Sixersfan594 247 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 How Expansion Effects The Draft When people think about expansion in sim leagues they generally think about how the teams will adjust and whether expansion was necessary. Here I will explore its effect on the draft. Starting with the consensus number one prospect, Condor Adrienne, it will have minimal effect on him. It has been previously noted that Adrienne plans on going to a team that can win immediately and has history with his agency. Neither expansion team can provide either of those scenarios off the bat thus this change will not effect Adrienne. Given that lottery odds are unknown, I will assume expansion team odds will be placed somewhere outside of the top two, and this leads to Lance Flowers likely to be drafted by a well-established organization. Following those two top prospects there is a chunk of prospects who have been grouped together due to skill level for a while. Underyew, Downey, Eller, and Lehtinen Jr, are the prospects who will most likely be effected the most by this expansion. The drop-off following these four is not too high and the expansion teams can expect a future top line player -- but maybe not a franchise player from picking in those slots. The expansion suddenly changes the beginning of the second round, and the mid/late lottery assuming they are not lucky enough to get the top pick.It will be interesting to see how these teams approach their drafting strategies -- maybe trading back will do the trick for those teams!

NotAVHLM-GM 1,858 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Newsflash: Adrienne would actually love to go to an expansion team. So lets give them lottery picks. I have won enough in the VHL so this would be a nice experience Sixersfan594 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/67719-how-expansion-effects-the-draft/#findComment-655707 Share on other sites More sharing options...
