Draftwired (NHL) is now 'live'

[MasksAreForSlaves]

I guess there no major gripes about the site this year. last year admittedly, my initial rankings were pretty bad. I was working non stop on the app itself. This year I think I covered the bases and just in case I facilitate users making their own rankings. I hope some of you that like the app share your thoughts in your fav team's forums.

 

[MasksAreForSlaves]

Anyway a user can copy rankings as plain text?

Sorry about that, but no. You should be able to do that at eliteprospects though

This thread should be stickied! I have learned more about this draft through playing with this tool than I have from any other source!

FYI
Not seeing many folks using the alternate rankings (like futureconsiderations etc). you get some significant variance in your mocks when you do.

Kravtsov:
getting a lot of feedback that indicates he should be ranked higher than 35 on the draftwired board. As I indicated earlier, the drftwired rankings are a composite (or a averaging if you will) from the other services. However, as I see it he deserves to move up. I'm not going to do much of this but I think I will flip him with McBain who is at 28

any objections?

 

[MasksAreForSlaves]

KRAVTSOV 35 TO 25
MCBAIN 28 TO 35
MERKLEY 20 TO 36
KAUT 25 TO 20
bOKK 36 TO 28

 

[MasksAreForSlaves]

does anyone know when Craig Button and McKenzie annouce their final rankings?

 

[MasksAreForSlaves]

I feel that Kotkaniemi will be moving up the draftwired ranking as soon as BM and CB get their rankings'updated

Appreciate your input. As you know just about everyone has their own ideas about what the pecking order should be. I promised myself that this year the draftwired ranking will strictly be a composite (derived from the 8 major scouting services). I have a program that auto generates it's rankings. However, I have started tweaking somewaht based on my own obsevations and I also value the opinion of folks like yourself.

You can expect a few more tweaks as we move closer. You all should also remember that YOU (the fan) can also generate your own top (XXX) rankings as well. Using a utility program within the app. It's super easy to use and I even have a youtube video in case you need more help understanding how to use it.

Just found an updated Craig Button ranking from late march. Top 90. Updated site. Subsequently regen'dthe draftwired rankings. Kotkaniemi now up to 14. I expect he'll crack the top 10 by June 1st.

I will be updating theDraftAnalyst's Top 500 on Mon the 21st. Thanks to Steve K. that will have a impact on the draftwired composite board. I hope enough of you think highly enough of the app to support it by becoming a member. Please join soon if you already have not. Your support will insure that draftwired is here for the long haul and will continue to get better

Yahweh Bless

any way you could update the draft order for the Hurricanes? They do not have a 3rd round pick anymore as it has been traded to Arizona and they received their 4th rounder. Thanks!

cannot go wrong with Svechnikov, I'm in the minority but I think he's on the same elite level as Dahlin

I think so too. Especially after watching his highlights, comparing them with previous OHL players and current NHL'ers in the league. He is going to be an elite talent and a number one in any other year.

Thanks to the User who added his rankings "prospect fanatic software"
a really interesting list

Bulat Shafigulin, I keep hearing good stuff about this guy
