Hello and welcome to the 2023 DHL Entry Level Player Draft!
Boy oh boy, what an eventful week it has been leading up to the draft this year. Apologies for the delay in getting things going, but I'm actually pretty optimistic about things with Patrick now aboard the DHL! He brings a wealth of experience, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do with his team going forward.
The off-season is always an absolute blast here in the DHL, so let's show him what it's all about... Starting with the EL Player Draft.
Sami and the Haukiputaan Ahmat are at the top of the draft board again this year, drafting 1st overall for the second consecutive season. After selecting Juraj Slafkovsky last draft, he has the opportunity to add another major piece to his roster for years to come.
Good luck to everyone in the league over the next couple weeks, and happy drafting!

Connor Bedard, C, Chicago Blackhawks
Welcome to the iglo Connor, welcome!

Tampa Bay selects Matvei Michkov. That one kid from Russia. You are going to wish that Taxi squad was in effect with this kid...might be worth the wait but unless he defects it might be a long one.

You should come up with a better name than "Taxi Squad". It implies players are available to be moved in and out of your active roster easily, which is the opposite of what you want to do. But you're absolutely right about Michkov, especially now that the KHL might be moving on from honoring NHL contracts. Who knows what's going to happen... Anyway, the Portland Buckaroos are excited to select Leo Carlsson, C, Anaheim Duckies

Bereavement List? Hibernation Members? Sure we can come up with something. I'd nominate "Phantom Zone". St. Roch'll have my back on that one. Anyways, Moscow Red Army selects Zachary Benson, LW, Buffalo Sabres
