I would be interested in joining - I could work with a co-GM.... depending on his views of Dallas Smith of course.
I'll kill you, I'll kill all of you!!!!!!!!

I think we have to be very careful when discussing any restrictions on new GMs. After all, we were all first-time GMs at some point. And many first-time GMs - such as myself, reck, pappy, arrbez, Nalyd, Eagle, and the Speaker - had established a good rep in the History of Hockey forum before signing up for the draft. But when raleh joined, he had been at HF for a short period of time, and had about a dozen posts. pit had only been actively posting on HF for about a week when he signed up. And Lappi was brand new, too.
Also, has anyone heard from Frank the Tank. He's the other newbie (along with doctordark and cottonking) who should definitely be part of this draft.
Ah, ok. I was trying to reconcile the geography with your dad's Firsov tapes, though your English would be downright amazing for a Russland-Deutscher if that were the case. The mass relocation of eastern European populations in the early 20th century makes tracing the thread almost as hard for some Europeans as it is for we Yanks. My mother's parents fled from Odessa to Brooklyn (Brighton Beach - "little Odessa") probably around the same time your grandma was moving to greener pastures. Actually, they were running away from Stalin, so it was probably a bit before that.
I live in Kiel, by the way.

Which is why co-gms are prefered. 1) The buddy system should reduce bailings. 2) If someone bails, the Co-GM becomes a solo gm.My only concern is someone dropping out in the middle of the draft. Everyone has to start somewhere but what would piss me off is people dropping off in the middle of this thing.
Oh, my God, we’re having a fire. Sale. Oh, the burning! It burns me! Evacuate all the schoolchildren!Listen (Screaming. Singing “Amazing Grace.â€) This isn’t a fever! (Continues singing.) Can’t even see where the knob is! (Dramatic sigh.) And scene.
That's what happens when Dallas Smith hits someone in the corners
there's a special place in hell for those who diss a Bruins captain

+1Once we get all the GMs confirmed, I'd really like it if we went ahead and held the lottery and set the draft order, even if we're going to wait another couple of weeks for the actual draft. Gives GMs more time to work trades and set real targets instead of hypotheticals based on a draft position that isn't set yet.
Actually, this is a good idea. It took us three days to get through the first 10 picks of the last draft, and five days to complete the first round. If guys know well in advance when they're picking (instead of the usual 24-48 hours), it might help acellerate the first round.Once we get all the GMs confirmed, I'd really like it if we went ahead and held the lottery and set the draft order, even if we're going to wait another couple of weeks for the actual draft.

The first two rounds are in the first post of the signup thread.Since it looks like we have our picks, can someone post the draft order?
