Alright guys after suggesting this idea in the draft thread and getting some positive feedback on it I've decided to go through with it.


Pretty simple idea. Everyone posts an official mock draft of there own in this thread(First round only), and when the draft is over(Or while it's happening live) we'll tally up the number of correct picks everyone has and determine who had the most accurate mock draft this year. For bragging rights obviously.




Rules are pretty simple:

- 1st round of the draft only.
- Mocks will be accepted up until 6:30(est) on the day of the draft(So June 22nd).
- If you want to get really ambitious and predict trades feel free to do so, but no bonus points awarded for correctly predicting a trade
- Mocks are going to be scored in two separate ways. One will be a straight shot where every correct pick is worth a singly point.
- The other way of scoring will reward correctly predicting draft picks the deeper in the first round it gets(Since these picks become much more wide open then the top of the draft). Scoring will be as follows:
- Picks 1-10 correct = 1 point each.
- Picks 11-20 correct = 3 points
- Picks 21-31 correct = 5 points




For those who want to participate but aren't particularly well rehearsed in this draft, here's a few different lists and rankings that you can look through to help creating your own mock.

Good luck, and may the best mock win!

I'll be submitting mine later on today as well. Starting a new job on Monday so doubt I'll get much of a chance next week to do anymore tweaking on it unless something massive trade wise goes down.

If they pick Kotkaniemi over Zadina I'll officially stop wasting my time watching Habs games until Bergevin is sacked.

Just under 2 hours left to submit or change an entry. Thanks to everyone for making mocks by the way! Will be fun to look back on them tonight or tomorrow and see how everyone did once the 1st round shakes out.

*** Risto and Flow were both able to correctly predict K'Andre Miller to go #22 in the draft, but due to the trade down from Ottawa, it wasn't the Senators who made the selection



Looks like the very first mock submitted from @Tweaky proves to be the winner getting a total of 5 picks and 12 points correct. Followed close behind by Flow at 10 Points. Once again thanks to everyone who submitted a mock. A lot of really good mocks were done despite not getting credit for points. A lot of picks that were + or - just a pick or two from being correct.

I have Hughes to Vancouver correct! :laugh: And by the looks of it, Moby Stick has Miller at #22 as well. What should we have done, predict the trade down? :sarcasm:

Man, this was all over the place. :D

Oh, and the annual useless fantasy draft will be back in late July or in August, so get ready for that guys!

I also picked Kravtsov correctly but anyways, I'm a little bummed out that I had K'andre Miller going to the right team, but at 26 instead of 22 cause of that pick swap.
