ATD 2011 Draft Thread X

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Al rollins played in the 1954 game without being an all star the previous season. So it wasn't strictly based on the postseason all stars.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

This one may be a little off the board, but this is a player who can do a couple of things at the elite level so I think he makes an excellent spare.

What if I told you that the player currently leading the NHL in PIM is still available? And what if I told you that this player was currently 4th in the NHL (among players with over 1000) with a faceoff winning percentage of 57.5%?

that's right, he's available. I'm absolutely thrilled to get him. I'm surprised no one has taken him as a fighting/faceoff specialist yet:

Zenon Konopka, C

A ''little'' off the board?

Almost half the teams are down to one hour, lol. We definitely need to tweak things next time.

At this point in the draft I really don't mind having only a one hour clock. It's kind of crazy to see players I wanted to draft 200 picks earlier still available.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Too many one hour clocks make it tough to figure out whose turn it is though

 

[jarek]

I'll make it easy for you:

858. markrander87 - Cincinnati Fireworks - ON THE CLOCK UNTIL 4:12 PM EST

859. DoMakc - Detroit Red Wings - HAS 3 HOURS

860. Thatguy17 & SaltyStyle7 - Vancouver Velocity - TO BE AUTOSKIPPED

861. Rick Middleton & Sturminator - Gwinnett Gladiators - HAS 2 HOURS
862. arrbez & vecens24 - Inglewood Jacks - HAS 4 HOURS
863. MadArcand - Hartford Whalers - HAS 3 HOURS
864. Mr Bugg - Kimberley Dynamiters - HAS 1 HOUR

That's until my pick.

 

[EagleBelfour]

That I can very much agree. I'm happy I'm not the one trying to demystify this mess.

 

[Velociraptor]

Can I change my pick? I realized I didn't have my list in order!

If I can, I'd like Cully Dahlstrom, C if not I'll stick with who was listpicked.

 

[DaveG]

Done.

damn, ctrl+F failed me on that one somehow when we made up our list early this week, I had a nice bio I was making up too

Garnish Phantoms select C Cliff Ronning

and yes, Ctrl+F didn't show anything for that one

 

[markrander87]

The Fireworks select their backup G Gerry Mcneil

Can somebody please pm the nest GM, I am currently elbows deep at work.

Thanks

McNeil starred with the Montreal Royals of the Quebec Senior Hockey League, earning the best goals against average in the league in both 1945-46 and '46-47, being named the first team all-star in 1947, '48 and '49 and was chosen the league's most valuable player three years consecutively?1947, 1948 and 1949 as well.

He was summoned to the Montreal Canadiens full-time in 1950-51 when Bill Durnan retired, playing every minute of every game in his rookie season. McNeil backstopped the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup finals against Toronto in 1951 and Detroit in 1952, but it wasn't until the 1952-53 season that he was able to lead the Canadiens to his own Stanley Cup. That same season, he was selected to the NHL's Second All-Star Team.

Towards the end of the 1953-54 season though, McNeil lost his starting position to a young superstar named Jacques Plante. But when the Canadiens were faced with elimination by Detroit in the 1953-54 Stanley Cup finals, Plante was pulled by coach Dick Irvin in favour of the veteran McNeil, who promptly won the next two games to force a seventh game.

[seventieslord]

I read his name, thought "huh, probably a European player I've never heard of. Wait, he's currently leading the NHL in PIM's? *flashback to Canucks board discussions about fourth line C trade candidates*. Wait, what the hell, isn't this the Islanders fourth line center? Is seventies THAT confident in his team that he's throwing picks like this...maybe he's drunk. No, pick made this morning...hungover then....oh, it's April Fools."

And that's the "cool story bro" moment for today.

i do not have a 3 hr penalty

i missed my clock once

Nope, you definitely missed it three times. There were two other times you came in here and picked after your clock had expired and you just didn't know that it had.

Yes, the deadlines are too short. We will work on that next time.

 

[Hedberg]

seventies had edited the first post to give Dahlstrom to Velociraptor, so I guess the change is official.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

If we do still do 40 teams next time, I think it should be a 6 hour clock to the end, but a 2 hour penalty for missing an 8 or 12 hour clock early on.

 

[jarek]

I have a list for EB's next two picks.

 

[DoMakc]

The Red Wings select Kenny Jönsson, D.

are you running this draft

this is the first that i have been made aware of a penalty so unless it is official and published in the main draft board it doesn't count.

 

[EagleBelfour]

It's my 7th draft and we always had penalties for GM missing their clock. You were penalize more than once in the past

 

[jarek]

Sturm takes Evgeni Nabokov. Someone PM arrbez and vecens.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

It's been on the main draft board. Penalties are listed at the bottom of the OP and have been all draft

 

[jarek]

Nabokov is a solid choice. Excellent regular season goalie. I had considered taking him over Kerr.

 

[TheDevilMadeMe]

Dammit, nabokov was my backup plan for backup after John Ross Roach. Figured sturm might take him.

You want to keep nabby planted on the bench in the playoffs, but he's a good regular season backup for sure.

 

[Leaf Lander]

It's my 7th draft and we always had penalties for GM missing their clock. You were penalize more than once in the past

I missed my clock once last pick before my most recent pick

for it to be official it needs to be published and not in some gm's secret back pocket in his underwear

 

[jarek]

2). The time windows will be tight but reasonable.

12 hour clock for the first two rounds, (shortlists PM'd to me highly encouraged here)
then 8 hour clock for rounds 3-8,
then 6 hour clock for rounds 9-18,
then 4 hour clock for rounds 19-25

One hour time window deduction for each skipped pick with a minimum 1 hour clock guaranteed regardless of deductions.

This has not changed since the beginning of time. LL, sorry, but you have no argument here.

 

[Leaf Lander]

there is no record published on the front page = doesnt count


if you do it your way anyone could end up with 2 more missed clocks

because if you look at dreams post he said i already had a 3 hr penalty

so does that mean i missed my clock 3 times already and if that is true why do i not have a 4 hr penalty
