Sorry guys. I'm backpacking through Europe and haven't had wifi for 6 days. I'm good to start early, but I'm also not sure I will have wifi again until August 1st, so it may or may not be irrelevant given I'm the 2nd pick. I don't even know how were drafting? Do we draft on fantrax? I heard something about drafting in a thread on dobber? I'm not sure what we're doing lol.

Maybe now is a good time to reiterate the draft guidelines as RA was the last to chime in? That way we all are up to date. Helping the guys like RA (back packing through Europe) and me (entertaining my kids at a cottage) ... Who'd you rather be?

I'm Jealous Taylor!

looks like everyone has confirmed.

rataylor will have limited access but assuming we can get him to post his pick 2nd overall we should be able to get back to his pick without issues. if he doesnt have wifi access we can resume the draft on Aug 1.

might be better that way, gives us 3 days of no OTC to do almost 2 full rounds.

commish, if you want to give us the final go ahead to make the draft start official we can get this rolling.

There will be a thread here for drafting, from what I remember.

OK, looks good.
Since rataylor22 is in Europe, we'll put the draft on hold if he's not ready to make his 2nd/3rd round pick... obviously with the #2 pick, he probably has a good idea who he wants there to start us off.
I'll revise the Draft Time to start soon: 10:00am Eastern July 29th (today).
Please make your picks in two places:

i) The Fantrax DRAFT ROOM. This will officially add a player to your roster.
ii) The Thread here in "Your League Chat" - this will mostly be as a league thread - and I know many other forums members will enjoy watching a new draft progress.

LET'S DO THIS!


GinFizz > kick us off with that #1 overall pick.
Please post in this Forums thread: http://forums.dobbersports.com/showt...5-Draft-Thread
AND make your pick in the Fantrax "DRAFT ROOM".

[GinFizz]

Ladies and Gentleman,

Welcome to the WHL and its Inaugural Draft!!! Id like to give a special "thanks" to the Commish for setting up this wonderful league with 23 great GMs.
The Manitoba Moose are very grateful for being selected to participate in the WHL and promise to be active at all times with our franchise. With all that being said.........

With the first overall pick in the 2015 WHL Inaugural Draft, The Manitoba Moose select Connor McDavid, C, EDM

Amsterdam Red Lights are now on the clock.

[GinFizz]

now we wait......

[newfcollins]

now we wait......

Is it too early to mock picks? McDavid first?

[Pengwin7]

now we wait......

McDavid!
Very nice - gotta ask... was it a tough decision at all or were you locked into him from the moment you got the #1?

Researching the new arena for the Amsterdam Red Lights I assume?

[GinFizz]

McDavid!

Yes, it was a tough decision but I based it off the fact that I just cant root for Sidney. Just cant........

Mock away.

[evans334]

Considering you've got to wait so long for your next pick, it makes sense. You know what direction your team is going.

[GinFizz]

You know what direction your team is going.

I do? LOL... Please do tell.

[dooley89]

Looking forward to seeing this draft unfold!

[GinFizz]

Not sure if this was discussed in this 12 page monster of a thread but does a Shootout W = W in the WHL?
