With a lot of uncertainties and complaints, we've decided to start this draft all over. Though we'll keep the basic idea intact (3 protected players, the entire fanbase having a hand in who they want to pick, etc.. ) The protected player list also remains like it is, so we've just come up with a new order and a whole new set of rules, later to be reveiled..

The Draft will start within the next few days, maybe as soon as tomorrow when the rules and the set up will be clear to all of us. The order was determined in an old fashioned way, have every team written down on a piece of paper, put them in a hat and randomly pick one till we've had them all. This way we all have our fair chances at a top pick, and for those who miss out, don't worry as it will be a snake draft. And most of all, if you pick last in this draft, you'll pick first in the prospect draft (all unsiged prospects of drafts up untill 2004).

Anyway, we'll get into further details later on, first is the order, which has been decided as followed;

01) Philadelphia Flyers
02) Buffalo Sabres
03) Pittsburgh Pinquins
04) Edmonton Oilers
05) Chicago Blackhawks
06) Nashville Predators
07) Florida Panthers
08) Carolina Hurricanes
09) Atlanta Thrashers
10) Ottawa Senators
11) Dallas Stars
12) Detroit Red Wings
13) Calgary Flames
14) New York Islanders
15) Phoenix Coyotes
16) Vancouver Canucks
17) Anaheim Mighty Ducks
18) Colorado Avalanche
19) Montreal Canadiens
20) Boston Bruins
21) Minnesota Wild
22) New York Rangers
23) St.Louis Blues
24) New Jersey Devils
25) Washington Capitals
26) Columbus Blue Jackets
27) San Jose Sharks
28) Tampa Bay Lightning
29) Los Angeles Kings
30) Toronto Maple Leafs

The FHL sim that is being created will endorse this draft instead, if it actually gets going, unlike the last one!

I do have one huge complaint though... the order is not fair!! The canucks draft in the middle every round - even in a snake draft!! and the prospects draft that's supposed to balance things out - well we select in the middle in that too!!

This thing must be designed to screw our team then, right???

/sarcasm :p:

anyways, all kidding aside... if anyone wants to know any specific rules prior to any selection, let us know... we'll discuss it then. at least until the site is finished and the rules are up - which should be another 1-2 wks away.

Let The Leafs have Sidney " Pheonomenot" Crosby!

we're setting up our own SIM league, rather than doing on a season with another... this way we'll be able to do several seasons, and have more flexibility in controlling it.

Jesus, I can't believe Leafs fans are still complaining.

Look at it like this: You get Ovechkin, and 2 picks out of the top 31 picks.

It is nothing short of IRRITATING to still see people complain, especially when many would consider they have the best freakin' position in the whole draft! ARRGGH :banghead:

I realize you're just kidding, but I thought I'd point out that the middle of the draft isn't so bad. For example, after the Flyers pick first, they have to wait nearly sixty picks for their next turn. Whereas the Canucks will never have to wait more than thirty.

yup... I know... try explaining that to the Kings ;)

the difference will be that instead of getting a higher end guy (like we drafted Fedorov in the last draft), we should be able to get more balance with a middle pick... and considering our top end ain't too bad with Naslund and Bertuzzi... this isn't so bad.

But I can see a bunch of other problems coming up with these rules... for example, Washington and Pittsburg should be given the option to use one of their protection slots for Ovechkin and Malkin instead of someone else they protected. They didn't know that there would be a propects draft after, so assumed that Ovechkin would be protected.

I think in the end we will need to come up with new rules yet again.

But the best thing might just be to wait. Once the site is ready, we can start a new post, with new rules, and a new draft. That way every team knows what the rules are, and how the SIM will work.

Then we can start a draft.

I think in the long run - even though this will take more time - it will work out better for everyone.

I will let you guys all know when we're ready with the site.
