Only S82 SMJHL draftees (S83 players) are eligible for this PT.
This is NOT for people who got drafted into the SHL (S82 players)

Your task is to predict the 16 players that will be picked during the first round of the draft!

Copy the code below and put in the names of draftees you think will get selected during the first round, order of the picks doesn’t matter.
Numbers are there to ensure right number of picks are made and to make it easier to separate the names on spreadsheet to speed up the grading.

Reward:

1.5 TPE for participation, plus 0.5 TPE for every correct answer.

SMJHL GMs and SMJHL HO with players in this draft will receive the average TPE earned.

Deadline: Friday, April 11th at 5:00PM PST.
Any edits after the deadline will disqualify you.

Resources and tips:

You can check the draft order from HERE

List of eligible prospects can be found from PORTAL or by checking the S83 column on this SHEET
Note that more eligible players can join at any time before the draft and the spreadsheet only updates daily while portal shows live data.

While it is rare to have GMs confirming the picks before draft (and they can always change their mind up until the draft) working with your classmates, to figure out which teams are most interested in each prospect, can greatly help to narrow down the list for the people that are likely be picked during first round. For this there is a channel in your rookie server, if you aren’t on the rookie server you can join the SHL Discord Server and poke some of the Rookie mentors there or ask on the Help channel for the link.

Usually, closer the draft gets, more reliable available info becomes so take advantage of your ability to edit your post up until the deadline.

To get better idea of needs of each team, you can check their current roster from portal under teams and selecting SMJHL from the dropdown menu: Link to Portal
You can also check index to see each teams rosters and performance from last season: Link to Index
While each team needs to field a legal roster of 15 skaters and 2 goalies, it is not uncommon for teams to give more value to the users than their players.

IMPORTANT: Please make sure names are spelled correctly, easiest way to do so is to copy names from either of the prospect lists linked above.

You can copy responses of other users. If you do so by clicking the reply button on site, you will need to remove the quote tags or you won't get the TPE rewards.

Please format your list like this:

Code:

1. Firstname Lastname
2. Firstname Lastname
3. Firstname Lastname
4. Etc.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
11.
12.
13.
14.
15.
16.

Good Luck!
