All draft dates have officially been added!

Yeah not sure what happened with the abbreviations. Looks like Mercs were changed to Nordic and the new European team took over Nordic; it’s confusing but it works I guess. Nice to see Papa being lights out after that first game.

1 player does not a team make.

Thompson, Lahtinen, Dood, Idaho… All 2-way power forwards that dominated the Boulet the last 20 seasons and 3/4 of which (the last isn’t retired yet) we’re first ballot HoF. A power forward isn’t inherently bad and in my experience the penalties can be balanced off.

One letter off you could say

So I know this is gonna look like a joke given the day but it's not actually I'm going to be away this upcoming week, returning Monday the 11th (in time for the ZT2 stream the 15th!). I'll still have my phone on me so I'll likely be around here and there but won't be super active so if you have any pressing issues I would suggesting poking @Josh instead. Also I promise this isn't like a @Quik vacation, I'll actually be back.

It definitely wouldn’t make sense but many things Bush did made no sense. I do recall him giving me a reason at the time but I don’t remember what it was. Don’t tell me what to do

Lahtinen was #2. If Bush had just flipped the order of his first two picks (since he owned first and second) I would have had three straight 1OV players.

The TPA Tool will also do the same thing but be a little more user friendly. I’m also not sure if the spreadsheet contains the above mentioned tweaks.

@Dil / @Josh PO and PC are appearing in goalie updating which should be hidden as it was before. Although we have to test how much PC can do that can come later. For now anyone with a goalie please do not touch these categories.

Forgot we made that change haha. Yeah we thought it might be a tad confusing to have them be the same abbreviation.

Meant to mention this before it went live but that’s okay. You may notice that your build differs slightly from what you tested with originally. Based on feedback we made a couple of changes to the attributes and ratios between the original announcement and now. First, the passing attribute was weighted too high and made it very out of line with the others cost wise so it’s ratio has been reduced slightly. Second, fighting was inadvertently capped very low so anyone looking to make a meme fighting build was stuck. We have rectified this by adding a solo fighting attribute in addition to it being present in grit. Third, speaking of grit, we have kept fighting as part of the attribute because we do feel like anyone looking to get huge amounts of hitting would ultimately drop the gloves now and then but we did hear the complaints about it being weighted too heavily so we have reduced fighting’s effect in grit. Overall the changes end up as: Hybrid Passing: Passing 0.38 -> 0.32 Hybrid Grit: Fighting 0.3 -> 0.24 Hybrid Fighting: Fighting 0.3

Ouch

Best goalies in the league right here.
