WJC: 3rd Annual Hockey Pool - Updates On the Fly

[Canada4Gold]

I'm running a hockey pool for the world juniors on here for the 3rd consecutive year. I've invited back all the returning players from my pool last year, and they have all accepted the invitation. That means unfortunately no new entries will be permitted to join. However if someone wants to sign up, they can sign up as an alternate, and would take over for any member who is being tardy in the draft on multiple occasions. They were all fine last year so this is probably and unlikely scenario but it's the best I can offer.

As was the case last year, your team will consist of 6 forwards, 3 defensemen, and a goalie. Points are awarded for goals, assists, wins and shutouts only. Assists, or in an odd scenario goals by a goalie will count towards your score. You get 1 point per goal, 1 per assist, 2 per win, and 1 additional point for a shutout. That makes 3 point total if your goalie gets a shutout.

The draft will commence shortly after I finish getting everything prepared in this thread tonight. I will do a random draft of the 10 participants for the order, and the draft will proceed in a snake fashion, 1st pick in the 1st round, gets last pick in the 2nd round, 1st pick in the 3rd round, and so on. You will have 12 hours to make a pick. This clock will countdown around the clock. If you miss your pick you may be skipped. I'll be lenient on skipping picks in the first couple rounds because those are important, however if you take way too long I may be forced to do so, or autopick you a player. If your pick gets skipped, you may enter the thread and make a pick at any time afterwards regardless of how many picks have passed, but you should want to do so immediately because other posters are on the clock and may pick someone you want. For the purpose of keeping the draft going at a good pace, please make your pick if you know it's your pick and have time to do so. Don't wait around for hours thinking about it because you can.

If you know you won't be online for a while please PM me and list of who you'd like to select when your next pick comes up. For instance if there are 4 picks before you, you can PM me a list of 5 players, the highest guy I the list I will pick for you when your pick comes up. I will not look at your PM until it is your pick so as to not influence my pick, but please put something in the PM title making me aware that it is a list of players for potential pick so I won't look at it. If you're on the end of the snake and want me to use your list to make multiple picks please say so. I won't use your list for multiple picks unless you say so because maybe you wanted 1 forward and a defenceman but the top 2 guys on your list is a forward or something.

Once you make your pick, please PM other GM's to inform them it`s their turn to pick. Some posters get email notification of a new PM so they can come on HF quickly and pick. Some who are on HF will notice they have anew PM and come to their forum to pick.

If you pick someone who hurts themselves in camp. Doesn't get released to participate in the world juniors or doesn't get named to the team you can only replace these guys after the entire draft is complete. There will be a replacement draft at the end of the draft with picks in order which they were made in the draft. You can only replace players which you can show they won't be participating. You can't say, that was a crappy pick, I want to switch it, and get a replacement draft pick. You pick someone who's playing, you're stuck with them.

Ok, I think that's about it. Please don't post until I have 6 more posts made. And good luck.

* - replacement pick for Ekblad when AFTeRMaTH replaced Alivesi
** - Picked by leafsfan1990 before he was replaced by sjci
*** - Autopicked by UsernameWasTaken after 12 hour clock ran out
**** - Cut

 

[Canada4Gold]

OK, feel free to post. I'll get those 6 posts all in order, ready for the draft and then I'll post the order of the draft once I randomize it, and we can start. Since it's late at night I won't start the clock just yet. Whoever gets the first pick will have thieir 12 hour clock start at 8 AM ET tomorrow but may pick in the meantime anyway

 

[Canada4Gold]

Forgot to mention a couple things I will add to the OP.

Once you make your pick, please PM other GM's to inform them it`s their turn to pick.

Some posters get email notification of a new PM so they can come on HF quickly and pick. Some who are on HF will notice they have anew PM and come to their forum to pick.

If you pick someone who hurts themselves in camp. Doesn't get released to participate in the world juniors or doesn't get named to the team you can only replace these guys after the entire draft is complete. There will be a replacement draft at the end of the draft with picks in order which they were made in the draft. You can only replace players which you can show they won't be participating. You can't say, that was a crappy pick, I want to switch it, and get a replacement draft pick. You pick someone who's playing, you're stuck with them.

 

[Canada4Gold]

And I randomize the list

There were 10 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
1.Canada4Gold
2.Lehner
3.Alivesi
4.KanersMullet
5.HarveySpecter
6.leafsfan1990

[Canada4Gold]

and I get the first pick. That was lucky. Sort of. I'm not sure I want it with his injury and age and whatever but I feel like you have to pick him so here goes.

I select from Team Canada, Connor McDavid

 

[Lehner]

Ill take Eichel please.

 

[Snippit]

I'll sign up as an alternate, I guess.

 

[Halfy]

Somebody please make another one!!!!! I wanna be in one of these!

 

[Ari Gold]

Somebody please make another one!!!!! I wanna be in one of these!

With that many explanation points I think you should make one ?

Be a leader !

 

[Canada4Gold]

Alivesi was here about 2 hours ago, and read this thread as that's what his profile said he was viewing at the time, so it's kinda weird he didn't pick.

His 12 hour clock runs out in a hour and 13 minutes. But I'd rather not skip picks or autopick so I'll give him a little longer if he doesn't show

i pm'd him after my pick.

 

[Alivesi]

Ekblad

 

[KuralySnipes]

Please sign me up as an alternate.

 

[Ari Gold]

Ekblad

Ummm.. I don't think you understand how this works ?!?! Also thanks for letting me know I'm up... NOT...

Anyways....

I select from Team Canada Samson Reinhart.

 

[Canada4Gold]

i pm'd him after my pick.

yeah I PM'd him as well to notify him the pool was up and running but there he is anyway

Ekblad

Is Florida releasing him? I haven't heard anything.

 

[Halfy]

With that many explanation points I think you should make one ?

Be a leader !

Ya, I'm more of the pump up, motivation leader and not the lead by example guy.

 

[KuralySnipes]

Ya, I'm more of the pump up, motivation leader and not the lead by example guy.

OP gave me the blessing to make a pool, I'll do it sometime tonight if no one else does it before I start a thread.

 

[Ari Gold]

Is Florida releasing him? I haven't heard anything.

It doesn’t look like Team Canada can count on getting much, if any, NHL help for the 2015 World Junior Hockey Championship.

Defenceman Aaron Ekblad is playing so well, and so much, that the Florida Panthers have already decided he’s not going anywhere. That’s not a surprise to Canada’s national junior team or anyone else, but it’s probably the one that will hurt the most as Canada’s most glaring need may be for a top-pairing, right-shooting blueliner. (Kelowna’s Madison Bowey is probably the only one fitting that description right now.

http://www.tsn.ca/mckenzie-canada-shouldn-t-count-on-nhl-help-at-world-juniors-1.143055

Currently 11th in points for defenseman in the NHL, panthers said 2 weeks ago he wasn't going to be released.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Yeah, I just assumed that he wasn't going, which was why I was surprised by the pick
