You just described Settlers of Katan tbh. Now that the Fong and Marlow-Marta are dead and buried, this is going to be my next victim.

https://vhlportal.com/VHL/60/Playoffs/VHL60-PLF-14.html Close enough I guess

I predict 1. Chershenko 2. Glover 3. White

Could I feasibly stay up til 2 on a Sunday. No But I will certainly discuss.

Not necessarily - trade deadline recreates pick up off-season TPE from before they were created basically.

Exactly. That said, still need a great goalie before you need a great defenceman.

Goaltender is only the 2nd most important position.

The league isn't ready.

Today is probably draft day and in a pleasing turn of events I am still not 100% sure where I will end up. That is possibly the first time ever as even back in my first draft in S11, being a goalie, I think my possible destinations were quite limited. Since then it's been either GM players (Berger, Bentley) or my draft position was well known to me far in advance (Chershenko, Clegane). 2nd overall was the result of the latter two and could it be that again? Would certain work nice as an alliteration given the name Cast. However, I also deem this the least likeliest outcome, slightly beating out the also unlikely outcome of me going 1st overall. Ultimately, the sounds coming out of Seattle have been quite secretive while the sounds coming out of Quebec have been quite non-existent and while I think Bana is simply stirring up some draft anticipation and has already decided on his 1st overall pick (be it Gate or Thompson), at least he has been stirring it up a bit. I expect to end up at 3rd overall but would also not be surprised to fall to 4th - I'd say I rank the probabilities as 65/25, with the remaining 10% split between 1st and 2nd overall. That means my likeliest 2 destinations are Riga and Seattle which is great for 2 reasons - 1) I have never played for either franchise and 2) they together own half of the 1st round which should set them up very nicely to start the rebuild. Plus, while their teams will be god awful in S61 and Cast will go straight up to the VHL, that might well mean some very nice point totals in the rookie season. In summary, while pleased with any of the 3ish possible outcomes of the upcoming draft, I am especially pleased with the fact that this close to the draft there are still that many possible outcomes.

Can add Ko Kane now too - didn't pick up player option.

@Bushito I think you missed me off week 5 results but I definitely have a PM to you in that week! +1 TPE please thank you.

1. Just a smoothie like a true 2018 metrosexual. 2. Have to listen to at least 1 podcast every gameday morning, otherwise bad things will happen. 3. We're almost here and if I had to bet then it'd be 3rd overall to Riga. But, top 2 GMs have been hard to read so maybe higher. 4. Continental Cup, a few 100-point seasons, and hopefully enough to keep the HOF player streak going, but it won't be the end of the world if that doesn't happen. 5. Salt and vinegar.

still got a decision to make!

Quite a dilemma, wouldn't want to be a GM this draft. Although of course might be the easiest draft ever if everyone pans out.

Lmao Helsinki will never die. Shades of S24-S34 NY.

I remember that because CLEGANEBOWL

i'm not your bro m8

Easily my favourite player, only one I could guarantee would elevate the attacking play of any team. Exactly for that reason is besf EFT untarnished.

ooooh the plot thickens #BringVictorBackHome

Two amazing pieces of news.

We probably could have adapted the grammar section rather than get rid of the whole concept of grading entirely.
