NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - FRESH DOWN THERE PHASE NINETEEN!

[Beef Invictus]

Right. Big swings.

When you watch Futurehead David Goyette skate, you can see the speed skating training and the influence of an Olympic sprinter as a track coach. But it's skill at speed and in close quarters that separate the smaller, faster playmaker archetypes that make it from those who don't.

Rather than a breakdown of his transition play or explaining how well his scoring projects at his age, I will choose to provide all of you kind folks with this one play.



It got me at first. I thought it was a normal rebound. That's a pass.

@Asnito I'd make a pass at you any day.

This is exactly my kind of prospect. So glad the Flyers didn't participate in that round.

But not because of his trial by combat! Because of the drugged blade he was stabbed with beforehand. It was a pre-existing condition. He won.

Your organization is going to be in entirely too many trials to have a guy that has a one trial by combat lifespan.

Have you ever seen Gladiator

Yeah, he’s a good pre-trial combatant but when the lights were the brightest he faded.

You should have taken [Redacted], he lasted longer.

I think you need to rewatch Gladiator and brush up on the very concept of Roman games

I do watch the movie fairly often, i'm just busting balls.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

While i'm here... wasn't "The Spaniard" the one that won all of the Roman games? It wasn't until Maximus revealed who he was that he lost immediately. You pretty much chose [Redacted] instead of [Redacted].

Weak, pre-existing conditions mean nothing to us.

 

[Asnito]

Don't have a write up ready for the real categories so we're just going to pick another stiff who has no chance of ever playing in the NHL, Klavs Veinbergs.

@Young Sandwich stop cooking that roadkill and make a pick.

 

[Young Sandwich]

The Sexpos are selecting this fella even though he is wanted for the murder of a young Russian goaltender.





Futurehead - Alexander Perevalov

You go now @mja

You really need to rewatch Gladiator

Hey, I was just sayin.

The NJFZ will go with F Owen Beck:



This is our second straight pick named Owen. Maybe all of the rest of our picks should also be named Owen.

No pick-tipping, sir! [OWEN] could easily be on someone's vast list for Creeper, Spokesperson, Anthem Singer, or Trial-by-Combat Champion!

On further review, NHL DoPS reverses the call on the arena floor. Use of the poisoned blade is considered a good hockey play. Match awarded to Emperor Commodus!

Your organization is going to be in entirely too many trials to have a guy that has a one trial by combat lifespan.

@Beef Invictus dresses as Maximus when he goes house hunting.

My dog is named Quintus Fabius Maximus

@Lord Defect my wife just asked if I can draft myself as creeper

The Seattle Sockeyes are thrilled to select small boi Jordan Dumais as our next futurehead.

Maybe he'll play on a line with Johnny Hockey in Columbus one day, where the average height will be under 5'9.

@pit, that's a good hair day picture right there.

I am not looking forward to this round of hockey picks. I paid zero attention to the draft this year, and it's going to cost me. I might just draft based on names.

That’s the thing with the Quackverse. Everything there may be determined by names rather then hockey talent.

I definitely only picked Tyson Dyck because of his unquestioned hockey talent.

Connor McDavid: In GM Doug's absence, I'm really learning this job. Like, one of the most important part of the jobs is thinking. And the most important part about thinking is LOOKING like you're thinking. Real hard. And real deep. You might not know this, but not all GMs do that. But if I'm standing in for a GM, I'm going to be good at this. And not only am I going to look smart, my cat will too.

(Check out my etsy store)

And a thinking GM picks a thinking player with the skills to match, which is why I, after much deep thought, draft Paul Ludwinski for the Chimpanzees.

@Striiker , what do you think?

Just picked up a couple of tickets to the Guided By Voices & Dinosaur Jr. show at the Fillmore in December, so I guess now's as good a time as any to announce the Team Anthem that J, Lou, and Murph will be performing at Flaming Zeppelins games.

J is somewhat famously up to covering any and everything while making it sound distinctly like Dinosaur Jr., so we can't wait to see what he does with the official NJ Anthem:



Delayed primary assist on this selection credited to @Starat327.

Keep calm and carry on with the regular order.
