2022 Draft Discussion

[DApolloS]

I sent you a message shortly after you joined and it showed read. It's fine though. We had made a deal as Hawks doesn't like to draft in the late rounds to get rid of all of his picks past round 2 (three 4ths a 5th and a 6th) for a couple picks next season.

Yep. I have them 8 (Mintyukov), 9 (Mateychuk) and 10 (Korchinski) right now. Korchinski is interesting. As I say in my writeup on him, no WHL U18 defender has posted the kind of assist pruduction Korchinski did since Daryll Sidor in 1989-1990. On the other hand, he has only shot at 2.2% so far in the W. If he improves his shot, he's going to be the best of the three, I think.

did you post your rankings somewhere? You had a site IRRC.

Here is the current top 32. I'm working on writing up the top 64 and finalizing the full ranking. This top 32 will likely change some over the next week or so, but probably not by a lot.

Partially why I took him. I think I gave him an edge in terms of his skating ability as well. His defensive performance needs to be tuned a little bit, but I think his ceiling is fairly high

Nice. thanks! You are a big fan of skill over other attributes in the 1st round it seems.

Skill and iq, mainly. I give a lot of weight to a players intelligence and work rate in addition to the production based on age. Skating is important, of course, but less so unless its a true detriment.

i hate you mik

[kyuss]

I want to make clear I don't reciprocate!

[Matthew]

Arian you selected a fake name

[Arian The Insider]

Arian you selected a fake name

Was hoping nobody would notice

[Matthew]

Anyone have contact with welchie outside of here that can let him know his pick is up? He hasn't signed in since May 25

[thom54]

i texted PIT mike - he's buddies w/ him

[Shoalzie]

He's on the clock until 9:19.

I've got trades updated and the 2nd round order is posted. I'm slowly adding the draftees to my database...only have the top 10 so far.

Please claim your picks on Fantrax.

[kimmer]

shoalzies drafting skills has improved a ton
now only if he wud not trade them for washed up stars later on to "push for that 8th spot in conference" it'd be awesome

Will get Welch’s pick in

why the fuck is he not being active?

And for that I feel badly. Did not anticipate life getting so busy when I joined the league. I started a Masters program in January and have two young boys at home - that takes up 99.9% of my time currently. Things will settle, I assure you.

Will get my pick in and look at the offers that have been sent to me recently. Again, my apologies.

It's commendable that you keep assuring us rather than just stepping down. You also didn't miss your pick so that works in your favour as well and most of your time on the clock was overnight.

Suppose that makes me the opposite of commendable?

Yeah.

You're still here even though you stepped down
