Great stuff, as usual, Brock.
Stoked that I got the top two guys on my list in Forsberg and Houser, not to mention USHL scoring champ Blake Coleman. Hopefully he isn't too much of a head case.
Quite pleased, as most people are given our priority lists likely differ so much. Kind of disappointed not to land Pageau, but that was a sentimental pick.
Did everybody end up with their top guys?
Normally I end up with guys way down my list. Here, Sorensen was my #11 on the list, and I got him with the fourth last pick in the draft. I had guys in my top 20 who went undrafted.
I wanted Pageau as well, even if I'm not convinced he'll play. It's just nice to have guys like that to cheer for.
Ummm ... I did send a list at 8:13 last night. I have re forwarded the e-mail and prey something can be done about it.
Edit: see the problem now. Like Dan I had copied from this original thread with the error in the e-mail addy (hotmai.com not hotmail.com). I did not get any bounce back on the e-mail so did not know there was a problem.
Using this list it doesn't look like my picks would cause much disruption given the instructions.
My picks would have been 4th (120) J.P. Anderson which the Ducks show as having in the 6th.
In the 7th there wouldn't have been any disruptions since no one took them would have/should be Brendan O'Donnell and Daniil Tarasov.

So you want J.P. Anderson, eh? Is this still about Martin Jones?
Lol, sleep is for the weak, huh Brock?
I know, curiosity demanded it of you.
EDIT: Shame to see DET and PIT were AWOL, any news there?
Iliked your Balisy pick. *******. :d
Very, very surprised Komarek was still on the board, and quite pleased to grab both Straight and O'Gara. Straight reminds me of previous Jackets draft picks like Potulny and Stepan. Hopefully he pans out as well. And Komarek I think is going to come out as one of the top players picked outside the first round - he was a big part of why I was trying to pick up the Leafs' 91st and 93rd overall. Glad now that trade didn't happen!
I haven't checked to see what impact it has yet but the DET 5th round pick was my property but listed incorrectly as belonging to Detroit still on the draft file. I had pointed it out in the other thread but guess it didn't make it to the main file Brock used.
EDIT: Looks like Bunz was up next as I wanted a goalie at that position, who was conveniently selected by the Panthers. I see what happened here...
EDIT EDIT: This would change my 7th round pick as well. I hoped for a goalie at the DET 5th pick then the top player left on my list in the 7th. There are a few players that went undrafted, top one being Jonatan Nielsen who I had 12th on my list. Depending on what happens with that 5th round pick would this be able to be changed as well?

but I went through the trade log (which has everything for the past few years) .... There seem to be a few errors on the prospect page ....I talked to Ryan Yessie about how his prospect page says he owns 4 4th's, but he actually only owns 3. Some stuff appears to have gotten mixed up somehow.
Are you positive you own that pick Jeff? I noticed in your instructions that you had stuff for that DET 5th, but I went through the trade log (which has everything for the past few years) and couldn't find any record of you acquiring that pick. There seem to be a few errors on the prospect page in regards to the owning of certain picks, so I chalked it up to that. I talked to Ryan Yessie about how his prospect page says he owns 4 4th's, but he actually only owns 3. Some stuff appears to have gotten mixed up somehow.
But in the instructions Drew sent to me, he doesn't have anything for that pick, so I'm inclined to believe you.
The whole draft is going to have to change now pretty much. I can honestly say that as of right now, this will be my last year doing it. Just too much chaos, not enough following instructions, convoluted instructions and it takes up way too much time. Especially when you have to do it twice, like I've had to the past two years.
This is going to take a while so the "new" draft likely won't be up until later today when I've got some time to look at it and I get home from work.

Wrt to the DET 5th it hasn't been mine for quite some time. It's funny you mentioned the possibility of a mixup b/c when I noticed it gone earlier in the year I couldn't remember having traded it but I never questioned it (figured the memory was just going) so it's all moot and it's Jeff's pick as far as I'm concerned. I hadn't even noticed the draft order showing that 5th as mine for some reason.
I'm sorry this has caused so much headache.
I sent you and Matt (for confirmation) the trade email from a year or so ago. It's listed wrong on the trade blog that's why you couldn't find it.
