[Beveridge]

It was between him and another, I liked him better.

Come on, Mikey. 6 picks in 10 minutes - The Dream!

[Avyran]

And now we're getting into the "Who?" picks. The good players whose stats don't exactly stick out, meaning you won't hear much of them unless you follow the team (or just are into depth players).

It's a fun way to learn more about the league, though.

youll know danny dekeyser after this year

[Letang Is The Truth]

also im very pleased with our RW. you can easily slot any of them on any line

He's already the best defensive player on the wings blueline, and I think it's a pretty clear margin too. Excellent selection. Vlasic clone.

[Kraftster]

The little bit of hockey I did watch last year involved a lot of Detroit. I really really like Dekeyser.

[Letang Is The Truth]

h/t to kraftster on that one

[Idoit40fans]

mmmm Clarke MacArthur.

[pcm]

Lets keep this train rolling...

[count2infinity]

was it Hugo that loved MacArthur? I can't remember who wanted to trade everything we had for him.

after the 2014-15 NHL season or after the Dispersal draft simulated season?

Someone should figure out a way on nhl 15 to create a 12 team league, plug in the players and simulate the season for the hell of it.

I think the biggest factor that wouldn't translate is coaching.

[Letang Is The Truth]

you could chose the 5 styles that you want as your defaults for the defensive, break out, forecheck, offensive set up, etc

Yeah, I was thinking about that and figured you could put the players on the team that the coach is. Wouldn't factor the AC but would be about as close as you could get.

ahhh...good call. that'd be really interesting.

[pcm]

That would be pretty neat. It'd be even neater if we could simulate Kovy's picks.

[Avyran]

I hear Mikey rates David Moss really high; perhaps we could give him to Kovy.

[Beveridge]

Kovy's auto draft has Craig Adams next.

[mikey287]

There are hockey simming programs that do exist.

[Avyran]

In all honesty, doing both ways would be really cool. Hearing everyone's opinions on the rosters would be interesting (and also seeing the voting, whether we make it public or not). Seeing a computer sim would be also be fun, especially considering EA's amusing rating system if we use NHL 14/15.

BCS style... coach's poll, AP poll, and the computer
