I will randomly select these later tonight.

Here's where you're screwed, Pat. Since your Rangers picked the entire fifth round of the draft, chances are one of those bums is going to get picked at random instead of an actual asset. Bwa ha ha.

You know he'll get the +2 CON to every draftee. That way, it's, what, 34 CON points?

No, I'm going to get the bonus to a 2012 goalie draftee....since the only thing I didn't take was a goalie.

But you get an extra underager out of it, so that's not all bad.

I bet Phoenix wins the extra inch of height, and it goes to Philip Tot. Or Trevor Carrick.

On the other hand, if it goes to Denis Vanin, and then he boosts...

You guys can always take bets on it while I work on the two things I have to finish before I draw the reward winners.

Carolina (6) - TBD

I was about to suggest that was the worst reward ever, but Dotchin actually might do alright with some extra points and it beats getting free ceiling points for a prospect whose develop doesn't involve ceilings or an extra inch of height that won't take him over any kind of threshold. What's the deal with the "free booster" Pittsburgh got?

I think it means the player won't cost more?

As for Severson....well it's okay. At least now he can skate.

Wow, BINK

I get a new prospect?

DallasSean wrote:What's the deal with the "free booster" Pittsburgh got?

He doesn't have to add the additional $250k to the booster's salary.

He still has to pay if the player boosts.

So, for example, if he drafts a 1M slot player that is a booster, he'd cost 1.25M base + additional money if he actually boosted. In this case, he only pays if he boosts.

CapsGM wrote:I get a new prospect?

Yes. We'll go over the restrictions shortly.

... well, it's nice to get ceiling points on the worst prospect I drafted, but at least Adam hosed himself most with his reward

Hey Parker -- you gonna make Igor Ulanov a staff member now?

Bub(NYR) wrote:Hey Parker -- you gonna make Igor Ulanov a staff member now?

Hahaha, I should. If not him, then Shawn Cronin.

Oh, hell yes. DI = 0

FI = ∞

Well, that blows.

I acquired Lukas Sutter from San Jose and he's a 2012 draftee, is my reward also applicable to him?

eh fuck journalism

not going to say no to an extra underager, shame about my goalie complacency.

That's the FBI at your door just now.

Knew my ceiling points would end up with my virtual doppelganger. AHL All-Star!

Busy weekend for those poor agents.

No. Only self-drafted players.



All of the rewards have been entered. I will post about prospect/player restrictions for TB and WSH shortly.

Hmm, I still gotta pick my staff member.

I love the sound of "Shawn Cronin, NHL head coach" too much to go with anyone else, even though the sensible answer would probably be Thomas Steen. Gotta with with Cronin though.

OK, sorry I forgot about this.

Working on restrictions now. Let me mull it over and respond to this thread tomorrow.

Justin, here are your restrictions for your prospect.

Total ceiling points available: 1000 (excluding FI) - there are 12 other ceilings
Max ceiling per attribute: 115, minimum ceiling per attribute: 60.
Player must be ex-NHLer (can recreate Lecavalier if you want)
Player will be 20 years old when entered into file and be 50 at every attribute, except penalty, which will be randomly generated between 50-99.
Will use real playing height and weight.
Will be 7POT. Second pot digit to be determined by random number generator 1-9.
Consistency will be set at 65.

Tim, shoot me a PM and we'll discuss how to handle the co-design of your new prospect.

How long do I have? School is whooping my ass and I don't wanna waste this.

edit: nvm going to do it right now

As long as you want, but I imagine it's something you'd want to get a start on.

FWIW, I reserve the right to add additional restrictions as I see fit.
