I voted Gilbert, but I'm open to either Scottsdale or Gilbert...doesn't matter to me.

 

[gorsk11]

I will be at gilbert. My buddy who was there last year (Sabres fan) will likely be there also

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Voted Scottsdale but we're down for Gilbert as well. If we do Gilbert, we probably won't be there till closer to like 5 or 530.

Wish I could be there. This sucks.

 

[Matias Maccete]

I'm going to miss it completely. Holding the draft on a weekday is classic NHL stupidity.

I have a couple buddies here in Vegas who got into hockey this season (lucky bastards) ... going to watch with them here / give them a primer on how hockey prospects work. Enjoy, gents!

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Holding it on a weekday is stupid of the NHL. Guess we'll just have to have a Free Agent Frenzy meetup on the weekend!

We should do that too.

 

[moosemeister]

Giving this bad boy until tomorrow night to see where we wanna meet up. Probably safe to assume AZ Ice Gilbert will be the choice.

 

[moosemeister]

Wherever we end up meeting, what’s time do we anticipate showing up?

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

I always take the day off after lunch, so I'll be there at 4pm, me and my buddy Lars

 

[Jagged Ice]

I'll be there close to 4pm as well. 4:30 at the latest. The suspense of Chicago's pick is killing me, so I hope I don't run too late.

The guy from Metallica? Cool.

FOMO on overdrive.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Need a group photo from the meetup. Something like this would be perfect.

Maybe you miss your flight or got food poisoning?

The only way out is unemployment. Haha.

You've walked into my one Metallica anecdote, which I've probably put here before - his dad was a world top 20 tennis player from Denmark in the 60s/70s, and Lars played junior tennis in Florida...as did I. Never drew him but we were in at least one tournament together (at the time I saw his name on a draw sheet - 'Lars Ulrich - Denmark' - and was "Torben's kid? cool!" ... and then 15 years later it was "Lars Ulrich? The kid whose dad played Davis Cup for Denmark is a rock star now? Cool!")

Unfortunately I have a prior engagement and will not make the draft get-together, even at my home rink

In true Coyotes fashion I see a central location is being chosen.

Gilbert isn’t quite fare enough east for me. I’ll be headed to Houston for this.

BTW if you haven't been in this Gilbert rinks tavern in a while, it's a wall of monitors now. It's nice.

They also got dinged for 5 health code violations, or so the news says

Typically, and counterintuitively, that's the best time to go to a place like that, as they know they're under a microscope...but even if not they still have beer, yeah?

And as anecdotal evidence I've had wings twice since that came out and I'm here writing this a week later, so....

It is a little curious, as they've bought a wine fridge too. So someone somewhere has decided to make some investments at the place... *shrug emoji*
