WHL 2007 Bantam Draft

Round 1, Pick 9 - C/LW Luke Pollard
He's a great skater. 20 Acceleration, 16 Speed, 15 Balance. He's also strong (13 Str) and aggressive (14). Most of the rest of his mentals range from 12-14. Influence is only 4, so he'll never be a captian. On the technical side, he's great at faceoffs (16) and the rest range 7-11. He's not weak in any one area.

Because he's strong (13) and good at deflections (11), he could end up being a really good center that sits in front of the opponent goalie to screen him and deflect shots in.

A couple of other Forwards looked a bit better, but were more up and down. Had a weakness or two that I didn't like. Pollard was the most well rounded of the top forwards left.

Round 2, Pick 9 - C/RW Jean-Philippe Donnelly
Physically good. Speed (10) is a little low, but everything else is 13-15. Not very aggressive (4), but he's got a good work rate (12) and determination (11). Also good teamwork (15).

Technically sound. He looks to be a good defensive player. Pokecheck (13), Checking (14), Positioning (13). Everything else is 8-11.

Round 2, Pick 17 - C Matt York
With a pick I got from a trade, I decided to take a bit of a gamble. Matt York was not ranked by the ISS, but his attributes look good. He's not aggressive (5), but he's got a good work rate (15) and decent bravery (12). Other mentals are 7-10.

Technically he's pretty good. Good faceoffs (14) and positioning (13). The rest are 8-11, but only two attributes (slapshot and hitting) are 8, the rest are 10-11.

Round 3, Pick 9 - LD Adam Ellis
Good skater (Agility 20, Balance 16). He's aggressive (16) and has very good teamwork (19).

For defensive attributes, he's good. Checking 12, Hitting 15 and Pokecheck 13. He won't be much help on the offensive side, though.

Round 4, Pick 9 - LW Sam Manning
Very high Work Rate (20) and good Determination (12). Well rounded technically (9-11). Described by my scouts as an aggressive winger and a poor man's Vladimir Orszagh

Round 4, Pick 17 - G Greg Henry
Good work rate (13) and determination (14). Technically good goalie skills (7-11, the 7's are Passing and Pokecheck. The rest are 10+). Described as a small goalie and a poor man's Jani Hurme.

Round 5, Pick 9 - RW Bob Boyce
A good, well rounded winger who can pass (16). Low work rate (5) worries me, though.

Round 6, Pick 9 - RW Dave Patterson
An aggressive winger. A poor man's Niklas Sundstrom, but more offense-oriented.

Round 7, Pick 9 - LD Connor Walsh
Smooth skating defensive. He's also strong (20) and aggressive (15). He'll hurt people. Described as a poor man's Steve Staios.

Round 8, Pick 9 - RW/LW Bryce Stacey
Strong (14) and aggressive (15). He looks like he could become a good defensive winger.

Round 9, Pick 9 - RW Tim Wilson
A well rounded depth player.

Round 10, Pick 9 - C/RW Shane Gordon

Round 11, Pick 9 - RW Nick Thomson
Strong winger. Could develop into a key player.

Round 12, Pick 9 - RW/C Jason Stevens

Round 13, Pick 9 - RW Jesse Aitken

Round 14, Pick 9 - C/RW Mike King

Round 15, Pick 9 - RD/LD Mike Coughlin

Early Offseason News

June 8, 2007
Shane Gimas hasn't done much for me. I would have been happy to haveh him as a 3rd liner for one more year, but several teams showed some interest in him. I got several offers for other, similar players. But then Kelowna came in with an offer for a draft pick, next year's 4th round pick. I decided to take a stab at it, and countered with their 4th round pick for the 2009 season as well. They took it.

Moose Jaw gives up: RW/LW Shane Gimas
Kelowna gives up: 2008 4th round pick, 2009 4th round pick


June 24, 2007
Dwight King was selected by Colorado in the 1st round of the NHL Draft (17th pick).
Petr Dvorak (just signed goalie from Russia) was taken in the 6th round by St. Louis (178 overall)

More Offseason Moves

Trade - July 19th, 2007
Moose Jaw gives up: LW/RW Garrett Robinson (Last year: 68 GP, 28 PTS, 7.32 AvR), 2008 7th Round Pick
Lethbridge gives up: Rights to RW Jean-Philippe McCann

McCann looks like he could be a very sloid RW. High Work Rate (15) and Determination (16). His technicals are 7-11 (most are 8), which are pretty close to Robinson's attributes. McCann's high work rate, though, tells me he will improve on them. I thought he was well worth the 7th round pick, and it helps me unload some unwanted dead weight.

