0. You must create and keep your roster post updated during the draft to qualify for the playoffs. 1. I'm going anti-snake just for the third round.
2. Any player born after 1947 is eligible. Any coach is eligible.
3. The clock is 10 hours for the first 100 picks, 8 hours after that.
4. You must tag the GM after you.
5. Don't mention undrafted players.
6. The Commish has final say in any dispute.
7. If you're skipped, you're skipped until you're caught up.
8. Please use control F before you pick to make sure he's undrafted.
9. There will be 21 rounds. 12 forwards, 6 dmen, 2 goalies, and a HC.

1. (Any player who has 9 years NHL experience or 7 years NHL experience and is a HHoFer) and did not enter the NHL before the 1966-67 season is eligible.

I'm slightly amending rule #1. I don't want this to be a fantasy draft, but I want you guys to have access to the best players.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Lindstrom.

@Taluss If you mean Nick Lidstrom, he's gone. You need to use control F on the draft list to see if guys are gone and some of you guys including you need to start tagging the next GM. I'm not gonna pm the next GM anymore. The 10 hour clock is now in effect so check to see if you weren't tagged or pmed.

Control F doesn't work for shit

I do tag GM on discord when ik the person is more active there. I always do so.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

@LT Nice pick. He was #1 on my draft list.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

3x Norris in the Ray Bourque era, 3 cups, one of the best PKers of all time, easily the best right handed D of this time frame, absolute vicious SOB to play against.

Chris Chelios ...

@Kent Nilsson This is a great post that captures his personality in the last phrase very well (My Bobby Clarke was also an absolute vicious SOB to play against). Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a pic of Chris at Wrigley Field with "a friend" I like:

 

[Say Hey Kid]

If someone's clock expires, the next GM up doesn't need anyone's blessing to pick. If you feel your next clock may expire, you can pm your pick to the GM who picks after you (or any other GM) and post this fact and their name in the draft thread. The GM after you can't pick your player because you pick first.

 

[sarge88]

Erik Karlsson

@EdJovanovski

 

[Taluss]

@EdJovanovski

He's been tagged on Discord. His timezone is a few hrs behind so pick won't be for another hr or 2 I'd imagine.

 

[Panda Bear]

I've inspired Neely and Robitaille picks.

 

[LT]

@Taluss up

Is he not ineligible?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Is he not ineligible?

@LT All players born after 1947 are eligible.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Taluss has requested to be put on skip for today as he's busy with his Anniversary

@Dr Pepper is up

 

[Panda Bear]

Vladimir Konstantinov (R10) and Doug Wilson (R11) with my #9 back to back picks

 

[tony d]

Did I jump in line with my pick? I saw 2 [picks were made and went and picked. If you had wanted Arbour @Kent Nilsson I can repick.

Its ok

 

[Say Hey Kid]

H Sedin @Dr Pepper

I sent my next 2 picks to @Dr Pepper and @sarge88.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Thanks, guys. The list is updated. Goulet was the best LW available.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

The clock is now 8 hours.

 

[LT]

Minnesota selects Jere Lehtinen, RW

@Taluss

god dammit

I wanted a Brind'Amour - Lehtinen base for my 4th line

 

[Dr Pepper]

god dammit

I wanted a Brind'Amour - Lehtinen base for my 4th line

Well I wanted Bergeron - Lehtinen on my 3rd, so too bad.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

god dammit. I wanted a Brind'Amour - Lehtinen base for my 4th line

I meant to post that it was a very good pick.

 

[LT]

What is the standard protocol for playing forwards off their primary positions?

Mostly asking because LW is historically thin and especially so in this draft.

Wingers shouldn't play center. If you play a center at their correct handedness wing position they shouldn't be penalized. If you play a center at their wrong handedness wing position they should be penalized.

Wingers shouldn't play center. If you play a center at their correct handedness wing position they shouldn't be penalized. If you play a center at their wrong handedness wing position they should be penalized.

Got it. I'll use the current Dallas roster as a model then (each line has two "centers"/faceoff-men, one LH and one RH).
