Sounds cool. Donions is the official EDM coverage guy but if he wants to do a joint effort or something I'd certainly be interested.
MOCK DRAFT IDEA
I was wondering if there would be any interest among the writers in the PG Advised Team Coverage section on doing a mock draft of the FIRST ROUND ONLY.
I was thinking that we could do a one, two or three round draft where we select players (2011 draft eligible players) for the team you currently cover

BOLDED = confirmed
How it Works
- we begin making selections pick by pick from 8am -12am EST until we are finished.
- You may pick during down times if you are on the clock but the next person isn't required to start their selection until the picking period (8am-12am EST) opens back up
- you may select any 2011 draft eligible player who you feel would make a good pick at that position.
- once you've made your pick, you are required to IMMEDIATELY PM/Email (if available) the next team to let them know they are on the clock
- you have 3 hours to make your selection. If no pick is selected by that time then I will make the pick for that team. please don't miss picks.
- Pretty simple and it could be fun! Plus, you will learn more about teams and potential future stars
- Example Template for making your selection:
"Detroit Red Wings are proud to select Dean Youngblood from the Hamilton Mustangs of the Awesme Hockey League"
Feel free to be as creative as you'd like.
Now....
If you are interested please confirm by posting

Or I could do an uncovered team, although I obviously won't be as familiar.
Blackhawks brass is ready , we'll be at the podium
Terrific idea, since the Avs only have 2 picks in the first round, length wouldn't be an issue.
Unfortunately I am out of town June 10 until June 21 for an ultimate tourney and than field work without internet connection, so my spot can be had to another Avs fan.
Thanks for setting this up DY I look forward to checking out the results.

If it's one round I'm in, otherwise I'll have to pass as I'm in my last month of masters and my spare time will be invested towards the UHL prospect draft...

Sounds like a great idea. Id be happy to team-up with Dyz tho there's no way hes talking me off the RNH wagon!
When can I announce my pick, im ready now!
I dont have any preference on the amount of rounds, no more then 3 tho. Oilers have 5 picks in those 3 rounds; I dont know prospects that well haha

Oh, hell yeah, count me in! I think two rounds is cool for our purposes, but, hey, I'm open for anything....
p.s. spell my name correctly, damnit! Only Chicleteur gets to call me "boom".
@SmittysRant
Sounds like fun guys, count me in.

I'll give it a shot, however, I must say that my knowledge of draft eligible players isn't quite as good as many of you guys. Could be a good chance to learn something though. Number of rounds doesn't matter too much to me.
Without me, it's only "aweso".
