2017 Entry Draft

[SharksGM]

Players.ehm only: http://www.ehechockey.com/files/players.ehm

The 2017 EHEC draftees are ready, thanks also to Julien and Martin for the help. Come and get 'em. By my count, there are 179 eligible players, including a few handfuls of leftovers from last year. The draft will begin Soon (TM) so have a look while they're fresh. Remember, it's 5 rounds only.

As a bonus, you get players.ehm in a convenient spreadsheet for ranking draftees (which is how we rated them in the first place):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... ndiz8JSun8

The columns are all in the same order as players.ehm, with ratings, biographical info, names, ceilings and various miscellany last. Rows CO:DF have rough estimates of their final ratings taking into account pot, con, ceilings and height (but not position). I protected the sheet so if you want to change anything try duplicating it first.

Lastly, if anyone is reconsidering any pending trades that we haven't ruled on yet due to the recent announcements, now is the time to mention it. Otherwise, we'll be ruling on them before starting the draft.

Shawn Boudrias has the wrong birth date.
Victor Ejdsell and Calle Rosen probably shouldn't be in the draft based on their age though I don't know that it really matters.

[Calgary.Flames]

I have 187 players when looking through GMO-view draft prospect.

[Bernyhawks]

When will the draft start?

[SharksGM]

Shawn Boudrias has the wrong birth date.

Hmm, Pat must have entered that so I never noticed. I'll replace him with another college/free agent after the draft because he looks terrible IRL.

Victor Ejdsell and Calle Rosen probably shouldn't be in the draft based on their age though I don't know that it really matters.

They'll be UFAs and I'll add more Euro/college free agents after the draft.

Also, don't get too excited about the few defensemen with forward alternate positions - they weren't meant to be there and will be removed.

[SharksGM]

When will the draft start?

Soon (TM), meaning next weekend at the earliest. It would be nice to find a new GM for Florida at least what with having a top 5 pick.

[Jets GM]

Is this your way of telling me to get off my ass?

I just posted at HockeyVirtuel (they don't like me because I'm not french, even though my last name is) and GMGames.org.

Someone already beat me to it at HFBoards.

I can translate to french whatever you want to tell those guys so that you could be seen as one of them.
Infiltrate their ranks, JC. Do it.

[JacketsGM (Jer)]

Is there a master list of all draft picks out there? I have no idea what kind of inventory the previous GM had for this year or next.

2018-END OF TIMES
All your picks, your picks only.

[JacketsGM (Jer)]

Thx so much!

[Calgary.Flames]

Two things...

1- Teams who have one of their picks timed out will be auto'ed (no goalies) the rest of the way unless told otherwise by the GM.

2- Unlike past seasons, our final list has been made public and that's the order we'll be at when auto-picking for teams. You guys won't need us to be around if a pick has timed out, you'll be able to make the auto selection following the list and keep things running.

[Bruins_GM]

I'd like to start after next weekend, if at all possible.

[Edmonton Mike]

Thought I'd re-post this here to make it easier. Someone should double-check, if not already done.

No EHM, what are the numbers for height on the google spreadsheet?

[Calgary.Flames]

6'2'' is 9.
6'0'' is 7.

[Bernyhawks]

Owen Tippett is 6'00 on Hockey DB. He is at 9.

[MartyFromOTTAWA]

Owen Tippett is 6'00 on Hockey DB. He is at 9.

Yeah but he has red hair, so It's fine.

Makes sense. Gotta compensate the poor kid!

[Calgary.Flames]

A couple websites we use to create the players had him at 6'2".

I used combine weights/heights and may have rounded up an inch for a few prospects to make them slightly more interesting.

[Calgary.Flames]

I will gladly correct any mistakes you guys will point out.

[SharksGM]

I posted it on the draft forum. Everything looked ok except I swapped NJ & EDM picks in rounds 2-5 (EDM finished with 31 ROW vs 30 for NJ so NJ "wins" the tiebreaker).

[Calgary.Flames]

Yeah, I didn't know who got the tiebreak...
