[LT]

I'd be down.

 

[MackAttack26]

Same here

 

[OB5]

Anyone else?

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

I could be in.

 

[PaulBissonnette]

hi

 

[LT]

Only 5 so far. Yikes.

 

[OB5]

Summers are slow I guess

 

[MackAttack26]

Yeah not many people on the board, especially checking this forum, mid-summer.

The only way you get a game up and running is if it is a 10-15 GM type game.

Even then you would probably have to send out some messages.

 

[PaulBissonnette]

We could do a really cool fantasy draft and have like 8-10 super stacked teams?

 

[PaulBissonnette]

Or do something similar to that but have each user drafting 2 separate teams as well

 

[OB5]

Or maybe if we have such a small group we do like an ELC fantasy draft? That’s interesting

 

[Kent Nilsson]

ELC fantasy draft sounds cool

 

[OB5]

So we’re at 6! I do like ELC fantasy draft. Thoughts?

 

[LT]

Sounds fun to me

Basically we just draft players on ELCs (including current RFAs?)?

 

[OB5]

Sounds fun to me

Basically we just draft players on ELCs (including current RFAs?)?

Maybe we cap it at players entering their final elc year not players who have finished their elc? Grey area there with stars like marner, rantanen boeser etc waiting for deals. Maybe we keep it even and go all players who entered 18-19 with an ELC are eligible?

@Joey Moss

@hi

 

[Joey Moss]

Sure I could join

 

[OB5]

Can try some recruiting tomorrow. Think 10 is a good number?

 

[LT]

8-10 sounds fine.

 

[OB5]

@SJSharks39
@Retinalz
@Joel Ward
@Peter Griffin

Interest?

 

[BoardsofCanada]

I am interested

 

[OB5]

So we have 8. Should we wait a little longer?

Do we want to do a full team of 12 F, 6 D, 2 G or is the pool too small?

Capfriendly had about 650 players on ELCs last year which definitely covers us.

 

[MackAttack26]

I'd say full team.

Also I would wait a bit to see if we could get 10, but if not go ahead with 8.

 

[OB5]

No rush here, let's see if we can get to ten and then we'll start it up. With only ten we can get it done quickly.
