Fantasy Sports: Flyers Board Mock Draft 2017

[Rebels57]

They have a 4th (Panthers) and 6th (Canucks) too. But we're likely only doing 4 rounds, so for this mock they only have 2 picks..

Interested in another team?

My mistake! I read capfriendly wrong and thought they traded their 4th and 6th to Florida and Vancouver!



Which teams are still without a GM?

 

[Chuck Downie]

I will take a team.

I'd prefer the Rangos as they have the prospect base I'm most familiar with [of the unclaimed teams]. Could also do Washington or Edmonton (barf).

Rangers are yours.

Washington is the last team that no one has taken as a second team - I'll let you two decide.

That leaves -

Anaheim (Azir)
Boston (Morinisbear)
Chicago (Chuck Downie)
Edmonton (DrinkFightFlyers)
Minnesota (sobrien)
Washington (?)

Ill take the Caps as a 2nd team unless someone else claims them prior to the start of the Draft.

Perfect.

I'll update the first page with second teams this afternoon. I'll be sending a PM to the Avalanche GM (morinisbear) to get this started whenever he's ready between now and tomorrow. Don't forget to PM the next in line to keep this moving.

These teams are still available if anyone else wants to join:

Anaheim (Azir)
Boston (Morinisbear)
Chicago (Chuck Downie)
Edmonton (DrinkFightFlyers)
Minnesota (sobrien)
Washington (RebelBully)

 

[SanBlom]

Hischier is my guy whenever we are ready to go.

I think you can go ahead and make your official announcement - the other teams available pick later, so Avalanche are now up.

We'll have leeway for picks so don't worry if you can't pick in the 12 hour window.

Cool, shot a PM over to Daynus. Should I be professional and give the whole:

"With the first pick of the 2017 draft the Avalanche are proud to select Nico Hischier of the Halifax Mooseheads. We are ecstatic with this selection and feel he will be an excellent fit in our organization."

Are we going to wait a week to find out the actual draft positions for the 1st round?

Yeah man, have some fun with it if you have the time

Thats a good point. We COULD wait until after the Lottery. Im good either way.

Honestly I think this makes the most sense...I mean we are going to win the lottery so...

 

[SanBlom]

If we're changing up the rules, lets add trades so i can trade with myself again.

We should stick to the rule of no trades (That was funny last year). If there`s enough support to wait until next weekend, then I don`t see why not.

On the other hand, getting it started now has it`s benefits and maybe the lottery isn`t going to shake things up that much.

 

[SanBlom]

Either way is fine with me. I got my Nico and I'm excited for Bostons pick.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I vote to wait for the actual draft order. It's just one more week.

 

[Patrick Division]

I say we should wait. It's going to be a looong off season anyway.

 

[Rebels57]

Yeah I vote for wait as well. Will be cool to go back and compare our results to the official draft.

 

[FlyTimmo]

I am indifferent.

 

[daynus]

Ok I'll be back, wanna get guys name right

 

[daynus]

2) Rd 1.....
Vancouver proudly selects, Gabriel Vilardi, 6-3,201, Center/Winger, Windsor Spitfires.
We are gonna build, a strong, forward unit. Centres are the core of our rebuild. We just felt, he is 11 months younger than Nolan Patrick, and love his upside. Vegas is up, take the guy, everyone thought I was taking.

We're two picks in and only 3 votes to wait. I think we'll need a little more support than that. Again, I'm indifferent (besides the fact it's a little more work for me) but we'd have to start again from 1 and the plan was to start now. Any more support to wait?

Eh whatever...I don't see why we're in such a rush. We have ton's of time but whatever you decide.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I say go now. The lottery is only going to effect a max of six picks, right? Just wing it. Or...do our own lottery? Someone just run the lotto sim

It's not really about being in a rush, more so that it was planned to go today. These things can be real pain in the *** when changes are made esp at the last minute. I'm just aiming for less auto picks and keeping to the schedule will help.

There are two picks in and I'm not sure those posters would want that to change with a lotto.



But, this is supposed to be fun for all so if we can get more opinions to make changes, I don't mind doing the work to see that happen.

Otherwise Vegas is on the clock.
