Can someone page @Asuna?

Can someone page @Asuna?

Im sure Fenway has. He was my notification mate in the last ATD baseball draft, and he never failed to notify me during the duration.

Oh, I know he did. That was more of a shot at Asuna.

Well his profile shows he was on today, earlier. So that's a good sign. Hopefully he checks in again.

@Mr Jiggyfly, please update me when you've picked.

I'm picking for @sarge88.

Didn’t have my phone with me. Was thinking about using my eight hour window to see if your head explodes having to wait...

Make others mad...

See KIRK’s head explode...

Juice is worth the squeeze!

Don't you dare . . .

@Mr Jiggyfly takes LeClair, so I'm stuck with LaFontaine. Oh well . . . @Honour Over Glory, per the PM I just sent to you, you're up.

 

[Shady Machine]

Good pick @KIRK. That was my next pick if he was still around.

 

[KIRK]

Thanks.

I see @Honour Over Glory has declared war on the Bruins fans among us.

 

[KIRK]

@Dr Pepper, I'm not sure if HOG got through, but I believe you're up (according to him).

 

[KIRK]

@Dr Pepper, great pick. Excellent puck mover and relatively underappreciated defenseman. I needed a C in round 7, but IF he'd fallen to round 8, I would've gone with him.

EDIT: Yeah, that took all of half a second for @td_ice to jump all over Weber.

 

[Winger for Hire]

I had Lowe and Weber lined up for my picks, but I decided I needed an elite type power forward to complete my top line first.

 

[td_ice]

Kevin Lowe was definitely a tremendous Defensive dmen for the Oilers dynasty. He really gave them stability. I like that pick.

This seems much harder than the baseball draft.

Still not sure why.

Might be because the positions and batting positions are much more defined in baseball ?

Probably because things get a lot less clear cut a lot more quickly.

 

[sarge88]

Yeah.

Much tougher to stick with a plan.

Plus more teams muddles things faster.

Honestly, after seeing how this went early, I decided-- and I may be 100% off-- that the best approach is to draft a core of like 8 players and then complement from there.

I think a lot of these players can play a couple of different styles, so there's a little flexibility too.

 

[KIRK]

Hey @td_ice, is it still page 1 where we can find the updated picks?

Obviously, if we see a few blank that we know picked just ahead, then we have to check the most recent posts for the most recent picks.

TBH....I started with one plan, but had to change when 2 guys I thought would be there in 2 and 3 weren’t.

Oh well...
Still lots of fun!
