EHEC Draft Chatter 2011

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:07 am

Let's keep all chatter about the EHEC Draft in this thread. As I said in the League Memos thread, the Entry Draft threads are only for making picks.

Still waiting for the Jeff Carter trade!

jamesredwings · Post by **jamesredwings** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:52 am

Mike Richards instead of Jeff Carter , is that ok?

Post by **SharksGM** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 11:55 am

EHEC must mirror the NHL as much as possible, so I'm expecting Carter for Voracek + Couturier in a 3 way deal.

if it doesn't happen in the next few hours, i expect Burke to make a convoluted rule change to make sure reality is adhered to.

Just a note, since I'm sure you're all concerned, I have Austin Czarnik's ceilings fixed.

Haven't uploaded the file in a while, apologies for that.

Do we want a draft chat on the main EHEC page? It won't be to announce picks, just to bullshit during the draft.

Picks still need to be posted.

It's 12 hours, not 12 minutes.

Can't expect guys to be here. Just can't.

Make sure you start sending lists if you aren't going to be around.

According to his draft preview, with Huberdeau gone looks like he will be taking a defenseman.

I posted the trade. let's see if he responds

Wow 9 hours and still in first ten picks

jamesredwings wrote:Wow 9 hours and still in first ten picks

11 picks took 9.5 hours last year. We're not that far behind our regular schedule.

Like I told you, we have a lot of offseason to account for. Not worried if this takes a while.

Once EDM gets on, we'll have 4 picks done really quick.

jamesredwings · Post by **jamesredwings** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:38 pm

You will go to heaven for this. You know that!

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Sat Jun 25, 2011 10:17 pm

I cannot stress this enough. Guys, please start sending lists so we can keep things moving at a better pace. I know trade possibilities are involved and all that, but do what you can to keep the draft moving along. Thanks.

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 12:30 am

Last year's 14th pick was made at 9:47 am on Sunday morning last year. So, we've made slight progress this year. Ahead of pace by 2 picks.

Post by **SharksGM** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 9:46 am

Geez, I thought Nick was retiring? And here he steals Beaulieu at #15. Crazy.

GM Office Q · Post by **GM Office Q** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 10:09 pm

5 hours and 33 minutes between picks 17 and 18, then 7 minutes between picks 18 and 23 including 18 and 19 being posted in the same minute. Nice!

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 10:14 pm

Last year's first round ended on Wednesday morning at 3:06 a.m.

We're ahead of that pace.

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 12:59 am

Just telling you guys that even if NYI picks tonight, I'm not picking til the morning. Heading for bed right now. I'll check in again around 8:30 am.

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:07 am

Making up my mind between two players. I'll post shortly.

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Mon Jun 27, 2011 10:10 am

By the way, we now have Ryan Murphy, Ryan Two Space Murphy, and Ryan Three Space Murphy in the file. The latter two are not good.

the Irish are not very creative with their names (i can say this as i am half Irish); there should be less Ryan Murphys in this world and more Phil McCrackens and Patty O'Furnitures

I doubt that had anything to do with the SJ/LA CSB run-time error fiasco, but god I hope it did.

I know that it fucks up Player Scout. Just like having Bryan Miller in the game meant you couldn't see Ryan Miller in PS.

Goddamn. I am really struggling at getting my scouting sheet hitting ceilngs to correctly adjust based on height. Stupid looped IF statements. And I'm supposed to be awesome at Excel. Guess I better do it the old-fashioned way and draw up a flowchart first. :/

EDIT: I think I got it! I don't know why I didn't flowchart it sooner. It's so much easier to figure out the formula when you have a visual reference of the logical steps. Not sure how I drafted so well last year with that fucked-up formula in place. Just lucky, I guess?

I worked on a java program for scouting matters, and now i'm able to scout rookies in like .08 seconds

Nice. I don't know fuck-all about Java but I'm pretty good with Excel. Richard Hildebrand (hrudey from the good ol' days at fhockey.com) wrote a nifty utility that automatically extracts the data from players.ehm into a file you can import into Excel, and I just built around that. The only thing I haven't figured out how to automatically import is the player's height and position(s), so I have to enter that manually for each prospect, but it doesn't take too long.

One of the benefits of making the draft class. No scouting.

I suppose, but do you have the entire draft class memorized? Out of a dozen players that are all good, I'd still like to know which one is the MOST good.

Do you want a booster or no?
