First Annual Kings Draft Contest.

Guess the Kings first 2 selections. Since it is a possibility that the Kings trade either or both the #13 overall in the First Rd and the #43 overall in the 2nd rd,
the contest will cover that possibility, yet you still make selections for the
first 2 players the Kings select. It is a good chance the Kings do in fact select
#13 and #43 without moving the picks.

So, there will be 4 things to guess.

1. Pick #13 overall. Trade? (up or down, or for a player; does not matter) Just answer Yes/ No. That's all. Do not say up or down, or for a player. Just YES or NO. One point for correct answer.

2. First Kings selection. You get 2 guesses. Your 2 choices are weighted. In other words, for example: Barzal , Konecny. Your first listed player is 5 pts and the second selection is 3 pts. If the Kings select Barzal, you get 5 pts. Konecny, you get 3 pts. They select Timo Meier, no pts for you.

3. Pick #43 overall Trade? you only choose (YES / NO) 1 pt for correct answer

4. Guess the Kings second draft selection. 2 guesses. Does not matter if the Kings traded up or back for this selection. 2 guesses, in order of preference. 5 pts if it is your first choice, 3 pts of it's your second choice.

If the Kings traded up or back significantly on either pick, it will unfortunately skew your pick, but oh well. Its a good bet that they keep both 13 and 43 and will help your selections.

Selections must be made 1 hour prior to the start of the draft.

Here is Bob McKenzie's final top 75 for a good reference.

1 yes
2 zacha crouse
3 no
4 trenin carlo
 
1 yes
2 zacha crouse
3 no
4 trenin carlo

I highly doubt at all that either of those players are available at 13. Devils pick Zacha imo and Crouse does not fall past 10.

Edit: Upon looking again, I notice you have the Kings trading their pick, so I'm guessing you're basing off them moving into the top 10 in the draft given your picks, my apologies :)
 
#1 No I think (If it means keep the pick)
#2 Konecny/Meier
#3 Keep the pick
#4 Yan/Carlsson

1. No
2. Svechnikov, Konecny
3.Yes
4. Boeser, Bracco

This is a weird thing to do trying to think what DL and Futa are going to do.

My hope is...

13th OA- Zacha/Svechnikov
43rd OA- Dergachyov/Bracco

1. Yes
2. Joel Eriksson Kyle Connor
3. Yes
4. Paul Bittner, Jacob Larsson

Extra credit (Kings trade #13 and #43 to Winnipeg for Picks #17 and #25). I think they will take more Swedish players because they are happy with how Kempe has developed. :popcorn:
 
Based on the idea that the Kings scouting department believes Zacha could play 3C next season:

1. Yes
2. Zacha, Konecny
3. No
4. Carlo, Carlsson
 
Yes
Hanafin/Zacha
no
Ahl/Meloche

I don't think we will move up in the draft but it *could* happen. If we did I could see us landing in at 3/4 and if we did that and Hanifin is available then we would take him. Do I want that to happen? Nope, but it could. If not Hanafin then I would have to guess that we would be making a deal that would land us outside the top 13 where we could end up with Svech or he is who I could see us targeting. I don't see us moving our 2nd rd pick (could happen but I don't think so) but I think that if we could land Ahl or Meloche with it that we would have done very very well. There are several other kids that I like or think that we will actually end up with but for the sake of the game those are my guesses.

Who I could see us end up with ? Barzal.
