I am not sure...

I think I'll just make a list of everyone who was drafted in all three leagues, then compare from there. will be interesting to see whether the FCHL2+AHL "borrow" from the research us GMs did for the FCHL draft.

No. Hall and Seguin will go 1 and 2.

there are what, four equally regarded prospects at the #3 spot? 90 is high. 75 maybe

[digitalmonkey]

I have about 6 guys I'd take at #3. Which one of them turns out to be the better choice is impossible to predict so I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

dont you mean rooting for him to tank?

Finally starting to develop a real farm here:Forwards:Michael Grabner (NYI) $2.00 - NHLEvgeny Kuznetsov (WAS) $2.50 - KHLSean Couturier (PHI) $3.00 - NHL Training CampTomas Jurco (DET) $2.00 - QMJHLCarl Klingberg (WPG) $1.00 - NHL Training CampTyler Toffoli (LAK) $1.00 - OHLDaniel Catenacci (BUF) $1.00 - OHLPetr Straka (CLB) $1.50 - QMJHLJanne Pesonen (WPG) $1.50 - NHL Training CampFredrick Pettersson (WPG) $0.50 - SELBrett Sterling (STL) $0.50 - AHLDefense:Taylor Doherty (SJS) $1.50 - AHLItalics indicate older, mostly awful prospects.

[Zach6668]

Congrats to Sean Couturier who played his 10th game of the season last night, meaning he should be sticking with the Flyers full time. He joins Michael Grabner as the only full-time NHLers on the Shortstackers' farm team.While it was expected, I'm not sure it works out particularly well for our rebuilding timelines, because he'll probably be a forced call-up as he enters his 3rd season, and my team will probably still be awful, and he may not have developed his offensive game by then, but it's tough to predict with all of the rule changes in the AHL, how quickly my rebuild will take.

[Zach6668]

Eh... Kuznetsov...

You need to start winning...C'mon man

Blockbuster Alert:

To Shortstackers:
2013 1st round draft pick (3rd overall)
Alex Burmistrov - F - WPG (farm, but forced call-up for 12/13, $2.50)
Ryan Whitney - D - EDM (FA, can be re-signed for $5.25 for each of three seasons)
Paul Martin - D - PIT ($1.50/$1.50/FA)

To Big M's:
Keith Yandle - D - PHX ($4.25/$4.75/FA)
Duncan Keith - D - CHI ($2.25/FA)
12/13 Cash - $7.00

[Zach6668]

Things are starting to come around for this rebuild. Starting to actually feel pretty good about it.

Exciting Assets:
Sean Couturier - F - PHI (farm - $3.00)
Evgeny Kuznetsov - F - WSH (farm - $2.50)
Michael Grabner - F - NYI (farm - $2.00 / forced call-up in 12/13)
Alex Burmistrov - F - WPG (farm - $2.50 / forced call-up in 12/13)
Beau Bennett - F - PIT (farm - $2.50)
Tyler Toffoli - F - LAK (farm - $1.00)
Tomas Jurco - F - DET (farm - $2.00)

Brandon Sutter - F - PIT (main roster - $2.00 / $2.00 / FA)
Drew Stafford - F - BUF (main roster - $1.00 / $1.00 / $1.00 / FA)

2012 Draft Picks:
3rd, 5th, 10th, 18th, 23rd, 38th, 63rd

A few other B-prospects on the farm, and a really good chance at being awful again this year and having another top 3 pick next season, to grab another future superstar.

[Zach6668]

I've also picked up the #6 overall pick in this draft, so I'll be stocking my farm nicely this summer.

It's funny how finally being able to see a bit of hope for my team has really increased my interest in this league. The last two years have just been so blah. This year my team will lose every game, but I'll have so much interest in watching my young guns play in and out of the NHL.

[Zach6668]

I won this weekend.

Grigorenko, teraviainen, rielly, dumba, Colberg, and people I drunk drafted. Possibly Frk.

Oh yes. I got #17 on my list at #38 and a penguin at 63.

Wow, nice result!

[Zach6668]

Yeah, last 3 were Frk, Bozon, Marcantuoni.

I'm really surprised Dumba fell to #10, that worked out well for me. I feel I got the best two D-men available, plus the guys I wanted most at 3 and 5. Plus really wanted Collberg or Aberg at 18, got my Collberg. Bozon and Frk I had ranked in my top 20, and got them at 38 and 23 respectively. I even had another guy in my top 20 available at #63, but decided to be a homer.
