2022 Article Rewards

[SharksGM]

We haven't done this in a while, so:

- Write an off season review/season preview and you'll get some EN bonuses (mainly to compensate for training camp ruining vets).
- Write a draft review/prospect ranking and get some LE/STR bonuses for prospects. These will be scaled to give more bonuses for lower values (especially those lower than 40).

I recommend posting the full article in your team news thread on the forums and post a shorter summary on the front page through GMO.

[PanthersGM]

Is/was there a deadline for this?

[NYRNYRNYR]

Is/was there a deadline for this?

There is usually but this one is still very new. Dan hasn't even solidified the exact boost numbers. You can write one or both and post them here.

[AvalancheGM]

Yeah, I wrote one of the two so far but waiting to see how the boosts will work

[SharksGM]

You have until the end of the month, at which point a season preview is a bit moot. And yes, by all means, link them here before then. I wrote a season preview that is already out of date, having missed the Stoa trade and Ripley's corpse being replaced by Sauve.

Good luck getting me to finalize the exact reward formula before then. All I really thought about is that the rewards for prospects will be fairly liberal in terms of eligibility (so even teams who constantly trade their picks should have something to use it on) and will be larger/smaller for high/low-end prospects, respectively, like last year. They're meant to boost 2nd/3rd round (or rate) prospects, not make your lottery pick even better.

The Rangers have both their junior report and the season preview. My Oddly Specific Preview at the start has a real shot at coming true. Nostradamus over here...

Looking forward to the boosties

Any updates Dan? No rush for obvious reasons but looking at Marco Kasper continue his growth and still be at the abysmal 40 strength.... It hurts the heart

[SharksGM]

I keep not wanting to think about this, so I'm just going to more or less copy what I did last time.

Prospects for draft review: Anyone with <25 pro GP. +10/8/6/4/2 STR for STR < 40/50/60/70 (so in the <30s/40s/50s/60s). Or pick two prospects, divide the individual boosts by two and add one. If you want to boost LE instead, just divide by 2 with no add. Note this means no boost for any LE/STR above 70 (they'll have to earn them in farm or pro playoffs).

Example: Boost a prospect with 58 STR and another with 47 LE. +6 STR, /2 +1 = +4 STR for the first, +8 LE, /2 = +4 LE for the second.

Endurance for season preview or other: +12/10/8/6 EN for EN < 50/60/70/80 (in the <40s/50s/60/70s+). Or pick two and divide the boost by two and add one.

[AvalancheGM]

Slafkovsky +6 STR - 58->64
O’Rourke +10 EN - 59->69

[NYRNYRNYR]

O’Rourke +8 EN - 59->67

U60s get +10 fam

[NYRNYRNYR]

Marco Kasper +8 STR (42->50)

David Backes +12 END (43->55)

[TBGM - Geoff]

Casey +6 STR (52 -> 58)

Toews +6 EN (71 -> 77)

Damn you youtube bbcode.

Wait, can I get clarification on END bonuses? Can we use it on NHLers?

The post specifies prospects for the draft review ST/LE boost, but doesn't specify for season preview EN boost.

Yes totally. Just want to hear from Dan to confirm that. I'd like change mine if I can pump up some geezers for season/playoff pushes lol

It's easier to ask for forgiveness after than permission before... or something like that

I’m not sure to fully understand, so can we boost a single prospect in LE instead of STR?
Meaning +8 LE in your example.

Given this bit from his first post, I think you should be good.

Write an off season review/season preview and you'll get some EN bonuses (mainly to compensate for training camp ruining vets).

As a side note, if I wrote the posts but was tired and forgot to post about in this thread, can I still get the rewards?

[SharksGM]

Yes, that's mostly the point. Players under ~30 will regain lost EN normally so there wouldn't be much point to boosting them.

I’m not sure to fully understand, so can we boost a single prospect in LE instead of STR?
Meaning +8 LE in your example.

I suppose I didn't finish that thought, but yes, you can give LE to one prospect, but at one point less than the STR formula (the reason being that I can't be bothered to track which prospects has been boosted and between this and AHL rewards there have been lots of opportunities to boost LE).

As a side note, if I wrote the posts but was tired and forgot to post about in this thread, can I still get the rewards?

Yes, just link them now.

[St.Louis Blues GM]

END:
Patrice Bergeron +4 74>78
Francesco Pinelli +4 78>82
STR:
Owen Beck +4 59>63
Ryan St. Louis +5 47>52

Ok thanks, so:

Devan Dubnyk END +6 (73 -> 79)

Corson Ceulemans LE +7 (46 -> 53)

Seems like it's about time to actually enter these, so for my own: +10 STR to Kevin Korchinski, and +6 EN for Colin Wilson.

[SharksGM]

Juraj Slafkovsky +6 STR - 58->64
Ryan O’Rourke +10 EN - 59->69

Marco Kasper +8 STR (42->50)
David Backes +12 END (43->55)

Seamus Casey +6 STR (52 -> 58)
Jonathan Toews +6 EN (71 -> 77)

END:
Patrice Bergeron +4 74>78
Francesco Pinelli +4 78>82
STR:
Owen Beck +4 59>63
Ryan St. Louis +5 47>52

Devan Dubnyk END +6 (73 -> 79)
Corson Ceulemans LE +7 (46 -> 53) (actually should be +8 so to 54)

+10 STR to Kevin Korchinski (35->45), and +6 EN for Colin Wilson (71->77).

Entered these. Some players improved their boosted stats in the meantime, but I gave the originally calculated boost; enjoy the free STR if it benefited you (it won't matter much for EN). If you earned boosts but didn't claim them yet, post your choices before I forget.

[PanthersGM]

Coming in fashionably late with my boosts, made sure to use the numbers from the start of last season.
Mattias Hävelid +6 STR (Was 50, now 52) 52 -> 58
Darnell Nurse +5 END (Was 68, now 64) 64 -> 69
Matt Duchene +4 END (Was 70, now 61) 61 -> 65
