It's been a while when I picked a player in a draft. The last one was Niko Bogdanovic in S55 with 6th OV and it ended up perfectly. But for now Riga is slowly is going out of competition and I also will have three firsts in the S61 draft. We're now waiting for more professional draftee rankings look from @BluObieZ, but I'm going to do some draft notes for myself here. TOP guys? I think we have an established TOP 4 draftees. Thompson, Gate, Sterling and Cast are likely fighting for being a first OV pick due to veteran users. My team is now third, but I expect us to fall to the fifth place and lose in a wildcard round for a lotto pick so one of them likely will be drafted by the Reign too. Other first round draftees? We also have good draftees for a second half of the first round. Arvid Aamo who's trying to take the #1 goalie draftee position from Sterling; Harding a.k.a. Dennis is looking decent as well; Rockstar is trying to finally make a reliable player in Vega; the new Oslo GM with Kovalev came out later than others, but already looks fine; and another defensive Jokinen...although I'm not sure about his draft position. If Davos GM sells a S61 first for finally competing, Alvaro may even fall to fourth or so round to just be drafted by the Dynamo. What about first gens? We've had a lot of first gens from YouTube or other sites, but only couple of them are still here. The best of them is Jacob Smith with 49 TPE, but Robert Malenko is not far behind with 47 TPE (btw, he didn't claim his rookie profile TPE yet). Both of them are defs btw. Then we have Ryan Skinner and Greg Santos with both having 43 TPE. You could say that Greg would have a hard time to make into the VHL league, but he's actually in a decent position now. After S60, four team will need goalies so it's not that hard. Another mention goes to Wold Edmunds who stil pops in. Positions? Pretty much every position is represnted well...every but a right wing. Right now only Kovalev looks good, even though we can argue about Preencarnation who still didn't claim TPE from media and other things. But this position is still meh compared to others so far. Dark horses? Mikka Pajari could end up as a decent player is Devise wouldn't lose an interest too early; aforementioned Preencarnation could be another interesting draftee. Lev Bronstein a.k.a stevo could finally make a fine def player once again if keeps up with claiming welfare. I also should mention about Chat - the league had some hype about this player when the chat was brought back, but seems like it didn't bring back much interest to eaglesfan anyway. sad life. This was the short preview of the S61 draft or whatever you want to call it. See ya in draft young guns. That's it and I'm out. 6 TPE goes to Krīgars tagging a bunch of members, showing some love @Beketov @Will @street @Victor @Daniel @iRockstar @.sniffuM @Ahma @Laflamme @Tagger @Devise @troy @eaglesfan036 @Wolf Edmunds @rampagemaster @jacobaa19 @pennypenny

*I don't recall, but this probably was my first avatar here* We entered into S60 with 4 contender teams. Other 2-3 are ''fighting'' for the fifth place and chance to lose to a fourth team. The Riga Reign team is one of them. This team had it's peak in S56-58 with three Victory Cups and two Continental Cups along with couple of personal awards, but all good things are always coming to and end. This is definitely the last season Riga has at least some chances for continuing the playoff streak (Riga is the leader on playoff appearances so far with 37). The real rebuild starts next season and I obviously need a plan to not make it too long. So there are some questions about my plans: 1. Will I create a GM player goalie? A lot of GM's were creating goalies lately as this was a safe option to not rely on other member and this position is very important in any sim league. Do I need to do this as well? Kinda hard question, to be honest. This draft actually has some of promising goalies and I'll likely make a decision on the trade deadline. Let's see the S61 goalie draftees: Roger Sterling - @Will Arvid Aamo - @Daniel Brody Neufeld - @Broalie34 Greg Santos - @Barracuda Leather Flasher - @Aiden G Michael Burwaza - @Burzawa Pricey Care - @YayIWin This draft has a whopping 7 goalies! However, we need to take into account the later three are already inactive. So that brings us to four other goalies. *Greg Santos - joined before this YouTube recruiting campaign, currently a Yukon Rush player. Seems like a welfare player. Not the most active, but thanks for still hanging with us. *Brody Neufeld - from YouTube. Still a 30 TPE player although he has some things to claim, like rookie profile and press conference answers. *Arvid Aamo - yet another Daniel's attempt to come back. His two or three previous recreates failed. However, his most successful player is a goalie so we can't write him out. *Roger Sterling - Draper's goalie. A commish. A safe pick at this moment, but he may be drafted by Toronto as Dollar isn't happy with his own goalie. My verdict: not sure. May try to not create a goalie if all four aforementioned goalies are staying active. 2. Will I create a second player? I have two S62 first round picks so there is a possibility I could make a second one to draft him to Riga. It's not like I'm against being drafted by other team, but I need to grab as much young players as possible for rebuilding purposes. 3. Will I even rebuild? Yes. There is no reason to not go for it without my GM player playing in Riga. It makes perfect sense for a fresh start with my player(s) being a S62 draftee. These were some of my thoughts about the Reign's future. I had a fun with winning a lot of things, but it's time to start for the scratch (ok, it will be following this season) and see if I could make the same powerhouse once again. That's it and I'm out. 6 TPE goes to Krīgars
