2018 Draft Discussion

[Jordan (VGK)]

Been sitting around waiting for too long needed to get in on the fun

[Shoalzie]

Can't wait to see my #54 go undrafted lol. I did not get a PM/notice after #53 selection was made btw

I'll correct my part but in fairness the way you posted that trade with Josh was just lazy. I've got enough work as it is...you guys need to do the minimum for me. I don't ask much of you guys. My free time right now is fleeting. I don't need to go around cleaning up after everyone here.

a big pet peeve of mine in IFFHL.

[Shoalzie]

Not to pick on Mik but he's posted two trades improperly...one with Josh and one with Hong. I know it's a pain in the ass to figure out which pick goes with which position but do a little extra leg work or ask me. Again, don't just leave a mess for me to clean up.

[kyuss]

yeah I will stop posting deals myself when I don’t have the time and will force trade partners do it instead

[Shoalzie]

If you guys know what number the pick is, then you oughta be able to throw in which pick it is. All that information is there. I'm doing all I can stay up to date.

[Jordan (VGK)]

On the organization side may make it easier to have trade block/trades pending confirmation in separate spots. That would drive me nuts in ADHL having to sift through trade blocks before fidning recently approved trades.

[dave1959]

I agree Jordan.

[Shoalzie]

I've been thinking about that too. I like the idea of having posted trades as their own sub-forum and I already utilize a confirmed trade forum for when I'm done reviewing those for my records. I can set that up any time. The Trading Block forum can be a mess...especially around the draft.

[Da_Hawks]

I also agree. Found it odd they were together.

[The BBKL Insider]

speaking of organization, people should be forced to post the number with the pick.

Easier to follow when you scroll to the bottom of a page, and a lot easier for the person who follows.

another BIG pet peeve of mine in IFFHL...lol


edit: not a pet peeve actually, but a major fucking annoyance!!

What do you mean the number? like... #83?

Yeah I won't be doing that.

[Jordan (VGK)]

Yeah I won't be doing that.

Just making what selection # you are obvious in your pick. You've done it on your picks already. Some people have been just posting player name with no other context.

[The BBKL Insider]

What do you mean the number? like... #83?

Yeah I won't be doing that.

With the 47th overall selection, The Philadelphia Flyers select, from the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the WHL.

This is perfect


Or this:
47. John Smith

really, anything that includes a number!

[Lee]

Ohhh yeah that for sure should be done, I thought you meant in a trade thread indicating which pick number it is.

[Shoalzie]

I'd certainly prefer you guys post the pick number with the player but I can figure it out when I'm doing data entry.

I'm not a picky guy in regards to spelling but that would nice also. I haven't gone through and spellchecked names yet but I'll be doing more data entry and editing post-draft and that'll go towards the new Google sheets for next season. I like to use the NHL.com info after the NHL draft results are posted.

[dave1959]

if they misspell the name the pick should be null and void.

that'll learn 'em

Some euros have multiple spellings across different sites. And spell check is a bitch too sometimes.

[dave1959]

Fantrax spelling I would imagine would be the one to go with
