Armchair GM Draft, 2019 (Discussion Only)

[Shady Machine]

I'm just making shit up as I go.

 

[KIRK]

You've only had to change once?

 

[Winger for Hire]

In terms of difference between this and the baseball ATD, the biggest difference in playing style really factors into things.

In baseball you can get by with 9 power hitters in a lineup or a rotation of all flame throwers. In hockey it makes a difference if you have nothing but snipers or just playmakers.

Individual player style makes a big difference

Put in my pick.
Went for The Dino... @BMC is up next!

 

[KIRK]

Bravo TFG

 

[Shady Machine]

Nooooooo

 

[Winger for Hire]

Well, poop

 

[KIRK]

@Winger for Hire you had a heck of a run, not just at #1 but also early getting your guys.

Well, now welcome to OUR world.

 

[td_ice]

I'll be shutting it down in about 5 minutes. So if any picks are made after 11:30PM, EST tonight. I will get them in the morning.

The board is updated to TFG2's pick of Dino C.

Thanks for keeping things in order.

Much appreciated!

That's why you're the best in the business . . . or something.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Man I am just worried about my next pick being taken.

I'm just making **** up as I go.

How I get by with everything in life including this draft.

If you PM me your next pick, then I can help make sure it happens . . .

Obviously Matt Cooke.

Don't kill me Bruins fans I'm just an ass. And I'm just kidding.

 

[Shady Machine]

Has anyone told @BMC that she's up next?

 

[td_ice]

Has anyone told @BMC that she's up next?

Yeah, TFG2 notified her.

 

[td_ice]

This is the last pick of the 12 hour window.

So @Shady Machine you are eligible to make your pick at 10:36am.

Once you pick, your 2nd pick will be 8th round. And the start of 8 hour window.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Has anyone told @BMC that she's up next?

Good Morning everyone (assuming no one here is in Europe or Asia that is....in that case, Good Afternoon or Evening)!

Yes, I tagged her in this thread and via PM as well. I suspect we will see her make her pick soon enough.

 

[td_ice]

If BMC is skipped, she is skipped till she returns.

Which would put @TFG2 OTC after Shady.

And would give BMC 2 picks to make upon her return.

If either GM wants to concede time to BMC, they can, but are not obligated to do so.

I'm happy to concede time, but not sure when she will return. I have access to computer all day, so should be fine to hang around.

 

[td_ice]

Up to you Shady.

The most I usually have conceded time in such situations was one hour. It's always a balance of not wanting someone skipped, but also not holding up the draft for everyone else.

Okay cool. I will make my pick at 12pm EST.

I'd be willing to concede time.
I know it probably won't be popular, but I'd give her till at least early evening to make her pick (maybe 5 or 6pm'ish...going by td_ice's time perhaps).

I think that should be more than enough time from when she was tagged to make a selection.
Probably just got wrapped up with everyday stuff....believe me I know that happens.... I fell behind on write ups, and just jumped in to make picks just to keep things moving... lol

Anyways, I do have my pick ready to go (assuming no one steals my guy...haha), so when she makes hers, then Shady, then myself, things will probably pick up right away again.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Just saw your post as I finished mine above.
Ok, if you are going to pick at 12 EST, then I will as well, since we are all so close to each other pick wise (I prefer NOT to hold things up if I can help it), and like TD said, she can make two picks in succession when she does get back.
