NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - PHASE FOUR! Part Three!

[mja]

I predict needing to make a lineup of only LWs

I keep looking at that spreadsheet and doing the math, and it's not encouraging. We're going to get boned. I think an extra current player from the first phase also needs to be made available in order for us to have a sporting chance. We can still only pick one of them, but the quality of the possible selections would jump to something reasonable.

Help us, @Hollywood Couturier, you're our only hope.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

In other words, one player from each color in the spreadsheet right?

In most cases, yep. Some people rearranged them. To pick a completely random and definitely not actually about me example, if you've drafted almost nothing but Centers and RHD you might have done some shuffling.

Yeah, like I said, one for each round. Proper nomenclature be damned

1. First, and most importantly, it is a privilege to join this awesome draft, so until actual money changes hands, participation is its own reward.
2. Almost as importantly, neither HC nor myself are Gary Bettman to be bent over for a check, especially an imaginary one. We are not going to let original franchises get reamed in the interest of expansion after all the extremely hard work we did the first time around. Bettman is soft. We are fascist.
3. Again, we have no idea whether or not it is preferable to actually be good at hockey in the new dimension.
4. If you change your perspective from whiny to adventurous, it is actually very fun trying to find hidden gems that no one else has taken yet.

Each f***ing round, you imbecile, would mean five or six players per phase. Stop trying to parse every f***ing word I said and use that pecan-sized bit of fecal matter in your skull for something.

So what you’re saying is...?

 

[BiggE]

Oh boy, we get to pick a stupid hockey player soon!

No definitely not about you absolutely

I think he like-likes you

"The Tampa Bay FireSticks are displeased to announce the players to be left unprotected in the expansion draft:

• 1st line: Morgan Rielly (LD)
• Legend line: Henry "Bud" Maracle (LW)
  
• 2nd line: Jamie Benn (LW)

"We stress that our selection of all 3 players from the left side has NO political implications. So please stop doxxing our offices!"

 

[BiggE]

Honestly you can take whichever of our players you want because hockey is stupid and there are lots of stupid players waiting to take the place of the stupid players we lose.

 

[ajgoal]

Sorry man I am still confused about my role in the organizations of Pain and your organization + I only logged in today

You no longer work for the Pain. You now have a lucrative position in LA, where it is warm and you can get things like food.

That's extremely generous, but you are still going to make a list so I don't have to do it for you.

You’re an expansion team. I don’t care about you being competitive. I got your money.

#4 does not apply to me with Thatcher Venmo’s favorite player.

Exposed:

RW Tyler Toffoli
LW Michel Goulet

I'll pick the last one when I fill out the lineup for this round.

 

[BiggE]

That's extremely generous, but you are still going to make a list so I don't have to do it for you.

No worries, as soon as I finish filling out this line, I’ll post my exposed idiots.

 

[Lord Defect]

Can I select a legend player to expose if they are in a non playing position that is not my first legend pick?

 

[mja]

You’re an expansion team. I don’t care about you being competitive. I got your money.

No you don't, my wife blew the expansion fee on candles. I see how it is though. Just one more tragedy that the Flaming Zeppelins will have to endure and overcome.

I'll make his list for him. It'll save both of you the trouble.

 

[Lord Defect]

Is it my turn to pick yet?
Someone make a pick!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

No you don't, my wife blew the expansion fee on candles. I see how it is though. Just one more tragedy that the Flaming Zeppelins will have to endure and overcome.

Have you looked at those candles lately?

 

[ajgoal]

I want nothing to do with a "Pooh"-scented candle.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Yosh, it's the same for me. We hate hockey the most, so we aren't even finished yet.

No.
