How would a "fantasy draft" between 2 teams go if...

[Trap Jesus]

...the sole reason they were drafting was to beat the other team in a legitimate 7 game series (not a gimmicky all-star game), so things like match-ups and chemistry would matter. The player pool would include everyone, not just All-Stars, 12 F, 6 D, 2 G need to be selected for each team, and the draft format would simply be:

1. Team A
2. Team B
3. Team A
4. Team B

etc.

Team B, obviously.

 

[Paper]

The first general manager would go up, announce "Johnny Hockey" as the teams first pick, end up getting sued for trademark infringement, the team would have to file for bankruptcy and the series would never happen.

 

[Clamshells]

Whichever team drafts the most of them good ol ontaria boys

 

[Parliament]

Do they have to meet the NHL's current cap requirements, or is it just unlimited spending?

 

[BanditKeith99]

Team B is better on paper but team A has potential

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Team A.... no, Team B.... no, Team A.... no, Team B.... wait.

And the least amount of euro's. With the first pick, Don Cherry and "Team A" select Kevin Bieska.

 

[izzy]

it would go snake draft anyway

 

[StoneHands]

Team A would draft Toews. Team B and C would quit because they got robbed of Toews. Team D would draft Giordano because there's always that one guy that reaches in the first round. Team D would win the Cup.

And the least amount of euro's. With the first pick, Don Cherry and "Team A" select Kevin Bieska.

And for the second pick it would have to be Alex PeterAngelo. He and Bieska would make an excellent first pairing for Team A.

Team A. LOL. I don't Girardi gets selected on team A. I'd select Kronwall/Pietrangelo/Shattenkirk ahead of him?

 

[Kanye]

Team A. LOL.

Uh... Team B quite easily.

 

[Beaunett]

Uh... Team B quite easily.

Agree to disagree.

 

[JCLiponfanboy*]

Do you mean an Expansion draft?

 

[NEWFowler]

Uh... Team B quite easily.

Yeah.. Team B is much better.

I tried to put more defensive defenseman on the third pairings, just like I tried to put "grittier" players on the third and fourth lines. I also took existing pairings/lines where appropriate since chemistry was a noted factor.
