Let's do a FI Mock draft

[MindzEye]

Well ****, if we're picking our own, gimme Colorado for degree of difficulty purposes.

 

[MindzEye]

Give me the Coyotes.

Interesting...I thought about them because of the challenge in picking the best of the next tier. Preferred the challenge of taking the best player outside of the Barzal/Werenski/Provorov group.

I'm not going to say who publicly, because that would detract from the fun of the exercise, but there's one really obvious player for Colorado that will probably end up being available when you pick.

So I don't personally view it as a difficult selection.

I'm going to try and base it on who I think the Coyotes will pick, not on who I'd pick if I was Don Maloney.

 

[Metalleaf]

I'm interested to see what Edmonton does with Pittsburgh's pick, which is why I went for them.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

I can take someone. Don't care who.

How about Dallas? They have a pick in both rounds.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

I'll take the Canes or Sharks

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Sharks taken already, you've got the Canes!

 

[UWHabs]

Sure. #12 looks like a good spot after the top guys are gone.

Then PM me the pick and we'll see if you're right. I think there's still a lot of potential movement with some key names in the 6-9 range so it's really hard to know who is going to be around at 10. There's some good names in the 10-14 range that wouldn't be a bad pick at 10, but I think you're kidding yourself if you think there's an obvious pick at 10 currently.

 

[Matrim]

I'll take Columbus if no one else has taken them.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

I'll take Columbus if no one else has taken them.

You got it.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

No Sens fans want to take Ottawa?

 

[BG]

Should we just randomly assign a 2nd team to everyone and get going?

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Yeah doing it now. I'll post the order in a bit

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Ok here is the order. I tried to spread out the first round as much as possible. 2nd round was harder as a result but I think it came out ok.
