It is time for Spidey’s analysis of the season 70 SMJHL draft. We look to give you an honest and truthful look at how the draft went down (If you think I shit all over the team logos, just wait). It was an amazing night, full of surprises and shocks throughout the draft. With many hopefuls having their dreams come true.
S70 SMJHL Entry Draft Round 1 1: ![]() - Talk about a reach with the first overall pick. Likely never going to accomplish much. 2: ![]() - Another swing and a miss. 3: ![]() - Hmmm…would have been a great 7th round pick. 4: ![]() - Great Falls makes a great mistake. 5: ![]() - Just to buy a good pick, this wasn’t 6: ![]() - Clearly the point of this pick was to tank for next year. 7: ![]() - Everyone had high hopes for you but this was too early for a talented 4th liner. 8: ![]() - Grizzles look like teddy bears with this pick. 9: ![]() - Finally a true elite talent that should have been picked with the first overall choice. Crystal is good at offense particularly moving the puck and setting up others, and she is one of the best defensive forward’s in this draft. She plays hard, can hit better then most defenders and will drop the gloves to protect her teammates. Do not get to close to this Momma Bear or her cubs as she will make you pay. 10: ![]() - Mick never heard of him, and likely never will again. 11: ![]() - Seems like he should have been picked much later. 12: ![]() - I like this new comer, I also liked this pick to be much later. 13: ![]() - Furious Chicken is the same as a Chihuahua, nothing like a Malamute, so this is a miss. 14: ![]() - For the second time in the first round the Scarecrows made a draft error. Maybe next year will be better. Overall the first round was filled with miss opportunity, selecting players on potential, and reaching to fill holes on their rosters. Round 2 15: ![]() - She could be a star…in another league. This one maybe a 4th liner. 16: ![]() - Can you imagine waiting until the second round to make your first pick and this is who you choose… 17: ![]() - Odd choice as his name sounds like a ship captain that hunts Whales. Clearly wanting to self-destruct. 18: ![]() - Isn’t this the second Svatos? Hopefully you will be better then the first. Most likely not. 19: ![]() - A player who plays like he is moving through the fog. Unsure, slow, and likely to crash at any second. 20: ![]() - Great name! Terrible pick, far too early for anything that makes sense, would have been a fantastic free agent pick up. 21: ![]() - Aramada are clearly looking to upgrade their fleet and brought in a Barge. Just a state of how under powered the Armada truly are. 22: ![]() - You are Kraken me up with this selection here. Could have been had later. 23: ![]() - A spot-on name for what he does, clearly filling a need rather then going for talent. 24: ![]() - It worries me they felt the need to repeat their name twice so they wouldn’t forget it. 25: ![]() - Missed his calling as a comic book hero with a name like that. Don’t expect much out of hockey. 26: ![]() - One of the true elite talents in the scoring department, clearly Webb has a lot of work to do on the rest of his game, but he will get there. I see him to starting as a specialist on the PP as he develops, and eventually working his way up the roster. If you need Goals, Webb is the right pick. 27: ![]() - Really that’s who you pick here…? 28: ![]() - Still Kraken me up with this draft pick. Another disappointing round as a whole, clearly only one team is actually taking this draft seriously, lets see if anyone picks it up in the 3rd round….btw the Knights do not pick in the 3rd round, so lets just give the entire round a big old NOPE and move on. Round 3 29: ![]() 30: ![]() 31: ![]() 32: ![]() 33: ![]() 34: ![]() 35: ![]() 36: ![]() 37: ![]() 38: ![]() 39: ![]() 40: ![]() 41: ![]() 42: ![]() All of Round 4 was a bunch of disappointing picks that could have and maybe should have been much later in the draft. Just a bad bunch of scouting by SMJHL General Managers that made selections. Round 4 has no Knight selections again! This can’t be good… Round 4 43: ![]() 44: ![]() 45: ![]() 46: ![]() 47: ![]() 48: ![]() 49: ![]() 50: ![]() 51: ![]() 52: ![]() 53: ![]() 54: ![]() 55: ![]() 56: ![]() Man these GMs keep making terrible choices. Its ok breathe, the Knights make a pick this round. I am sure we will see something positive. Round 5 57: ![]() 58: ![]() 59: ![]() 60: ![]() 61: ![]() 62: ![]() 63: ![]() 64: ![]() 65: ![]() 66: ![]() 67: ![]() 68: ![]() - Arguably the steal of the draft right here. Morgan is going to become a STAR in the SMJHL and rather early too. Morgan has the ability to blow by everyone with lightning quick speed. Literally if you blink you will miss them. Shooting is something to be desired, but Morgan will have everyone chasing them, at that point Morgan’s ability to make tape to tape passes to a scorer will make team’s heads spin. 69: ![]() 70: ![]() At this point in the draft, let’s just say there are a number of teams that clearly made mistakes trying to fill needs and not selecting talent. They are clearly going to pay for it through out the year. Then there are others who crushed their draft and will be reaping the benefits from this class for years to come. As for the rest of the draft I am pretty sure we can just skip by it and rate the rest with a big NOPE. Round 6 71: ![]() 72: ![]() 73: ![]() 74: ![]() 75: ![]() 76: ![]() 77: ![]() 78: ![]() 79: ![]() 80: ![]() 81: ![]() 82: ![]() 83: ![]() 84: ![]() Round 7 85: ![]() 86: ![]() 87: ![]() 88: ![]() 89: ![]() 90: ![]() 91: ![]() 92: ![]() 93: ![]() 94: ![]() 95: ![]() 96: ![]() 97: ![]() 98: ![]() Congrats to everyone on a fun night, a great draft, and truthfully all the best to you all. I know the General Manages have put a lot of work into whom they chose to pick, and you all should be happy with where you were selected. I hope you win a ton of games (against everyone but the Kelowna Knights, against the Knights find death, sadness, and the bitter sting of defeat), find fun in the league, and make a ton of friends. Good Luck season 70 draft picks and returning players! GO KNIGHTS! ![]() Sig by Lazyeye

It only made up a third of the article. Honestly I would have just written it out, but that would have been a waste of an hour going back and forth for the same result. ![]() Sig by Lazyeye
