Mock draft for players drafted between 1984 and 2003

[MrMackey]

Nice call with Joey Mullen. Totally forgot about him when I picked

Does it matter that he signed before 1984?

 

[ES]

Had forgotten that thing from the rules. My mistake, so he can keep Mullen, but no other is able to select earlier free agents. Sorry.


Then to my pick:

Good goalie is what every team needs, so I go on with selecting Marty Turco, drafted in 1994.

 

[Fleuryfan29]

Iam also going to take a free Agent signing...
I select Free Agent Geoff Courtnall who signed in 1984 with the Boston Bruins

Wow... Rafalski already?

 

[MichaelK]

Flame_Star_Devil: With the FA pool not that large, they tend to get overdrafted. Who would have thought Ed Belfour and CuJo would go ahead of some more highly acclaimed goaltenders

I guess. I would just go with the best player available.

Drafting Strategy

I see where some people might question my strategy of drafting Belfour and Joseph as free agent goaltenders. The strategy is actually quite simple.

The free agent pool is, to state it bluntly, pathetic for the NHL. There really isnt a lot to choose from. when you can get two all-star goaltenders, with almost 800 wins between them, with the 2 free agent picks, why not. You arent going to find a lot of 500 goal scorers who were free agents, and you wont find a lot of 1000 point career players as well. Why not take the best 2 goaltenders. I can now draft strong players with each round, and go from there.

Not at all, those are two solid picks... I think its a good strategy. That's why I took Oates.

 

[TWS]

The Los Angeles Red Army select Derian Hatcher.

 

[ES]

I will be off from Tuesday evening to Friday morning. You can make draft until my next turn, which is #53.

4th Round Selection

The Hamilton Steelheads, with a proud heritage in this league, are just awaiting final approval of our selection. Here it is, and we are pleased to announce that we are selecting, with our fourth round pick, from the 1987 entry draft:

BRENDAN SHANAHAN

We thank you again for your hospitality, and will return with our next selection shortly

 

[Classic Devil]

From the free agent pool, the Dublin Celtics select centerman John Madden.

 

[ORBluesFan]

Well, the Griffins were looking at Madden for this pick, but after re-evaluating, and also going with BPA, since we are looking at players in their prime, the Portland Griffins are pleased to select:

C Eric Lindros

 

[Classic Devil]

From the second round in 1985, the NJ Devils draft centerman Joe Nieuwendyk.
