HF GM Games Fantasy Mock Draft #3 - Discussion IV

[NeoCanuck]

@hockeynorth is up!

 

[Blinny]

@hockeynorth is up!

I pm-ed him

 

[Kent Nilsson]

You're seriously going to defend him after all the shit he's pulled this entire game?

He's harassed multiple GMs multiple times. He's looked for and pushed for loopholes in the rules from the second he signed up. He's blindsided at least two GMs in trades using bullshit tactics that he's fully aware of. He's been incredibly cocky and just annoying to read the entire time.

And yet I'm suddenly the villain because of one trade?

Is it really my fault that the first shred of enjoyment I've gotten from the game was that trade?

-----

It's easy to be a passive onlooker from the sidelines and enjoy the drama. But I can't do that. I have to deal with it since I'm running this draft. And it's gotten far too annoying and unfun to deal with.

If you think I'm really that much of a problem, then we can just end this game right now and start a new one. I'm happy to keep running it for the people actually enjoying it, but if all that's going to happen is shit flinging at me, I'm not going to deal with it.

I think we all agree that Exq is a massive idiot but wtf was that trade bro

 

[hockeynorth]

Im sorryyyy I said I was going running, gimme five idk any of these guys at the top of my Corsica list

 

[hockeynorth]

I picture you sometimes as a wolf who just shuffles a deck of cards a lot in his spare time - like shuffling tons and tons of picks around.

Maybe... it is enjoyable

 

[McDrai]

I much prefer it with trading

I prefer just drafting. Less bullshit to deal with usually.

I really like Perron and I don't like Hall at all. I view that as a wash in all honesty. Clearly that isn't a consensus opinion.

I'm also a big Kuznetsov fan and centers clearly have a lot of value. The difference between Hedman and Edler and Kuznetsov and my next pick I think roughly evens out.

In picks alone it would be:

17, 48, 401 for 35, 158, 163

It's not nearly as bad as people are making it out to be. There have been worse trades this game.

 

[hockeynorth]

So theres this really fun guy I want, and a list of guys that'd be smart, and idk what to do now.

 

[Canucks LB]

Can somebody just quickly let me know when I am up, I am on my phone and don’t have a lot of time

 

[m0pe]

Surprised an ELC winger who was productive in his NHL stint lasted this long.

Zadina is a great pick @hockeynorth

Thanks man! Thats why I took him tbh, I was thinking no way he slips to my next pick so I have to snag him now. Wanted him really badly.

Svechnikov-R. Strome-Fiala
B. Tkachuk-Little-Yamamoto
Kubalik-Haula-Zadina


Told you I was all in on the roll 4 lines thing, I really might do it.

The cap hit was a huge factor too. <51 million so far baby.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Damnit, was hoping Zadina would fall just a bit more.

Guess I timed it right then! Which other wingers do you guys want, I'll draft them next.

I have no clue how to feel about your team.

The centers obviously suck. But the amount of young offensive skill in the that top-9 winger group is insane.

An experiment, that's for sure.

The thing is they're ~50 point Cs this year, and 2nd line type Cs in an offensive roll. I really did try and build it with a Vegas type model. It's essentially 3 2nd lines.

Pretty sure you have Khudobin too

 

[hockeynorth]

EW wtf

 

[Panda Bear]

EW wtf

You mean the best 1B in the game?

 

[m0pe]

EW wtf

Given Francouz is your starter I think it makes sense.

 

[hockeynorth]

Yeah but he's a bruin, and not even Tuuka

I know Exq is annoying with his shit talking but that doesn’t ruin the integrity of the draft like collusion does or owning two team does. So yea I think it’s a shit move in comparison, the only people defending it are the ones who are way to upset at a troll in a fantasy draft.


Him talking shit doesn’t waste my time, but someone colluding with a trade does make this draft a waste of time for the rest of us. It’s a slap in the face. It’s a selfish and petty move to make a questionable lopsided trade for “your own enjoyment” without consideration for the other people in this draft


That’s all I’m gonna say on it. I’m finishing this draft unless my team gets stripped too for speaking out against a mod. I’ll finish the draft out of respect for everyone else’s time but I’m definitely not doing it for anyone who’s cheating or attempted to cheat in a damn fantasy hockey draft.

I’ll limit myself to only posting in the draft thread if I still have the team

Sick team, doesnt really have any holes, Hintz is a great 3C, Karlsson and Kucherov carried me to semifinals last game.

Chiarot and Mayfield are better paired with puck movers tho.
