HF GM Games Fantasy Mock Draft #3 - Discussion

[Canucks LB]

I woke up to see the draft order, nothing posted yet, time to cry myself back to sleep

 

[Canucks LB]

Just to let everybody know, if you would like to get a hold of me through trades, you can leave me a message anytime on HF boards.

I’m stupidly active so I’ll probably respond within 30 minutes every time

So do we see it like the NHL where certain divisions are built kind of similarly cause teams are tying to match up with this bracket format?

 

[hockeynorth]

@LatvianTwist will you need a hand keeping track of trades?

 

[McDrai]

Watch me get 20-32 overall like I always do

 

[Llamamoto]

Watch me get 20-32 overall like I always do

We can switch if I get a high pick.

I either want to be very early or very late I think, ideally very early.

Though that super draft I was in the very middle and it was by far my best draft

 

[McDrai]

Deal. I just want to know what it feels like to draft high lol

 

[hockeynorth]

TBH if I'm high but in a position to draft Drai but not McD, Crosby, Mac, you can have my pick, I don't like Drai

I think the middle is advantageous because you can see where the trend is going for each round

You don't want Mr. Art Ross? Well I'll gladly take him lol

It was more being able to plan, I knew which holes to plan for and could usually get guys who slipped

 

[Makaveli]

Patiently waiting for the draft order......

 

[hockeynorth]

Fair enough, I'd probably have him 4th but I'm not really a fan

Actually I should clear this up, I'm not a fan of having him on his own.

and bracket (please don't give me Joey)

 

[Makaveli]

Why is that exactly? Just curious, he has been an absolute beast.

 

[McDrai]

and bracket (please don't give me Joey)

Lol would be funny if we could trade brackets. If i got Joey I would trade my team with Panda to watch an epic showdown

It's not that I don't think he's good its more a stylistic thing, same way I wouldn't draft John Carlson even if he was BPA, unless I know for sure he can be well insulated with players who compliment him.

It's actually part of the reason I think teams drafting Matthews have had a bit of difficulty too, you have to nail the pieces around him.

It's for players like Drai and Matthews I wanted to see the optimal slot, some guys are harder to build around then others (i.e. Crosby is probably the easiest)

I definitely like this!

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I have absolutely no preference where I draft.

To build around***

I think I'd struggle a lot

 

[Horse McHindu]

I have absolutely no preference where I draft.

I think this is the correct mindset to have.

I’m of the opinion that if you have a good strategy and a good pulse on which players are the most valuable and fit your team needs at the current time, then where you draft makes little to no difference.

 

[Gecklund]

I have absolutely no preference where I draft.

Same. I’ll draft the best team no matter where I draft.

You need to watch Drai more.
