I'm very happy to see my players get deserved acknowledgement. Getting 4 players to the 24 man lineup is more than I expected.
I wanted to bring some new thoughts on the board. Lower the treshold to draft an European instead of more proven NHLer. That's probably the main reason for taking part to this. And yes, I wanted to reveal you some uncut gems like Oksanen.
I've been lurking around for the past couple of drafts and have always thought that people generally seem to underrate the European stars here. And I've thought it must be because people are just unfamiliar with them. There's no legendsofhockey.net for the international greats. The information is spread out all over the internet. And there's very limited amount of it. And that's a shame. The IIHF Hall of Fame has plenty of unused potential. I hope that one day they'll be able to provide a source like legendsofhockey.
For me, the drafting is the funniest part of the whole thing. It's exciting to see if the players you were targeting were on anyone else's sight. And the all-star team is a good idea. It provides all the participants a good source of who people think are the best players of the draft. It'll be fun to see if any of the all-star players gets picked in the upcoming ATD.
