The Pittsburgh Penguins are very proud to select with their tenth round pick... from the Slovakian national team and AIK IF....
Dalibor Dvorský (no kipping allowed)
That's a big, fit lookin dude. He should be a great pick for you!

I don't know enough about Peeke to land one way or the other at his point; however, Peeke is young, on a fair contract, and I have heard decent things. If he truly is a solid stay at home RHD, probably a solid trade for the Canucks. Trade strength for weakness. Thoughts?

QH Cole/Peeke
Soucy Hronek
Cole/Peeke/Myers/other
I'm hoping they're after Adam Boqvist.
* It is a viable target, either Boqvist / Peeke. They need to make room for Jiricek. Then soon after Mateychuk & Ceulemans.
* Boqvist easily the more talented, some bad luck might be a buy low opportunity?
I mean peak is ok; sorta like another mid skill version of Soucy. A little slower, a little less slick with puck decisions. Part of that is he is young, 24.
He does have potential. Like Luke Schenn before learning how not to get torched as the NHL got faster, cracked down on obstruction.

Thing is....people were writing JT off before he signed his contract because he's too old and would decline into his 30's.
Yet they don't consider that same thing with 34 year old Sutter and still reference him as an iron man. Iron men supposedly slow down and are injury prone...or so I've been told here.
Wrong Forum...
(we shoulda traded, NVM...)
For whatever reason? Brandon lost any iron man status here.

gets covid likely from the team (don't want to point fingers), has long term health issues from it. Just brutal luck the moment he gets here.
Microcosm of many Covid issues.
- One guy gets sick because another is sloppy / selfish.
- From what we know now, most who had issues. Would have had issues when they got it (later) anyway?
- But if delayed enough there was more help. This probably did not effect Brandon specifically?
- Many died, and the right help had not yet arrived in real life. In aged care centers. In remote communities where there are more immune deficiencies. Etc..
- At least he is making a comeback.

Good luck Brandon! Especially with your health!
Hope hard you make the team!

You should actually stop the draft until you figure out what the rules are! @Gator

Just now, Caboose said:
I can confirm that the rule received 20+ positive votes within about 20 minutes.
Why the message was deleted I'll never know.
Why we are changing rules mid draft I don't understand.
All that being said, its a good change. Essentially: instead of waiting until the conclusion of round 10 for the limit on 2022 or 2023 prospects to expire, we wait until the conclusion of round 11, thus the teams who were lower in the round 1 draft order get the first crack at a 2nd 2022/23 draftee.
You still have an opportunity to pick your 1 before that point.
Its not a good change.
People have started picking players they probably would not have based on the rules in place.
Its bullshit

It was taken down after the enough votes were in to pass. At that point there was no need to keep it up
When was it posted, why did I not get a notification. Each of the last three rounds I made specific selections based on strategy as to when players would & would not potentially slip / be taken. I even started out taking my one and only 22/23 1st early having a strategy based on the rules from the start.
It changes the values of the no 22/23 prospects and veterans.
You need to back this off. Nobody posted in the thread that I saw.
So who's idea or feedback was it???

I do apologize for any inconvenience. If it's any consolation I am kind of getting screwed in my strategy as well by the change, but it's for the better of the league in terms of fair playing field.
I will own the mistake, and deserve any backlash that comes of it. It should have been a thing from the start if I took the time to think it over. It was eating at me for days, and when it was brought to my attention by another GM it started the discussion. We discussed the idea of putting it up to a vote with the league. We decided a vote would be the way to go, and it passed with 20 votes (very quickly). I do apologize for the inconvenience. I ask you to respect the ruling, and promise to to my best to avoid these circumstances in the future.
Dont change rules mid stream. Full stop. This rule should backed off.
It alters the category of when certain types of players. And is already impacting the draft. Please send a screenshot of this vote in the leage vote section, with a notification and a reasonable time frame
(like before the draft). How do I even vote on something without a ballot?https://discord.com/channels/1132349119680221239/1132432977457057903

We have got the 20 votes needed to change the rule. You will now only be permitted to have 1 2022 or 2023 prospect in the first 11 rounds. Meaning you cannot select a 2nd one until round 12. You can still only have a max of 3 by the end of 20 rounds.
I cannot even find this vote; just looked in 'League votes'.
This rule should not proceed.

IMPORTANT LEAGUE VOTE!
If youre not on discord feel free to DM me your vote if you're in favor of the rule change. Thanks!
How did this all pop up over 8 hours? I have not even seen it to vote.
Not keen on changing draft rules themselves mid stream. The existing structure altered what I did in earlier rounds. This is dumb!

I drafted him in puck 11th oa ahead of Rossi. I had him ranked 8th.
You can tell I had no first round pick that year in Puck.
I had Rossi 8th, Quinn tenth; albeit would have slept on Lundell. And that part would have been a mistake. Pretty sure I drafted Quinn 11th in CDCFL?

The goaltender game can be a fickle one...
In one league i traded multiple assets, including 3 1sts. To acquire one each top play off G's in back to back years. One got injured, no play off W's (and it cost me a title). The other took an extra year to get in to the play offs. Then was beat by a guy 5th on the depth chart 3 months earlier.

Yea but Karlsson has value.
Granlund and Petry have none.
Not sure why San Jose would ever take that Granlund contract.
Let’s face it teams that have poster boys like Crosby on it get favours done for them all the time. It’s still the old boys club.
They got rid of $40M Total ($10M x 4) in cost!
Took on $13.25M this year, $8.25M next year in return; a cash savings of around $19M total in real dollars when they are not contending.
* Plus got a 1st round pick and some old horse assets.
* Maybe they can get a further return, reduce salary more by trading Hoffman & Rutta at deadline. Cpl of mid or late picks, some extra cash off books???
* And if Granlund is a barn horse, maybe they can just shoot him to get off the books. Its California; dropping his kids at school just by natural everyday circumstance...

This round I wanted Jesper Wallsteadt & Marco Rossi. I was not sure which one to pick first (took Rossi) & hope the other slipped?
@Petey Castiglione took Wallsteadt & F'd my plan. I wonder if Rossi would have slipped through?
Knight is a pretty good fallback. Might even get some points out of it this year.
