[denominator]

Arizona (GKJ) comes in at 12

11. Buffalo (DrinkFightFlyers). This was very close to being one of (if not the) best mocks in our draft. The only big miss was Randy Hernandez.

Into the top 10 now! Like Buffalo, the ones in this range tended to be really good with only one key miss separating them from the top drafts.

10 is Tampa Bay (Magua)

 

[Chinatown88]

Obviously we're all better GMs than the actual GMs. Freaking Ken Holland...

Appreciate all of the effort put into this and look forward to the results (although mine may stink in some rounds).

Your 1st pick was a bit of a stinker as well mate. Why did you have Liljgren picked at 4 over Heiskanen and Makar when he was universally ranked below both?

He could still end up being the best D in the draft. Hard to tell how much the mono messed up his season.

Do we really need to do this? If people were going to go by consensus, why even have the draft? This was just for fun.

I took two guys I knew had less than a 1% chance of being drafted. Make fun of my picks if you need to do that to someone.

Because I was drafting with me as the GM and making my shock the world statement. I still think he will be the best D-man in this draft and I'm surprised this is the first time someone got on me. I know it was outlandish, but I still like the pick.

Thanks for the backup. I can handle this guy though. Even with my "terrible" pick I havent seen my draft come up yet so I must have done ok by denominators standards.

Why he heff to be mad, eh?

This.

Criticizing picks goes against the spirit of the Mock Draft.

Agreed. There are some guys that werent picked at all that a lot of us fell in love with for different reasons. Jojo had a good one in Kuznetsov. Someone else had Finn Evans. There were a few that didnt get drafted at all that I think it's crazy not to take a shot on them. Happens every year. We like who we like. Sometimes the GM's/scouts do not agree for whatever reason. Maybe it's why we are doing it for fun and it's their careers. I still love Sawchenko and he's been skipped in two drafts now. Either way, it's supposed to be fun and I love that we do it. Also really appreciate the time put in by Denominator and Chuck Downie. They did a great job!

 

[Chuck Downie]

Well ****. Sorry guys, didn't mean to start this and then disappear for a week. On the plus side, Chuck, you can now end a second week with this!

No worries. It was nice to see the next bunch on a Friday

Not because I picked him, but I am shocked Maxime Fortier wasn't drafted. He played really well this past season and had a lot of exposure thanks to playing with Nico Hischier. I wish we took a shot on him instead of a guy like Lyksell.

Totally agree. I believe I took him in the 3rd of 4th round LAST year. Him and Sawchenko make me wonder what I see that they don't (and I'm sure I am the one missing something).

Magua isn't a big fan of Fortier either. I remember him saying that. I'm with you....definitely worth taking a shot on.

Ah i thought this was more exercise to try to get it right and see what players would be available at certain points rather than merely who the user liked.

Wouldn't be as fun that way in my opinion. We would just sit there using the rankings we liked most. The obvious pick for CO at that point would have been Heiskanen, but I didn't see the fun in it. I truly like Lilj and I know I'm in the minority. Makar would probably have been my second choice ...

 

[BernieParent]

Ottawa comes in at 21, and they are the first team to have no undrafted players.

Everyone below my picks should feel much shame. Then again, I was greatly helped by only having 4 picks and lucking out on Karow going way earlier than expected.

Many thanks for going to all this trouble, Denominator.

To be fair I was shamed by your picks due to your outstanding creativity for each announcement. I need work on that for next year's mock draft.

Beggars can't be choosers, and all that jazz.

When you get a moment denominator, could you finish posting your results? I want to see how rest turned out. Who came in #1?

Yeah I am curious about the top 10 too!

I like that Randy Hernandy pick! Has he gotten a tryout or camp invite anywhere or will he be entering the draft again?
