[snoopdizzle]

The Minnesota Wild are proud to select.....

Joe Morrow D Portland from the Portland Winterhawks in the WHL

GM has been Pm'd

 

[The Instigator]

are thrilled with the drop and subsequent selection of Brandon Saad.

Has the skill and size to be a top 5 pick, needs to show some compete, but being drafted by a dynamic team like Washington should give him the kick in the ass to be a top 6 winger.

 

[The Instigator]

Eric Fehr, Jeff Schultz, Michal Neuvirth available.

 

[Pajicz]

With the 27th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, the Tampa Bay Lightning would like to select, from the Färjestads BK of the Swedish Elite League, defenseman Jonas Brodin.

Comments from GM Steve Yzerman: Our primary target in this year's draft was a good offensive defenseman, and with Jonas, we feel like we've been able to reach our target easily, as we really weren't waiting for him to be available with our pick. But to be honest, we still weren't sure about who'd we pick while Capitals were on the clock, because there were one really skilled winger and couple gifted goaltending prospects who we had thought of having.

Next GM PM'ed, as the San Jose Sharks are on the clock.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

I hate you. I've been trying to move up to select Brodin.

 

[Pajicz]

I hate you. I've been trying to move up to select Brodin.

Sorry Brian, had to pick him, easily BPA at the moment.

But, we can always negotiate about a trade?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Don't hate ya anymore::

TRADE ALERT!

To

Pick #57
Evgeny Grachev

To

Jonas Brodin

The Rangers are estatic to have picked up this Swedish born defender. This is a package they were going to use to move up and acquire him with, until TB picked him. TB loved Grachev's skill/size combo, and wanted a 2nd, so they traded the freshly picked defender to NY.

 

[Marty Straka]

Just to clarify how Columbus acquired Ottawa's 21st pick the trade went down as follows:



Nikita Filatov



Nashville's 1st.


So far in this years draft:

1st (6th overall) - Jonathan Huberdeau
Trade - Nikita Filatov for 21st overall
Next up: 35th Overall.

The Buffalo Sabres are proud to select Nathan Beaulieu of the Saint John Sea Dogs.
​

(Note: The following is )

How on earth could you have picked a defenseman for Buffalo?

Don't you know that the Sabres already have 100 sure-fire NHLers in their defense stable? They don't need any more, and it's written on tablets of stone by God Himself that the REAL Sabres absolutely WILL NOT draft a defenseman in the first round under ANY circumstances.

You couldn't possibly have any knowledge of the Sabres' system to have wasted this pick on a defenseman.

/

This is the kind of stuff that the guy who's hosting this mock is getting in another mock where he's drafting for the Sabres...

You'd think that he ran over someone's dog, then backed up and did it again.​

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

How do you know I didn't? I am more of a cat person.

 

[The Instigator]

BPA trumps needs in alot if scenarios IMO.

 

[MoreMogilny]

BPA trumps needs in alot if scenarios IMO.

Most certainly.

I just went to that other mock draft and had quite a good laugh. I understand that Buffalo needs forwards, but if you feel that Oleksiak is far and away the BPA at that point in the draft, you have to take him. He could end up being one of the very best players from the draft. If you are bursting at the seams with defensemen, then it allows you to deal from a position of strength later on.

In this mock I knew the Leafs are in need of restocking their defensive cupboard, and I had already picked a great forward in Scheifele, but all of the defensemen targets I had were taken by 29th, and it didn't make sense for me to make a reach when Biggs was still on the board (who I felt was the BPA at that point), so I took him and am happy with it.

 

[snoopdizzle]

Hahaha yeah Im in that mock too and its ridiculos how worked up that guy is getting about it!

 

[The Instigator]

Neuvirth, Fehr and Schultz can still be had! Possibly #1 goalie, top 6 forward, and a top 4 defenseman.

 

[RogueStatus]

select Right Wing, Tomas Jurco of the Saint John Sea Dogs.

Next GM PM'ed

 

[IslesRock4]

The New York Islanders select, from the Vancouver Giants of the WHL, David Musil.
