Draftwired (NHL) is now 'live'

[Kevin Musto]

Is draftwired gonna be available for the '19 draft?

No. The creator said he didn't make enough money to keep it running.

 

[CallMeShaft]

Is draftwired gonna be available for the '19 draft?

Nope. Too much work and too expensive to have the OP keep doing it.

It's a shame, but I understand why he'd call it quits.

 

[Visnovsky]

That is a shame, but very understandable. I enjoyed it very much last year, big thanks for the creator.

 

[IslesNorway]

had a blast with it last year. Hopefully someone can make a new version or something

Not actually half bad. Not as good as draftwired was, but it'll suffice.

Only problem I see is I get Peyton Krebs everytime at 23. I am not draft expert by any stretch but isn't he a guy who gets rated in the 6-15 area?

Yeah, some of the rankings are far off. The program itself isn't terrible (though is less impressive than draftwired was). If they could offer up different draft rankings, it'd instantly become better.

Ran a great draft for the Hawks:
-Kaapo Kakko
-Matthew Robertson
-Samuel Fagemo
-Ethan Keppen
-Ryan Siedem
-Keighan Gerrie
-Justin Bergeron

Kakko at #3 lol

Dammit, I kept having to settle for Byram and Knight with our first two picks...

 

[5cotland]

Drafted with the Rangers and would mark out hard if we got these players

 

[FlyguyOX]

Rankings so far off.

 

[Kupo]

Rankings so far off.

Rankings make no sense. Ruins the fun.

I just tried it with the Oilers.
The Top10 went like this:
1. NJD - Jack Hughes
2. NYR - Dylan Cozens
3. CHI - Thomas Harley
4. COL - Kaapo Kakko
5. LAK - Arthur Kaliyev
6. DET - Kirby Dach
7. BUF - Bowen Byram
8. EDM - Alex Turcotte
9. ANA - Trevor Zegras
10. VAN - Matthew Boldy

My picks for the Oilers were:
8. F - Alex Turcotte
38. D - Moritz Seider
85. F - Alex Beaucage
100. F - Matias Maccelli
162. D - Ben Brinkman
193. G - Tobias Ancicka

I've used Fanspeak, for mock NFL drafts, and they provide different draft rankings from multiple places. So while there is just the one Fanspeak draft ranking they most likely will add more to chose from.

 

[IslesNorway]

Not as good as Draftwired but it's a start. Hopefully they can include some different rankings and allow for trades, as was possible on draftwired.

 

[ElLeetch]

Hughes
Kakko
Kaliyev
Harley
Dach
My pick: close tab

Yikes.

As the Rangers, i was able to get Kaako #2, Podkolzin #20, and Seider #49.

I passed on Knight to take Seider.

Sure, i guess i will take that.

 

[Kearns]

For my Canucks. Did it three times. Always got to choose between Spencer and Lavoie at 40 .Always got Bjornfot at 71. Would be a huge win if it shakes out like that. Fun to run through it.


10: R1P10 LW MATTHEW BOLDY - U.S. U-18
40: R2P9 C RAPHAEL LAVOIE - HALIFAX
71: R3P9D TOBIAS BJORNFOT - DJIRGARDENS
102: R4P9 C MATVEY GUSKOV - LONDON
133: R5P9 D ANTTI TUOMISTO ASSAT
156: R6P1 G COLTEN ELLIS -RIMOUSKI
164: R6P9 RW HENRIK RYPINSKI - SEATTLE
180: R6P25 - C - BLAKE MURRAY - SUDBURY
195: R7P9 - G JONATHAN LEMIEUX -VAL-D'OR

 

[ottawa]

First run, picked Turcotte 15th overall... yeah...

My draft had Turcotte go 9th...picked Broberg at 15th.

lol

 

[Maverick41]

lol

My thoughts exactly.
But the tool has potential. With some tweaks and more (better) rankings it could turn into something.

If I survived the heart attack I would surely have if the Rangers went to the podium and said anything other than Hughes or Kakko, the draft show coverage would be amazing as the Blackhawks let Kakko slide to 4.

Wow, I feel bad for you guys that love to mock draft. Obviously I'm biased but this app sucks.
I've had so many personal issues to deal with this year (health wise and financially) I just couldn't do it.
If someone wants to: gather a list of users that pledge that they would support draftwired for 2020 and I see at least 100 people then I will make a comeback next year. A pledge of support means that you would purchase a 8 -10 dollar subscription in May 2020
