2017 Draft Prospects

[flyergp21]

I'd like to know if you guys have an idea of when we should expect a prospects update for the upcoming draft. Thanks.

Soon! I've got more guys to add to the file, and then I'll start rating them. Been a slow process so far, but you'll start seeing more progress soon.

Awesome!

Any news with the draftees?

I haven't heard back from Pat so we'll probably do it by committee after the playoffs end. Basically, don't expect anything in the next 2 weeks. It's going to be a long offseason so there's no real rush yet.

I'd also like to help but my free time these days is next to nothing :/

Well, a couple of things that might be useful if you've got spare time: find some free scouting reports that give concise summaries of prospects' strengths/weaknesses; and find college/Euro free agents who aren't already in our file. I'll work on adding the names/birthdays/etc. I may overwrite vopatized players in the last year of their contract if necessary.

For starters, I think we might find https://www.draftsite.com/nhl/mock-draft/2017/ quite useful.

There's good amount of scouting reports on this site. Just click on the name.
Although, there's no scouting report written for the players listed deeper in the mock draft list.
Those would have to be found individually.

college/Euro free agents who aren't already in our file.

Vadim Shipachev, Viktor Antipin, Calle Rosen, Mario Kempe, Drake Caggiula, Jakub Jerabek, Yaroslav Dyblenko, Spencer Foo

I've done a first pass through the first round of prospects, so you'll probably get to have a look the draft in a week.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to lend a hand, have a look and see if there are any undrafted (in EHEC) prospects who are worth giving a boost as overaged draft candidates. This list seems like a good start.
