2015 Draft Discussion

[Shoalzie]

Draft order info updated for the end of the regular season. The order still isn't official with GP still at stake but you know who is a lottery team and who isn't.

As far as GP is concerned...if you're near or above 1000 games, you're in good shape. There's 4 weeks of games left. If you've averaged around 40+ games a week, then you're more than safe. If you're closer to 900 and below, then you're looking for 50+ per week. For non-playoff teams, you need to make sure you continue setting your lineup for each week...especially if you've not yet reached 1100 games.

I should be okay, 52 GP this week with 2 D at 0 games. 49.25 per week to meet GP.

Yeah, it's not impossible for you. I just ripped off 57 games this past week.

I hope you can reach it...you've got quite a bit at stake with yours and Ottawa's pick.

Thanks Scott.

I noticed one thing to fix:

CLB and ANA are tied in pts, but ANA finished 11W-11L, whereas CLB had 9W-12L, so their positions should be reversed.

What's the real first tiebreaker? I thought it was wins as in category wins. When did it become matchup wins?

years ago, when we decided we should at least reward in some (albeit insufficient) manner the matchup wins. I think it was when Shiv added the W-L-T record to the standings page.

only his pick can be affected by his GP though

Gotcha. The tiebreaker on Dave's standings still says "wins"...needs to be more specific, I guess.

[Mike]

Anyone tracking the draft order thus far?

[Shoalzie]

Um...first post, Michael.

[Mike]

thanks

[Shoalzie]

I'll work on getting the full order updated after each round of the playoffs. Only one spot is slotted now...Winnipeg is the 15th pick.

[Shoalzie]

Reportedly April 18 will be the date for the lottery.

So it begins

[Fraser]

Sitting at #9. Agressively looking to trade up into the top 6. It is mostly due to paranoia as my guy very well may still be there at 9. I have 4 picks in the top 40. Lets find a way to make this happen Dallas, St. Louis, Edmonton, Philly, Arizona. Willing to explore a simple or complicated deal, willing to get creative, lets do this.

[Lee]

I'd want Fowler.

[Fraser]

Its not impossible. Let's talk.

[Lee]

3 for player is what I am currently offering.

[Fraser]

I'll PM you. I think we can have something here.

[Bruyns]

3 for player is what I am currently offering.

24 year old David Savard. Elite stats sitting at 19th in Fantrax score currently between Pieterangelo and Seabrook.

[Lee]

His stats don't add up to his worth. He has fantastic stats but isn't worth 3rd overall.

[Lee]

I knew I should have pushed harder for him back in the day lol.

[Bruyns]

His stats don't add up to his worth. He has fantastic stats but isn't worth 3rd overall.

Figured his stats are easily better than Lindholm or Fowler so I'd give it a shot. He definitely lacks name value and there could be doubt he continues to produce at this rate. I have Nurse, Gudbranson, Gostisbehere, Pulock, McDonagh, Zadorov and Gudas. Would be interested in 3 and maybe 5 so we can talk closer to the draft if you still have the pick.

Fun stuff...the CHL playoffs starting up tonight and the NCAA tournament starts tomorrow.
