The first ever SMJHL Combine has come to a close! We hope it was an enjoyable experience and we hope to improve it for future seasons!
We also had a great Prospect Showcase Tournament courtesy of Fever! Congrats to the Battalion for winning the tournament!
I created 3 Prospect All-Star Teams just for fun and here they are (Note these were done very quickly and mostly based off points in the round robin stage before elimination round was simmed, just thought it would be a nice idea to show all the talent in the draft).
First All-Star Team
Chara Brojled (Lions) - Chico Salmon (Blazers) - George Costanza (Blazers)
Marlo Stanfield (Outlaws) - Vladimir Bodnar (Lions)
Gustav Grimm (Battalion)
Second All-Star Team
Jordan Eberle (Outlaws) - Jean-Pierre Leroux (Lions) - Matej Stransky (Battalion)
Slevin Kelevra (Blazers) - Xavier Gauthier (Lions)
Kevin Griffin (Outlaws)
Third All-Star Team
Kein Monesti (Outlaws) - Max Mcdonald (Battalion) - Saoul Commeunebotte (Battalion)
Walter Heisenberg White (Blazers) -Simeon Mars III (Battalion)
Semyon Varlamov (Blazers)
--------------------------------
Clearly there is a lot of talent in the upcoming draft!
That being said we are happy to announce that the SMJHL Draft will be on Saturday December 14 at 1:00 EST, 10:00 PST!
We still want more draftees for this draft so we highly encourage everyone to recruit to the best of their abilities! You can also recreate
--------------------------------
We also have 2 more announcements to make!
The first is a minor one: It has been decided that SMJHL Equipment will be gotten rid of and it will be replaced instead by the same equipment used in the SHL. We feel this will reduce confusion and have one standardized set of equipment that people can purchase regardless of which league they are in.
--------------------------------
The Second announcement is a change to the Free Agent system in the SMJHL. Previously FA's playing for SMJHL teams have been poorly kept track of and teams have accumulated a bunch of inactive players who were just left on their roster or were undrafted.
Earlier we announced that each team would only be allowed 5 FA's in their lineup (2 of which must be 155 TPE). We are expanding on this by having a free agent reset for all teams.
A couple of reasons prompted this: the SHL reset of the update scale, our wish to better keep track of these players who can rightfully be playing in the SMJHL, to not have it so only one team has all the high TPE FA's and other teams can never get them (since they were never regressed and signed indefinitely), and to increase GM skill (GM's need to be more mindful of their budget).
The new FA system will work as follows:
1) Teams must bid to sign a free agent.
2) GM's must post in the thread in the Head Office with a link to the player page of the player they want to sign and the contract offer.
3) After this, GM's have 24 hours to beat the offer for the FA. They cannot match, they must provide a better offer. After 24 hours passes, the team with the highest offer gets the player!
4) Contract's have no maximum dollar value, contract offers must be in denominations of $250,000. Max amount of years that can be offered is 3.
5) Contracts will be weighted with money per year as the primary determinant, and contract length as the secondary determinant.
Example: 2 years @ 2 million per year < 1 year @ 3 million per year < 2 years @ 3 million per year.
6) For Free Agents that are still under the old update scale (probably most of them), they will be redistributed based on what they have already put their points in.
Example: if they invested 60 TPE into Scoring under the old scale, 60 TPE will be invested into scoring under the new scale. GM's will keep this in mind when signing players.
--------------------------------
This Free Agent Frenzy will start on Wednesday! There will be a thread in the SMJHL media section that will act as a Free Agent Frenzy Show Thread.
In the thread the commissioners will be posting rumors, bids, and signings of these free agents. You can also post it in it with your opinions! Was a GM an idiot for bidding so much on a player? Or was a player a steal because of his build? Let us know and see which players you will be playing along side of in the upcoming season!
If you enjoyed these announcements be sure to like, comment and subscribe! And if you didn't then just blame Spangs... or WADDY.
