Unsurprisingly there's an appetite to start the draft a bit early, so I will be posting a thread for it in the next few minutes. Now that there are only two picks per round that are up in the air and that will likely be decided in the next couple of days (or tomorrow), we should be able to roll through the draft without having to stop and wait for a while. Just a few things to keep in mind:
- There will not be a time limit on picks just yet, so don't feel like you're under too much pressure to get picks in. With that being said, the more picks we get in now, the less of a need we'll have for a time limit later. We'll be finishing our draft before the NHL's starts, so if we need a time limit to wrap it up in the last few days, we'll do just that.
-
2020 draft picks have been added to the roster sheets, but can not be used in trades until after the conclusion of the draft.
- The new roster limit (65 players total) will go into effect at the end of the draft. Newly drafted players will not count towards the total until the new limit goes in. In other words, don't worry about shuffling players around to fit your draft picks in if you're currently in compliance with the limit.
- Please make an effort to tag the next person after you've made your pick to help speed things along. This can be done on the boards or on Discord.
- Picks can be made in the Discord chat if necessary, but it's preferred that you make your picks in the thread to make it easier for everyone to follow along.
Best of luck to everyone!
