2016 NHL Mock Draft - brought to you by KilkennyDan

First off, some 'thank yous' all the way around.

Thanks Dan for bringing this idea to the masses.
Thanks Falcons Guy for bringing in some hockey heads to make this happen.
Thanks Joe for having a brother that is cooler than you.

Ok, down to the hammer and nails. Joe and RT have put together a very sound set of rules for the NFL mock that they have each season. The rules for the NHL mock will be very similar in nature. Here is a copy of their rules - http://live4sportnetwork.com/forumlist/viewtopic.php?pid=392145#p392145

Now, the basic rules from there will apply here and I will edit them into the next post once Joe and I have confirmed some minor details.

The commissioners for this animal house will be Joe, Falcons Guy and Tim. There should be someone available at all times of day to keep things rolling in an quasi-orderly and semi-ditchtastic fashion.

If you have any questions be sure to post them and I will attempt to woo you with my bullshit until we agree that neither of us know what the fuck we are talking about.

Gentlemen - Let the good times roll.

EDIT: Follow the spirit of the NFL Mock rules linked to above.

Even Strength? pfft. More like 5 minutes for fighting.

 

Just got out of the box from the first round fight.

 

5 for message boarding.

Too Cheesy?...

 

The correct amount of cheese with no hint of desperation.

Verdict - Success

 

Tim you may want to change "I" into "Tim" on the original post. Not everyone would figure it out.

 

Good point.

 

Tim if we ever expand to 7 we can use my 1st post as round 7 and move the regs to your "Tim" first post.

Looks like there might be a canadian in the top 5, dubois from cape breton, unbelieveable nylander dropped so far down to 13th in this mock draft.

 

I think Alex is going to be the best pro hockey player in his family. He'll go top 10.

Probably.

 

Most scouts hold the leaf brother in higher regard. A lot of secondary assists, small and weak defensive game. He was ranked anywhere from 4 to 8 in march, now it seems like 5 to 13.
My childhood friends son adam is ranked 43rd right now.

 

The Leafs' Nylander is a good un fer sure. I met both of them in Helsinki; it's an instinct that tells me Alex will be great. But, I think his older brother will be too. I'm really splitting hairs to say Alex will be better over his career.

What I would really prefer is that both could become Sabres.

 

adam mascherin has good weight for his height. the left winger has been shooting up the boards of many prospect rankings. listed at 5 foot 10 and over 200 lbs.
