Magnus Paajarvi, I'll take a chance he's play with Yakupov this year.

Oh you booger. I had him on my crosshairs.

bazinga!

Nice pick. I also had him on my radar as a possible last pick.

Okay. I'll admit it. I had him in my sights as well.

Thanks Matt, by the way, for keeping on top of the picks.

Good news, lots of guys to trade him too!

I just answered your email Scoop.

I have to go out and get some groceries to keep the wife fed. We are fourteen weeks into our first pregnancy, and she is eating like a horse!

Booyah!

Congrats Matt!

Oh, boy, you're about to be cut off! Welcome to the club!



Encourage nursing! Start encouraging today!

"I'm so sorry Dear. I'd get up in the middle of the night to help you out, but I just don't have the equipment!"

It's good for your sleep!



If you need any other great advice, like this, I'm your man!

Oh, that is great news Matt!

I was wondering how things were going on that front. See what a good Booyah can do for you?

Congrats Matt!

That's wonderful news! You didn't say a word yesterday you dog. Congratulations! I wish you and your wife all the best and a healthy pregnancy.

How did the first three months go?

Who's up? Scoop?

It is indeed Scoop.
He has been hotter than a pistol this draft.

Here is an updated list for Round 9.

Tigers
Frogs
Row

Sorry, I got all excited with the other stuff!

Derek Roy from the Dallas Stars

Nice selection Scoop.

Frogs will take ..........Erik Cole Mon RW

Congrats Matt!

Matt, CONGRATS!!!! I have 3 of those things running around my house. I would have probably sold you one for a 3rd pick this year..LOL.....I wish you and the wifey all the best !!!

Thanks guys! Really appreciate it. We are very excited, of course, especially me who turned forty this year. Pretty soon I would qualify for fatherhood and grandfatherhood all at the same time. LOL.

I totally agree with you Greg. A little Booyah goes a long way! I appreciate your tip.

Things will definitely be changing around here at the beginning of March. I anticipate that my wife will be in charge of the input and I will be in charge of the output. I do like your advice though Scoop. Sounds very crafty. I will definitely be checking in with you veterans if anything I can't handle comes up.

In any case, I apologize for hijacking the draft thread with my news. I had not intended to do that actually. It just sort of slipped out. LOL.

So on with the draft!

Oh yeah, Chris. I have not heard of other men offering their children for draft picks before, but I am sure it happens from time to time. Perhaps I will be one of them (on a bad day). LOL.

I would asked for a 1st rounder but a 4 year old that hates the toilet is not worth much more than a 3rd. Lol ...enjoy!!!!
