Abridged Joinable 2024 Mock Draft

[Strawberry Fields]

I'd love to give this one more go around before the draft, especially since I couldn't participate in MCDs last draft. If we can't fill it up, no biggie, but if you're interested, drop your teams below. (To speed things along, please feel free to select TWO teams to start.)

For the sake of time, given there's less than three weeks until the draft, I'm going to say no player trading or free agency this time around; however, feel free to trade picks if you like. I am hoping to make it five full rounds, so every team will be able to make at least two picks; if we don't make it the whole way, that's alright; if we clear the five rounds with enough time before the draft starts, we can keep going if everyone's on board.

Clock starts and ends at 8 AM and 12 PM EST each day. Four hour window for making picks, with autopick coming into play if you can't make it within that time. Please DM me if you know you won't be able to pick during your window.

If I forgot anything, feel free to inquire, but I don't like to mess with what works, so beyond the changes for time constraint, MCD's methods and rules will probably be applied where applicable.

My hope is to start this by Monday evening. If we can fill it up beforehand, we can start as soon as it's full.

Hi Strawberry Fields!

Just a play on words. If the 91st pick ends up going to AUTO, could we consider choosing Satan for the Devils pick if He's still available? Seems like a match made in, Heaven? Hehehe

How long are we planning on going with this draft? Feels like a lot of autos lately.

I was hoping we'd be able to go the whole way but the pace has ground to a halt the last couple days. As of now, I think we'll call it after five rounds as originally planned.

Haha nooooo


You literally got me on the exact 4 hours I was unavailable!

Legit free to post all day until 3, drove to my second job, worked til 7, and am free again

C'est la vie! Sorry for slowing things down, but legit funny the timing of it

4 hours is a short window, too, to be fair
Longer windows makes it drag on longer and you can lose momentum
But short windows, the autos can really rack up

 

[ZanTheMan]

Think of it as we are in the third period and we have two more overtime periods to go.

 

[ZanTheMan]

Carolina select Carson Wetsch from Calgary (WHL)

@apadilla

 

[Habsrule]

I think the main reason it has slowed down is because we are now down to the nitty gritty. All of the bigger name prospects are picked and we are at the point where we are more less throwing crap at the wall and hoping that it sticks.

Plus only the really true prospect junkies can give a good formal decision on what players are left.