Campbell a no-go
Chris Campbell, a goalie I drafted in Round 2 of last year's draft, is refusing to sign with me. He seems determined to play college hockey. I guess I'll try again next year. Good thing I signed Petr Dvorak.

Joe Moore retires
My head scout decided to retire after 1 year with me. I searched for a new head scout and found Dan Clarke (Judge Ability: 13, Judge Potential: 14)

WHL 2007-2008 Preview

In the WHL Preivew, the media has placed me 4th in the league, which is nice. It's the highest I've been placed. The chalk it up to most of my stars returning plus having several of the top picks from last year coming in. I really outdid myself with last year's draft as 4 of them are looking like they will be 1st and 2nd liners right away.

The media picked Dwight King as my Team MVP and my Key New Face as Luke Taylor.

WHL Top Positions Preview

Dwigh King was named the #1 Left Winger in the WHL.
Colin Swanson was named #5 Center and Riley Holzapfel was rated #7

[sabotai]

Beginning of October 2007

Colin Swanson's WHL debut didn't go so well as he was penalized for a game misconduct and was kicked out of the game. He comes back the next game and scores 1 assist and 1 goal and gets 1st star.

In Other News...

Dwight King was named to Canada's World Junior Championships team.

[mooreadamc]

Good for King. Also nice that Colorado picked him up. How is Wolski doing in your game? I am playing 1st year QMJHL and he is dominating the OHL.

[sabotai]

Wolski got picked up by Colorado in the 1st round of the 2004 draft but they traded him to Columbus in 2006. He has a 3 year, $3.7 million deal, with a bunch of incentives as well, with Columbus.

[sabotai]

Now that the NHL teams have figured out what they are doing with a few of the players they've taken from me (the life of a WHL manager), I can introduce my team to you.

Decent mental ratings. Is extremely agile (20) and is very sound technically. Good positioning (15) and rebound control (14). He'll probably get the most starts.

Joey Perricone - 20 years old - OVR
Has been my starting goalie for most of his career here, mostly due to the lack of quality goalies I've been able to get. Not very good physically, mentally ok, but technically average.

Paul Barclay - 18 years old
Decent results last year. 14-18-2 Record, GAA 3.54 and SV% 0.877. He'll stay on my regular squad so he gets the practice he'll need if he's going to be my #2 goalie next season when Perricone moves on.

Defensemen

LD Craig McGuire - 15 years old
7th Round pick last year. Physically good, Aggressive (14), Brave (14) and very determined (18). Technically sound, with good Passing (12) and Hitting (13). A very good, young player.

LD Nick Ross - 18 years old
All arouind average player. Good mental attributes. Has been good enough to start in previous seasons, but with the rush of great, young defensive talent I have gotten, he gets bumped to backup. But I am very hapopy I have a reliable guy here to come in when a defenseman will need a game off.

LD Kallen Savoy - 18 years old
The last spot for LD on the starting roster came down to Savoy and Ross, and Savoy did better in training camp and in the exhibition games. More offensive in technical talent than Ross. He's also better physically, but about even with Ross mentally.

LD Luke Taylor - 16 years old
So many teams tried to sneak the rights to this player in trade talks with me. I never bit and for good reason. He could develop into the best defenseman in the league. All physicals are 14-16. Great teamwork (18) and very hard working (19), not to mention Brave (16). Can check (14), hit (13) and hase a good pokecheck (14). He could use some work offensively, which will keep him off my Power Play Lines (Savoy and McGuire on the LDs on them). I may throw him on my PP lines a game here and there to see how he does.

RD Travis Ernhardt - 17 years old
Good checking (13) and positioning (13). Good physically and average mentally.

RD Lucas Folk - 19 years old
Another player who has started many games but gets bumped for younger, better players. Not a fast skater, but hard working (12) and determined (17). Can check very well (15) and can hit (11). But the rest of his technicals are low.

