ATD 2017 Draft Thread I

[tony d]

The draft will last 25 rounds. You must draft 2 goalies, 6 defensemen, 12 forwards, a coach and 4 extra picks.

Clock has started


2). The time windows will be tight but reasonable.
24 hour clock for round 1
then 12 hour clock for round 2
then 10 hour clock for rounds 3-6,
then 8 hour clock for rounds 7-14,
then 6 hour clock for rounds 15-20,
then 4 hour clock for rounds 21-25

One hour time window deduction for each skipped pick (two hour deduction for missing a 12 hour clock - leave a list), with a minimum 4 hour clock guaranteed regardless of deductions.

3). Full, unrestricted trading is allowed in this draft according to the following rules:

Link to the trade thread
Trading is to be reasonably fair and balanced and lopsided trades will need to be re-worked or dropped. This is at the discretion of the trade committee.
Each team may make up to 8 trades.
A submitted trade counts towards the maximum, even if it is vetoed (exception - first time GMs). Don't submit lopsided trades.
No more than 4 assets per team may be traded at a time.
Swapping all positions before the draft doesn't count as a "trade" for the purposes of the above rules.
Trading while on the clock is allowed. However, using your entire clock to openly shop a pick annoys your fellow GMs, so do it sparingly. If GMs abuse trading on the clock, a rule could be added against it

4). ADD/DROPS - At the conclusion of the draft, there will be a 7 day period for add/drops. All add/drops must be 1-for-1. Dropped players will NOT be eligible to be added by other teams.

5). At the conclusion of the draft, there will be a 10 day period for lineup assassinations. Assassinations will be divided by division.

6). Regular season rankings MUST BE VOTED ON by at least one GM (if the team is co-GM'd) per team. The penalty if not done is a potential lowering in the standings because each GM will rank his own team first. Co-GMs who both vote each get half a vote for the regular season rankings in their own division. Seedings will be hidden and the playoff matchups will be posted and tabulated by a 3rd party.

7). The playoffs will work according to the following format:
Round 1 Division Quarter Finals :Top 4 Seeds of each division face off 1v4 2v3
Round 2 Division Semi Finals: Winner of each previous matchup face against the other winner within their divison
Round 3 Conference Semi Finals: Winners in each conference face off
Round 4 Draft Finals: Winners of conference semi finals face off

Similar format will be in place for the 9 teams who fail to make the playoffs (bragging rights are on the line)

8). NO MENTIONING UNDRAFTED PLAYERS!!!

9). PM the next team after you have made your pick. THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL! To help with this below is a list of GMs click the link to pm

[Elvis P]

Thanks to all helping with this draft.

 

[Leaf Lander]

Sorry for the hold up

With the first pick overall the Toronto Maple Leafs proudly select

Number 4 Bobby Orr D

 

[BenchBrawl]

Sorry for the hold up

Number 4 Bobby Orr D

Somehow hoped you'd take someone else

Great choice for the 1st overall, as usual.

 

[ck26]

Oh crap, this already started?!!??!?

Willing to trade down if anyone wants to make me an offer, but for now I'll just take the greatest offensive force in hockey history and move this thing along.

Gretzky

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Someday there will be justice and Wayne will go #1 in the ATD.

 

[King Forsberg]

Someday there will be justice and Wayne will go #1 in the ATD.

One day. I get the reason Orr goes first and it's certainly great but I couldn't imagine passing on Gretzky if I had the chance.

 

[ck26]

Looks as if I also need a team name.

Amarillo Gorillas

In honor of the team in the old Central Hockey League. They played in Amarillo, Texas, about 6 hours west of Dallas. For those not familiar with the Texas Panhandle, yes, in the local twang, the name of the town rhymes with "gorilla."

 

[tony d]

If I got #1 in the atd I'd pick Gretzky over Orr. Hopefully next year I'll get #1

 

[VanIslander]

LL, is that the first time you've been 1st overall? You and I have been doing this since '04 and I can't recall you ever having that position.

That means your next picks are 50th and 51st overall.

(The bookies in Vegas are giving 12-to-1 odds that Leaf Lander will NOT pick a Leafs player in the 2nd or 3rd round. There are several that usually go around there, NOT in the 1st round).

 

[Leaf Lander]

I have picked first overall before but its been a while

 

[Iceman]

Good luck everyone!

Jim Robson Division is going to be brutal this year, glad I'm not in it.

 

[JFA87-66-99]

Alright guys usually I wouldn't make a trade like this but I really wanted to select my favorite player of all-time this year. Thanks Benchbrawl. The Pittsburgh Bankers are happy to select " the most talented hockey player to ever walk the face of earth, and in my personal opinion the greatest player of all time. This man needs no introduction I take "Mario Lemieux"

[King Forsberg]

First shocker of the draft. Less shocking than when Lemieux somehow fell to 8th a few years ago however.

 

[BenchBrawl]

First shocker of the draft. Less shocking than when Lemieux somehow fell to 8th a few years ago however.

That was hilarious.

 

[tony d]

Lemieux went 3rd in 2015, yeah the year he went 8th I sort of got the ball rolling there.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

First shocker of the draft. Less shocking than when Lemieux somehow fell to 8th a few years ago however.

It seems like every year I have a plan of one or two guys I'm going to take with my first round pick but then when my turn comes up there's someone still available that I thought would be gone and my whole plan changes, but that year when I got Lemieux at 8 was by far the most shocking

I doubt he ever falls so low again.

 

[Elvis P]

This is off the Mario topic and not disagreeing with anyone. Sometimes I'll think a guy fell and then I look at positions and think not really, guys just drafted the position they felt they needed at the time.

 

[Hawkey Town 18]

This is off the Mario topic and not disagreeing with anyone. Sometimes I'll think a guy fell and then I look at positions and think not really, guys just drafted the position they felt they needed at the time.

That's definitely true...and sometimes you just have a favorite player that you want to build around, which is fine if it's a small reach

 

[JFA87-66-99]

Lemieux went 3rd in 2015, yeah the year he went 8th I sort of got the ball rolling there.

How the Fxxx! did mario go 8th. I must of missed this draft.

 

[BenchBrawl]

How the Fxxx! did mario go 8th. I must of missed this draft.

The peak year of the famous "run of defensemen" where GMs were scared of not having a legit #1 D.

 

[ResilientBeast]

How the Fxxx! did mario go 8th. I must of missed this draft.

It was the no trade draft, so everyone wanted to make sure they go their #1D

 

[tony d]

I wanted to do something different but yeah given the chance to be 4th again I'd go with Lemieux.

Anyways I'm going to be gone most of the afternoon and possibly all night, my pick is 5 away we're not on a clock yet so I won't leave a list and if I do come up my pick will be in about 8:30 AM EST tomorrow.
