2020-21 World Junior Championships Draft

[The Head Crusher]

I think we should not be allowed to drop players unless they are injured. Once they are drafted they are yours.

 

[The Head Crusher]

If the US could get their PP working I could be deadly for me. York, Boldy, Zegras all on the 1st PP unit.

I thought we couldn't. Thought we could only drop if injured

I'm honestly not sure what we've done in the past. I know there was one year where I wanted to drop a player but I can't remember if we decided it was allowed or not.

Any other thoughts on the issue? This year of all years, it might make sense to finalize rosters just because we've had so much limited info and with a rush of info coming from these exhibition games, it could turn into a race to snag some surprise players.

 

[Soli]

I'd like to change a pick or two.

So fun thing is I looked and this exact question got asked last year - by you

You wanted to dump Pinto (good thing you didn't do that) but after Lundell's injury, you never made a move end of the day that was non-injury related.

Last year I did the research and in the last six years, we did 1 post-draft roster change that was not health related, which was Cerebral dumping Jordan Greenway for Aapeli Rasanen, pre-Team Leftovers.

Sounds like it's in your guys best interest to let me tinker myself into ruin then!

I can't imagine atleast on of us in the Canadian goaltender trio isn't going to want to pivot.

that’s the risk of a draft. If we were going to allow replacements picks that were not cut/injured we would need a waiver wire system, which would be a little to complex to establish this late. It could also cause issues of collision where a couple teams could work together to make 1 super team.

We have all had times where we have drafted duds. I had 1 year where 3 of my players were suspended others where picks didn’t crack the lineup and players that were supposed to be the starters lose their jobs during the pre tournament games. In all of these cases the opportunity to change players were denied. That’s just they way it goes.

If he doesn’t get you 7 points I’ll be disappointed.

Yeah, I don't really know what a good answer is to this problem. I knew I at least asked to make a switch years ago, but I couldn't remember if it went through or not.

The issue comes down to what Head Crusher mentioned about requiring a waiver system. As an example, after the Canada game today we might get more info as to who will be the official starter. If that's the case, which of the three teams who has a Canadian goaltender gets priority in terms of making a switch? Is it first come first serve?

I had the idea in my head of doing a final "round" following the snake draft order, where each team can make a replacement pick or choose to pass. While that would be at least equal for everyone, the challenge is that it adds another round to the draft and in a "normal" year where we're getting down to the wire to finish the draft, it would potentially push us over. Likewise, a lot of people will want to wait until the very last second to make a potential switch as they're waiting for news on players.

My vote for this year is to not allow switches, and that we should revisit after the tournament to come up with a hard and fast rule for next year.

I think his is the best course of action, go with what we have done for years for this year and revisit it after the tournament.

Thought this was for funsies guys...

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

The only solution is a draft within a draft.

We all do a secret draft of a player we think Soli will take and the winner has the option of denying Soli that player.

I mean.....if it wasnt obvious.

NO! We are going full Arizona Coyotes tampering on you! Your first to third round pick for next year belongs to team leftovers.

I like it!

I'm not against having a "replacement player" rule in place at the end of the draft, but we'd need to have something that's fair and low maintenance in order to make it work. I also don't mind the idea of just having a blanket no replacements outside of injury/illness, and thus putting the more of an emphasis on the actual draft.

 

[bone]

They can't because there was no division 2 tournament so nobody is moving up.

Well they could, but there isn't a lot of point to it and it would probably be bad hockey. However, with the bubble getting rid of those couple games might help with scheduling or ice conditions.

 

[Cerebral]

@McGhostbuster You’re going to want a replacement for Dach as he is officially out of the tournament.

The games start on Christmas Day this year so I suspect we'll want to start drafting in three or four days in order to ensure we finish on time.
