Hey, I'm gonna be out of town for a week, so the Blackhawks are up for grabs

I wouldn't worry about it... at the rate we're going, you'll be back in town before the Hawks get around to picking again.

PM me when you're back in town, and I'll hold the Hawks' GM slot open for you. If you like, I'll make your selections at the top of the fourth round if you're not back yet. I'm sort of a "closet" Hawk fan, being from Illinois and all that -- just waiting for Dollar Bill Wirtz to clutch his chest and pass the team on to someone who gives a crap and lives in the 21st century.

Minnesota's still on the clock, and have been since 10:30 last night...

Macht schnell, bitte...

[Prussian_Blue]

OK, folks... Minnesota's been on the clock for almost 36 hours with no pick, and no response to my PM last night.

The highest-ranked guys left on the board are Blake Geoffrion (LW, USNTDP) and Jonas Ahnelov-Pihl (D, Sweden).

I vote for Geoffrion to be assigned to Minnesota so we can move forward. Any other votes, please get 'em in right away.

Thanks,

P_B

We should try to get the GM's together in a chat and try and bang the rest of this off. It takes almost a week to get through half a round. Is everyone starting to lose interest?

We should set a date and time that is reasonable for the majority and finish the draft. For the GM's that do not show we will re-assign there team to someone that will be there for them.

What do you think?

select Semen Varlamov

It is taking forever, but you're never goint to agree on a time that everyones happy with. I mean for me, i'm in England so doing it early evening is middle of the night over here.

My thoughts exatly (minus the England part). The best solution is to make the time slots shorter in the next few rounds, say 4-6 hours, and have people send in lists ahead of time if they wont be around ot make a pick.

I like that idea, and I like Wonder Boy's suggestion of doing it "live" by chat as well...

Let me kick it around for a while, and I'll get back to you guys.

Meanwhile... nice pick by . I'm surprised Varlamov fell this far.

are on the clock. I'm assuming they've been notified...

Thanks,

WOW, this is the second time in a row the guy i was going to pick went the pick RIGHT before mine.

The Los Angeles Kings select, with the 75th overall pick, 6'4'' 187lbs slovakian center from Kosice of the Slovakian Junior League, Tomas Marcinko.

Marcinko has the size and defensive awareness to be a very "safe" pick. He is a solid twoway player, and an effective penalty killer. However he proved he could offensive player by getting 27 goals and 48 points in just 38 games in the Slovakian Junior league.

Atlanta is on the clock

I like the idea as well. Trouble with that will be getting everybody on at the same time as Lundqvist#30 said. I think if you can find a time when most people would be on, everybody else could send a top list for each pick to P_B(or if u need to send a list to somebody else that will be on if you r a few picks after P_B). If all on the list r gone, a vote would be taken. Just an idea.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are pleased to select, from Frolunda in Sweden. D. Jonas Ahnelov

 

[Prussian_Blue]

The St. Louis Blues are pleased to select, from Moose Jaw of the Western League, center Riley Holzapfel.

Tampa Bay is on the clock.

Now I'm going to have to go back to the board. I was hoping he'd last a few more picks.

 

[Jeffrey]

Tampa bay selects:
D Derrick Lapoint USHSW Eau Claire North

Nice pick - I figured he was going to be gone before too long.
