[Dakinjor]

i should get bonus points for slamming that LA kings pick @ 26

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

I did pretty well I think. Everyone but the 1st went way higher than I selected other than the goalie who I didn’t select haha. I knew the trend would be towards bigger players this year and was correct! Lowest pick was 91st and if the Rangers hadn’t stolen Protas before the goalie pick it would have been a home run.

+204

What’s the penalty for a player not selected?

Edit - with a -98 point penalty it’s a +106. That goalie I didn’t select hurt big time lol. But I was too busy to pick at the time so Kay sera sera.

Very little to complain about, especially with the substandard performances I've had the past couple of years (+/- wise anyways). Small defenders aren't getting much love these days but I thought Tichacek's production would get him a look late. Smolka and Hendrickson were shots in the dark so not too surprised they didn't get taken. The two Russians taken in the 7th (Korostelyov & Gabdrakhmanov) and Detroit's pick Landon Miller were in consideration though so making the wrong pick there kinda sucks but alas, goalies are a crapshoot.

I did pretty well I think. Everyone but the 1st went way higher than I selected other than the goalie who I didn’t select haha. I knew the trend would be towards bigger players this year and was correct! Lowest pick was 91st and if the Rangers hadn’t stolen Protas before the goalie pick it would have been a home run.

What’s the penalty for a player not selected?

We've been taking the *spot after the last pick (226) and subtracting it from where your player was selected to get the - number as the penalty for an undrafted choice.

Hey, that's way better than I usually do. Apparently I've got a good read on defenseman and not so much for forwards.

Pour one out for poor @belair eating a -147 because nobody would take a swing on Tomas Galvas

Undersized Dmen took a beating in this draft. Aron Kiviharju fell, too.

I was feeling pretty good after the first round seeing Danford go at 31. Nice to see Yegorov go early, too.

Haha true enough as evidenced by Fibigr giving me a nice -112

Yeah, I've learned my lesson from previous drafts. 5'10 defencemen fall like rocks unless they're absolutely elite.

Zellweger doesn't seem like too bad of a pick for the Ducks right now.

He's 5'9, doesn't count

Yup. League was trending away hence my drafting trees strategy worked. Whoever picked my goalie is fired though.

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Oh shoot.. I’ll do aggregate score sometime tomorrow. I don’t think I did one for the year prior either. Not like it matters anymore.
