Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Looks like I'm playing with the big boys now. I'm pretty sure I've taken trade offer advice from each of you at some point lol. There are some seriously stacked teams (I'm looking at you Dave) so it's going to be a serious challenge putting together a championship squad but I'm looking forward to doing so and taking you all down

IF you feel you can improve on my keepers with one of your guys, let me know and we can try and swing a deal before I lock my keepers in. Don't message me on Yahoo because I cant access that right now at sea. Either send me a PM here or an email. [email protected] Keep in mind my team is still considered a rebuild so I am not looking for older skaters. I am looking for quality youth if possible.

Breaking the suspense: First pick 2021 draft, Semyon Varlamov.

What's everyone's thoughts on the draft?
Couple of things for me personally was I messed up on the MAF pick early. There was that 2nd group of goalies that stuck around for a while. Toews was much more wanted than I had thought. Centers seemed to dry up quicker than I thought. This group is on top of things, I would have like 5 guys queued and they'd be gone by my next pick.
First real draft in this league as last yr was a write off, so it was interesting how the goalie run went as 4 went in the first round, but then 4 went in the next 2 rounds, then in round 4 5 goalies went. 13 goalies in 4 rounds, but very oddly spread and clumped together.

Yeah... looking around the team's drafts... I don't think anybody aced their draft.
Every team has a pick where I was like "Oh, nice pick there" as well as a "Oh, way too early on that guy".
Goalies are definitely all-over-the-place this year.
I think it'll be one of those seasons where some of the first drafted goalies were outperformed by some late-drafted goalies.
League should be very competitive btw Team2-Team10 this year.
Early Goalies - I was glad to see goalies go early and often in the first round. Especially at #1 overall. With goalies going in the first I was able to draft some of the skaters near the top of my list. I had Strome and Boeser as my top 2 guys knowing I picked second and needed a RW. So with a goalie going first I got to pick the one who gets FOW from the wing.
Toews - He went 66 overall in the RHRS draft so I figured lots of people were high on him having a big bounceback. With having 3 of 4 picks here. I figured I would get the 1000 FOW from Toews come back with some more wingers with my next two picks.
Later Goalies - I was surprised that Khudobin was still hanging around in the 22nd round. Dallas has a tonne of goalies... but I figured he was worth a shot. I also like the potential of Gibson in the 20th round. Even if Anaheim sucks again... he should get lots of games and Anaheim probably has that sexy off night schedule as usual.
I didn't expect Vanacek to go that early. Was looking at the handcuff but it wasn't meant to be. I was fairly happy with my draft all things considered. I should have grabbed a few more hits but I'll be OK. I grabbed a lot of meat and potatoe guys who do lots well but don't excel at anything like Nelson, Kreider, BColeman off the top of my head.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I was hoping a forward like Hertl, Forsberg, or Bennett would drop to me at 20, and one did. Wanted Gio with the next pick, and then focusing on Fs for the rest of the draft.
Have found that when I don't have a lot of early picks and I grab a goalie with one of them, my skaters aren't good enough. Can more easily try and patch together goalies.
Thought about Francouz and Khudobin late, but only ended up grabbing my VGK tandem with Brossoit.
Missed on a few guys I liked like Oshie, Rossi, Dobson, etc, but overall pretty happy with my guys for how weird the app was being. Haven't really looked at my positional or statistical balance yet, so I may need to shuffle some things, but the base looks good. Wheat Kings are gunning to be back in the finals!
