What’s the ticket price for this kind of draft

After chatting with a few scouts - It's been widely known that this year's draft was on the weaker side overall. Plenty of people ended up with a slice of the pie. Ton of $ exchanged for 10th Rd & below draft selection. All for bragging rights I guess. I would rather a nice trip for 7-15K

There is no paying for players to be drafted, you’re spreading false information and it’s obvious you’ve never been through the CHL as a former player, or worked on the CHL in any type of position. Ask myself or anyone else who is associated with any CHL front office, that isn’t happening. Players will be bribed with money to play for a certain team, but that’s a totally different story. Absolutely ridiculous and embarrassing you’d even suggest money is exchanged for a player to be drafted. Get your facts straight before you post.

Then explain how players who struggle at the AAA level and have 1 or even no points get drafted.
It’s obvious you know nothing about the NYR coach/ scouting staff at Niagara

Okay so a team scout gets paid by parents and then has to go to said teams general manager and say “oh can you please draft this kid because his parents paid me $2000. Please pretty please draft him because I said you would?” Give your head a shake, a GM who doesn’t see any of that money isn’t going to pick a player that may risk them losing their job over a poor draft and poor season/attendance. This is a business, with owners who expect to make money from the team attracting fans and seeking merchandise. This isn’t minor hockey anymore. If any player is taken, it’s because they see some type of potential on that player or a need (size, physicality, someone who is willing to bring something the team lacks).

GM has final say and is clearly on the take and every team isn't doing it. Just shut up idiot, no one sees shite in your kid, he's a tiny puke 10th forward. You're an embarrassment and so is the team ffs.

So the U18 draft will likely be more of the same, except all will be 17 yrs old. You won’t see many if any kids being drafted from Ontario, these will be all US kids.

They don’t draft on what you did last year. They draft on your potential as a player.
