I'm running a hockey pool for the world juniors on here for the 6th consecutive year. I've invited back the 9 returning players from my pool last year. 8 of them have accepted the invitation. While Paajarvi18 has not responded as he's not been on HF since the site migration. However I've received a request to joint the pool so only alternate spots are available. An alternate 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 an 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 as early as Sunday. I will generate a random list 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(Start a conversation with) the next GM to inform them it's their turn to pick. Some posters get email notification of a new PM(Conversation) so they can come on HF quickly and pick. Some who are on HF will notice they have a new PM(Conversation) 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.

Ok I think that's it. You may post now. Only alternate spots available. If anyone knows of a way to contact Paajarvi18 let me know

Paajarvi18, I noticed you had not visited HF boards since the site migration. Which is why I was unable to contact you. Given the timing I thought maybe you had lost access to your account which I know happened to someone else. If you have just been browsing HF or using it under a different account I just wanted to give you a chance to see this thread and get your spot back. If you're here under a different username, or without access to your old account please let me know by posting in this thread, sending me a conversation, or tweeting me @JAnstey04

Nothing from Paajarvi, so landy92mack29 will take his spot, I've randomized and we're ready to begin

I'll take the risk and assume he gets released. Alex Nylander

Pming next.
I was wondering who was going to pull the trigger on Alex. After re-reading that initial Tweet from Botterill, I'm not so sure that release is coming.

I would have been willing to take that risk at 3rd overall if my other 2 guys went first(which they didn't).

Lehner hasn't been online since early Friday morning. So he wouldn't even have got my conversation saying we're starting Sunday yet. Hopefully he checks in sometime soon.

I still think he is. Especially with the WJC in Buffalo. Botterill sounded pretty open to it weeks ago. He still isn't doing great in the AHL and could use a confidence boost if he was a top performer in this tournament like he did in the past. I was hoping nobody would take the risk till the 9th pick :D

I never thought about the fact that the tourney was actually in Buffalo this year. That probably helps the cause.

Guys please refrain from mentioning players not yet drafted. It could impact future decisions. It's bad draft etiquette. If you want to say something about a particular player, wait until after they are picked(like Statsy did when Nylander got picked).

Also I won't be on much longer tonight, but as is the norm don't skip Lehner this early if 12 hours pass. Push comes to shove we can find someone else or auto-pick if he doesn't show up tomorrow either. Missing a 1st round pick would put a team so far behind the 8 ball.

That was quick, got someone willing to be an alternate. But I'd like some opinions from the rest of you guys on what we should do

1. Wait some more(I'd rather not)

2. Replace Lehner now

3. Let the alternate pick for Lehner for now, and if it gets back around to Lehner's pick again without Lehner showing up replace him permanently then.
