Anyone want to take a crack at what the draft order looks like (considering the complicated new system)?

We know the bottom four teams will Florida, Columbus, St. Louis, and Vancouver in some order.

 

[Canuck09]

It changed again?

 

[Brock]

It changed again?

Just with the whole new standings process (with the playoff structure). Just makes it a bit more difficult to figure out.

Damn, coaching ball hockey playoffs with a 10:00AM start.

In a metal dome with no wireless signal.

Basically, a living nightmare.

At least you only have one pick on the first day, and that pick is going to be 29 or 30 in the round. Could be worse.

Gentleman, here is the current full draft order. Please double check for errors.

 

[Brock]

Just to bump this...here's an updated draft order.

Also, just making sure everyone is aware of this. Attending the draft this weekend, or sending a list is a requirement. Failure to do so will mean your removal from the league.

Also, as a heads up, day two draft lists will be due Wednesday at 3pm EST. So start your lists for those now so we don't have any issues.

That 10am schedules going to be tough for me to make luckly im picking late an we know how late the draft is worst case scenario my Co-GM will atleast do my first round pick if thats okay? Friend from bramptons coming down that weekend. So ill be drinking that night after getting off work at 11pm. Ill be there for the draft but worst case ill have my co draft if thats okay?

You can also trade that 1st round pick to me for the 62nd and 67th picks. I guess you should make it in time for the 3rd round..

More than fine to have Joe draft for you, just need to make sure the team is represented by someone at the draft or a list to Brock.

 

[Ohio Jones]

The secret is not to go to sleep - just keep drinking at the way through to (and during) the draft!

Am I mistaken in thinking that in years past that we had a few hours after the completion of the first three rounds to regroup and make lists based upon who was still available? I may be totally off on that count. I don't want to miss a player who has fallen out of Day 1 based upon my inability to know who makes it out. I'm working on putting a list together right now.
