Was looking to commiserate with whomever had Dillon Dube and lo and behold he's not in the league. He was picked into a POD in 2019 along with a lot of other players but they all seem to have vanished without any record. Anyone know what happened to Valimaki, Kylington, Dube, Copley, ...?

Probably went the same way as Draisaitl, Horvat and William Nylander... sitting on the old Springfield Gougers. That Dave Head had some beasts on his team.

Those pods were dissolved. Hence, no need to record them anymore.

The podded teams were dissolved for a reason. They were not capable of being used as pods anymore. Not enough depth.
Steve did an excellent job of creating a player pool for Adam and Charles to draft from. Good players, not too old and with potential to improve.
However, as you'd like to have those other players added to the Free Agent pool, please provide a list of those players so we know what we're talking about.

I was just trying to find out what happened to them as the Dube , Hart, Mcleod, ... actions got me going down a rabbit hole and I didn't see or recall anything being said about these PODed players once I started looking. There was only the one year of POD picks and, as they were drafting last in each round, they didn't make any 5th round selections that year so there are a maximum of 12 players that this would apply to. As free agents, they would need to play 40 games in a season to be eligible so that should also cut down on the number that might show up. The players in question are: - Drake Batherson
- Jusso Valimaki
- Max Comtois (HSD)
- Oliver Kylington
- Dillon Dube
- Maxime LaJoie
- Jonas Sieganthaler
- Phoenix Copley
- Jace Hawryluk
- Radim Simek (BM)
- Jeremy Lauzon
- Kiefer Sherwood
As you can see two of them (Comtois and Simek) are on current rosters. Simek came in through the COVID draft and I have to assume Comtois came in through the expansion draft with HSD and VFS (there isn't a tab on the CHL file that I can see to confirm/deny). |

I see no reason to add these players as Free Agents. It looks like we'll have plenty of choices as things stand.