RD John MacIntyre - 16 years old
Another player from last year's draft (2nd round). Could use a little work on his skating. but he's very fast (19) good stamina (17) and is strong (15). Except for influence (4 - he'll never be captain), his mentals are very good. Technically he's a bit above average (9-12). He's another player some teams tried to get from me.

Scott Maetche - 17 years old
Good physcially, but the rest average. Decent for me last year, but I don't hold much hope for him. He has done better than Folk in training camp and exhibition, but if he slips up, I'll put Folk in there quickly.

Forwards

LW Chad Barrett - 16 years old
Physically good, aggressive (14), determined (18) and hard working (18). Technically below average. Hoping that they will raise quickly based on his hard working and determination.

LW Kyle Bournazakis - 16 years old
Not good physically, mentals are low but technicals are very good. He can pass (15) and has very good stickhandling (16).

LW/RW Dwight King - 18 years old
Stud. Could use work on his skating, but he's a hard hitting (18) defensive left winger (Pokecheck 17) In seasons 2005 and 2006, put up a combined 96 points. Already has 3 points this season, so he needs one more for 100. And he still has 2 more years of eligability left.

LW Jason Kress - 16 years old
Round 4 pick last year. A great skater, but not very strong (6). He's definately a finesse player. He's hard working (16) and determined (18). His technicals are just average though.

LW Brendan Sobchuck - 19 years old
Just an average all around player.

C Tanner Hogberg - 17 years old
Great skater. Good teamwork (15) but the rest of mentals are average. Also average technicals

C Riley Holzapfel - 19 years old
Drafted by the Canucks in the NHL Draft in 2006. Good physcals, decent mentals. His technicals are above average (10-13). He's one of those players are puts up far better numbers than his attributes would suggest. Good enough for me.

C/RW Michael Kay - 19 years old
Slightly abover average overall. A decent 2-way center

C Adam Low - 17 years old
Up and down physically, mentally and technically. Seems to put up good numbers so we'll see how he plays out.

C Ryan McDonald - 19 years old
Decent skater, average mentally. Technically average, but has good scoring attributes.

C Aleksandr Romanovsky - 20 years old (FGN)
Average physically and mentally, however, has great technical talent. Is a very good defensive center (Pokecheck 20, Checking 12, Hitting 11). Currently signed to Edmonton, but they've let us keep him for 1 more year.

C/RW Colin Swanson - 16 years old
Stud. #1 Overall pick from the 2006 draft. A strong (14), aggressive (14) center that can sit in front of a goalie, fight off the defenders and deflect (14) pucks into the net. Won't lose faceoffs (19). He can also do more than just sit in front of a goalie. Good stickhandling (13), slapshot (12), wristshot (14) and passing (14). And he's only 16 years old.

RW/C Dan Gendur - 20 years old (OVR)
Average overall player. Puts up ok numbers. I'm very weak at right wing this year.

RW Spencer Hoehn - 18 years old
Good physically, mentals and technicals are slightly below average

RW Mitrch Kelly - 18 years old
Very good physically, good mentals and average technicals.

RW/C Paul Miller - 16 years old
Round 6 2006 pick. Good physically, but not very agile (6). Average mentals and technicals.

Well........

I guess this dynasty comes to a sudden halt indefinately. I don't know why it took me so long to do it, but tonight I finally patched my game to version 2.1.3 (I've been playing on version 2.0.2, a couple of versions old).

I load up the game, load my save game.....says it can't load games that old and the game is closing. And, I don't think I can revert back to the old state.

So that's that. It was a good run....or it was becoming so.

Time to start over I suppose.

But, with the numermous bug fixes and tweaks, it's all for the better I guess. If I played on the old version, if I could, I'd be playing on an essentially buggy version. I was only a few years into this so it's not like I lost a 15 year long career or something. I learned a lot by doing this dynasty so I now take my knowledge gained and start up a real dynasty.

looking forward to the next dynasty

I think I'm going to take a step down (is it really a step down?) and coach one of the AAL3 or AAL4 teams. Then try to get a job in the CHL, and then to the NHL. I don't really follow hockey that far down, so I don't really know if a CHL job is more prestigous than an AAL4 job.
