Fantasy Sports: Flyers Board Mock Draft 2018

[Ghosts Beer]

With the 148th selection of the 2018 Fake Draft, the Minnesota North Stars select, from the USNTDP (USHL), HEAVY defenseman Adam "HEAVY GAME" Samuelsson.

Can't pass up such a HEAVY REARGUARD this late. Great, HEAVY size. Surprisingly good vision for a man of his HEAVINESS. Summer birthday, so could get even HEAVIER. We'll let the whole "Ulf's son" thing slide.

@Captain Dave Poulin is up.

The word heavy should’ve been used at least once in this post. Cap being up next after this pick is perfect too.

In all seriousness, I usually prefer nimbler, quicker skaters than Adam Samuelsson, but he's still growing into his gigantic, heavy frame and only a season removed from a torn ACL, so his skating has a chance to improve. For the late 5th round I couldn't pass up taking a flyer on him. He really does have surprisingly good vision, which is my #1 preferred trait in a defenseman, and great reach. It's kind of funny, though, because there's a forward out there who I strongly considered, but I can't get past his skating, which seems stuck in mud; however, I think it will hurt the forward's chances at an NHL game more than A. Samuelsson's.

Fake T'ronto pretends to select Michael Callahan, D, from the UHL.

Someone please fix this ****ing website lol

Looks like @Ernest95 has back-to-back picks with the 'Peg.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Don't have a pick until the end of next round but it's cool/interesting to see some guys I was considering with pick 121 are still there for the taking.

Given my complete and total ignorance, though, there's probably a reason for that, lol

 

[Ernest95]

I’m going through articles and all looking at prospects trying to do well though I think we all know it won’t turn out that way with my picks haha.

 

[Ernest95]

With the 150th pick the Winnipeg jets select from the BCHL Trail Smoke Eaters Seth Barton.
AND NOW WITH THE 151st IN THE 2018 HFBOARDS MOCKDRSFT OF THE QMJHL CAPE BRETON SCREAMING EAGLES EGOR SOKOLOV.
I thought the bold fit cause they’re the screaming eagles but that may just be me

 

[BernieParent]

Thanks, @Ernest95, for the heads up. I'm on it.

Just to check, the last 2 selections were 150 and 151, correct?

With the 152nd pick of the 2018 Faux Draft, the Minnesota North Stars select Martin Pospisil, C, Sioux City (USHL).

Pospisil blew away the USHL in PIMs with 253 in 49 games, and went on a 2nd half tear offensively to end up with 37 points in 49 games. His game is trending upward, and he finished 3rd overall in the USHL Top Prospects skills testing. Minnesota is hoping for a late bloomer here who, at the very least, can be a bottom six physical presence who can skate.

3 (63) Ondrej Buchtela, D, Chomutov (Extraliga) Ondrej Buchtela - Elite Prospects
3 (86) Gabriel Fortier, LW, Baie-Comeau (QMJHL) Gabriel Fortier - Elite Prospects

Did I write the wrong numbers
Ah shit I did

As the Golden Knights' name is called to make the next selection, Gerard Gallant rises once again, all alone, to announce the pick. Gallant's face shines with the exuberance of a man in Stage III constipation as he climbs the stairs.

"With the 153rd pick in this year's NHL draft, the Las Vegas Golden Knights are pleased to select, from Lincoln of the USHL, left winger Paul Cotter."

I actually remembered to message @Chuck Downie for the next pick. (That's in my voice, not Gallant's.)

[Ghosts Beer]

After going 9 picks in 72 hours with several auto picks, we’ve done 19 picks in the last 63 hours with no autopicks. Nice turnaround.

Comment osez-vous me dire comment faire des blagues stupides sur les Français! En tant que GM des Nordiques de Québec, je suis la plus haute autorité sur tout ce qui est français!

 

[Ruck Over]

Aside from the actual evaluations that @denominator will compile at the conclusion of the mock and actual drafts (hopefully, please?) there are some clear front-runners for who won the mock draft.

In a non-specific order, the leaders so far may be: @pit, @BernieParent, @DrinkFightFlyers. They are really staying in character and giving some thoughtful and entertaining contributions to the mock.
