Atd#8 MINOR LEAGUE DRAFT

Draft is done!

The draft will last 24 rounds. You must draft 2 goalies, 6 defensemen, 12 forwards and a coach, with 3 additional picks to be used for whatever position(s) you want.

Trading is allowed. Trades must be equal in numbers, 2 picks for 2 picks, 1 player and a pick for 2 picks, and so on. Really lopsided trades can be vetoed. Rounds 15/16 through 23/24 will be double picks per round.

The time limit is 4 hours. If you miss a time window don't panic, just make up the pick ASAP. You can PM your preferred pick to me beforehand and be assured I won't ever be drafting your top pick for whatever round because my pre-draft prospect list is so darn long I can do without (even if with a grimace). Newly added procedure: If the HfBoards goes down then email your pick (or shortlist) to [email protected] and the picks will be sorted out afterwards.

Suggestion: POST A REASON OR STATISTIC OR DESCRIPTION WITH YOUR PICK to aid discussion and let us know a bit about the pick, as many may not be household names, especially from other eras.

You must PM the next GM after your selection. And please post a notice to that effect on the draft thread to ensure a smooth flow to the draft.

Any player from any league or era are eligible as long as they were not drafted in the ATD#8 click here and use control-f to check. As soon as a pick is posted, the next team's clock will begin even if an ineligible player is chosen: the pick will simply be made up as soon as possible.

Player selection should be based on what they have done (the 'next best' draft, so to speak, the greatest all-time careers not honored by being picked in the main atd#8 draft), and not what they will do in the future, though it's understood that as a minor league team there is a bit of projection involved, especially with players whose careers were cut short by injury.

Absolutely no dropping of players: once drafted they are drafted, but players could be traded if team needs change. At the end of the draft a team could pick up an undrafted UFA and simply discard a draft pick.

The number of teams that make the playoffs will depend on the number that qualify for the postseason. To qualify, a team must meet this all-time draft roster condition: Have on the team at least ONE player from each of the following time periods:

1939 or earlier
1940-1965
1966-1979
1980-1989
1990-1999
in 2008 (ANY active/nonretired player with 200-plus games pro experience regardless of when he began his career)

The very first game ever played in a top pro league defines which time period for the required condition (so, an eighties player whose NHL or SEL rookie season started in 1979 would meet the 1966-79 time period requirement).

On another front, there will be an all-star team of 1LW, 1RW, 1C, 2D, 1G voted on after the regular season.

POST A REASON OR STATISTIC OR DESCRIPTION WITH YOUR PICK to aid discussion and let us know a bit about the pick, as many may not be household names, especially from other eras.
Nothing quite like being in the same time-zone as VI and getting first crack at commenting. I like this idea a lot. If you've done some research, you'll probably have at least one player whom a lot of folks haven't heard of. Don't make me look your player up ... if it's someone who hasn't been active in the last decade or two, post a paragraph about who he is and why he's the key to your team's victory.
Player selection should be based on what they have done (the 'next best' draft, so to speak, the greatest all-time careers not honored by being picked in the main atd#8 draft), and not what they will do in the future, though it's understood that as a minor league team there is a bit of projection involved, especially with players whose careers were cut short by injury.
Never quite understood this phrase, but I've always taken it to mean that players with careers cut short by injury get a few bonus points and that players LONG ago who quit "early" because of cultural / family reasons would get a few bonus points too, but that currently active players don't get credit for what they're going to do in the next five years. Yes?
2000 or later (note: nonretired/active players must have at least a minimum of 200 professional hockey league games played: Don't Toews us bro!)
I like this, and I'd caution new folks to stay away from ANYONE who hasn't at least reached the "prime" of his career. We're getting pretty deep in the talent pool, so I'll remind everyone to avoid mentioning ANY undrafted player by name.

Good work, VI.

Best of luck to everyone involved ... suggest that as long as folks are logged on, we might do what we did with ATD8 and just start picking now, but not run the clock for another week.

Absolutely!

Good idea.

