, well, I don’t feel that way. But I do feel Gunnar Rask better fits the future scheme of a Manhattan team that has a solid amount of youth to build around.

4. Seattle Riot – G Michael McFadden
Being a goalie myself, I always pay extra special attention to the goalie prospects that come around. This season, one of them stood out in a big way. Abdeezy is a site veteran, he has over 20 thousand posts around the SHL forums and seems to be well liked by many. He also might be filling a role needed by the Riot. Seattle was in the market for a goaltender last draft, I know this because GoB was considering selecting me, had I not been taken by the West Kendall Platoon. An underwhelming statistical season has left the Seattle faithful upset with the performances in net. Phil Osgoode may be active enough, but it is not translating to as much on-ice success as they might like. I think McFadden is a sure enough choice, given that Seattle has two more picks this round.

5. New England Wolfpack – D Jackson Cartier
Ah, 701, maybe the most enigmatic member on the site who is not Maria Maximova. :D I know some people have mixed feelings about him, but I am a fan of the guy and we get along well so I believe he would be a great asset to any of these teams. I had the Wolfpack take a newbie forward, so now I have them picking the opposite, a recreated defenseman. Aside from being a good player on the ice, Jackson Cartier also brings a great deal of activity to the locker room and to the site itself. A veteran member, Cartier knows his way around the site and would be a very useful mentor for some of the newer people.

6. Los Angeles Panthers – D Quinn Stevenson
I am still unsure as to whether to call Quinn’s In the Bin a new player or a recreate. He has certainly re-established himself into the community and from what I can tell, gotten back into everyone’s good graces. However, there is still the wild card factor. I have heard some say, “It happened once, it could happen again.” On Quinn going inactive, so that’s why I think the sixth pick is a safe bet for him. Plus, LA could use some added defensive firepower, which QS certainly brings.

7. Hamilton Steelhawks – D Marc Andre-Moreau
There is a multitude of talented defensemen in this draft, so I went ahead and put three in a row. Don’t, worry that will change next pick. But Moreau is quite the player both on and off the ice. Treant has certainly been a great member and a big participator in the community. He has done play by plays for playoffs, post game shows, and plenty of articles as well. This involvement and recognition should make him a prize for anyone who can take him.

8. West Kendall Platoon – C Wiljian Zjang
There might be a tad bit of personal bias here for the pick of the organization of which I am a member, but this is a good pick in my opinion nonetheless. Wiljian Zjang was a latecomer to the SMJHL, but I have gotten to know him a bit and would really like my organization to take a shot on him. For someone that was a bit later than most others, he has made up a great deal of TPE, and I think he would be a great part of the West Kendall organization.

9. Manhattan Rage – RW Bennett Jones
With the third pick in the draft, I had the Manhattan Rage selecting a recreated center, Gunnar Rask. Now he needs a linemate. Bennett Jones could be just the guy they asked for. Rrireal is a very good member, he is active, posts enough to be known and has proven to be just a general nice guy. I think Bennett Jones is the kind of player who could make the supposedly slow Rage locker room into an active one. As far as on the ice, Jones is a scoring forward who could add some potency to the Manhattan offense.

10. Edmonton Blizzard – D Prince Daniel James
I don’t really know all too much about the Edmonton franchise, they are a team I never really looked at. But I have gathered that they have a core of current members who carry the team and the locker room. With this, they might be more inclined to take a recreate, and a talented one at that. James has been a good player on the ice, and while he may not be the most outgoing person, he is a good guy and has the experience that should help out a franchise like Edmonton shore up their defense.

11. Seattle Riot – C Kjell Eide
The Riot have three picks in round one. I had them select Abdeezy’s goalie first, and I actually project that they will take one of each, so to speak. Now they take a forward, the centerman Kjell Eide to be exact. If the Platoon don’t take Zjang at 8, I want them to take Eide. But since I have Eide falling to 11, the Seattle Riot should be sure to scoop him up. He is a great guy who has a dynamic player who I feel would be an automatic asset to any franchise!

12. Seattle Riot – D Marc-Andre Malkin
This must be the year of the “Marc-Andre M.’s”. Malkin is the son of hockeyis66, another successful defenseman named Lord Vader. Vader was drafted higher in the first round, but I think Malkin has just as much potential. For a kid so young, he has been a very solid TPE earner and has contributed some fun articles to the media section already. Taking a goalie and a center with their first two picks, the Riot should definitely grab a defenseman at 12. Malkin seems like the perfect one!

I know you know lil but I figured since Linna also knows lil and he has more TPE he would be a better fit to New England

I think he's talking 5th overall, which would make me 6th, and going to LA :o

But why would they go two right wingers? We will never know!
