Fantasy Sports: Flyers Board 2018 Mock Draft Results

[Tripod]

Just got my Hockey News today and decided to check my picks vs their rankings:

#3 Filip Zadina, LW, Halifax (QMJHL) THN #4
#35 Ty Dellandrea, C, Flint (OHL) THN #16
#38 Filip Hallander, C, Timra (SHL) THN #43
#56 Jakub Lauko, C, Chomutov (Extraliga) THN #37
#59 Kevin Bahl, LHD, Ottawa (OHL) THN #58
#66 David Gustafsson, C, Jonkoping (SHL) THN #77
#97 Axel Andersson, RHD, Djurgardens J20 (Superelit) THN #68
#102 Alexis Gravel, G, Halifax (QMJHL) THN #62
#120 Kody Clark, RW, Ottawa (OHL) THN Not in top 100
#128 Oskar Back, C, Farjestad J20 (Superelite) THN #75

That's not too bad I think. But of course we know the real draft never goes how The Hockey News goes...lol.

Great work all! After all the french this year, next year I want @RANKKA or some other Finn to pick as CBJ and in Finnish. That'll show you dingdongs what it's all about.

I do believe that's le dingdongs

I posted a thread on the Islanders board for perspective after the Islander last pick. Generally appreciated, biggest gaff was Eddenberger at #43 instead of Woo(44) or Miller(45).

Now the biggest gaff was having Snow makes the picks. In hindsight we know it should have been big bald Lou!

Was iffy on the Wouters pick when I made it, but I was in a rush that day and my other options there had been snapped up. Otherwise, not too shabby.

 

[pit]

209 - Demetrios Koumontzis - 108 (guest picked by pit)

I had some idea what I was doing here.

211 - Jackson Leppard - undrafted (guest picked by pit)

I went for a cool name here when I mistakenly tried to draft players that were already taken.

I'm a gettin' it. Armageddon it.

 

[Tripod]

#3 Filip Zadina, LW, Halifax (QMJHL) Went #6: -3
#35 Ty Dellandrea, C, Flint (OHL) Went #13: +22
#38 Filip Hallander, C, Timra (SHL) THN Went #58: -30
#56 Jakub Lauko, C, Chomutov (Extraliga) Went #77: -21
#59 Kevin Bahl, LHD, Ottawa (OHL) Went #55: +4
#66 David Gustafsson, C, Jonkoping (SHL) THN Went #60: +6
#97 Axel Andersson, RHD, Djurgardens J20 (Superelit) Went #57: +40
#102 Alexis Gravel, G, Halifax (QMJHL) Went #162: -60
#120 Kody Clark, RW, Ottawa (OHL) Went #47: +73
#128 Oskar Back, C, Farjestad J20 (Superelite) Went #75: +53

Overall, all over the map. I was +84 in total so I guess that is ok.

Shocked Hallander fell that far. And sucks that Pittsburgh grabbed him. I think he will rise in the re-drafts.

 

[Tripod]

53 - Pittsburgh - Milos Roman, auto-pick: went #122
64 - Pittsburgh - Dmitri Zavgorodny, auto-pick: went #198
129 - Pittsburgh - Kyle Topping: undrafted somehow
146 - Pittsburgh - Spencer Stastney: went #131
177 - Pittsburgh - Marcus Westfalt: went #205
208 - Pittsburgh- Declan Chisholm: went ##150

Lol...talk about 2 bad auto picks near the top of the draft!

Topping going undrafted is a shame. I wonder is something off ice is in play because it makes no sense.

 

[BigToe]

1-2 - Carolina - Andrei Svechnikov, RW, Barrie (OHL) Picked at #2
2-42 - Carolina - Niklas Nordgren, RW, HIFK (SM-Liiga) Picked at #74

7-215 - Carolina - David Lilja, C, Karlskoga (Allsvenskan) Undrafted

 

[Ruck Over]

Topping and Eggenberger really surprised me by going undrafted.

Wow didn’t notice Eggenberger went undrafted. Wasn’t he a consensus 3rd/4th rounder?

#3 Filip Zadina, LW, Halifax (QMJHL) Went #6: -3
#35 Ty Dellandrea, C, Flint (OHL) Went #13: +22

This was probably the best draft in here.

Eggenberger, Danila Galenyuk and Anderson MacDonald for me.

MacDonald was projected as a mid-first round going into the season. Wild invited him to development camp.
