2019 Dobber NHL Playoff Draft - Discussion

[Zorro]

I know who PH is taking, I THINK!!

[newfcollins]

The better question is, do you know who Stuntman is taking?

[Eskimo Brother]

Unfortunately not...

[DusterDave]

We are crawling.

Stuntman's first two picks were from Vegas. Does anyone have any issue with giving him the next two Vegas players by regular season scoring if he hasn't picked in the next few hours, just to keep things moving?

I'd hold off for a bit if we can. I think we shouldn't autopick just yet - we have had some pretty good runs to offset for some long waits.

That was going to be my suggestion. Say if someone doesn't pick within, say 6 hours (except during the night), he should be awarded the highest scorer remaining of teams he already picked players from.

I do agree we should wait for that a little more though. We're still only on Thursday. We have six whole days left to do this thing.

Maybe next year we can have a rule that if someone doesn't pick in an allotted time, his pick is missed. Then he can make the missed pick once he gets back online.

I don’t mind waiting a few more hours but keep in mind that these slow drafts tend to really slow down on weekends. At least that is the trend I’ve noticed from all the slow drafts I’ve done on here and I’ve done a fair bit of them.

[Eskimo Brother]

We'll wait until the evening at the latest I think is what would make sense. I like the rule of the highest scorer from teams you've already made picks from.

In general we'll try and get it done without autodrafting, but there is a deadline that we're aiming to hit.

[DusterDave]

Also, what is the better solution? Give him the highest pointed player from Vegas, skip him and allow him to pick soon as he is back online or skip him and allow him to make back-to-back picks when his next turn comes?

I’d say it’s more than fair to wait until 6:30pm ET before moving on. That’s 12 hours since the previous pick.

I would say giving him the top two Vegas guys before moving on creates the least confusion.

[StuntMan12]

I'm out of the house ONCE out of this week for a COUPLE hours and everyone is getting impatient. Had a last minute call to do some training for a job I'm starting in a week. My goodness not like I have a HISTORY of being late with my picks. Relax.

He just picked. Good call EB!
