Pretty pumped that the NHL draft has started!

I wanted Everberg and my last pick was between Lundqvist and Little. I'm going to setup a hidden camera and make sure you're not peering over my shoulder at my draft list Comish!
I love that chuck made his pick early! I hope everyone does that as I have commitment tomorrow night!
if not is there someone that will take a list for my Saturday night picks?
Thanks!
I am a daytime computer user so I am not normally around during the evenings. Hopefully it works out that I can make my picks during the day.
That's almost half of us... too bad we were not at the same end of the draft order...
We could get through two rounds each day....
Chuck, Doulos, Penguin making their two picks around the turn during the day... the others make their picks around the other turn during the evening.
lol, I was hoping Andre Benoit would make it back to me, but capermac just took him. Nice with the games being played.
I have no life, so I'm around every night for the next while if anyone wants to leave me a short list or instructions. I'm here to help.
Hey... I remember discussing this for the KHL re-draft but was not sure if it is the plan for all the drafts.... instead of doing it snake we discussed doing it 8-1, 8-1 for the KHL draft.
Well I do not think this is as fair for the 5 round re-draft for the NHL draft (unless I am in last place at that time :P)
I was wondering if something more along the lines of 8-1, 8-1, 1-8, 8-1, 1-8... So you are giving last place an advantage of picking first in the first two rounds then snaking it.
Then it would be consistent with the KHL draft. but since we are only doing two rounds, we do not get to the third round snake part of it in the drafts with only 2 rounds.
I hadn't given this much thought - too many things going on! I like your suggestion of 8-1, 8-1, 1-8, 8-1, 1-8. This is consistent with what we've decided for the two round drafts. I'll send something out later today. Thanks for bringing this up PH.
Lovin the NHL draft and loving my team after 10 rounds!
Tavares
Tarasenko

Can we stop now? cause now is where the strategies become important!
If you haven't already, you should be prepping your draft lists for the junior (games are already being played) and NCAA (starts 1 Oct I think) drafts with the AHL (starts 12 Oct) not far behind. The junior leagues started 21 Sep, so they are 9 days in.
Do we need a schedule for the next few drafts? Maybe something where everyone has to make 2 x picks per day per draft? 10 rounds x 2 picks per team/day = 5 days.
Thoughts?
