2008 Draft List

[Brock]

There was just another trade that came through, Brock. Updated the trade log and sim files probably just as you were making the latest update.

If it's the SJ and COL trade, I got it and included it in the update.

Thats the one!

Is it just me, or does it seem that the players in this draft are considerably smaller than in previous years. Lotta sub 6'0'' guys.

Yeah... not just sub 6'0" guys... a lot of sub 5'10" guys even.

make me wonder if this will be a trend or just a one year thing.

I think it may in part be a shift in the ranking priorities. Evidence suggests smaller guys can be successful in the "new" NHL, so skilled players that might not previously have been highly ranked (or ranked at all) due to size concerns are finding themselves higher up on the list.

 

[Ohio Jones]

I don't suppose anyone's prepared a list of those players on the CSB that have already been drafted inthe HFNHL (aside from the obvious one, Tikhonov...)?

To name a couple more.

Kris Berglund

Yeah, Berglund's looking like a good pick up. Doyle actually isn't on the CSB this year, but I know I've seen his name in some draft previews.

I'll try to come up with a full list sometime today.

Kris Berglund
Eric Doyle

Although Brent Regner hasn't been listed in CSB I don't think, he's been listed as a sleeper in other places after going undrafted last year.

For some reason I picked him after he scored 6 points with the Vancouver Giants. But, after he jumped to 47, looks like a half decent pick afterall.

 

[Brock]

Ok here's the list. Hope I didn't miss anyone

Domestic Skaters
105 - Jack Downing
204 - Drew Leblanc

International Skaters
7 - Viktor Tikhonov
14 - Kris Berglund
23 - Jori Lehtera
88 - Martin Ylven
112 - Oscar Eklund

International Goalies
5 - Sergei Bobrvosky

Thanks Brock. I just logged on to see if there was a thread on already drafted players and lookie what I found.

Here's hoping Ylven is drafted this year

 

[MatthewFlames]

Flames Drafted CSB listed International Skater #38 Sebastian Erixon last year.

Damn, well can't get em all I guess. If I missed anymore, please post in this thread.

 

[HFNHL Canadiens]

Stamkos has been picked already, so I guess everyone should remove him from their lists.
