EHEC Draft Chatter 2011
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.

Re: EHEC Draft Chatter 2011
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.SharksGM wrote:EHEC must mirror the NHL as much as possible, so I'm expecting Carter for Voracek + Couturier in a 3 way deal.

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.

Re: EHEC Draft Chatter 2011
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.

11 picks took 9.5 hours last year. We're not that far behind our regular schedule.jamesredwings wrote:Wow 9 hours and still in first ten picks
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.

Re: EHEC Draft Chatter 2011
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.

Re: EHEC Draft Chatter 2011
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.

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!

Re: EHEC Draft Chatter 2011
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'FurnituresCommissioner (CBJ) wrote:By the way, we now have Ryan Murphy, Ryan Two Space Murphy, and Ryan Three Space Murphy in the file.

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.
Re: EHEC Draft Chatter 2011
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?

Re: EHEC Draft Chatter 2011
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.NashvilleGM wrote:I worked on a java program for scouting matters, and now i'm able to scout rookies in like .08 seconds
