I went Carolina, Detroit, Philly and Tampa Bay.

Also, it appears Anaheim and Dallas agreed to clone Stelio Mattheos.

Good catch. Fixed.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I said Vegas, Winnipeg, AZ, and Boston. I liked my Buffalo draft but didn't want to vote for myself!

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I really liked my draft even though I only had 5 picks, so I unabashedly voted Islanders.

My next favorites are St. Louis and Arizona. Really struggled to choose my fourth, but went Philly (hard not to with so many picks), though wondering if I should've went Vegas.

 

[BernieParent]

After realizing I couldn't vote for Ottawa 4 times - once for each draft pick - I went with the Flyers (tried to be objective), Colorado, Vegas, and Detroit. A lot I know.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Hey, someone voted for me!

You probably should have voted Vegas

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Haha. Maybe. Nice job. I'm not sure about Bodak, I think that's why I decided against it, but I really liked your Boquist pick in the 2nd and thought you got some good values.

 

[SanBlom]

Carolina kicked that second rounds ass!

STOLE Glass in the first round too.

I think Ottawa did a great job stealing other things.

 

[kelmitchell]

I went carolina, philly, Detroit, and arizona, however i had a tough time deciding between arizona and st. Louis.

 

[BernieParent]

I think Ottawa did a great job stealing other things.

For Melnyk, it's all about the tangibles.

 

[Stizzle]

I went Carolina, Detroit, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay.

[Chuck Downie]

I picked Buffalo, New Jersey, Detroit and NY Islanders. I also liked Philadelphia, Vegas, Arizona and I was happy with my selections for St. Louis.

I think this is a fun way to end the mock off. Denominator will be setting up a spreadsheet to evaluate the GM's picks versus the actual draft. So, we will have a couple ways to look at how the GM's selected.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Turned out really well, Chuck. Great job.

 

[Chuck Downie]

Turned out really well, Chuck. Great job.

Thanks!

 

[Chuck Downie]

Last day for voting. Poll closes in about 7 hours. Round 2 will be posted shortly thereafter.

 

[Rebels57]

I know bias is playing a part in the votes for Philly, but I do appreciate knowing I did a decent job nonetheless!

 

[BernieParent]

I am shocked, shocked that Ottawa didn't garner a single vote. After all the minute I put into researching prospects ...

I think your draft was pretty good. But there's no doubt the amount of picks and the orange and black coloured glasses played a part

I am shocked, shocked that Ottawa didn't garner a single vote. After all the minute I put into researching prospects ...

You get a 10 out of 10 for your posts though. Bravo!
