2025 7-Round Mock Draft 1.0 (Clock Starts Sun 1/19 at Noon ET)

[uncleben]

Trading away the 1st overall was a tricky decision, but the top end of this draft is looking real good and we knew we'd still get a good player at 5, plus the addition of Catton was too tempting.
I actually started typing out Victor Eklund as the promise of Catton at C pushing plays to Eklund at wing sounded good
But McQueen's size and skill and cool confidence - if we can improve his skating, I'm hoping for a Temu-Auston Matthews

@My Cozen Dylan anything we can do about the draft picks being so far away from the OP?

We were not in cahoots @My Cozen Dylan.

I could delete the in-between posts. But those users would, obviously, lose their content... (could merge them with a post later in the thread, perhaps?)

I can try that later tonight

No thanks to losing it.

EDIT: In fact I just did it. I didn't know I had powers outside of HFOil.

NYR actively shopping Zibanejad, Miller, Kreider & anyone on the roster not names Lafreniere & Fox.

Happy to announce the signing of D Alexander Nikishin to a one year ELC at a $925,000 AAV with full performance bonuses.

We're also happy to announce the extension of recently acquired RFA F Mason McTavish to a five year $5.8m AAV.

We're excited to be adding both of these young, elite talents to our competitive core!

Sorry guys, been away at a wedding all day.

Thanks @LT and @uncleben for fixing the first page. I meant to message one of you about it earlier.

EDIT: @Soli too.

Been a while since Chicago made a trade
Just saying

 

[5cotland]

What's the real life trade rules in this draft? I.e. If JT Miller is traded in real life, does it apply in the mock?

If it happens after we've started, I've always let the two GMs decide if they want to honor it or not.

I thought as much. I'm just asking incase Miller is traded to NYR so something I may have to consider

 

[uncleben]

Cole Smith and Vinnie Hinostroza anyone?
