FHL Waiver Draft News and Results

This is an update of what went on at the Waiver Draft toady at 1PM. The people that had picks that were available were all on except (ITSALLOVER) who had chat room loading difficulties while not in his regular war room. But anyhow, there was some early trade talk before the draft started and we kind of knew there would be at least one trade. But there wind up being 3 trades on Draft Day. A big superstar forward coming off injury was almost dealt for the 5th pick. That would of been the big trade of the day. But it fell through seconds before the time was running out to make a pick. All in all it was a good day. Most people got who they wanted. Some even are going to get to grab players they expected to go in the draft during free agency.

Most of these players picked will not make an immediate impact on their FHL team. There is a handful out of 16 that have that chance. But most of these guys will be stars in the next 2-4 years. That is if their owners can be patient enough with the players development. Majority of these picks will be on their FHL's Farm Team. Or they might even have trade value to other teams seeking young talent. The value of a prospect is in the eye of the beholder. Always remember that!
