Pool: 10th Annual C4G WJC Pool - Everyone Loses

Man I was really hoping Yurov was gonna drop 10 more picks. Probably the biggest upside of any F left.

I am so confused. He was in my groups of forwards I was picking from at 30/31. Of course that was a massive group(10+ names) so it's not that surprised someone fell quite a ways, but I was astounded he's still here. It's my pool so I'm putting all the names in the list but I did a CTRL + F anyway to make sure I didn't miss it

I couldn't believe he got through FinPanda only for you to take him :mad:

Now I gotta go find yet another D and figure out which of the 2 forwards that nobody else apparently wants I'm going to take.

You mentioned you needed a D, so I figured I would take mine before your double pick and take my F on the way back lol

I was almost certainly going 1 D and 1 F unless somehow both my 2 forwards went off the board. So obviously it depended on which D and which F you wanted. We had the same defenceman so I guess you had the right plan

I had him ranked 47th for F with 5 guys left ahead of him, but I think it's mostly due to opportunity instead of upside. I simply don't trust a coach that doesn't bring 2 of his 4 best defenseman and a top-6F. I could see him put up 10 points or 0 points based on opportunity alone. Russia is a tough draft this year for me besides guys like Khusnutdinov, Ponomaryov, Shakir, Svechkov, Michkov, Kirsanov & Chibrikov.

Russia is ALWAYS a tough team to figure out. But just imagine we were doing these drafts in the Cold War 80’s when you knew absolutely nothing about them. :laugh:

Last year with Larionov it kind of felt like they were more open though (it was my first year doing a WJC draft) besides their insane reasoning for not playing their 2C most of the tournament.

This year I have NO idea what's going through their heads. Might as well be the Cold War 80's :laugh:

The fact that's he's 18 before the thing starts gives me some hope. Still draft eligible but he's only got 1 more of these things after this year like a lot of guys who do well. Plus it's not Bragin's Russia anymore where 17 years olds barely got a sniff. I'm still slightly concerned which is why I took guys like Jarventie, Niederbach, Mysak, etc ahead of him. I seen Russia forward group as a group of about 7 or 8 guys that are all fairly close, Marat and Michkov with the edge of course. So I could see him on the 3rd line easily, but I believe in his talent that he can score from there so as long as he doesn't get completely buried.

Hope it works out for you. I was going to take the risk if he dropped to me.
 
Guslistov and Sourdif were end of a tier for me.

Knew I should waited on last D
