Fantasy Sports: Flyers Board Mock Draft 2018

[DrinkFightFlyers]

La police secrète du Québec a terminé son enquête et a découvert qui avait déjà piraté notre compte. Comme prévu, ce sont les ennemis les plus notoires du Québec, Carl et Bonnie Lindros. Des mandats d'arrêt ont été émis, mais ces deux criminels sont en fuite depuis 1991.

Maintenant que le désagrément est écarté, les Nordiques sélectionnent Adam Liska, C, des Rangers de Kitchener de la Ligue de l'Ontario.

With 172nd pick in the 2018 NHL, the New Jersey Devils select Ryan Savage(RW) out of Omaha of the USHL. Ryan is committed to Miami University(Ohio), home of the 2ft tapeworm.

@Magua you're up!

 

[WheresMySnare]

Forgot to add he is the son of former Flyer, Brian Savage. Everyone remembers him!

 

[Magua]

I was worried because I did not know what things would look like after not picking for 2 rounds! It's hard to find players I've actually scouted this late. But I was surprised there was one still there, who actually is in my top 62 ......


With the 173rd pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, the Columbus Blue Jackets are proud to select from the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the USHL, Alex Steeves (LW).

---------------------------

I think Steeves is the best first-time entry forward I've watched from the USHL. I was surprised he was here, as Jack Drury and Blake McLaughlin went round 2, and I felt that Steeves gave me more pro vibes than the latter, while being more skilled than the former. Even all things equal between them, Steeves went round 6, which is quite the gap. Maybe another Laczynski? 57 points in 55 games, best player on his team, no statistical anomalies, a real heavy sub player with good puck skills and shooting and smarts. Needs to improve burst, but in full stride, it flashes above-average. Notre Dame recruit, and they recruit well (Spencer Stastney is also going there). Was pleasantly surprised when I saw Pronman had him # 63 too.

@Patrick Division -- you're up pal. I'll send a PM too.

I don't think there's any chance Steeves makes it to 173 in the real draft. He's been on my shortlist for a while and, if he made it to 178, it would have been between him and one other player who is still out there. His only real negative is his size.

I expect ~ round 4. USHL drafting is weird though, so who knows? He's similarly built to NAK, but not the skater he is, so he's not slight or anything. But he could improve the feet, which combined with being 5'11 might be viewed as a negative. Really the USHL tends to get underrated anyway, even if I think this is a relatively weaker crop.

Round 4 seems about right. He's not an elite skater for his size, but he's not bad. I thick NAK is thicker and stronger, but Steeves seems to have good vision & did well on an offensively thin team. I still think Steeves' size could be a problem at the pro level, especially because his feet aren't top tier, but at least he has a fairly broad build. A lot will depend on how much muscle and strength he can put on.

The list. Hand it over.

[Tripod]

I pick in 3 picks but am away golfing and have not been on much this weekend. Any volunteer that will be around today/tomorrow that I could send my top 3 guys to pick when my turn comes up?

You can send me your list.

 

[BernieParent]

The board has been back to normal function for me in the last week. For about a week or so prior to that it was loading very slowly with constant hangups.

It was much worse last week but has still been pretty dicey up until a couple of days ago. Much worse with my phone than with desktop.

 

[GKJ]

With their second 6th round pick, the LA Kings select:

Trey Fix-Wolansky, RW, Edmonton (WHL)

​

Been able to pile up numbers on a bad Oil Kings team, but at this spot, more than worth it.

 

[Tripod]

You can send me your list.

My pick for Pittsburgh has been sent to him so please notify him when Pitt is up!

I don't know why but Trey's face makes me think immediately that he has a great deal for me on a new washer-dryer.

 

[SnS]

Sharks select D Mac Hollowell. (I don’t believe he’s been taken.

Sorry for the delay just got home from work.

 

[Chuck Downie]

selects Marcus Westfalt.

