I went very NA heavy, so maybe that will help me for the differential when all your Euro gems go undrafted (and then become prized UDFA in 4 years) . Apart from Schneider, I'm not sure how I did as no one was angry at my other picks

I am satisfied with my draft. I hadn't done one in many years but I think this one had the best picks past the 1st round. I did my homework this time around, no scouting but classified most players by SOGs and did some digging when I came across names that piqued my interest. Not the most scientific method but I am happy with the results (even if @WeThreeKings shat on the guy I picked first in the other thread )
Just 1 prospect left on my list Jacob Murray from Kingstons Frontenac, gotta look at some guys you drafted. How do you guys check out USHL prospects, I can't find @!#& online. CHL and Euros I can find games to listen to (youtube/facebook/TV), highlights, shift by shift, reports,... But for USHL it's superhard. I remember when we drafted Harris the only thing I could find was an EliteProspect page and a quote saying he was a good skater....
And ... we're done. Thanks to everyone for participating!
Some stats:
We started March 16th and ended April 12th. We made 217 picks over 28 days for an average of 8 picks per day! That's fantastic guys. 7th round slowed to a crawl at times, but, eh, it's Easter Weekend.
Here's where we drafted from, the top 10:
1. OHL: 42 picks
2. WHL: 37 picks
3. QMJHL: 25 picks
4. Sweden: 24 picks
5. USHL: 21 picks
6. Russia: 17 picks
7. Finland: 14 picks
8. USNTDP: 12 picks
9. USHS: 10 picks
10. Germany: 4 picks
OTHER
NCAA & AJHL: 3 picks each
Czech: 2 picks
Slovakia, Swiss League & BCHL: 1 pick each
The CHL dominated this one.
If the draft ever happens, come back here and see who got drafted and who didn't. Who got picked way too early and who was fantastic value (2nd rounder gotten in 4th round).
Stay healthy!
Gotta thank you man for doing this. Awesome job ! And sorry for both autopicks, had a lot going and forgot to check.
