Official HF 2005 Mock Draft thread

[VanW27]

ATTENTION! I received a PM notifying me that it is now my pick. I think people got confused and jumped ahead. Borro has not selected yet. He is working on a trade down, and likely won't pick until early tonight.

With that said everyone is on the board but Crosby and Brule. PLEASE don't jump like this even if you're only predicting the next pick.

SO ON THE CLOCK AS OF 12:55pm IS BORRO WITH THE 3rd OVERALL PICK FOR THE CAPS!

Sorry i was told it was my pick anyways im still willing to trade down to pick up a second rounder.

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

No need to be sorry... it was just confusion because Legionaire couldn't contain the excitement

I just wanted to keep it from going out of control.

 

[BabyBennettov]

I've got the 7th pick overall and I would like to trade up or trade down since the guys I projected are available higher or lower ! I've cleared my Inbox so it should be fine with the proposals !

I could part with the pick for a top-defenseman... What I would like is to get a quality prospect and a first if I trade down !

Thank you guys !

 

[KILLger]

If we play along for more than two rounds, the 'Canes have:

• Atlanta's 3rd
• Phoenix's 3rd
• Dallas' 4th
• Toronto's 4th

[Legionnaire]

Ok, Well then why did Legionare pick for Borro?

That is fine.

If Borro hasn't selected yet. Columbus, Phoenix please waite and consider the options.

I didn't pick for him.

 

[Fighter]

Anaheim is open to both trade up or down till the 15# spot.
Let me know what you have to offer, I'm willing to offer something interesting to move up.

 

[borro]

I'm here and will be picking or trading down within an hour or so. Be patient a tad longer, I just got off work.

 

[borro]

The Washington Capitals are pleased to announce the addition of Fedor Tjutin and the Rangers 6th pick in the first round for the 3rd pick and Jason Doig. Waiting for confirmation.

 

[Legionnaire]

I don't understand that trade. You're giving up Tjutin for Johnson?

 

[borro]

I don't understand that trade. You're giving up Tjutin for Johnson?

This deal has not been confirmed. That was what was agreed upon.

 

[borro]

I don't understand that trade. You're giving up Tjutin for Johnson?

First he tries to make my pick for me, now he tries to make my trades for me.

Yeesh!

 

[Legionnaire]

First he tries to make my pick for me, now he tries to make my trades for me.

Yeesh!

You really should just keep Johnson.

 

[BobMarleyNYR]

NYR rejects the trade... my apologies to Borro, and everyone else. I did agree to it, but decided against it last minute.

 

[borro]

OK Bob, your call...at 9:15 my time, (23 minutes) this agreement is null and void.

 

[EroCaps]

OK Bob, your call...at 9:15 my time, (23 minutes) this agreement is null and void.

What are you doing? Johnson is blue chip.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

What are you doing? Johnson is blue chip.

I don't think the actual draft takes this long to complete............

 

[borro]

Ok looks like no interest in a deal... The Washington Capitals select:

Defenseman Jack Johnson

 

[borro]

I don't think the actual draft takes this long to complete............

True but you don't have to wait for GM's to get off work!

 

[markov`]

Top Shelf is on the clock...

 

[EroCaps]

Ok looks like no interest in a deal... The Washington Capitals select:

Defenseman Jack Johnson

 

[borro]

Thank you. You would have like my other deal too. Trust me.

 

[markov`]

If Johnson is indeed off the board, Columbus then selects Bobby Ryan with the #4 pick.

Bobby Ryan for Columbus...

 

[markov`]

vanwycken27 is on the clock

 

[FacelessButcher]

I don't understand that trade. You're giving up Tjutin for Johnson?

No he was attempting to drop 3 spots in the draft and give up a player of negligible value (Doig) for a very good prospect in Tjutin.

 

[EroCaps]

Thank you. You would have like my other deal too. Trust me.

At first glance it looked like quantity over quality (Johnson).
