Goalienut's Prospect Draft Thread

[Bruinsyear]

Well unfortunately it doesn't look like we will make much of a dent tonight. Im heading out to the bar. Please disregard any picks that I make after 2 am for I may not be thinking clearly...kiddin.

 

[a8thegreat]

come on already. sorry just really impatient I have been looking forward to this all day.

 

[goalienut]

as was I. He did say in a post that he was somewhere until 5. Maybe he's on a way different timezone.

 

[Crosby=Gretzky]

The clock is around 8:30 AM. Isn't the time's up now?

 

[Chuck Schwartz]

Sorry fellas, I worked until 5 central time. And never returned home. Figured I wouldnt get the #1 pick but o well. None the less...

The Minnesota Wild are pleased to select with the first selection in Goalie Nut's Prospect draft, Sidney Crosby.

I was going to pick him in the 19th round, with the 304th pick. I'm willing to trade my 18th round selection for him.

This has the makings of possibly the longest draft ever

 

[Bruinsyear]

[goalienut]

[Corvus Corax]

I'll never under stand why people sign up for drafts and don't show up? I know it takes a little commitment but you know this ahead of time when you sign up.

Because if you have a 12 hour time period to pick, and your busy, your priorities probably arent going to be the Mock Draft.

 

[a8thegreat]

I think at this rate i can prepare to make my pick on Thursday.

 

[goalienut]

Finally
He e-mailed me with his pick.

 

[goalienut]

The New York Rangers are Proud to Select:

Alexander Ovechkin

Well when you are PMed by the guy running the draft saying it starts at 6 pm and no one shows up during the first weekend of the draft thats alittle crazy.

 

[goalienut]

He just e-mailed me. He is signing up, just waiting for the conformation e-mail.

 

[a8thegreat]

just for an fyi when i signed up in dec i never received a confirmation email.

 

[goalienut]

Alright we keep on going,
The Atlanta Thrashers are proud to select,

KARI LEHTONEN

That sounds kinda familiar

 

[fischer8]

You took the guy I wanted...but after much thought, with the 4th pick I'll take Evgeni Malkin.

 

[goalienut]

Interesting that you passed on Phaneuf

 

[fischer8]

To be honest, he wasn't in consideration much for me. I really wanted Lehtonen to get a possible franchise goalie, but he was taken the pick before. Looking at available prospects, it seems like defensive prospects are in great supply. Yes, some of them aren't as great as Phaneuf, but there are some good ones out there for later rounds.

I took Malkin because I was concerned about the Center position. It seems like there aren't as many first-line centers out there. There are some good centers, but all the stuff that I've seen about them have alot of them being pegged as 2nd liners. So I wanted to grab a top line center with my pick, before they were gone.

And I PMed hedberg16 after I made my pick.

 

[Hedberg]

The Phoenix Coyotes select, from Red Deer of the WHL, Dion Phaneuf

 

[Bruinsyear]

Now we are moving!

 

[djscooter]

Yea at the expence of two guys i was hopping would fall to my pick, lethonen and phaneuf
