Round 1

Judging from your post 5 mins ago :P

[Noriculous]

Does someone know how many days we have to pick these 750 players..? So we know what the average per day is. Just curious.

[NordiqueFan]

until the end of september we have 140 days... so if we draft 6 player a day we will be fine ... i hope that we will draft faster then that ...

Pens Unstoppable? Flyers are playing without their top 2 dman, and both games could have easily went either way.

Although I do feel the Pens deserve to be ahead in the series, I hardly think it\'s over, I strongly predict the Flyers to dominate the Pens in Philly.

That being said, if the Pens still prevail, I would just love for Detroit to destroy the \"leagues\" favourite team. Regardless Detroit will win no matter who they play.

10-1 sounds pretty unstoppable to me. I\'m not interested in who\'s playing vs who\'s hurt (I heard too much of that during the OTT series) Pens stars are stepping up and leading the team. Fleury has been incredible and the role players are all doing their thing...the Pens are hot right now...maybe I exagerate it too much but I have had years and years of misery so I am doing my best to enjoy this...oh, and I got Crosby in this pool!!! life is beautiful

Hoping this draft wont take too long we should have a time line I thikn just to make it go faster.

Comish was saying when we hit a certain point guys will get a window when they can pick and after that the draft continues without you...I like that idea (unless I have to set my alarm for 4am to hit my window) but for the first few rounds we should be able to take our time. By the sounds of it there are going to be guys going on vacation in June which makes drafting impossible...thats too bad...I think its going to be really tough to coordinate times when all 30 of us are available. Anyone going on vacation should find someone to draft for them while they\'re gone so we can keep going at a steady pace all summer long...

OK guys im so sorry really. just creazy with work. im living in a hotel for 6 mothns. long hours and cant check my email at work. so i will be more aware. since i dont know the full stats of the league but since i have 7th then 54th pick

i take PRICE (same as my other draft but if this is going forever i need a young stud)

[Crazynuck]

With its 8th overall selection Crazynuck picks M.A. Fleury.

[newper114]

yeah good pick see im not thinking. i was going to take him over price but for some reason i just thought of price. ohwell i rushed my pick. good one.

I guess I was dreaming hoping Price would fall to me at 25 :..(

He would not pass me at 22

[Torture]

Haha, nice to see that I didn\'t miss my pick when I was off in Manitoba. I\'ll be sure to check this tomorrow and figure out who I\'m picking...haven\'t had a chance yet to see who\'s taken. B)

[The Comish]

Hey guys, remember, no pressure until 20 May. It will give guys time to think about their draft strategy as well. I figured it wouldn\'t take too much thought for our first round picks, that\'s why we started a little early.

One thing I\'d like to see less of is talking about undrafted players. I know from experience how frustrating it is when you are silently hoping a guy is going to fall into your lap and then some loudmouth brings up the guys name and says, wow player x hasn\'t been taken yet. That drives me insane.

Another thing is let\'s save the critiques until after each round. Remember this is a lifetime keeper league, so we are all going to place different values on different guys. Some of us won\'t even look at a player over 30 and some will overvalue prospects. Until we actually play the games, it\'s only speculation as to which strategy was the best.

[mapletreemarty]

Woah woah woah... hold on a minute... nobody said anything about a lifetime???

I concur with talking about undrafted players as well. At NHL draft you don\'t see managers yapping back and forth about who hasn\'t gone where yet.

Isn\'t it a little late for this?
Aki Berg has already been mentioned, how am i supposed to sneak him in next round now!
