7 Round 2006 NHL Entry Mock Draft - Drafting Thread.

[DJA]

Just trying to move this blasted thing along...

 

[DanStewart]

Listen guys, if you want to keep this mock moving we will all need to comit to sending private messages to the next GM after we make our pick. This is the best way to keep up the pace.

Also, if you are going to be away send a message to me with who to pick for you when your turn comes up.

Remember that the clock is only running from 8 am to midnight, Monday to Friday so do not get mad if this mock drops off on weekends or overnight.

If any GM want to back out now, let me know and I will take over picking for you. It is not fair to the rest of us GM's if you are only half heartedly into this.

Why is Foligno a bad pick? The Joensuu pick was awful, but Foligno is probably going to become a solid 2nd line center.

 

[DanStewart]

Clear your PM's once they are read.

I have tried to PM Captain Conservative but since he has 50 PM's already i recieved the following message, "Captain Conservative has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space."

If you have not deleted your PM folders (Inbox/Outbox) or checked that you wish to have email notification of a PM, please do so now.

Actually, I think CC has done a good job in this draft. PB, who would you have rather seen CC take in the 27th and 31st spots?

I know this wasn't addressed to me but:
27- Vasyunov(THE VERY NEXT PICK ), Thomas Kana, Trevor Lewis or Berglund
31: I can live with Foligno, but would have perfered Lewis, Kana or Berglund

 

[DJA]

Unless my math is way off, I do believe that Phoenix runs out of time at 4:53 p.m. ET.

(Last pick made at 8:53 p.m. last night, minus the midnight to 8 a.m. moratorium)
