ATD#8-ML: Demonstrate here that your team qualifies for the playoffs

[VanIslander]

Atd#8 MINOR LEAGUE DRAFT

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.

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).

Show that your team qualifies here (update as you go along if you wish)

QUALIFIES FOR THE PLAYOFFS:

Moose Jaw x2, Edina, Cincinnati, New York, Phoenix, Nelson, Renfrew, McGill, Dysart

90-99 : Datsyuk, or somebody else to be drafted
Later : See post above

Datsyuk was playing in the RSL in the late 90s, so I would say he should be in the 1990-99 category.

Well, a bit like khabibulin, actually. Dats fits both bills.

 

[VanIslander]

90-99 : Datsyuk, or somebody else to be drafted
Later : See post above

He started his pro career in the top Russian league in 1996-97.

So you can use him as a 1990-99 time requirement met OR ALTERNATIVELY as the "in 2008 ACTIVE/NONRETIRED" time requirement, but not for both.

..Hence why the "OR" somebody else

Oh... The NT is everything BUT a top-professionnal league. It might be top, but it's not professionnal...
