HF GM Games Fantasy Mock Draft #3 - Discussion VI - PandaCan'tSnipeWellEnough (Voting is LIVE)

[OB5]

It’s a close one for me between this team and my second team but I think this team takes it. Should be a good first round matchup. Vancouver has a solid team with name value but I think my team holds up well and can take it in a seven game series

When's voting going to start?

When's voting going to start?

Look up a few posts

 

[OB5]

Habs still have two trades and are open to talks

 

[hockeynorth]

So do more people prefer these forward lines:

Brady Tkachuk - Ryan Strome - Andrei Svechnikov
Kevin Fiala - Brian Little - Kailer Yamamoto
Dominik Kubalik - Erik Haula - Filip Zadina
Yakov Trenin - Johan Larsson - Ryan Hartman

or the original:

Andrei Svechnikov - Ryan Strome - Kevin Fiala
Brady Tkachuk - Brian Little - Kailer Yamamoto
Dominik Kubalik - Erik Haula - Filip Zadina
Yakov Trenin - Johan Larsson - Ryan Hartman

Honestly both work

I love this team man. Your 1st line, 3rd line and 4th line are all just so nice to me. Top and 2nd pair too, and goalies. Just seems so nice to me.

@Joey Moss how many more GMs for the new game?

1 more

 

[hockeynorth]

1 more

Let’s go, someone hop in there

 

[BumDum]

1 more

Awesome!

 

[Makaveli]

I like the idea of not revealing your restriction until someone figures it out for the next game.

 

[hockeynorth]

Can we get @bertty

 

[Makaveli]

Proposed
Fabbri - Kadri - Kucherov
Hall - Carter - Rakell
Lowry - Anisimov - Comeau
Lucic - Chytil - Roslovic

Existing
Taylor Hall - Nazem Kadri - Nikita Kucherov
Robby Fabbri - Jeff Carter - Rickard Rakell
Filip Chytil - Artem Anisimov - Jack Roslovic
Milan Lucic - Adam Lowry - Blake Comeau

@Makaveli
As you have it right now, you have two puck carrying line drivers on your first line and none on your second (although Fabbri tries), a soft minutes offensive third line with a weird centre for it, and a shutdown fourth line where Lucic will completely undermine it.

My lines separate your line drivers, give you a shutdown third line, and have a soft minutes fourth line where Lucic isn't exposed.

Yeah I wasn’t set on my lines just yet. I took your advice and changed them up.

Boone Jenner - Evgeni Malkin - Timo Meier

Ben Bishop

I'm pretty happy overall with this team, especially the defense. Unsure of Kirby Dach in that 3rd line center role though. Was hoping to build a young, offensive-type 4th line with him at center but it didn't work out. I'm open to suggestions, and have one trade left if anyone is interested in any of my players.

 

[Joey Moss]

LT gave me the go ahead to start the next draft when voting begins. My ideal timeline for the next one would be:

Tonight/Monday: Draft order revealed + start first mini draft for draft order
Tuesday: Finish both mini drafts for order and matchups
Wednesday: Teams can begin drafting with no clock. Time starts at 7:00 PM ET

Monday-Tuesday discussion on rules

Again, we only need 1 more GM. I am tempted to take a 2nd team again but will leave it until tonight to see if anyone joins.

This is one of my favorite teams. The only thing I don't like is some of the wingers, but they're fine with the players that are around them on each line. I am still surprised that 6 other goalies went before Bishop.

If @Lucbourdon could do the draft order reveal tonight that'd be awesome.

Hey Joey when do we pick our teams (can I have Toronto again)?

It'd be great if the order could be revealed tonight. I think if I get the choice I'm not choosing 1st OA.

Teams are going to be chosen with draft position.
