2020-21 World Junior Championships Draft

[BoldNewLettuce]

Fun fact....I used to add points for players who won mvp awards or gold etc.

If we are making it more tantalizing.

 

[Cerebral]

I tend to be of the mindset that if it's not broken, there's no need to fix it. With 8 teams, we're already stretched pretty thin by the end and while Team Leftovers always finds a gem or two, it's already tough enough finding that 3rd defenceman or 5th forward, let alone doing that with potentially 18 other players selected as well.

What's the benefit of adding more teams? If there's enough interest, I would just pitch people create a 2nd pool.

I'll take Team Canada defenseman Justin Barron.

@lakai17 you're up!

I fully agree and it's that much more difficult to win a this pool. 8 teams + leftovers has been decent. Tradition.

Some years they have another pool going on in hf oil I've noticed.

I select Russian defenceman Artemi Kniazev

@The Head Crusher your pick

 

[The Head Crusher]

I am torn between 2 players right now, I guess I will go with Henry Thrun D USA.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Sounds good! It looks like we should be done drafting well ahead of time (knock on wood!) so you should have lots of time to post your roster.

Also allows any last minute changes

 

[Cerebral]

I will continue my run of Canadians and take defenceman Kaiden Guhle. @McGhostbuster is up with his last two picks!

 

[McGhostbuster]

With picks 64 and 65 in record time fashion:

F - Bobby Brink (USA)
D -Daniil Chayka (RUS)

@Cerebral back to you.

Is there going to be another thread for scoring?

[Cerebral]

I'll take Swedish forward Simon Holmstrom with my final pick. @The Head Crusher is up with his last pick!

 

[Paralyzer008]

Damn.

I believe I am the only one left who needs a forward but feels like I am picking from the scrap heap.

 

[Cerebral]

Damn.

I believe I am the only one left who needs a forward but feels like I am picking from the scrap heap.

It's tough this year just because there is so little info out there about line combos. Holmstrom has the draft pedigree and I like that he's been playing in men's leagues but I have no clue if he'll slot in on Sweden's 2nd line/powerplay or play further down the lineup!

On one hand, Holmstrom doing absolutely zero in the Allsvenskan is a bad sign.

On the other, Sweden's depth is poor enough that he's probably line 2 anyways, so I was targeting him.

 

[lakai17]

Damn.

So many sleeper picks on forward it could make you cry.

 

[The Head Crusher]

I am going to gamble on this one, since I am lucky to get a point form my 9th round pick I stand much to gain and little to lose. I select Simon Kubicek D Czechia.

 

[The Head Crusher]

@lakai17 is up.

 

[The Head Crusher]

Damn.

There are 2 left that really interest me that are left on the board that could still put up points for you or JTS.

You should just tell me since your 5 forwards were all high on my list

Well I see all these people throwing their score tables in this thread. Just double checking...

We do that to keep a running tab on out picks....or maybe that is just me.

Ah...I have 3 screens usually open. 1 with our overall draft, 1 with my picks and 1 with research. I screwed up the other night cause I was trying to do it on my laptop.

I have spread sheets dedicated to the draft. Players average draft position through multiple other online drafts, even our own stats pages with our all time teams, points per round average, and top picks per round........I got bored waiting for my picks lol.
