Herberts Vasiljevs

This pick is like bacon wrapped filet mignon.

My bad folks! Let's try this again... Florida selects Alex Tuch. @BBKELLY99

Nvm.

Wow. Two big D swingin' picks right there to cap off the 1st round...

He wasn't at the top of my list for 11, but I'm insanely jealous of your pick...

Anyone got thrago on speed dial?

LOVE this pick!

Florida could not be any happier to take Russian super-goalie, Igor Shesterkin. There was debate about whether Andrei Vasilevskiy might be the pick here, but Shesterkin is younger, is on a fantastic contract (at least in the short-term), and is the favourite to score the next goalie goal in the NHL. Vasilevskiy's workload over the last few years was also cause for concern. There were great players still available like Rantanen, Pastrnak and Kaprizov, but finding a goalie of Shesterkin's calibre is nearly impossible to find. And no, he won't be wearing the C for our club.

Florida selects Igor Shesterkin. @Bob.Loblaw

FYI I'm not actually HV. I'm just a div D beer leaguer...

Yup. And that's our boy Jim Hughson with the call on the goal.

Fun fact: I am a former Florida Panther.

Very solid selection. He's someone I was eyeing at 11.

Florida. Bringing back John Vanbiesbrouk.

SabreFan was a beauty. I miss him around here.

Who is the best goalie from this class?

Cool guy!

I love the Toropchenko comparison put forth by the Guelph staff. Having him play in Guelph I think will put his development further on the right track!

Simpletons everywhere act like they know something that the other GMs don't, or there are people who get paid to drum up that crap because there are enough low-lifes on twitter who feed off of that. Imagine not having a life and not getting laid, so you succumb to that sort of sh!t with your free time. Me, I'd rather pimp up Willander to my wife, and just enjoy the game for what it is. That's just me, though...
