thanks for giving me the tips bout the draft and stuff but just wondering if you or anyone you know who plays does the draft or do you just sim through it cuz i am feel like doing that...just trying to get a consensus on how many franchise players actual continue doing the draft
The one thing about simming the entire draft is that you will always auto pick the player ranked closest to the spot you pick. So if you do happen to find a late round gem, they will rarely be the player you take.
I never sim the draft personally, but I always try to keep scouting realistic for me which means not finding out potentials of most players and putting the settings on low and trying to take players that fit my style of play.
I usually make a list of players I want to take with my picks and make any trades needed right away. I’ll then sim up to all my picks. I can usually do the entire draft in about 10 minutes if I have a group of players already in mind and trading works out. I definitely don't sit through the draft and watch other teams pick, that would take forever.
thanks for the advice i didn't think you simmed the drafted but just had to ask..i was thinking on doing that due to the bad luck i had signing those draft picks due to running out of money by the time i came up to signing them cuz i always start with my established players first which majority of the time kicks me right in the backside...so what i think i am going to do next time is check my list of potential picks and write them down which i haven't done in the past so i have a better chance of getting good players instead of just randomness
Yeah, I think that’s definitely the way to go especially if you see some later gems. As far as making room to sign your draft picks, remember if they are from the CHL you can sign them and they don’t count as one of your 50 contracts as long as they are in juniors. So I normally always sign those players right away.
There’s usually a couple low rated AHL guys that I don’t resign either to make room to be able to sign my picks.
