Or won't he care where he goes, as long as it's NHL, no matter the team? Well, it is not how it works, he may have his favorite team but teams picks according their draft order ranking, first usually pick the last ranked team Players have obvioulsy their favorite team, but at the end just been drafted is somehing enormous for them no matter by which team I mean Olympic tournament MVP at 17 years ! that is something absolutely insane and unprecedented and the best thing is we have back in the country maybe even bigger talent 16 years old Dalibor Dvorský, whom NHL scouts expect to be top 2 next year Draft. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,156 Posted February 20, 2022 #753 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Well, for me these were bummer Olympics (for a lot of reason, including the lack of NHLers) but I have to say that both the men's gold and bronze medal games did manage to put a big smile on my face. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ideally you'd want to be like the 10th pick or something, to avoid being picked by a shitty team? It seems a little cruel to be this huge amazing talent, so much that you are choice number one, and because you're so good, you have to play for the worst team Spoiler I do suppose you get like a one year contract or something and after that can actually make a choice as to where you go (or stay)? I'm no expert obviously, I only know the draft exists in these sports, but I'm wondering at which point in the entire process a player gets to the point where he can actually make a choice instead of just being picked and sold and traded without any say in it like a cheap pair of shoes If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