Marcus Westfält at eliteprospects.com

GM @FlyTimmo is up.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Westfalt is another player who has been on my shortlist for the last couple of rounds. His skating had scared me off from taking him, but with Steeves gone I was leaning toward him two picks after Tripod got him for Pitt (figures he had to take over Pitt, as he's picked a lot of guys whom I've liked............).

 

[FlyTimmo]

With the 178th overall selection, the Anaheim Ducks select:

Simon Johansson


1(23) Anaheim Ducks - Isac Lundeström, C | Luleå HF, SHL
2(54) Anaheim Ducks - Nicolas Beaudin, D | Drummondville Voltigeurs, QMJHL
3(79) Anaheim Ducks - Kirill Marchenko, LW | Mamonty Yugry, MHL
3(85) Anaheim Ducks - Johnny Gruden LW/C | U.S. National U18 Team , USDP
4(116) Anaheim Ducks - Krystof Hrabik, RW/C | Liberec U20, CzechU20
5 (147) Anaheim Ducks - Linus Nyman, LW/RW | Kingston Frontenacs, OHL
6(178) Anaheim Ducks - Simon Johansson, D | Djurgårdens IF J20, SuperElit

And that concludes my draft.

@Ghosts Beer You are up.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

With the 179th selection in the 2018 Faux Draft, the Minnesota North Stars select Brendan Budy, LW, Langley (BCHL).

@BernieParent is up with Vegas.

 

[BernieParent]

Once again, as the Las Vegas name is announced over the intercom, coach Gallant rises with the eagerness of a condemned man heading for the gallows. He straightens his 1970s thrift-shop tie as he approaches the microphone: "Thank you. The Las Vegas Golden Knights select, as the 180th pick ..."

"STOP!!!"

All eyes turn to the back of the arena, to see GM McPhee charging down the aisle, mostly wearing some sort of hybrid Stormtrooper / bathing suit ensemble, wobbling slightly to the left in his uneven gait.

After crashing over the Washington contingent's table, he picks himself up with effort.

"Oh crap," Gallant intones hollowly at the mic. "George woke up."

"Did you all honestly think you could get rid of me, ME, that easily?" McPhee roars into the microphone. "Nobody and no chemical concoction is going to deprive me of MY PRECIOUS TIME amidst you all. You WILL look at me with respect and with AWE after my MASTERFUL building of the Knights. You WILL wait upon my every word as I share my hockey wisdom. You WILL --"

BANG!

McPhee goes down in a heap after taking the full brunt of the chair that Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly swung at him.

"Go ahead, Gerard. Please."

"Yeah, thanks. I would have done it myself but I like being employed. With the 180th selection in the 2018 NHL draft, the Las Vegas Golden Knights are pleased to select, from the Kootenay Ice of the Western Hockey League, defenseman Martin Bodak."

 

[BernieParent]

@Chinatown88, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

 

[Chinatown88]

Jim Gregory: The Lickers your next selection please.

Don Sweeney: Oh for f***'s sake. Can someone tell Gary that he's out of control?

Cam Neely: Relax Don, I got this again. Let me take over for the rest of the draft. We're almost done anyway. *Cam Neely leans forward and approaches the microphone*

Inside Jim Gregory's head: So we meet again Cam. Let's destroy your iconic and proud image of being a Bruising Bruin. You'll be known in Boston as a loser Licker!

Jim Gregory: *Coughs* Mr. Niley the Lickers' next selection please.

Cam Neely: Niley? Niley? It's Cam Neely sir! N-E-E-L-Y of the historic Boston Lick erm Bruins franchise. Anyways. The Bruins are proud to select from the Langley Rivermen of the BCHL, Angus Crookshank.

Jim Gregory: The Lickers select Angus Crookshank of Langley from the BCHL. Winnipeg is now on the clock.

Insider Jim Gregory's head: One more round Cammy boy. One more round and you will be the Bruins most embarrassing idol and the proud icon of the Lickers franchise mwahaha!

Will PM next GM and tag as well.
@Ernest95 you're up!
