Less pressure going further down the board. My usual spot is around 5th I think. Molholt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboyinAmerica 2,887 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I've liked not going first. It gives me a storyline of wanting to do better than everyone picked ahead of me (not so much with Olsen, worked for Wingate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S1 and S18 were the times as GM draftee. S7 (2nd Overall), S14 (1ST OVERALL), S25 (2nd Overall), S31 (2nd Overall aka biggest VHL ripoff), S40 (2nd Overall), S48 (4th Overall). Safe to say 2nd Overall is where I belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop 3,425 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I'm curious to see how many members have been first overall multiple times. Time to research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop 3,425 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Results of said research: the following members have been drafted first overall multiple times: tfong (S7, S18) slobo (S14, S28, S38) CoachReilly (S26, S35) 8Ovechkin8 (S20, S36) Frank (S34, S47) Higgins (S39, S48) der meister and eaglesfan036 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop 3,425 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 A little more first overall/draft trivia: -7 first overall picks did not win a Continental Cup. Two of them are still playing (John Sleeman, Titan Kronos). -The S27 draft is the only draft in which every first round pick won a Continental Cup. In S14, first overall Malcolm Kelly was the only first round pick to not win a cup. eaglesfan036 and der meister 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop 3,425 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It would be interesting to see if any draft class as a whole has won a Continental Cup during every season in which they could play. The S1 draft would of course have the best chance at this, but no one from there (unless you also count the supplemental draft but I'm not) won in S8. I'll be back with the research in a moment.

scoop 3,425 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) The S2 draft did win cups in eight different seasons, but that's because several of the players were also playing in S1. However, no one in the draft class won in S9. There were a few other teams that also won in seven of their eight seasons, but no draft class thus far has a cup winner in every possible season. The S43 draft, however, has a winner from each of its first six seasons, and every team remaining in the playoffs except Quebec has an S43 player.

Wasty 566 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've gone: Third - only player to win one or more cups from the first round Seventh Twelfth I envision myself around 6-7-8 range this upcoming draft which means I've dropped in value haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
