Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Same as the NFL mock draft, but it's the NHL (thus autmoatically makes it better). Hopefully we can do at least three rounds of this. I'll pick the Habs. The draft order: 1.) Tampa Bay Lightning 2.) Los Angeles Kings 3.) Atlanta Thrashers 4.) St. Louis Blues 5.) New York Islanders 6.) Columbus Blue Jackets 7.) Toronto Maple Leafs 8.) Phoenix Coyotes 9.) Nashville Predators (Florida Panthers pick) 10.) Vancouver Canucks 11.) Chicago Blackhawks 12.) Anaheim Ducks (Edmonton Oilers pick) 13.) Buffalo Sabres 14.) Carolina Hurricanes 15.) Nashville Predators 16.) Boston Bruins 17.) Calgary Flames 18.) Ottawa Senators: CanadianChris 19.) Columbus Blue Jackets (Colorado Avalanche pick) 20.) New York Rangers 21.) New Jersey Devils 22.) Edmonton Oilers [i[(Anaheim Ducks pick)[/i] 23.) Washington Capitals 24.) Minnesota Wild 25.) Montreal Canadiens :RedBaron 26.) Buffalo Sabres (San Jose pick) 27.) Philadelphia Flyers 28.) Dallas Stars 29.) Pittsburgh Penguins 30.) Detroit Red Wings. Rules are simple. 24 Hour clock. You do not forfeit your pick if you go over 24 hours, however other teams will pick ahead of you. No trades. Since the NHL trade draft picks freely already, I don't want to turn this into a massive clusterfuck of who is trade who for a dollar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Sure, what the hell. Ottawa, of course. I'll lay odds we don't get 30 people to sign up for this, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFer 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 You'll probably be right. I follow the NHL well enough and have some hockey knowledge, but I don't know jack shit about draft prospects. I'd be surprised if 15 people signed up for this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianGuitarist 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Kudos on your enthusiasm, but I couldn't tell you more than three or four likely draftees this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 It's honestly a crapshoot in the top ten and I think past Vancouver's pick, there's a big drop-off, meaning that there could be any sort of trade or any kind of euro player taken there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 I'm assuming MFerXtreme is Detroit and Max is Boston? It is a very defence oriented draft this year, but there a lot of good talent here to blossom into NHL stars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 Count me out big boy. I barely have the attention span for work and my real life, let alone a fantasy all-time draft. I honestly don't have time to sit here and ponder who the Bruins are going to take at 16. Chiarelli, Bradley and Smith are the guys to talk to about that.
