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:  Vancouver Whalers - Bob Wehadababyitsaboy- Talk about a reach with the first overall pick. Likely never going to accomplish much. 2:  Colorado Raptors - Oliver Castillon- Another swing and a miss. 3:  St. Louis Scarecrows - Dominik Winters- Hmmm…would have been a great 7th round pick. 4:  Great Falls Grizzlies - Levin Schattenaxt- Great Falls makes a great mistake. 5:  Regina Elk - Just-to-Buy My-Love- Just to buy a good pick, this wasn’t 6:  Nevada Battleborn - Thomas Sawschuk- Clearly the point of this pick was to tank for next year. 7:  Anchorage Armada - Finn Weiß- Everyone had high hopes for you but this was too early for a talented 4th liner. 8: Great Falls Grizzlies - Andre Latreille- Grizzles look like teddy bears with this pick. 9:  Kelowna Knights - Crystal McLeod- 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:  Maine Timber - Mick Mayhem- Mick never heard of him, and likely never will again. 11: St. Louis Scarecrows - Jay Bryzi- Seems like he should have been picked much later. 12:  Newfoundland Berserkers - Adelbert Steiner- I like this new comer, I also liked this pick to be much later. 13:  Yukon Malamutes - Furious Chicken- Furious Chicken is the same as a Chihuahua, nothing like a Malamute, so this is a miss. 14: St. Louis Scarecrows - Marshall Madden- 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: Regina Elk - Mercedes Baylé- She could be a star…in another league. This one maybe a 4th liner. 16:  Detroit Falcons - Theodore Svatos- Can you imagine waiting until the second round to make your first pick and this is who you choose… 17: Vancouver Whalers - Bellamy Blake- Odd choice as his name sounds like a ship captain that hunts Whales. Clearly wanting to self-destruct. 18:  Carolina Kraken - Filip Svatos- Isn’t this the second Svatos? Hopefully you will be better then the first. Most likely not. 19: Colorado Raptors - Foggy Nelson- A player who plays like he is moving through the fog. Unsure, slow, and likely to crash at any second. 20: Nevada Battleborn - Max Carnage- Great name! Terrible pick, far too early for anything that makes sense, would have been a fantastic free agent pick up. 21: Anchorage Armada - Barg Hazbite- 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: Carolina Kraken - Alexej Kastrba- You are Kraken me up with this selection here. Could have been had later. 23:  Quebec City Citadelles - Net Man- A spot-on name for what he does, clearly filling a need rather then going for talent. 24: Newfoundland Berserkers - Erik Erikson- It worries me they felt the need to repeat their name twice so they wouldn’t forget it. 25: Great Falls Grizzlies - Andren Akerson- Missed his calling as a comic book hero with a name like that. Don’t expect much out of hockey. 26: Kelowna Knights - Logan Webb- 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: Maine Timber - Shootin Blanks- Really that’s who you pick here…? 28: Carolina Kraken - Matt Stro- 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: Yukon Malamutes - Jordan Tanner - Nope30: St. Louis Scarecrows - Kyle Baretto - Nope31: Vancouver Whalers - Inactive Forever – Nopitty Nope Nope32: Regina Elk - Ally Mathieson - Nope33: Newfoundland Berserkers - Luke Labrie – Hmmmm…nope34: Nevada Battleborn - shnopple lopple – Well that is a great selection…for a nope.35: Anchorage Armada - Xavier Ali - Nope36: Colorado Raptors - Scary Jerry – WOW, I love this player, for a nope.37: Vancouver Whalers - Johnny FourStar – Johnny NopeStar (I fixed your name too).38: Maine Timber - Merle Van Nistelrooy - Nope39: Great Falls Grizzlies - Dave Richardson - Nope40: Vancouver Whalers - Thomas Liebold - Nope 41: St. Louis Scarecrows - Todd Bowers – Hmmmm, still a Nope42: Colorado Raptors - Drew Sureshot – AAAAAAAAAAND, NopeAll 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: Detroit Falcons - Martin Csiszar – Swing and a miss44: Yukon Malamutes - Donny Dangle – Dangle my expectations are low.45: Vancouver Whalers - Marko Zajc – Could be first mate to Bellamy (a call back to the first round), should stick to whale hunting and not playing hockey.46: Maine Timber - Michael Adams - Nope47: Carolina Kraken - Aaron Ranger – Wish he were picked later to justify this pick.48: Regina Elk - Thor Odinsson – Should be fighting ice giants not playing hockey, unlikely to succeed. 