2015 Draft Discussion

[CasperX22]

Anyone know what the latest point a player was drafted at who cracked a roster that next year? Surprised Sprong dropped that much too - will have a chip on his shoulder.

I love the spong situation. He's already said he plans to work on his 2 way game. Im much happier about sprong going late to the pens than debrusk going early to the Bs. It's all about situation.

Well the Pens don't believe in playing defense at all and are a bunch of douchebags, so he should fit right in . Fortunately for him he shouldn't have to worry about his two way game.

well we are still at a stage where these guys need to prove they are good enough to be NHLers to begin with, so worrying about their situation with the team that drafted them is a bit premature unless we are talking of the very top guys in the draft (and I know I'm at fault for the same, see an earlier comment of mine about Simon being drafted by the Pens, lol)

I worry about the team and development. Some teams can't develop like others

well if you're talking about development then I don't see reasons to be happy he landed in Pittsburgh

Um what? Why wouldn't you care about what situation your prospects land in? Often that is the difference between a promising prospect making it and not making it.

Personally I think that's BS.

Besides, these kids are yrs away so the NHL team's current situation is not the one they will find when they are ready to compete in the NHL..

again, unless we are talking of the very top end of the draft, or of overagers like Simon who already played at the WCH

[kyuss]

for those who still have to add their new players from the Entry Draft..

in case your player was not drafted and is not on Fantrax yet, use this form to request for him to be added:
http://www.fantrax.com/fantasy/requestN ... u1hu03n6f3

(remember to add links to hockeydb profiles)

[kyuss]

did others have any luck with that so far?

Fantrax has yet to add the couple of players I sent request for

[Matthew]

You need to send the hockeydb link. Fantrax no longer accepts eliteprospect links.

Yes, they have added my players.

[kyuss]

You need to send the hockeydb link. Fantrax no longer accepts eliteprospect links.

uhm, that's weird considering in their instruction page to request players addition they still recommend eliteprospects links along with hockeydb ones:
"Requests that do not include a link to such a source may not be fulfilled. For NHL, popular and reliable sources include hockeydb.com and eliteprospects.com."

This sucks considering hockeydb only has players who already appeared in senior leagues. Anyway, will try again sending them HDB links, thx

[Matthew]

Yep, i sent all eliteprospect links. I received emails on all the players saying they no longer accept eliteprospects, and to re-send using hockeydb.

However, the one player of mine that doesnt appear on hockeydb, they added.

[kyuss]

weird.. but nice

I guess I should get my bbkl/fantrax email back to work

[Matthew]

Please resend, referencing his hockey DB profile (we can no longer use
elite prospects).

Thanks,
Joe
The Fantrax Team
