Tougard Considers The SHL S46 Draft
#1
(This post was last modified: 02-10-2019, 11:35 AM by Durden.)

Well, I previously ran down my list of options beforehand, and now things are getting real. The playoffs are just about upon us and teams will soon be drafted the S45 SMJHL Rookies.

In case you missed it, these were my last posted rankings:


Top Tier:
Renegades Texas Renegades Renegades
Panthers Los Angeles Panthers Panthers
Platoon West Kendall Platoon Platoon
Dragons Calgary Dragons   Dragons


Good fit, could happen:
Specters New Orleans Specters Specters


Eh?:
Stampede Buffalo Stampede Stampede
Wolfpack New England Wolfpack Wolfpack
Stars Toronto North Stars Stars
Blizzard Edmonton Blizzard Blizzard
Chiefs Minnesota Chiefs Chiefs
pride San Francisco Pride pride
Rage Manhattan Rage Rage
Steelhawks Hamilton Steelhawks Steelhawks
Jets Winnipeg Jets Jets
syndicate Chicago Syndicate  syndicate
Riot Seattle Riot Riot



Now, I've actually taken time to look at the Draft Pick Tracker HERE, so as long as it's updated (and it says it was last edited yesterday) I'm good.


I remain solid on every single "Eh" ranking. I'm not willing to spend my career in any of those locations. If I get drafted there, that's fine as I've said before. I just will not be staying unless something miraculous happens during my initial year or two there. And with that time being spent in the SMJHL, I don't know if it would even be worth it for the GM to draft me, unless they're absolutely sure they can change my mind about the place. Again, this isn't a knock against the GMs or certain players on the team (I mean, in very rare cases, I guess), but is about the locker room presence as a whole.


I'm still not sold on the Specters, but I know JKort and I think there will be some great things done for that organization. We'll see more as the expansion draft comes around.



As for my top tier, this is where it gets a bit tricky.

According to the pick tracker, Texas has zero picks in the first 5 rounds. Nothing unusual there as we have a history of trading every single pick we've ever owned. So unless @dankoa finds a trade for a pick (in what I hope is the first two rounds), Tyler Tougard will not be a Renegade. Heavy stuff, but it's the reality of the situation right now.


The Los Angeles Panthers have only their first round pick, but then have 2 fourth rounders. I'm not sure I'd like to think about dropping to round 4, and I'm not sure what's on @Wasty 's mind when it comes to me and using a first for me. I wouldn't mind being a Panther. Again, I know a lot of the dudes there, the color scheme and logo is great, and duh, Wasty sigs.


The West Kendall Platoon are also without a first round pick this season. Again, not sure I'd be taken quickly, but not sure I'm dropping out of the 1st round (I'm keeping my hopes up, don't judge me). Would WKP take me here? Would they use their only top pick to snag me? I'm not sure.


And finally, the Calgary Dragons. While still on my top tier list, they have fallen in my mind a bit based on their recent performance. I'm sure that I could be a part of the impetus that pushes them upwards in the standings, but again, I don't know what they're thinking. The Dragons are ready and set to draft big this off-season, as they have 2 first round picks and 2 second round picks. They're sure to have a top three pick, but I highly doubt that gets used on me. But, also having a lower first round pick is promising for my plane ride to Calgary.



Again, I'm not sure what any GM is thinking. No one has approached me, and I don't blame them. It's a busy time of year, and I honestly don't think most GMs approach draftees. Unless I'm on the outside looking in and it's just me Tongue.


We'll see soon enough where I'm headed, and it'll be interesting to be in a (what I'm assuming) new location.

Not so much hate as I only know a couple of people there. I want to be with people I like and that like me (yeah, I know... I'm screwed).


I'm a-scared to meet new people.

Not asking why at all. Just stating that I haven't been contacted, therefore my opinions haven't been swayed.

I'm speaking to the top tier teams that want me, or the middling teams that want to change my perspective. But that's on them. If I never get contacted, meh. I'll live. Still getting drafted.

Maybe? Depends. Wbf isn't really swaying me to come.

"Bring back Pingy Pingu Lunga Gumba esq. And I mean bring him all the way back. I want every thread on this forum that involves even a modicum of salt to get razed to the ground by our most notorious shitposting penguin. I want every thunderdome to drown in ABAGABA spam and a signature that doesn't end. I want the userbase of this fine league to cower in terror, slinking about the forums and making as little noise as possible for fear of attracting the Shitpost Slenderman. When some poor immigrant from the NFL sim blunders into the forum and makes an angry post about how his player slipped to the early second round despite having done ALL the rookie tasks(!), let the veteran survivalists stare in horror and pity while the newbie rages. They will know it is only a matter of time before @Pingy Pingu descends upon his post like a ravening wolf and obliterates his tread, reducing it to a radioactive waste-dump of unintelligible spam. They will not interfere, for Pingy is our immune system. Because he can take it. Our Dark Knight of Shitposting"
