2005 HFNHL Draft Order

[HFNHL Red Wings]

Remember gentlemen that this year's draft will snake (30th picks 31st in the second round etc.).

As I announce this I wish I could see a particular GM's face as he realizes he traded away the pick that will end up being Sydney Crosby.

The drafting teams may have changed as I'm sure there are a few of these picks that have been traded since but are not yet updated on the site.

2. ANA ANA
3. MTL PHX
4. BUF BUF
5. NJD BOS

BTW - Don't kill the messanger ISS and another group did mock lottery drafts and ours turned out to be the least bizarre outcome of the three I've seen.

I have to ask...Rob, Ville, either of you remember what the deal for that pick was?

 

[Hossa]

Well, after winning the last two lotteries, I wasn't holding my breath for a third one.

I will say right now though, that I am looking to trade up, for a top five pick, well, 2-5 pick I guess. So, any inquiries, send them to [email protected] or on MSN at the same address.

Man-o-man...

[Ohio Jones]

Quoth the Bruin, "Ouch!".

 

[HFNHL Commish]

Wow...in a way, it's almost depressing to have the #2 pick! So close!!!

No pleasing some people!

 

[Vaive-Alive]

I have to ask...Rob, Ville, either of you remember what the deal for that pick was?

I found it.

To COL: Afinogenov + ATL 1st 2003 + BOS 1st 2005 + STL 7th 05
To BOS: Markov + NJ 1st 2005 + BOS 2nd 2004

Was quite a while ago and it's how I acquired NJD 1st, which I thought would have a far better chance of landing Crosby 2 years ago as you had started your rebuilding phase. Where was that crystal ball...

Man-o-man. Lottery. What can you do!

No regrets...at least I pick 5th instead of 29th

Still...Crosby...

[Brock]

19th.....yuk!

Oh well, maybe Crosby will fall.

 

[Dr.Sens(e)]

Man, that really sucks.

Dallas would have been one of the bottom three teams without a doubt, and there pick now falls all the way to 18. And the Blues picks falls just short of the bottom. All of a sudden the trade I made thinking I had a sure lottery pick looks much less impressive.

Alas, I soldier on....

 

[HFNHL Red Wings]

19th.....yuk!

Yeh, sorry about that. You were the last of the '3 ball' teams at 19th. In comparison that was one of the better results of our lottery in that the other two mock one's had one or two such 3 ball teams that fell all the way to the 20's.
The real oddity of all this is that in every version, ours included, a single ball team won the lottery. I'm extremely curious to see if that happens in the NHL lottery next week.

 

[Hossa]

With the NHL only doing a 7 round draft, are we going to stop at 7 as well?

 

[Wildman]

Re: 2005 Pick

3 first first round picks in 2005 (including Tampa's) and I get 11th, 24th and 29th. This really hurts

I hadn't heard that particular piece. While I have my own thoughts on the matter we havn't discussed this and so the answer is 'I don't know'

When did you got my 1st in 2005? I traded it to SJ years ago, what did you have to offer to SJ?

I am happy that my pick didnt end up with the 1st overall pick. I guess I can live with a 11th overall pick being lost.

You originally traded me your pick for my 2nd, Liv and something else (can't recall) then I traded the pick to SJ for Jeff O'Neil and I got the pick back along with SJ 1st and Saprykn for Scott Niedermayer.

Yeah. well my three first rounders are 14th, 22nd and 27th!

I am going to look to move up into the top ten, willing to part with a couple of those picks to do so.

[Ville Isopaa]

1, 10, 26... I'm more than satisfied.. although it could have been 1, 5 and 10 as I remember it as me being the one who pushed for the ATL1-NJ1 addition to the deal.. I guess now I'm going to be recieving daily offers for the 1st ov..

 

[Ville Isopaa]

I'm looking to move up a few spots with the 10th alternatively a few more spots with the 26th pick.. I have 4 2nd rounders and 3 3rd rounders that can be used as well as other picks, prospects and players...

 

[HFNHL Red Wings]

FYI, Detroit 'may' consider trading down from the 9th pick for the right deal. I'm so used to drafting in the 20 something range I don't know if I can deal with the pressure that comes with a top 10 pick

 

[Tampa GM]

Is it the same order in all rounds? Since I had the 11th pick in the 1st I get the 41th overall as my 2nd pick?

 

[Ville Isopaa]

Is it the same order in all rounds? Since I had the 11th pick in the 1st I get the 41th overall as my 2nd pick?

No. It's a snake draft, so your 2nd rounder should be the 50th overall. Your 3rd rounder should be the 71st overall, etc. etc.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Just to check...the Islanders ORIGINAL pick is 29, yes? I have their 2nd...just want to be sure.

 

[Brent Burns Beard]

i guess no one in the HFNHL league office got the memo that PIT was supposed to WIN this thing ..

sigh ... 30th instead ..

 

[Tampa GM]

It seems like I cant attend the live draft tomorrow. Who should I mail my list to? Should I mail in just three rounds or all seven?

 

[HFNHL Commish]

You can mail your list to me, Martin...first 3 rounds only.
