All junior league discussion can be made here. It's 9 days into the sims chedule. I'm just going to review the final draft list for this year. Some 17 year old players will have some stats edited (i've noticed some pretty big mistakes). Simming will be every thursday (5 games per night) until playoffs year 1 draft eligible players: www.elitehockeyleagues.com/NNHL/juniorleague/Year%201%20draft%20eligible%20players.xlsShould be the final list. If you see any errors let me know.

Just an idea its not to important right now but maybe that could be another position. Head scout and then an assitant scout to put together some mid season rankings and the final rankings and to do stuff like that. I would def be interested in doing one of those if it was something you wanted to look at.

I was under the impression that numbers weren't going to be given until after the draft so we were forced to scout and look at stats. i was surprised the list contained skills and not just names.

I like it better with the stats. With out the stats your scouting almost pure offensive numbers. This way you can track them all year and watch them get rerated and such although im sure that wont happen until after the draft. What if your looking for a defensive forward late in the 3rd round and he only has like 15pts all year but has great defensive ratings and did well in a shut down kinda role? Thats why i like the ratings.

This is how it will work: last night I compiled a list of 17 year old players. It's going to have to be edited a bit because Tavares had relatively low ratings, while other defensemen (Paradis) had very high ratings. I just wanna make some adjustments to make it a bit more realistic.
I will then release the final list of draft eligible players.
There will be no drafting overagers.
I will sim the whole junior season/playoffs. We will do the draft. I will then do re-rates for the league. So basically, I'm providing you with a list. You just have to do your scouting from there after.

Im simming 5 extra games tonight only. By doing it this way, and going to the 5 games a week format after, the NNHL and NNJHL regular seasons will end about the same time.

There are too few players on the list. We need at least 90 for a 3 round draft, and there are only 76.

Uh-oh. Good call. Interesting, I thought I had put enough to round out at least 90 in the first draft. This creates an interesting problem haha.

Alright... well the solution is simple I guess. You can draft over-agers, only if they are not any other teams property. The list I provided will just be the 17 year olds then I guess.

How about drafting anybody who is currently between 17 and 19. I know in the NHL teams are able to draft any player who is at least 18 and no older than 20 as of a certain date, which I believe is sometime the following September or October, so 17 and 19 is pretty much our equivalent, because we're going by the current season, not the next.
In the NHL, they're also allowed to draft players who have been previously drafted, but I don't know the details regarding that, and I'm not sure it would work very well in a sim league.

I think thats if the team isnt able t o sign them they can re enter the draft. For next year i think it would be benifitial to throw lots of 15-16 year olds in the league maybe create an extra couple teams if needed but it would prob be a little easier to track there progress and what not and would make it more like the real CHL. I think you already have a guy to help you with ratings but if needed i would be able to dabble with that a bit as well. Just another idea.
Im a huge fan of the Junior league its a super cool add-on that makes this league pretty unique. Thanks for all your hard work Ian

I could use all the extra help for ratings. If you want to start putting together a list of next years draft, do it.
I should remind everyone the format will be:
Y1: Real draft Y2: Fake draft Y3: Real draft etc
We've got a problem because the season is so short. Next season I will extend it a bit

We do two seasons per year, wheras the real world does 1 per year. This means that we'd run out of draft picks before hand
