So 7 teams left for drafting. We don't need Seattle's GM until after the draft anyways. We will start the clock on Monday and I will let people take on 2 teams if needed (You have to give your 2nd team up if someone wants to join). I'll also post the google sheet with draft order and rosters tomorrow. Draft can start with no time limit once I do that.

Anyone who would like to take on one of the available teams as a second team can do so.

Just remember if someone comes along and wants to take that team you'll have to give it up.

 

[Joey Moss]

I posted the full draft board in the draft thread.

PHI, NYR, NSH, ANA, ARZ need GM's.

Feel free to take another team, I'm not expecting many more people to sign up before we start.

Is it too late to switch to Seattle?

 

[Joey Moss]

No, if you'd like Seattle that's perfectly fine. Just keep in mind you won't have much of a role in this until the draft is over.

That's fine. It seems like it will have more fun after the draft

Looking at the previous gm game, trading was allowed with other teams. I thought that might be cool, and would definitely help if you realise that you have a far stronger offense than a defence, and you can trade a forward for a defensemen with another team.

IDK, just my 0.02.

The thing I don't like about trading in these is someone always gets fleeced and it's often the reason someone ends up winning. I'll think about allowing it after the draft but right now I'd prefer to just have it with Seattle at the end. It also makes the draft go more smooth.

It appears as though both my computer and phone are having issues loading the google doc.

Is this just a problem I am having or are others as well?

Same with me.

I would be down to take a team in the west.

Anaheim preferred since that division looks pretty weak tbh

How can you tell? Most teams haven't even made one pick yet.

Go ahead and take Anaheim.

Not worried about you in the div when you can’t fleece rookies in trades.

 

[OB5]

I think we should allow trades but there has to be some kind of approval process to avoid what is clearly an issue

 

[MackAttack26]

I am good with a no trades game for once. Makes you think more strategically while drafting on what position you need and gives everyone a balanced playing field instead of finding a GM or 2 to rip off. JMO.

 

[DanCloutiers5hole]

For those that are new to these mock drafts and want trades I totally understand your reasoning why , it can make the draft more fun, interesting , and realistic. With that said though I’ve done several of these with Joey and others over the years and honestly trading is more of a hindrance then help. It tends to slow down the draft and leads to mistakes and arguments. In fact one draft was folded due to such issues . No one wants to be the guy that’s getting harassed for making a bad deal . Take this for what it’s worth, just my honest opinion.

 

[Joey Moss]

Yea I'm pretty firm on no trades during the draft. I want to see how it plays out. Every other draft has trades and there always seems to be some sort of issue at some point. I think it will make the teams much closer as well.

 

[Joey Moss]

No one else wants one of these open teams? I don’t really want to draft for 5 teams.

 

[McMozesmadness]

I can take another team.

 

[McMozesmadness]

I’ll take the Rags.
