Fantasy Mock Draft Part 3

[Blinny]

McNabb-Carlo would make a nasty shutdown pair

Say hello to my PK and lockdown unit when needed

also they are around for when games get nasty. 6’4 McNabb and 6’5” Carlo can clear creases out and make you pay in the corners.

I am pm-ing guys like we are doing this time

No problem. Don’t mind me I’m OCD.

Both is helpful. PM is more important, but the @ let's everyone know they've been contacted.

The @ helps me so I can easily click it. Doesn’t matter so much since I’m normally just responding to the first pm but normally it helps a lot.

All good. Just letting the boys know I am notifying and slowing it down. More for me than you lol

McNabb-Carlo would make a nasty shutdown pair

And by the end of the season, they'd have 11 points between the two of them.

Good. Then they would have done their job and let the PMDs get their points while they covered their asses lol

 

[Panda Bear]

Or they were unable to break out of their own end the entire season and got caved?

Went to post the exact same thing

 

[Blinny]

would be a problem if they played together. Pretty sure Giordano is WAY more than capable of a 1st pass and Carlo has an under rated outlet pass.

 

[Joey Moss]

Anyone who has watched either player knows they can move the puck out of the zone. This isn't Roman Polak we are talking about, that's why they are high end shutdown defenseman. You don't see Brayden McNabb coming over the boards for an offensive zone faceoff, that's not his role. He doesn't need to put up points. Stopping an offensive zone cycle, making a simple first pass and getting the puck out of the zone doesn't equal points. If you're evaluating players based on points than yikes.

We’re talking about HFBoards. Very few people actually watch all teams when they aren’t playing their own.

Which is exactly my point. Saying that McNabb-Carlo wouldn't be able to get the puck out of their end is just laughable, that's basically exactly what they do.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who knows this lol

You need a spare to kill the other one’s penalty

HFBoards are the voters though.

 

[Nucker101]

lol Dunn was who I was debating over Sanheim. Broke the tie with usage since Sanheim plays more and is sheltered way less.

Good pick @Kent Nilsson

You're one of the one's agreeing that they suck we're not talking about voters

 

[Panda Bear]

Even though Carlo can skate out the puck with poise at times while both he and McNabb can make simple-to-medium difficulty passes, neither of them specialize in moving the puck, carrying it out or finding ways to beat a heavy forecheck. They're both fine.

My post that they would be caved for being unable to move the puck out wasn't entirely serious, but it does point towards the NHL-wide move towards always having at least one blueliner on at any given time who is good at transitions. Again, those two are just fine.

 

[Panda Bear]

I'm getting pretty f***ing mad over here watching all of Bear, Sanheim and Dunn ghost past me.

Damn silver spooners.

I’m talking about the voters. Panda didn’t say it the way I would have but it’s the point that I wanted to make.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

LHD has gotten very thin in the past 15 or so picks. Funny how often a chain reaction happens in these games when one position is picked suddenly everyone is picking from the same position

 

[OB5]

Enjoying my DeBrusk-Kuznetsov-Pastrnak top line.
