is there any issue with starting the draft now with no one OTC? i mean the 1st round should be pretty straightforward, and we're already on a tight schedule, i'd be suprised if we can get a round a day done.

[GoNucks]

Im up for starting draft anytime! Earlier the better

I'm in the middle of a slow draft right now...larger league (30 teams, 35 player rosters). We started the draft roughly two months ago and it is not done yet.

yea i'm feeling a bit worried, good chance we are still drafting mid-late september.

if the amount of logons made by each GM so far is a decent representation of their available, there will likely be some delays. i think we should seriously consider starting as soon as possible. no OTC, no pressure to make picks, but even if we can get round 1 done before Aug 1 that will help us a lot. would also give us an estimation on how long each round will take.

My top five are Semin, Yashin, DiPietro, Mike Richards, Chris Chelios.
I'm a big Mike Richards fan so I'm crossing my fingers that he slips to me at #6.
I'll understand if you guys draft everybody on my list... I guess I shouldn't have put it out there for everybody to see.

Richards won't get that far... there's usually a line for him.

Best thing about Yashin is that he won't count against your cap.

Serious question.... Is Walt Podubny available to be drafted?

I'd be good to start anytime.

I'd be good to start anytime.

Me too. I can't wait to have everyone mock my draft.

[MCMackerel]

Yeah why not start now, and don't enforce the 6 hour window until the original agreed upon start day?

im on board with that if everyone else is ready and of course Peng agrees!

seems like most of us have no issue with starting now, but it's commish decision. i can't think of any reason not to start.

i mean if someone really doesnt want to draft until Aug 1 then they can just not make their selection until then, i'd have no problem with that.

clearly we should be able to get a bunch of picks done before Aug 1 so i really think we should start now. better to finish early than be drafting after the season starts.

commish, give us the green light so we can start this epic draft!!!

What happens if I want to wait..... you know,, the team with the number 1 pick...
