Categories Draft (Sign-ups + Discussion)

[Makaveli]

We’re fiscally responsible over here in New York

Batherson with the next pick at a cap hit of 5M doesn't seem very fiscally responsible, considering he might not even play.

the draft sheet has tabs btw, you can see your cap, categories you have/need, etc.

I will be going camping for 5-6 days starting tomorrow so if I don't pick it is not because I quit

Just an FYI I am not sure if I will have internet there

It was about time for you to stop picking this draft anyway

Mikko Rantanen - Sebastian Aho - William Nylander
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - Max Domi - Alex Debrincat
Alexis Lafreniere - Blake Lizotte - xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Mike Matheson - Brandon Montour
Ivan Provorov - Jonas Brodin
Mark Giordano - xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Connor Hellebuyck
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx​

Nylander has played quite a bit of LW in the past opposite Mikheyev/Kase/Kapanen (all RWers) when they were on the team. Swap him and Rantanen for my sanity plz.

@Joey Moss if you’re the last one in a category, can we make that pick whenever?

Avery and I are the last ones for the USHL category so if he picks him with his next couple picks, can I pick mine?

If you're the last one in a category then yes, but Avery could leave that USHL pick as his last one still.

Alright boys it’s Joever

[Panda Bear]

mozes putting Rantanen at left wing on his roster makes me question if he's even watched hockey before

I love the idea that 55 goal 105 point, sixth in Hart voting, Cup Champion, Mikko Rantanen… playing alongside Sebastian Aho and William Nylander… just wouldn’t be able to play LW

I guess Mikko would be lost and the whole line just wouldn’t work

Good insight, gang

This was really fun concept and I had a blast. It was a struggle to try to fit under the cap. I would love to play in game like this again soon.

Thanks to all who ran it!

@Blinny @ujju2 @ConnorMcMullet @Joey Moss

I started making new categories, so maybe we can get another one before the NHL seasons starts.

Tanner Jeannot. We feel like he can turn it around

Jeannot that late is pretty solid. Hagek didnt produce much in his first 20ish games with Tampa. I doubt Jeannot goes 60+ pts, but should be a decent mid sixer

 

[Scholarships]

Enjoyed this draft. Good work Joey

I was in it until I didn’t check math and took Nicolas Roy

(Panda moment)

 

[abo9]

Thanks Joey for organizing this draft! It was a blast.

I really enjoyed the more strategic aspect of this one.

One of my favorite moment was realizing I took 2 solid RDs and that my remaining categories were heavy on the LD. Definitely had to switch gears and get creative.

 

[hockeynorth]

Most enjoyable/thought required draft in a while!

Thanks for running this game, must have been a lot of work. I really enjoyed it. Cap made it pretty hard to navigate through my picks but the rules were the same for everyone and teams managed it pretty well seeing how few teams busted in the end.

Great work, will certainly join if i have time around the next one.

Yeah, the past commishs sucked

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Would definitely do something like this again, thanks for running this @Joey Moss
