Another interesting thing about Curie is that only one of the top 8 picked another in the top 8 as their pick (and the offer was declined.) I'm not a scout and don't pay attention to that so I asked a scout yesterday. He said he though it was because many of the top seeds were low goal scorers so didn't want to pick another low goal scorer.

(I'm a mentor on the #8 team on Curie)
