Re-Draft

Cycle Like Sedins is re-drafting the league. While the whole format is still being worked out it is a cool concept. For more information and the other picks head over there.

The Hawks had the fifth pick and it was pretty obvious to me (as the Hawks GM) who I was going to pick. I'm sure a lot of people won't necessarily agree but without further ado, my pick was:

Don't be so shocked about it, Jonathan.

He's a young leader that you can build your team around. The fact that he has a scoring presence and isn't afraid to use a bit of grit helps too. Logically if you were picking the best player, I wouldn't have picked Toews next but I looked at his overall game and the fact that he stays so cool under pressure and is so respected.

I could go on and on about why I picked him but chances are if you are reading the blog, you know why I picked him even if you don't exactly agree.
