Man 2014, I wasn’t even alive back then.

 

[flyersdad]

The eventually werenski pick for Matt moulson. This was a fun read

 

[edguy]

3 drafts, 3 current NHLers picked by me.. wow I am good at these

 

[edguy]

To Tampa Bay: Gabriel Landeskog, Ryan O'Reilly
To Colorado: Ryan Callahan, Brett Connolly, Adam Erne, Slater Koekkoek, Nikita Kucherov, Tyler Johnson

Still pretty happy with this deal. Gave up Landy and O'Reilly, but Kucherov just makes everything else a win for me in this deal.

(Fun fact also the only deal I may have done okay in )

 

[MasterMatt25]

Whoever the Habs GM was, why you be picking Bleackley all the time

 

[My Cozen Dylan]

3 drafts, 3 current NHLers picked by me.. wow I am good at these

I had 4 (well, I drafted Bennett twice) so not much better .

 

[McMozesmadness]

Happy to say I was there from the start. Haha.

My 2014 mock 1.0 was awful. Haha.

 

[Stud Muffin]

Jesus was I terrible haha. Only NHL game so have are from Reinhart.

Be interesting to see who has the most games played among there picks.

 

[MinJaBen]

Just a point of clarification, Canes never selected McKeown in the draft. He was picked by the Kings and then traded to the Canes along with a 1st for Sekera.

What’s it like to be 5 ?

"To Anaheim: Steve Ott

Whoever was the GM of Anaheim needs to be permabanned from this website

It’s okay, I miss my diapers and my pacifier.

 

[BStinson]

I can see I was high on Adrian Kempe the entire year... so glad I don’t make front office decisions, people on these boards would crucify me! Although makes me want to do the next round of mocks you host.

To Philadelphia: 91st Overall, Nail Yakupov, Martin Gernat, Mark Arcobello
To Edmonton: 60th Overall, Brayden Schenn, Braydon Coburn

That would have been Chiarelli's best trade in Edmonton!
