Mock Draft, anyone?

[Trav]

Not sure how well it'd work on here but I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing an NHL mock draft for two rounds before the real NHL draft is done? If interested then just respond by saying which team you'd want.

So far instance, Id be the Canucks GM.

I'll try and post the draft order of the first round (and 2nd round if I can find it) in the morning or afternoon. Some teams dont have a first round pick due to trades for instance Edmonton and I believe Nashville doesnt either.

[WHEATMAN]

you can put me down for edmonton

[langdak]

you can put me down for San Jose if this all works out

[Triton]

I'll be the Avs GM.

[nivek_wahs]

I'll be the Flyers... If this works out... :laugh:

[original6]

I'll replace Brian Burke as the Ducks GM

[chilliwackchad]

I'll take part.Sign me up for the Jets..er,I mean Penguins GM position.

[rinkrat]

I'll be Columbus' Doug MacLean,and my first move is to trade Brule and our first round pick to the Canucks for Bertuzzi!LOL :clap:
Anyways,I'll do Columbus

[Hatguy]

I wanted to do the Jets! I guess I can do the coyotes.

[Trav]

Sorry guys for the delay in posting the draft order...I believe I have the first round correct, unsure of the 2nd round, I dunno if any picks have been traded by any of the teams so if any of u know if any trades that were in the 2nd round then please let me know....

Note - I have put ur names down beside the team u have chosen. If there are still teams available by Friday then feel free to pick a 2nd team.

Note to WHEATMAN96, I'm hoping we can do a 2nd round but I'm not sure if we will get to it, do u still wanna keep Edmonton since they dont have a first rounder?

[Nature Boy]

I will be the Flames GM but if anyone else wants it they can have it, but i will sign up for now.

Can't wait for the 2006 Rebels Season
:bounce:

[Triton]

We need more people.This would be interesting.

[GBG BLEED BLUE]

We need more people.This would be interesting.
Ok I'll join and I will take the job of the Toronto Maple Leafs GM.

[rinkrat]

This should be done live,or in an orderly fashion.Its not as if we can just submit our picks.We need to know who is still available?????????

[Trav]

I was thinking, we could give each GM 12 hours to make a pick, maybe less so it doesnt take to long. I'm hoping we can be done the draft by the end of next weekend. I know some of u guys that have signed up and others I've noticed are on here a lot which is good so hopefully it can go quick. When a GM makes a selection they have to post it on here although I'll make a new thread probably with the heading "Mock Draft Results" or something along that line. If any of u have any ideas, please feel free to suggest them

[Triton]

What happens with the picks of teams that aren't occupied by a poster?Who does those teams(example St.Louis 1st overall).Unless you divy up the remaining team to the posters who are participating where we could end up with 2 or 3 teams to monitor in the draft.

You know you'll be heavily critisized by the media,and could potentially be fired right away :laugh: .

Just seems as if thats how things are ran in Toronto.

Correction: #27 s/b STL (from Carolina)

[dondo]

I'll take Chicago (now if I could only get rid of my owner... )

[WHEATMAN]

On second thought, It might be better if I go for St.Louis, is that alright?

[Triton]

I may swing a deal your way to get that top pick..lol...pressure's on!

[Trav]

unless we were to not worry about traded picks although that might take a bit away from the mock draft lol.

The teams that are left open on Friday will just go the GM's that would want a 2nd team but please only pick ONE more team and if that still isnt enough then first come first serve for a third team. Might be hard to monitor but hopefully everyone will be fair to the other people :).

[Triton]

I'll take Washington as my 2nd team if they are still around come Friday.

[nivek_wahs]

2nd team for me would be the New York Rangers.

[dondo]

I'll take the Habs if there's no huge battle for them as my 2nd team

[rinkrat]

What is the object of this? Are we trying to predict the outcome,or just trying to take the best players? I guess there aren't really winners in this???

[Trav]

Just to have a little fun being a GM for a day :) and would be cool to see how the draft results will match up on the real Draft Day in the first two rounds.

[Trav]

should nobody new picks them. I was hoping u guys would wait until Friday but its not a big deal I guess haha and no I'm not saying that cuz one of u took the 2nd team I'd want, in fact, I'd be taking Ottawa anyways.

[dondo]

rinkrat queried without a shred of humour - ;)

I assume its like a sim would be .. taking the player of your choice when your turn comes up rinkrat - its supposed to be fun - or maybe the NHL scouts are watching and they'll use our picks to sway their decisions :p :laugh:

[rinkrat]

Whats the schedule for our draft?
Start time,deadline for picks,etc?

[Trav]

tomorrow nite if possible, hopefully all can be there, teams would then have say five hours to make a pick although that'll be tough if the draft goes in to the next work week and people are working. I just did a mock draft on the sportsnet website forum and it started last weekend and teams are still picking and its only a one round draft. I'm hoping the GM's here will be a lot quicker with their picks haha. The top half of the order should go fast if all GM's are around.

Would tomorrow nite work for everyone. Keep in mind if we all have two teams, considering that we likely will since there's been no new interest lately. I'd think it'd be go at a good pace.

Any alternatives?

[rinkrat]

Set a start time and then each GM gets 15 minits...

[Trav]

I would set a time but I dunno what everyone's schedule is like and I dont want to pick a time where the majority wont be around haha. We can start say on Saturday morning at 10 Central, 9 Pacfic but if the first pick team wants, they can pick tomorrow and the following teams can pick as well. It being Friday tomorrow I'm sure some of u guys will have plans.

What time would that be Saskatchewan time?I'm kinda dumb when it comes to time zones.

[nivek_wahs]

Saturday morning is no good for me... Noon would be a better start time for me (SK Time).

[Trav]

Nivek, without checking to see if u had said if u would want a 2nd team or not ur the Flyers GM rite so ud be picking 22nd spot. I'm guessing ur pick will be around noon which u said would be better so should be okay there and if we're ahead of schedule we can wait for ya.

[Trav]

Will that work for ya?

[Triton]

Will that work for ya?


10 or 12 o'clock sask time?Which one are we going by?

[nivek_wahs]

Fair enough... the 2nd team I mentioned is New York Rangers and they pick 21st... so it will work for me.

[Trav]

Central (that's 10 here in Saskatchewan and Alberta) 9 in BC and I'm guessing 11pm in Manitoba if there are Manitoba based GM's. Still dunno about the time limit, I'd say an hour, everyone ok with that?


10 or 12 o'clock sask time?Which one are we going by?

[WHEATMAN]

from the US Under-18 National team Erik Johnson

[chilliwackchad]

With Pittsburgh's pick,the Penguins are proud to select Phil Kessel.

[Triton]

What happens to Chicago's pick seeing as nobody occupy's it?I pick 4th so I would like to know what happens to the pick above me.

[rinkrat]

I'll take Chicago (now if I could only get rid of my owner... )
dondo took Chicago

[dondo]

yup and I made my pick in the draft order/results thread is that the way we are doing it?

n/m I see the other picks above

k here it is again

The Chicago Blackhawks are proud to select --------- drumroll

Jonathan Toews

[Trav]

Use the draft order-results thread to announce ur selection, thanks :)

[rinkrat]

Who is Boston's GM? I'm hoping to select tonight???

[rinkrat]

Can we make trades?

[nivek_wahs]

From the Results Thread...

Round 1

1. St Louis - ERIC JOHNSON
2. Pittsburgh - PHIL KESSELL

Following The Hockey News perfectly... :spineyes:

[Trav]

Hmm, if u really wanted to I guess haha but I wont be.

[nivek_wahs]

I think trading picks would be hard considering that all "GM's" aren't online now. I wont be trading my picks :D .
