NHL 1 Per Team Draft - Discussion

[Dr.Brad]

I don’t get it. 12-player universe? “Winner?” Do you have a quarantined rink you’re offering? And with TRAINING CAMPS not starting ‘til August 1, why would there be any rush? I’d consider an active-player DEFENSEMAN draft - 6 defensemen, 3 pairs - and that could be voted on.

Its not hockey... its bull-riding.

They are still hosting bull riding events... and they are having a team competition this summer.

There are 12 teams of 4 riders on each team - hence the 12 player universe.

They will have head to head matchups for the next 4 weekends and then a championship playoffs in early July.

LOL.

That was tough as a Flyers fan... to pick Scott Stevens right after Zorro picked Lindros.

That is not supposed to be how a Flyers fan rolls..

I must be getting better at this...or worse. Bcuz almost EVERY freakin’ time, ol’ Newf takes the player I thought could make it back to my pick. Yandle / Ironman this round.

I feel that way after most picks, LOL. Although there have been a couple players chosen that weren't on my top 6 list.

I changed my Beezer pick right after I picked. I picked him as Florida then figured I better check how many years he played for Florida. And it wasn’t many. So I switched it up.

That's because I have a copy of your draft list. Saves me from doing research.

Actually, I was looking for a dman, and then started looking at the Panthers. No player (forward or dman) on Florida has ever reached 450 points with the team. So it made the decision to choose Yandle a lot easier.

[newfcollins]

So does Burns count as a forward or defenseman if he was drafted in Minnesota?

[Dr.Brad]

PH - I considered taking Bobby Clarke from you, for about 0.04 nanoseconds... couldn’t do it. But on the other hand, I WAS at both Flyers’ parades. (Oh - you don’t remember these??)

[Dr.Brad]

Mostly, I just don’t want our discussion thread to die and be buried on page 2. LOL. Interesting to me that as I wind through the middle of this draft - unlike most others, this might be getting easier. Newf and Zorro have already taken most of who I wanted... I’m down to Beau Bennett for NJD and Oleksiak for DAL or MIN. Strategy's out in the open.

[DusterDave]

I haven’t used any sort of strategy or plan for this draft. I don’t even have a list. When my turn comes around I just decide then. And I must admit, I’m pretty pleased with my team so far. The only players that I wanted but couldn’t get was the round where the Anaheim duo of Getzlaf and Kariya went.

[pmorrow]

I vaaaugely have a strategy, but it is a very difficult thing to strategize for. You might think you have lots of options for team X, but someone might take some of those players in a different uniform. It is a very fluid kind of strategy for me. I am just basiclally trying to balance talent with not waiting too long on some teams/players

I drafted him as a D, but would move him to F if that made more sense...

[DusterDave]

Happy to get Eddie the Eagle! Was very disappointed not to get him in the All-Time/History draft. Belfour was my favourite player growing up as a kid. I’d always throw on the pads and pretend to be Eddie in road hockey.
