Draft Simulator is up!

[ricky0034]

So, until the playoffs happen, our second 1st could be anywhere from 16-32, right?
That's a pretty crazy range.

technically it could still be 1st overall right now since Washington could still potentially miss the Playoffs

....not that that will actually happen

i notice , Red wings , if they like someone in the second round , they will draft him in the first .

That was under Holland, not Yzerman. (McCollum, Cholowski as 2 examples. Svechnikov too, kind of. Lindstrom was picked right before Jason Robertson despite being ranked to be very late in the draft)

EDIT: Brendan Smith, as well. CSB had him ranked 68, but he was picked 27th.

 

[Sparty]

I don't really know anything about most of these guys, but I swear I only simmed the lottery once...

1 Owen Power, LD
28 Sebastian Cossa, G
36 Xavier Bourgault, C
47 Logan Mailloux, RD
52 Red Savage, C/LW
68 Wyatt Johnson, C
90 Luke Mittelstadt, LD
100 Caden Brown, C
126 Jack O'Brien, C
131 Nolan Allan, LD
132 Jake Martin, RD
164 Josh Doan, C

Holland actually took both falling Zadina and Veleno. Yzerman got Viro , Sebrango, Hanas, Tuomisto much earlier. Draper kid , don't even want to talk about

Those were 2nd and 3rd round picks, not first round picks. I thought you meant guys ranked in the 2nd round that went in the 1st.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Gave it a spin with McKenzie's new rankings. My U of M bias is likely clear lol.

6. Luke Hughes (NTDP/UofM)
28. Mackie Samoskevich (Chicago Steel/UofM)
36. Zachary L'Heureux (Halifax Mooseheads)
47. Dylan Duke (NTDP/UofM)
68. Cameron Whynot (Halifax Mooseheads)

Not going to try my hand past that, although Dach and Ufko were names that intrigued me at 90.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

1. Power
28. Cossa
36. Mailloux
47. Bourgault
52. Robidas
68. Poltapov
90. Helenius
100. Del Mastro
126. Lockhart
131. Doan
132. Rolofs
164. Gerasimyuk

That's what I got. Upped the random.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

I keep randomizing the draft order but 9/10 we pick 5th and draft Hughes (using McKenzie)

I'd be alright with that

 

[HoweFan]

It’s harder to get the guys you want with McKenzie’s list

Yzerman and St.Louis?

 

[Oddbob]

BOO, got 6th overall. So traded down to 8th with Columbus for another early 2nd.

Chose Edvinsson with 8th.

The rest was kind of guessing as I don't know much about the lower 1st and beyond. Took Pinelli with the WSH 1st.

Detroit Red Wings

Didn't draft the LD i needed.

 

[MBH]

Tried the BMac list. Won the lottery.
(1) Owen Power, LD - Potential #1 LD
(28) Fedor Svechkov, C -Potential Top 6 center or winger.
(36) Scott Morrow, RD - Project defenseman.
(47) Anton Olsson, LD - Potential speedy, two-way D.
(52) Samuel Helenius, C - Big forward
(68) Benjamin Gaudreau, G -
(90) Brent Johnson, LD
(100) Luke Mittelstadt, LD - saw the name. Why not?
(126) Victor Stjernborg, C
(131) Aleksi Heimosalmi, RD
(132) Talyn Boyko, G
(164) Ethan Cardwell, C


W/ Helenius 6-7 - C/ Rasmussen 6-6 - W/ Soderblom 6-7
LD/ Power 6-5 RD/ Seider 6-4
G/ Boyko 6-8

 

[jfrank21]

Used Draft Prospects list, lowered the randomness and really lowered the team needs factor. Here's what I got... and I traded 28 and 52 for 24
Detroit Red Wings
(5) Matthew Beniers, C
(24) Sebastian Cossa, G
(36) Francesco Pinelli, C
(47) Evan Nause, LD

(132) Liam Dower-Nilsson, C
(164) Alexei Kolosov, G

[Oddbob]

Since we aren't getting Top 2, (you know we won't) who is the realistic guy we hope for. Beniers, Johnson, Guenther, Eklund, Edvinsson, Clark/Hughes if one goes Top 2?

 

[lilidk]

Clark

 

[Bench]

Not one of you has taken Wallstedt yet you cowards.

It's tempting just to try to shake up the drafts a bit. The few times I've toyed with it I seem to get roughly the same options if I pick sixth or later. Once I had Hughes fall to me. Also, Cossa never seems to fall to our second pick.

 

[lilidk]

His numbers went down at the end of the season, I also heard from one scout that Cossa might be better.

Cossa is getting hyped up for the last 3 months or so. Wallstedt was been solid this whole season long.

 

[DetroitRed]

(07) Simon Edvinsson..D
(27) Xavier Bourgault....C
(38) Sebastian Cossa.....G

Basically, they get sh*t picks again, no surprise, but they luck up and have some great choices left still. Anybody done that one yet?

-I think they'd use that opportunity to get the pieces they need most, although unfortunately not in the order of priority they were hoping for.

For you. Cheers, mate.

*Edit to add: so apparently, you can make your pick and then trade down. Of course, it defeats the whole purpose of the exercise, but it's kind of fun in a weird way to pick Jake Martin first overall and trade him for the second pick and change, rinse and repeat ad nauseum. I ended up with this little haul:
