WE DRAFTED OUR 2023-24 NHL FANTASY TEAM

With the NHL season around the corner, 12 members of the BarDown team put on their GM hats to take part in our own fantasy draft. Luca, Julia, Jesse and DZ are here to discuss their picks of the first two rounds.

[@electrohouselover07]

would have loved to see the results from everyone in the draft. Btw those phones draft list were really hard to read lol. Loved the video tho. Keep it up

[@ayejayekaye4562]

Good honest feedback 👍🏼

[@yes0genesis]

Gonna need to see Corwin's team.

[@ayejayekaye4562]

I somehow managed to get Makar, McAvoy, Heiskinen, Vince Dunn, and Shea Theodore on defense this year. Beyond hyped for the season

[@UnHappySlushyGaming]

that's a Nasty D Core wow

[@Dutchovenderlinde]

That’s an elite defense. I got Makar, Hedman, Dunn, Gostisbehere and Hanifin for mine.

[@nickgappmayer5939]

@@DutchovenderlindeAyye we both have Maker and Hedmen. I also have Trouba, Seth jones, and Spurgon for my top 5 💯. Jones numbers should go up with Bedard

[@mcj44]

Managed to get both Reinhart and Miller, top 2 in my league 💪

Kuch in the 3rd panarin in the 7th….you guys sure you cover the sport?

Love the Detroit Vipers jersey in the background!

Yall should do bidding drafts so much fun

[@Kjell777Iverson]

lmao fuckin robocop over here 😂

[@Yetso97]

Rickard Rakell's value goes WAY up when you play multiple positions up front. His triple eligibility is so important for eeking out and points you can every day.

[@nickgappmayer5939]

And that’s why I drafted him 💯

[@Yetso97]

@@nickgappmayer5939 same, those triple eligible forwards are absolute game changers in deeper fantasy drafts.

[@bigchillinpodcast]

agreed they sleeeepin

[@Dutchovenderlinde]

I got Rantanen, Crosby, Hintz, Kyle Connor, Aho, Tuch, Buchnevich, Zegras Barzal, Connor Brown, Sam Bennett Jenner and Fantilli for forwards; Makar, Hedman, Hanifin, Dunn, Gostisbehere, Forsling and Orlov on defense; Hellebuyck and Andersen in goal

[@andyfick5459]

Hate your squad no lie haha

[@Dutchovenderlinde]

[@Baguel]

You should do some kind of quiz where you give the guys the stats of all the games of a stanley cup finals and they have to guess the teams and the year! Like mabye using the stats in Pineholes Graham youtube channels video titled "Ranking every stanley cup finals of the last 15 years". Think it would be fun

[@charmew]

Absolutely no love for D men in this league. No shots or hit points. Makes sense to draft solely based on goals and goalies that win. Run minimal D guys

[@Aleko-mtl]

She did an amazing pick with Hughes

[@sheaandrus-oak6546]

Who were the other 8 players

[@Minimish28]

Definitely wished there was at least some mention of which players were drafted in between of the panels picks, especially from Luca 2nd to Julia 8th is a huge gap

[@jaygee1477]

We have keepers from year to year - definite X factor

[@danielrosario7524]

NHlL25 Dreamfeature: A multiplayer story mode Be able to play with and against your friends in Be A Pro. Playing Juniors together, getting drafted together, playing against each other in the season and playoffs, all-Star game against each other. I think that it will create a really great emotional depth with your character that other games like Minecraft has.

[@Heytheredude66]

Bar down idea. Everyone from the office does a ultimate draft. Who can draft the best team ever and then the people vote

[@chiefbeanus3224]

I got Matthew Tkachuk, Tage Thompson, Heiskanen, Coronato, Hischier, Bouchard, Demko in net and hopefully a sleeper pick in Taylor Hall. I picked in the same spot as DZ and we picked the same two players first lol

[@samyip4548]

2 months later.. I’m sorry for you bro.

[@TheMemeBorrower.]

Jesse legit drafted an INSANE team. Hopefully he picked Vilardi back up😂

[@superkjell]

How are we supposed to be able to read those phone teams? And I'm watching on a huge screen...

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

JACKIE HUGHES RULES

[@lukelicursi6737]

"...and he cut his hair!"

[@sclemson8541]

Luca is gunna get walked on ha. Giorgiev is a rough pick. Don't get me wrong, great goalie on a good team but a lot of better picks. Jul picked some great players.

[@hertz7498]

i got Marchand in the last round of the draft

[@vanjansen3443]

Luca is probably hurting now with how good MacKinnon is doing vs how Draisatil is doing

[@andrewcash9012]

In my fantasy league I have Matthews, Bedsy, Ovi, Barbashev, Pavelski, Marchessault, EK65, Burns, DeAngelo, Power, Laine, Byram, Tarasenko, Freddie, Jarry, Kochetkov

[@hchebo502]

where do you play fantasy nhl

[@haydenbell8743]

I like Team Pollock the most

[@linuspatterson544]

Why is Jesse wearing a blindfold?

[@choms]

I don't want to admit it but I think it's because he smokes weed and his bosses tell him to wear it so that his high eyes don't show.

[@neitzey5959]

He’s actually high on LSD so if his pupils were to show during this he would get in trouble.

[@DanielDaniel-fb6oi]

Make a another quiz please

[@BraedenD]

Akira schmid is my backup behind Ullmark so…..

[@johnhendrickson1806]

The take Georgiev over a goalie like Shesterkin or vas is crazy. Even if you want to go for wins someone like Oettinger would have been better I think. Although as a rangers fan love Georgie.

[@jamielennard3388]

Pretty sure Georgiev would have been the top goalie last year. 40 wins + 5 shutouts + 6 overtime losses is 141 points.

[@johnhendrickson1806]

@@jamielennard3388 I think the point system should be a bit better when it comes to goalies. Instead of relying on team wins have some type of points earned for amount of saves per game or save percentages. That way having shesterkin would be a no brained even if the rangers will only be in 3rd or 4th.

[@jamielennard3388]

@@johnhendrickson1806 Oh, I 100% agree. I'm not a fan of their scoring system at all, I just think Georgiev is a good pick given the parameters given.

[@TheBreakaway88]

Hughes falling to 10 and rants after that??? Who the fuck was taken earlier than that lol

Luca.

[@tracehodges6188]

DZ easily

[@gradtzky_88]

Short handed points should be 1.5 not 0.5

i bet they're regretting the edmonton picks...

[@chestercheeto9768]

How do you not have saves or save percentage or gaa in this league. Fail don’t care now

[@fragos]

Dumb Kucherov is #1 in points !!!!

[@GoldRush61]

I cheated in all my fantasy leagues by having a fake account in the same league. I had one team on the app and one team on my computer then trade leon to my team on my phone for some rando then I have mcdavid and Leon makar marner.

[@kellenc_]

these guys dont understand hockey if Tkachuk is the 12th overall pick, bitter tsn

[@jeremycoffen4619]

In my fantasy I drafted 1st, I picked mcdavid, after my draft was over I then traded mcdavid, huberdeau, burns, and Andersen to an oilers fan FOR Mackinnon, bedard, eichel, and vanecek. I’d count that as a W trade

[@ayejayekaye4562]

#1 rule in fantasy is don’t trade McDavid 😭😭

[@nickknechtel7634]

Bar down needs to rehire. Z is good and most of them are but none of them are good at hockey so they don’t understand it at another level, which maybe what they want but I think the fans want to see some actual hockey knowledge from these guys.

[@420xo]

Why does anyone want these guys opinions, might as well take a random fan vote it's literally the same

[@brownguy8223]

That's the point

[@Nacnud92]

You do know that you can choose to not watch the video, right?

[@krog21]

Jesse needs to go.