49: Anchorage Armada - Theodore Lauzon – Hmm…Another Theodore, another Theonope, at least this one wasn’t wasted in the second round…but still could have waited.50: Carolina Kraken - Extra Magic – Casts magic missile, also ineffective in real life.51: Carolina Kraken - Bryce Mitchell – Still Kraken me up with these choices.52: Newfoundland Berserkers - Paul Matz – Nope53: Great Falls Grizzlies - Bryson Basham – Not with those soft pillow hands. 54: St. Louis Scarecrows - Will Nason – Just a knock off model, and will bring knock off w**d to all team functions. Should have drafted Willie Nelson if you wanted to make this a worthwhile pick.55: Detroit Falcons - Ryan DeSharkie – Ryan DeSharkie…doo doo doo doo doo doo, Ryan DeSharkie, doo doo doo doo doo doo. Now that is stuck in your head, terrible pick.56: Detroit Falcons - Khris Ray-Thiago – NopeMan 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: St. Louis Scarecrows - François Bersier – Should have used your pass, instead of this pick58: Yukon Malamutes - Matthias Reis – Not looking to win with this pick.59: Vancouver Whalers - Larry Johnson The 3rd – Should have drafted Larry Johnson the 1st, he had all the talent.60: Regina Elk – PASS – They missed out on the steal of the draft!61: Colorado Raptors - Nate ESJAYKAY – ESJAYKAY always yells his last name, typically because he always makes mistakes.62: Nevada Battleborn - Alex Crosswell – Cross-soso would have been a better last name, same with this pick.63: Anchorage Armada - Peter Lasma – HEY It’s a great pick! …Wait sorry wrong player, nope.64: Carolina Kraken - Apollo Peed – I am so sorry for your last name, and the fact the Kraken drafted you here. 65: Quebec City Citadelles - Lionel Messi – Goat of soccer! Terrible at a real sport, no diving in hockey.66: Newfoundland Berserkers – PASS – Missed out on the steal of the draft.67: Great Falls Grizzlies - Michael Cordero – I know we are in the fifth round…but honestly is this the best you can do? 68: Kelowna Knights - Morgan Delfield- 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: Maine Timber - Chad Chadwick – I can’t write bad things about a dead person. Thoughts and Prayers. 70: Detroit Falcons - Drew Meyer – Nope.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: St. Louis Scarecrows - Dean Ventresca - Don't know you, must be a nope body72: Yukon Malamutes - Royal Pizza - Stick with pizza, less with ice hockey73: Vancouver Whalers - Nate Gray The X-man, I fixed it for you.74: Regina Elk - PASS75: Colorado Raptors - PASS76: Nevada Battleborn - Joebammmm Farf - Nope77: Anchorage Armada - PASS78: Carolina Kraken - Auzzie Chambers - Auzzie's don't play hockey, go back to surfing79: Quebec City Citadelles - PASS80: Newfoundland Berserkers - PASS81: Great Falls Grizzlies - Aron Mahon - You don messed up A (a)ron. Nope82: Kelowna Knights - PASS83: Maine Timber - PASS84: Detroit Falcons - PASSRound 7 85: St. Louis Scarecrows - PASS86: Yukon Malamutes - PASS87: Vancouver Whalers - PASS88: Regina Elk - PASS89: Colorado Raptors - PASS90: Nevada Battleborn - PASS91: Anchorage Armada - PASS92: Carolina Kraken - James Supercard - Still too early, nope.93: Quebec City Citadelles - PASS94: Newfoundland Berserkers - PASS95: Great Falls Grizzlies - Michael Doucet - Mr. Insignificant, last selected, finally the right pick at the right place. 96: Kelowna Knights - PASS97: Maine Timber - PASS98: Detroit Falcons - PASS 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!

I see the copy and paste meta to carry the word count and give you free cash is alive and well
“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. ... There are neither beginnings nor endings to the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.”

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
