Pool: 10th Annual C4G WJC Pool - Everyone Loses

[Canada4Gold]

I only just invited him yesterday. It's likely he hadn't done that much research with his draft not starting until Monday

 

[Morgs]

Alright, I probably shouldn't do this but I'm gonna lose anyway.

I'm gonna take G - Jesper Wallstedt.

@Statsy you're FINALLY up.

 

[Canada4Gold]

The issue is like the Buffalo Sabres every single #1OA pick has tanked their interview with Team Morgs.

Try not to reference specific players until they're picked as it could influence others. I think it's clear who you're talking about here. If you don't pick him someone else might be more willing to because you seemed to be thinking about it.

edit: I may have misread the post though

Nope, my bad. I was making a joke about the ~7 guys interviewing for my team at 1OA were all tanking their pre-draft interviews (like Statsy joked about) and making fun of Buffalo in the process. The player you're [maybe, potentially] referring to was not in the conversation at my pick.

yeah I realized I read the post incorrectly after and edited

I’ll take Alexander Holtz, now that we know he’s for sure going.

He doesn't have very many Holtz in his game. Could be a solid pick.

I'm really curious how the top of this draft is going to go. I have roughly a top 7, but I wavered back and forth a ton, and everyone is so close. I feel like I've said that every year since 2016 but this year feels even moreso. Need a 3 guys to go off the board so I'm not left with none of that top 7. Normally that would seem like an unreasonable ask but it's so close this year anything could happen

Soooo wide open this year. Somebody midway through this round will say “I had that guy at number one!” and actually be telling the truth for once.

And save the puns for the other draft, C4G!

My number 1 guy is still there, and this will sound ridiculous but I don't think it's impossible he's there until 10.

Neither of the top guys gone were near the top of my list.

Could mean I am dumb, or more likely means this draft is the most open I have seen in years of doing this. Picking in the middle sounds fun.

Holtz was my #2. I usually have no clue when to pick goalies in these pools so while Wallstedt wasn't near the top, I assume they're all gone by 20 so it's a tough choice. I can get behind him that high.

pming next

 

[Canada4Gold]

Forget 20. All the goalies might be gone by 7

[Prntscrn]

Lucky me I got my #1, William Eklund

@m0pe

I knew you would take him

 

[Prntscrn]

I knew you would take him

Sorry Not only is he Swedish, he also plays for my team and his father is a legend in the same team. It was an obvious one if he was still there.

 

[m0pe]

Lookie here, got my #1 too

Realistically every starter from the top-5 teams could be gone by 19. I was between Wallstedt, Perfetti, Eklund, and Holtz. Decided not to risk it and hope two of my tier-2 guys drop to 20/21. Probably a mistake, but that's what I get for not preparing more.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I won't be here until mid morning. If FinPanda hasn't picked within the 12 hours DO NOT skip him. We've got plenty of time and the initial picks are the most important.

OK, feel free to post. @Morgs is the extra participant. He created his own pool in the Leafs forum last year which I participated in so felt like I could return the favor when a spot opened up.

If anyone wants to be an alternate for someone who for whatever reason can't participate anymore suddenly, or is slow a lot feel free to say so. It's unlikely you'll participate however.

If a spot opens up, let me know!