Sure. But that's up to Evil Speaker. ;)

(though spending your free time the next day or two to send BM67 your VOTE on the main draft championship finals series is a better idea)

... hope that wasn't directed to me ... I sent mine in a couple days ago.
Great, only 13 of us have voted so far (according to bm67).

All those who have yet to vote, do so asap by pm'ing the winner of the Milt Dunnell Championship Final series to BM67.

Last minor league draft, Murphy and I had the first pick. This draft, raleh and I pick last. Call me crazy, but I like this draft position a lot more. Last draft, it was picking the best of a good lot. Joe Watson was a find (thank Murph for that one), but he didn't stand out over anyone else. I'm sure the guys we want will still be available at 14 and 15.

A reminder to all GMs to PM your picks if you aren't going to be able to make a selection. Especially those at the beginning or the end of a round. The ability to complete the draft in a timely fashion rests squarely on those who start and anchor each round.

A suggestion: put more of an emphasis on the early years. There's requisites for six time periods. Four of them are post-expansion. I think the beauty of the minor league draft is finding the really good, but overlooked players from before expansion. Anyone can name lots of guys who played post-expansion. But finding the defensive stalward who played in the 1950s and 60s, before the Selke, is the true mark of someone who deserves support. That's one of the reasons why I thought pappy had the best team in the last minor league draft.

Finding a worthy player with 200-plus games pro experience who started in 2000 is going to be hard, too.

If anything, there should be a requisite for a player who played pre-1927 (when the west coast leagues were every bit as good as the NHA/NHL), 1927-1945, 1945-1967, 1967-1979, and then 1979-present.

If we're going to keep the top-heavy post-expansion format, then allow GMs to qualify which era their player fits in. A guy who starts in 1991, but is still active, should be able to qualify as a 2000-era guy.

Good luck to all GMs, and a big welcome to the newbies.

Choose a third liner from the original Six era or a team's top scorer from the postexpansion era? One team can have its 18 skaters and starting netminder from pre-expansion eras and meet time period requirements by bench and backup players. Another team can be more modern era with marginal positions filled by pre-modern players. And hopefully many teams will be balanced not biased, reflect the best of all time, from 32-team, 28-team, 12-team and 6-team NHL as well from other leagues in North America and in Europe. Every team should have at least one European player who never played in North America, but it isn't a requirement. perhaps it should be? Overall: Let's hope we get more balanced, less slanted toward any era, rosters this time out.

Finding a worthy player with 200-plus games pro experience who started in 2000 is going to be hard, too.
The window does seem pretty narrow, so... let's make it:

ANY active/nonretired player with 200-plus games pro experience regardless of when he began his career.

That last idea is even worse. It punishes players who played at a really high level in the game's early years, when teams played 20-45 games per season. It also punishes guys who kept their amateur status during the game's early years. I thought it was great that doctordark picked Scotty Davidson in the main draft. Under your eligibility, Davidson wouldn't be eligible.

If you don't include the playoffs in the 200-game criteria, then arguably the best defenceman available isn't eligible.

Reread his post. ACTIVE players must have 200 games played (so that bro doesn't try to Toews us). Unless there is evidence that Dickie Boon is planning on making a comeback (first to life, then to the NHL), then he's still eligible as a pre-Iron Age player. You can still pick those players, they just don't count towards the requirement to have a post-2000 player.

... Me and EB had the defensive stalwart of the late '20/ early '30 and got absolutely no love for it!

I am just short of disgusted to see a team made up entirely of old players, just as I am to see a team made up almost exclusively of eighties and nineties players.

This is an all-time draft.

The time requirements was to help make the draft more ALL time, and that means having ONE, one active/nonretired player as a minimum to reflect the contemporary era, just as a team must have at least ONE from the thirties or before. That leaves a lot of latitude inbetween. And since there are three extra picks for a grand total of 24 then meeting time requirements needed be a concern for the core of one's team.

Personally I'd like to see two or three players from every era be a requirement, but ONE certainly is doable, in fact is easy as pie over the course of a 24 round draft.

:biglaugh: Yeah, the minimum 200 career pro games requirement is only for the ONE active/nonretired player of the contemporary (2007-08) era. Don't Toews us bro'.

