Asunto: Youth Pull

My 4th prospect missed the bus

I had 4 players, and 3 showed up on the team in about 5 minutes, much quicker than normal. I already had the other 3 on the ice for a light workout, and then Jon Noland shows up.

AI 165 AQ 60 so so, but really mismatched.

Man thats a nice crop of players.

wow. awesome players. Quality seems to be high as well.


As for me. Well, I'm in jdevils3's shoes. Three players, 128, 129 and 163 OR. The best skill of all of them is the 163 guy with 1 and 1/2 star on defense.
this pull has been worse than the ones when my academy was at level 1.

My first pull at Level 8. Two OR177 forwards who probably won't go anywhere with their qualities.

The third is an OR221 goalie who's easily a future backup, probably my future starter if his quality is as good as my scouts are projecting -- Ronald Swan .

I have the "good" problem now of having three starter-quality goaltenders and a decent backup (my 4th stringer is OR196). Considering my current starter is in the middle of an 18-day injury, I feel like I can never have too many. :>

I have yet to find a goalie I would consider a starter at all.

One of 4 brought to the team. Nice stats, lots of stars for LD. Not ready for the lineup though, 47 defense won't even be top 5, but he's 4 star for defense.

got a 254 LD with 70 AQ but don't need another LD so he's going to the market (once he's scouted...)
also got a 194 UW 36 AQ, 182 LD 56 AQ and a 178 UD 46 AQ. If the 254 was a RD he'd be playing today but as is all 4 will end up on the block in another week or so.
In general my pulls from the level 9 have been worse than the ones I got from the 8 despite the better youth directors. sigh. Only 27 days until level 10...
looks like the Wasphawks scored anyway. Hans Whitman just bumped most of my guys down a notch on the top 20 league quality ranking page - I show him at 93 AQ but who knows...

it's not a bad thing if I'm jealous of some of these players you've pulled, is it? I'm drooling over the goalie Grimmi got.

I have 1 player that I accepted out of 3 that could be a in Line 2 or 3 immediatly if I wanted to plug him in, but I'll train him for the future. He has a 194 OR and looks to be a pretty decent winger by Season End

Correction, he could be a good center by Season End. Accually I could train him as either a Winger or a Center as he's got the numbers to be both.

Pulled a 205 Overall skater and a 4 star goalie prospect...if nothing else I added some depth but no impact starters.

One dud and two studs.

An OR246 RD, and an OR233 RW. Both 4-star. Both balanced in their stats, but the RD would need more Tech and Defense (he's almost TOO balanced between his three skills) to crack the NT lineup.

We'll see what the quality ratings are in the morning.

NOTHING for me. 3 pulled and the best OR is 139. This is really bad because it's the second week in a row I get nothing to keep, not even depth. Does anyone know if they dialed down the youth players?

They may have lowered the Q some. I got a 140 OR player whose best Q is 37. Maybe they will compensate by slowing the drop of CL.

My other players were an OK forward, except that he is a W or C based on whether is aggressiveness or passing is worse.

And a reasonable GK if you aren't too concerned about passing & technique.

Johnnie Bates, 185 OR:

43(72) Off, 28 (82) Sho, 25 Pas, 32 (99) Tec, 29 (43) Agg ... unscouted

He's universal which is nice for what looks like a winger to me... and I'm stoked about those Off/Sho/Tec qualities.

2 more guys were respectable as far as my team goes, but not stunning.
