"Welcome to the Season 47 Simulation Hockey League Draft. It should be a good one this year as we have a lot of players that appear like they could be huge contributors to this league and to their new teams."

"As we see the first two picks go, Jax Duggan is a bit of a reach for the Winnipeg Jets as the First Overall selectin, but Gunnar Soderberg as the second overall to the Tampa Bay Barracudas, was expected. Now we get down to the third selection to one of the newer expansion franchises in the Chicago Syndicate. Chicago has been really quiet and coy about this draft, talking to only a select few prospects, but giving little indication who they are going to take here."

"With the 3rd Overall Selection, the Chicago Syndicate select... Corey Kennedy of the Anaheim Outlaws."

"This Kennedy selection is huge one for Chicago. They wanted a franchise player and they may have gotten the best defensive player in this deep draft. Kennedy is going to be a staple in their line up for years to come."
