HN's U26 Fantasy Draft

[Blinny]

Larkin-McAvoy is a start I am excited about

I was hoping Barzal and Heisk fell to me but no. Missed bother by 1

 

[OB5]

Was a pipe dream to assume either of those D taken would last to my pick. Especially Dahlin.

 

[nbonaddio]

Best player available, that's how we do it!

Vegas fan reaction to the selection:

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Is it me or theres borderline enough players to fill 16 teams. The last rounds are promising.

Theres definitely a low but doable amount, I have 300 forwards, 150 D and 40 goalies who got games last year that should qualify, give or take. Prospects will likely fill out the last spots so draft smart.

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Sure theres enough names but as far as legit interesting players ? Ugh. Will be fun

Lol yeah that's why I think it'll be a lot different, you have to nail picks.

Yeah it feels like if we had 12 teams instead, or had included 26 year olds or something, then you can make a competitive roster.

As is, there will definitely be some scrubs / non ready prospects playing in the depth roles lol

Every time we do one of the with half the amount of teams I always think it’s going to go quickly but I’m always wrong.

The intention was to not have super teams

Joey Anderson is my #180 forward who played last year, Erik Brannstrom my #90 D

but yeah some teams will suck lol

 

[hockeynorth]

Does anyone have @Llamamoto's list

 

[OB5]

@BeLeafing up in 20

 

[hockeynorth]

@BeLeafing up in 20

[hockeynorth]

Sorry guys, hockey practice.

Jaccob Slavin

@BeLeafing

Maybe its a dumb question... but they have hockey in Qatar?

 

[hockeynorth]

Anyone want to trade back slightly

 

[hockeynorth]

Select LD Shea Theodore



@Paralyzer008

Anyone want to trade back slightly

damn it nvm

 

[hockeynorth]

@Llamamoto Slavin is ineligible to be picked please change your pick

As said before if this happens draft does carry on

Eligible players are born September 16th 1994 or sooner, just like it'd be for a draft year

Poor Teravainen

This is him wishing he could join the Las Vegas Best Players Available

 

[Llamamoto]

They have one active rink haha. There's a decent kids program and a men's league that runs every year.

Also, Theodore was my backup after Slavin... That's really annoying lol.

When you say "Or sooner" you mean after this date correct?

 

[hockeynorth]

Yes

 

[m0pe]

I am debating whether to do something potentially quite stupid with this pick.

All the players I really wanted here just went.
