ATD 2022 Draft Thread III (Final results in post 724)

[BenchBrawl]

If you want me to post the (anonymized) voting records for the sake of transparency I will gladly do that, but I'm heading into a vacation, so I won't get to do it before July in all likeliness.

No need to anonymize it, voting is public this year. You can post it whenever that's suitable for you.

Thanks for doing all this, Theo.

Is that public knowledge? I must have missed the announcement.

Thanks for a good series, @Sturminator and @BenchBrawl !

Actually, there are lots of people I'd like to thank; @Theokritos for collecting the votes, the non-GM voters, and the ATD GMs. Everyone's participation makes this a fun exercise for fans of hockey and hockey history, so, thank you.

And, of course, @ResilientBeast - man, I had a blast this year co-GMing with you. Thanks for all the discussion and work that you did to make this team work!

@BenchBrawl is correct. This pre-draft rules vote poll resulted in the votes being made public this year. Obviously there is no rush to publish these results, whatever fits into your schedule. Thanks again for being the vote collector!

Alright. Thanks for the information.

Congratulations to @Sturminator @BenchBrawl on constructing another fantastic team this season and having a nice and active finals thread.

Thanks to all the voters who stuck it out until the end of the draft

Thanks to @Theokritos for tallying the votes

Edit: My first win of any draft on this board as well in 21/22 or so entries

Shocking result. Montreal was the best team in this draft by far

They were indeed a very strong team. I definitely wouldn't have been upset had we come up on the losing end of this one.

Goaltending let them down.

Congrats @ResilientBeast and @rmartin65!

 

[ResilientBeast]

You can rest now big fella, we did it.

Congrats to @ResilientBeast and @rmartin65 on their win.

 

[Sturminator]

Congrats on the win, boys.

I don't think Vezina is qualitatively worse than Tretiak - to the extent there's a difference it's a minor one.

Congrats @rmartin65 and @ResilientBeast!

Thanks to @ImporterExporter for running things smoothly as usual, and thanks to everyone for an enjoyable draft, some very nice teams here, and less bickering in this one as well.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

When's the voting going to be released?

When's the voting going to be released?

I believe Theo said that the voting was unlikely to be released before July due to an upcoming vacation.

 

[VanIslander]

Make it August.

Nothing's happening around here.

In the future, teams should have to publish the stats next to the players - VsX, playoffs, awards, etc. so voters don't have the gargantuan task of reconstructing that every series.

That’s what linked biographies are for.

VsX sucks. If you're going to vote, asking you to do a bit of research and/or comment on the thread on players you're not clear on so the GM can expand on it is not too much to ask.

That’s fine for my team but if I have to research the difference between a hook checker from the 20s who is being used on a trad 70s checking line vs a two way 90s guy who didn’t score much I might need someone to lay out some info or they aren’t going to get my vote
