Wow, I really thought we'd finish in the Top 4, but every team is good, and I'm really happy that we were even able to make the playoffs.
Should be fun.

Good article cottonking and look forward to seeing you in atd#8. Stick around and comment on the playoff match-ups and by all means VOTE!
it's important that picks are not skipped in the early rounds, so a short clock would not meet the requirements of many, as the fall is a busy time, there will be nearly thirty of us spread over several time zones
this minor league draft and the last main all time draft have gone at a great pace
we went through the first seven rounds in seven days... that is fast!

If there's a short time limit in the first round then somebody's going to get skipped. If somebody gets skipped in the first round they miss out on the guy they've been planning to build their team around.
Funnily enough, the team that I ranked first (aside from Springfield) was Vancouver...now we get them in the first round!

so are mine
one doesn't send in a vote for one's own match-up of course, just the other three
(and g.m.s out of the playoffs and past alltime drafters are encouraged to vote as well)

we did call-ups and all-star players already...
and since analysis has been almost nonexistent, let's not bother

Anyang GM press conference.
The GM of Anyang states that he is a little bit dissapoointed by the performance of his team. All the more, since it seems unlikely to sign a coaching legend like Tarasov for the next season. We did all we could, but a glaring hole in goal makes us feel that this is why we didn´t make the play-offs. Captain Shadrin says that "a fly-catcher cost us dear". Obviously, with the prospect of Tarasov leaving next season, the locker room is already beginning to divide. Dafoe has to say this to the criticism regarding him. "The GM chose me so I believe he thaught I fit in the system. I really don´t see why I should take all the blame". Meanwhile, Tarasov is furious because making the play-offs was the minimal goal for this season. "Of course there are other teams running for the spots, but with a team like this it was almost guaranteed to take one". Still, Tarasov criticises that he was not given the puck moving D that he would like to have had to play the system that he prefers. "Next time the GM better thinks about his choices. He knows my style, he knows the style of the players. Whatmore os there to say?"
It seems that after this season the team of Anyang is torn.

Atd#7 - Minor League Hart Trophy winning MVP: Yuri Liapkin of the Ice-o-Topes
The top scoring defenseman from the 1972 Summit Series, with 6 points in 6 games, has shone as the most valuable player in Springfield in its team's success, which just happens to be not only in the playoffs, but as the top seed. At 6'0 and 185 lbs he wasn't the fastest Soviet blueliner, but he is one of the best.

Yeah, I don't think anybody would have voted for themselves...
Gah! I already did that...oh well.
Clearly I didn't have the time for this MLD to really compete. Thought I had a good start, but as things got hectic for personal and business reasons I left too much on the table at the end.
But it's always fun.

I love that picture. The look on his face is priceless.

No voting from me, no laptop at home means the only time to do any research is at work...
I again humbly throw myself at the mercy of Van for being so inactive in the last half of the draft. **** happens sometimes.