I got it now. Everything's cool. I overreated because I was worried that I might not get the guy I want.

But for clarification's sake, does 200 pro games mean 200 NHL games? Does AHL count? How about European pro leagues? And do playoff games count? You'll never see me pick Toews or Kane or Paul Stastny, at least not for another five or 10 years. But some guys might want to know.

200 professional hockey games for the one required ACTIVE/nonretired player. So that could be in ANY pro league. Playoff games count. International tourney, tours, exhibition, all-star, college and non-pro junior leagues of course don't count. I don't think we'll have to split many hairs here. PM me with a guy you are thinking of drafting if it's a borderline case and I'll let you know.

Is there an easy way of telling how many players from minor league draft #7 went in major league draft #8? I know at least 5 of my Minor league drfat picks from #7 went in the #8 main draft. Just curious.

48 MLD7 selections were taken in the main draft, as well as 13 guys never selected before.
Very interesting. 61 either from r the minor draft or new research. Whitby Dunlops had 6 of the 48. Oliver, Frank Patrick, Labine, Schwartz, Dan Maloney, Stanfield.

Does the 200 games rule was...
- At the start of the year?
- At the start of the draft?
- At the moment the player is drafted?

I can think of a few guys who could only fit the third category at a certain point of the draft.

And does the 200 games played concerns goaltenders as well? I can think of one worthy guy (who was drafted in ATD 7 for Christ sakes...) who did not play 200 games, whether they are NHL, pro, or even adjusted-to-82 games-a-year-NHL AND PRO. (the guy had a short career).

Heck, I think (and too lazy to watch now) that there are at least one AST goalie who did not reached the 200-games mark... And what is Pro...? I mean.... Cristobal Huet could be voided on the 200-games basis depending what is considered pro.

EDIT : Forget about the retired player, and my not-so-subtle comment about LL's 3rd stringer in ATD-7, and the one about a former Hawks netminder as well. But the comment remain for the goaltender as well. Not that I thought about selected Huet to begin with, but I still think he's a better pick than AT LEAST one guy we (me and EB) drafted in MLD 7.

The minimum 200 professional hockey games played is for the minimum one ACTIVE/nonretired player requirement and so as long as those games have been played at the moment they were picked, it's fine. it should have been a 250 or better 300 game rule if many teams want to flirt with guys with under three full seasons of experience!

Professional hockey is professional hockey. Not OHL or NCAA or junior Swedish teams. Yes, to ECHL, AHL, SEL, RSL, NHL, etc.

Again, if a g.m. thinks the career he wants to honour is anywhere near the minimum then just PM me for clarification. I promise I won't draft the guy.

I think you meant Bobby Schmautz, not Schwartz. And I would know this, because I picked Schmautz.

I think Murphy and I had four: Pat Flatley, Shane Doan, Tony McKegney and Joe Watson. We went top-heavy on defencemen and grinders early on. I don't think Doan is quite ATD worthy, and Flatley definitely isn't ATD worthy. We had a couple guys who I definitely think are worthy of the main draft, but weren't selected.

Oh...
Dunderdale is definitely ATD worthy (albeit risky), but he probably won't miss any ATD afterwards. Pappin is one as well, even if I don't think he should be in any top-9, unless it's the best setting for the team. (like LL this darft)
Holmgren can make a good enforcer/13th forwards for teams who likes this option. I probably would not draft him.

I did mean Schmautz who along with the other forwards are all Ok picks in the main draft as 4th liners. The defenseman Frank Patrick belongs for sure in a 28 team main draft & I am surprised he was not picked in #7.

Pit Martin, the second line centre and captain of the championship team of the last Minor League draft (Penticton Vees), has just won another championship as starting third line right wing. Hockey Outsider, in the g.m.s office for both picks, must be thinking of him as a bit of a good luck charm.

Camille Henry, the top left winger on the Vees, went to the milt dunnell final as the extra forward for the Clippers.

Which players drafted in the upcoming minor league will see quality action in the next main all-time draft? We shall see!
