HF Habs: Official 2019 Mock Draft (Teams are assigned, starting on the 18th)

[The Great Weal]

 

[ahmedou]

Don't whine, I'm not participating so it's even worse

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Y'all wanted this to happen right ?

I see right through you @NotProkofievian

Los Angeles Kings are proud to select from the BC... WHL...

Big ass center

Dach

I actually thought you might take Kalieyev.

Dach .... after all that whining about him in the draft thread.

 

[MarkovtoSubban]

Detroit Red Wings are proud to select LW Vasili Podkolzin

New GM Steve Yzerman says: "He's a powerful winger with a great work ethic. He has a lot of skill and plays with a will to compete at everything he does. He fits in well with our prospect pool as a complement to our other strong, skilled net front players like Rasmussen and Zadina. The Red Wings have an organizational history of great Russian players and we can see him playing top line minutes with us in the near future. He's close to NHL ready but we're not going to rush him."

Next GM pmed

 

[MarkovtoSubban]

PMd @MarkovtoSubban

But he hasn't been online in three weeks.

Maybe we should swap him with a more active poster ?

My man @sandviper has almost no picks

Tough luck kid. I've got the best team in the mock and I'm keeping it.

 

[MarkovtoSubban]

I sent him a PM to let him know the starting date, but yeah I'll keep a close eye on him. If he no shows, we replace him right away.

Watch me closely as I make my three second round picks.

Dach .... after all that whining about him in the draft thread.

Well, Id be lying if I said hes not a good player no? But hes not without flaws.

To me, Dach isnt a next level prospect as some think, hes in a group of 5,6 maybe 7 other prospects that have strengths and weaknesses. Its so close that you can go by need IMO.

 

[yoteshot]

Ive been trolling you all this while.

No seriously, hes neck and neck with Newhook/Dorofeyev/Heinola and Id rather the C for LA.

Are we ok with saying out names like this when those guys haven't been drafted?

 

[Doublechin]

Buffalo Sabres are proud to select Dylan Cozens

 

[yoteshot]

Now that Byram is taken, I have to say, I debated long and hard between him and Turcotte. I do like Byram a lot and would probably be my pick for Montreal at this pick, but Chicago has used their first 2 picks on d-men the last 2 years (Jokiharju, Mitchell, Boqvist, Beaudin) and I see Turcotte as a perfect fit there.

 

[yoteshot]

Buffalo Sabres are proud to select Dylan Couzins

That's Cozens for you

 

[Doublechin]

That's Cozens for you

That damn DeMarcus had me confused!

 

[Andrei79]

In theory, Edmonton should select a bust.

Detroit Red Wings are proud to select LW Vasili Podkolzin

GM says: "He's a powerful winger with a great work ethic. He has a lot of skill and plays with a will to compete at everything he does. He fits in well with our prospect pool and we can see him playing top minutes for us as soon as he comes over."

An throwback pick in tribute to their Russian Goat's picks from their dynasty days.

 

[jiboy]

I dont think we should be talking yet about who we almost picked when the players are still on board..

 

[WeThreeKings]

Mock courtesy is to not mention players not selected.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

No tipping off who hasn't been picked. That's basically why you don't mention the names of the non-drafted.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

In theory, Edmonton should select a bust.

If we're doing this under role playing rules, absolutely !

 

[ahmedou]

As like for the mockboyz, the magicians doesn't revealing their tricks...

 

[L4br3cqu3]

Sorry for the delay guys, I'm at my job, Edmonton selects Trevor Zegras.

Could you PM the next GM, thanks.

 

[Andrei79]

The Anaheim Ducks are thrilled to select, from the USNDP, winger Matthew Boldy.

"Boldy is a player who we feel is one of the very best in the draft and the best left winger available. The first thing you'll notice about him is how good he is already. The second thing you'll notice is how much room he still has left to grow. We don't often get to draft a player who brings a full package of skills in a 6'3" body who already plays a pro game, but that's what Boldy is. He's smooth. He's a high end passer. He thinks the game at a high level. He can score in every way you can think of and once in a while, he'll score a highlight reel goal. He'll be a great fit on our club."

Don't screw up Zegras Edmonton. It's ample the number of busts at your list drafts history.

I'll try, I'll try hahaha

An throwback pick in tribute to their Russian Goat's picks from their dynasty days.

Edited my GM speech to reflect that. Yzerman's first draft with the Wings is going to be epic and starting with a Russian powerhouse is a great way to start it!

But then I also took Nichushkin 5th overall for Calgary in 2013 so...there's always that.

Scouting report to follow, once I finish my on call shift.

Anaheim needs to get more size in their roster, right?
