Calgarypuck Mock draft - picks underway

[JiriHrdina]

We will have to move quickly to do this before Friday.
Need volunteers to participate for each team below. I've taken the liberty of filling in the first 3 picks as they are pretty sure things. #6 will be a forum vote based on who is picked 4 and 5.
No trades.
If you volunteer to take a team, then please make sure you are around to make your selection. I'll take #30.
Pick the team you want. First person that posts, gets the team. We will start the draft once we have pickers for each team.

The ask with Edmonton is that you make a quality pick - don't pass over the obvious choices so that someone falls to Calgary
I think #6 is more interesting if Tkachuk and Dubois are gone

I'm too old to internet troll my friend. I was going to make the best choice as I saw fit for them. That said, it's also a pick, as is Van, that can easily become tainted for your event. Why don't you auto pick the top 5, group pick 6, then have others own teams?

Give me Mtl instead maybe. Or whatever else. Doesnt matter.

[SuperMatt18]

I'll take the Avs at 10 if we need ppl.

[DJones]

I'll take Winnipeg

I think it's fine the way it is. People can even go off the board if they want (Edmonton is no stranger to this concept), but they would just have to back up their pick with something that makes sense.

I hope there's solid, back and forth discussion around every pick, even if it's a no-brainer.

Edit: Whoops, don't mean to speak for Jiri on this. Just my 2 and a half cents.

[bigrangy]

I'll take the Habs

[jmac98]

Sure, whatever you guys like. I did the smiley face because with it being Edmonton I knew my choice would have a big impact to this exercise and of course they're the whipping boys on this forum.

Whatever you guys like I'm fine with. I'm not here to bugger anything up or try and favour Calgary. I understand the point of the thread and what will make it fun for all.

Also, how cool is it that Sean Monahan joined CP all the way back in '07? I mean, it's kind of weird that he wants to pick for the 'Yotes, but the fact he's a member here is pretty awesome.

[Five-hole]

I'll do Vancouver. I'm mindful of the caution given to jmac as the Oilers.
