S37 VHL Entry Draft Discussion

Isn't that way outdated?

 

Looking at it closer I'm not sure. It has NYA as 1st overall, but it correctly has Riga with the 5th overall pick, which was a fairly recent trade. I think Kendrick may have just made a mistake with the ownership of the 1st and 2nd picks.

A zero thought mock:

 

1ST - RIG- Tom Slaughter

2ND - NYA - Slaeter Fjorsstrom

3RD - NYA - Logan Laich

4TH - NYA - Konstantin Azhishchenkov

5TH - RIG - Jakob Linholm

6TH - COL - Blaine Olynick

7TH - HEL - Mikael Svensson

8TH - CGY - Travis Boychuk

9TH - HEL - Kimmo Salo

10TH - COL - Ron World Peace

 

#4 and #7 are turning points for me. With so many wings, figured NYA would go for the center instead of the winger at 4. And we'll see whether STZ drafts a goalie, waits and hopes nobody trades up to 8, or doesn't take one at all. And if he doesn't select Salo, the race for #7 is wide open.

Absolutely love the sensation of not 100% knowing where you will be selected, adds a ton of fun to the draft for me personally. 

 

I also love curveballs being thrown in during the draft. In my S33 draft, everybody and their brother knew I was 100% going to Toronto at #3... until the Bears took me at #2, leaving the rest of the board scrambling. Wouldn't be surprised if a trade (#4? #8?) shook up the board.

Let's all take a second and appreciate that this draft will take place without a top prospects game being played before.

Whole new territory.

Actually, this was the first draft in a long time which had the game scheduled before, but Jardy didn't deliver. :/

Oh I wasn't aware of this, first season here.

I guess hope is not all lost that the game will get simmed eventually

Oh that it will, if only because it gets done at the same time as the All-Star Game (I don't know if they're actually linked in the sim). Still a tad disappointed because it was all mapped out perfectly this off-season. gah!
