MXD and I will form one team if he's still up to the challange

 

[God Bless Canada]

I know this will surprise a lot of people, but I will not be participating in the next minor league draft. I don't have a lot of interest in hanging around HF in July, for one thing. For another, I'm on holidays in B.C. from July 14 to 23 (note to Lower Mainland GMs: we will have to make something work this time, day at Hastings Park, perhaps?). I'm the best man in a wedding, and I'm going to be swamped, between that and all the things I have to do. And I'm not likely going to have much time to prepare a list for a minor league draft. I'll be checking in from time to time, and I might be able to announce picks from time to time, but I won't be in the draft.

 

[Nalyd Psycho]

I'll be here, same schedule. But, said schedule is hell and as far as a minor league draft goes, Shawn Antowski might start looking appealing, so, no.

 

[God Bless Canada]

After consulting with my esteemed rival Murphy, we have decided to enter a joint team for the minor league draft. And our team will pay hommage to one of Canada's great old-timer hockey teams: the Estevan Strippers. (Named after the strip mining that exists in Southeast Saskatchewan, or so they say).

5 more teams

 

[shawnmullin]

I'm in. I could use the work on my researching skills.

We'll be the team with a relative brand new arena that was featured on Hockey Day in Canada just this past January. Jr B finalists this year the Nelson Leafs.

 

[VanIslander]

minimum 4 more teams...

 

[VanIslander]

If this is open to the general public, I'm in ...

sure! ... if you're willing to do the research and draft in a timely manner, no prob... we'll be selecting players from hockey history that were NOT selected in the all-time draft #7.

what'll be your team name?

 

[VanIslander]

I've been following ATD 3-7, so no worries there.

I'll be the Omaha Icebreakers. A gold star is in order if you get the reference ...

Hanson brothers references always welcome.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Boston Cubs here

I’d be interested, but I kind of have a weird schedule. What are the timelines for submitting picks. 12 hours, 24 hours?

hasn't been determined yet... do you mean, because you are in a different time zone? I'm in South Korea and I do well enough... or are you away from a computer for days at a time? you basically have to check your computer once every day to be able to do it, you could send a shortlist of two or three players when pick is approaching... the time window will not be any longer than 12 hours...

 

[vancityluongo]

I'd be interested in being a Co-GM with someone...I just don't have the time in July to be a full timer.

 

[kruezer]

VCL, I'll co-GM with you if you'll take me.

 

[VanIslander]

being a co-g.m can be interesting, with discussions via PM, weighing pros and cons, making lists, setting priorities or simply alternating decision making

 

[VanIslander]

PM him and together decide on a team name

 

[Spitfire11]

I have the time now, so might as well join

Windsor Bulldogs

Yeah. Normally it's not something I'd do, too much teamwork. And some might be surprised that I'd team with Murphy, considering we spent the last couple months talking trash about each other. But that's just banter between old friends. Truth be told, he's one of a handful of guys I'd probably be able to do this with, because we're pretty like-minded. Murphy, pit, maybe Spit and HO, are the only guys I could do it with.

 

[Murphy]

I'm just going to use the opportunity to mess with your head, any advantage I can get for next all-time draft I'll take........

I'm intrigued about this draft because there's absolutely no history to go back on. It'll all be pretty much from scratch.

In the last minor league draft, it was 12 hours, and after you missed a pick, it was six hours. In the last main draft, it was 9 hours after the ninth round.

My recommendation would be eight hours. Odds are good that if your pick is skipped, the guy you want will still be out there, even if several GMs pick before you get to your pick.

 

[pitseleh]

I start school again in a few weeks, so I should have some computer access. My team is TBA.

 

[VanIslander]

My recommendation would be eight hours.

8 hours sounds good... if you miss your pick just make it up ASAP... you could always send a shortlist to someone who'll be around if you suspect you might miss your window.

Its being away from my computer for awhile at a time. I wouldn't want to slow everyone down, so I guess I'll pass. However, if you guys need an extra judge at the end, I'll throw my hat in for that.
