NHL Mock Draft Thread!!

[Newfie Bruin]

I know..it is tough to pick such a team while thinking about how much injury prone a guy is. I am just trying to pick a team that can go the distance and not a team that could go the distance if every player is healthy.

 

[Newfie Bruin]

Alright folks..Enough about the Lemieux pick. I am happy with the selection so lets move on. jtuzzi21 is on the clock wit Fredez able to pick at 1am ET

 

[VanIslander]

Okay. So we are all GMs with open pocketbooks from ownership to go out and assemble a championship team for the next season. Mario still wouldn't be the second player I'd pick. The fourth, fifth or sixth perhaps, but not the second, and I'd have been very surprised if he was anybody's first. (Five years ago, yes. Now, no.)

In other news: pick darn it, pick !

Were you able to send a PM to jtuzzi?

If you check out his profile, you'll see theres no 'send PM' option.

And to add to the weirdness, he's not on the members list either.

 

[Newfie Bruin]

I have an answer to the weirdness. I have just been PM'ed that Jtuzzi has been banned for 1 month. It would probably be best if we did a 14 team draft or unless someone wishes to take his place in the next while. Therefore, Fredez is now up.

I may take a while but i will make my pick around 1:15 ET as that is when i get home from school. Sorry for the inconvenince

Quebec Nordiques select Zdeno Chara

 

[BEAUlieve]

The Pittsburgh Penguins select Evgeni Nabokov

 

[fredez]

The Pittsburgh Penguins select Evgeni Nabokov

That was quick, I didn't even have time to PM you

 

[VanIslander]

The Pittsburgh Penguins select Evgeni Nabokov

Nabbie ! Noooo.

(I thought he'd drop to me if I waited. I thought he'd drop.)

 

[shelovesshanny]

heres a thought. how bout we use the draft order to take turns making jtuzzis pick. as in the guy second in the order gets to pick for him in the second round and the guy third in the order picks for the third round and so on. so long as everybody can honestly make the best pick possible for that team. just a thought.

 

[VanIslander]

That would mean the ones who pick right after him get to ensure their man doesn't get picked? No thanks.

That system is biased in favour of those who draft soon after him and against those who draft much farther away.

I think it's okay if we start at the end of the drafting order and work backwards. Otherwise some elite players early in the draft will be strategically avoided.

Instead, let's just continue the system: 12 hours then move on. If the guy shows up later he can pick then.

The Bruins are proud to select D Scott Neidermayer

So what happens to Brodeur? Does he go back into the draft or is he lost in limbo?

 

[shelovesshanny]

i think he should just be lost to all of us. otherwise id have been more than happy to take him in the second round!! that woulda been nice!

 

[cupfever101]

charleston is happy to select, center, scott gomez, nj

 

[VanIslander]

So what happens to Brodeur? Does he go back into the draft or is he lost in limbo?

I cannot think of a fair way of getting him. (I would have snapped him up by now as would many others)

Consider him injured or on a contract holdout, or playing a year in another league, or with a franchise having opperation problems, etc.

We are comparing our drafting skill and seeing how good a roster we can draft compared to others.

Let's keep it simple and everyone on the same level playing field. No need to tick anyone off. Let's just move on.

The Atlanta Thrashers are proud to select Jose Theodore (G) of the Montreal Canadiens.
