[Shady Machine]

Of course the Pens fan drafts Mario first.

 

[Winger for Hire]

I wasn't entertaining any other option

 

[Asuna]

now i have to draft gretzky. sigh.

 

[td_ice]

Picking 2nd was always a nice comfort zone, knowing you are gonna get either Wayne or Mario.


Now the third slot?, could be one of many different guys. Gonna be interesting.

Hi,

Just thinking that it might be helpful to edit your first post on this discussion thread and add the draft order, that way when we're discussing things here, we can refer to it without hopping between threads.

Here it is if you want to copy and paste it.


1. Winger for Hire--Gentlemen Bastards

2 . Asuna -- THICC JOHNSONS

3. Fenway--Boston Burping Zambonis

4. Mr Jiggyfly--KINKY KIRKS

5. sarge88--- The Squaw Valley Precursor

6. KIRK---THE SKATING JABRONIS

7. Honour over Glory----- Bjugstud Biggies

8. Dr. Pepper--Inglewood Jacks

9. td_ice-- The Fighting Fremen

10. TropicalFruitGirl2---Puck Time Pilots

11. BMC--Hab Hater

12. Shady Machine-- Doblett of Fire

Good idea sarge, will do.

EDIT: DONE......OP has the draft order, for easy finding.

 

[td_ice]

Just a reminder, when making your pick, BOLD the player's name and position, as such....

C--Wayne Gretzky

Thanks.

Friday, that's a bit too early. We have a few people in the league that couldn't start this week, which is part of the reason for the Feb. 11 start. So knowing what they have going on, I don't want to jump ahead too much.

Especially with BMC and TFG2, just joining. They are still absorbing all the info.

We will stick with Monday at 8am official clocking, and Sunday at 8am EST, for unclocked start. (if you wanna make your pick late Saturday night, that would be fine. We can all wake up Sunday morning and see who is the first player chosen.

I believe I understand the rules, so I am good.
I see we already started on the other threads, I am ready with my team name/logo/and team positions on the Rosters Thread.
Now just going over all time players from reference sites, and from what I can remember.

@Fenway

Hey Fenway,

Player cannot have played before 79-80

Gotta pick a different player.​

 

[sarge88]

Just took Bourque and PM’d KIRK.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Now we're cooking.

That's a lot of Penguins going in the early round 1

 

[Dr Pepper]

Friendly reminder to send a PM to the next GM, as soon as you make your pick.

 

[td_ice]

I'll be making my pick within next 30 minutes.

 

[KIRK]

I'll be making my pick within next 30 minutes.

I'll alert the media.

 

[td_ice]

I'll alert the media.

Danka.

 

[td_ice]

Pick in, roster updated, notice to next up sent.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Are we using the trapezoid in our "simulation"

 

[td_ice]

Are we using the trapezoid in our "simulation"

Yes.

 

[Winger for Hire]

Then you overreached for Marty

 

[td_ice]

Then you overreached for Marty

 

[KIRK]

Maybe @td_ice likes Uncle Daddy for personal reasons?

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

I'm about to place my pick guys...as was suggested, will put in my pick, then do my write up later in the day, however, the next person up is team Hab Hater...is that his actual screen name? If not, how do I alert him he will be on the clock next?

Anyways, hopping over to the picks threads to put in mine.

Oh...and damn you two GM's who selected Yzerman and Hasek before I could get ahold of them!!

EDIT: Nevermind...I see that it is BMC. I can alert him then.

 

[td_ice]

Hab Hater is team name.

BMC is poster name.

@BMC

 

[td_ice]

Maybe @td_ice likes Uncle Daddy for personal reasons?

Hahaha.


Only when position scarcity trumps BPA.

Over our near 40 year time factor , there's tons of great goal scorers, not many great G's. As the sheer number of forwards to goalies would bear that out.

Didn't want the music to stop before I got my chair.

 

[KIRK]

Same issue with defense as discussed.
