+--- Thread: Tentative Offseason Schedule (/showthread.php?tid=86844)
- Eggy216 - 06-20-2018
Hello everyone! With the offseason coming up quickly, we've got an offseason schedule for you all. Why are we posting this before the offseason? Because things are going to be going differently than usual, and we want everyone to be prepared.
Notably, we're going to have to basically put a freeze on the site when we begin the forum transfer. This is because we're literally downloading this forum and uploading it to the new server, meaning any posts made after the point when we download the forum won't transfer. So while you can continue posting here after that point, things like updates will have to wait until we make the jump. Notably, this means that the current activity check will end a few hours early. If you end up getting caught by that few hour gap where the AC is dead when it shouldn't be, you'll be able to PM me before that point in time to claim the TPE on the new site.
Also, please note that these dates are subject to change. It's very likely things don't go as planned and that we'll have to make changes on the fly, but for now this is what we're going to be planning on assuming nothing blows up in our faces.

Thanks for the transparency Eggy.

To whom it may concern,
Would it be implausible to do the SMJHL Draft before/the day of the SHL Draft? Otherwise, that's a three-day window to complete an SMJHL Reddit draft and the GM work for said draft over the 4th of July holiday.
Signed,

Looks great, only question what is the tentative date for the SMJHL draft ?

SMJHL can do their draft whenever works for them, there’s no reason it couldn’t be earlier than the SHL draft as long as we have the players

usually it would be either a few days earlier or a few days later but we dont have that luxury
- DrunkenTeddy - 06-20-2018
I believe the smjhl draft is typically after the SHL draft so that SHL teams can figure out who they are calling up and smjhl teams know what positions they should be drafting

Quote:Originally posted by DrunkenTeddy@Jun 20 2018, 10:15 AMexactly this. SHL draft really needs to be before SMJHL draft.

I would also like longer than 3 days to get my ducks in a row
- Eggy216 - 06-20-2018
Well right now only 3 teams have given me their preferences but all 3 want that earliest date, the friday, for the draft
- InciteHysteria - 06-20-2018
SHL Draft can go at pretty much any point after the season ends. Not like you're getting new players added up until the draft goes. All it comes down to is GM prep time. Which most GMs should have been scouting during the season.

I mean, wouldn't most SHL teams already have a pretty good idea in that regard? The only thing that might alter that is FA, and with the timeline posted that should be largely sorted before the SHL Draft, too.
If SMJHL folks are certain they want to wait until after the SHL Draft and callup/send down, this schedule isn't going to work, pretty simply put.

yeah but more importantly what date specifically will this be added to the new site
