Sounds good - April 2 it is. When will we know the draft order and the time are we starting?
Hey everyone! Everyone is sleeping so I have a quick minute to chime in! Thanks a lot to EB for heading this while I am out. I probably won’t be available much between now and the start so he is still the main man!
Thoughts on no positional requirements... no one wants to draft a goalie from the wild card team that plays against the president trophy winners and with 14 teams every goalie except two has to be drafted.
Also with goalies what if someone wants to draft multiple goalies, I think they should be allowed too. A playoff draft differs from a regular season draft because it’s not about finding players that go far. So why can’t somoeone try getting the goalies from both teams In the cup final. With positional requirements someone wouldn’t be able to do it.
As for goalie scoring it’s a difficult one. If we went two points for a win and 1 for a shutout, then the Stanley cup winning goalie is guaranteed 32 points ( 16 wins) and that doesn’t include the 2-4 shutouts that they might get. So a goalie could end up with a score 36-38 points. I think when I set it up a couple years ago I looked to see the top scoring players in the playoffs and I think Couture was the only one to get over 30 in the last few years. And I think the year Tampa made it to the finals Johnson lead the playoffs with 22 or something like that. Which would be significantly lower than the 32 that goalies would get based on wins alone. So I figured give the Stanley cup winning goalie 16 points and win 4 shutouts he becomes a 24 point player. I know it’s a lot of work to get 4 shutouts. And that the scoring may seem low but either way it Could be low or high. The math is kind on the wrong side either way.
Those are just my thoughts for why I set it up the way I didn’t and I am always open to changes and improvements!
cheers all! See you April 2!

Hopefully the above photo is viewable for everyone else. Draft Order is randomized there, and we can get started as early as tfan5211 is ready on the 2nd of April (Tuesday). Though if he wants to start Monday I don't see anyone having too much of an issue with that.
I'll have the draft page up soon, and change the order in the first page here to reflect our draft order.

Well, Tfan has decided to start us off already. If you're up next and ready to pick, go for it. Otherwise don't feel a rush to get in a pick until Tuesday. That's when we can start rushing.

Should also put it out there for those who haven’t partaken in a Dobber slow draft before that we do not mention undrafted players in the discussion thread. We don’t want to influence anyone’s picks.
Yeah I messaged the next owner. Told him no rush just figured I would get mine out of the way
One thing that is for certain in these Dobber slow drafts is that hockeyrobot and I are gunarenteed to draft next to eachother. It seems like everyone of these slow drafts we do we are PMing eachother “You’re up!”.
