As the first poll was created and I think most had voted before the Father's Day question came up, how about a new multi-choise poll open for 48 or 72 hours?
The poll would have the option to mark every starting time possible during the two days? The timeframe would be from the morning of Saturday(EST) to late evening Australian time on Sunday with 2 hour intervals. The time getting most votes would be the one that the draft is held on.

Im afraid that if we do that and have several choices to pick from, each category would only end up with 0-3 votes because the opinion would be so spread out. If we have a poll like that, we ought to give the voters the capability to select several choices - i.e. check all times that would work for them instead of one selection that works best.
If you read my post again, you might notice that is exactly the type of poll I was talking about:

I'll put an end to this. It's not my personal preference, but we'll move forward with holding the draft on the 17th at 10 AM EST (GMT -5:00).
guys,
just checked in real quick.
i started the thread but only as a communication. i say we go with the results of the poll and thats that. no time will work for everyone no matter what.
besides, i dont want matt to have the draft stolen from him over my post.
just my two cents, now I am back to the ****** beer and stinking hot weather.
good bye from Guangzhou!
I'm not to sure that 2pm on Saturday time would work well for me as I've just found out that I have got a baseball tournament that weekend now. The Sunday would be fine still for me because I don't expect us to make it to playing on the Sunday anyway. I should get the tournament schedule soon to figure it out fully. But I'd prefer to stick with the Sunday the 17th.

I will very likely not be there for the start of the draft, so everyone who wants to participate better gets his password for the chat... the sooner the better...
10AM EST? That would be 1600 Swedish and Austrian time right?
I dont remember if I have created a password, can you help me Tony?

Just curious - why is Edmonton obvious? Are Matt and Andrew in teh same area these days?
Also, do we know the status of San Jose? Last I heard, Dave was stepping down, but I don't know if a replacement has been identified. Was Dave going to run the draft as a swan song? (Or better yet, stick around?)
It's also an issue for Free Agency, since Dave has at least two major pending UFAs, and an incoming GM might want the chance to lock them up before July 1...
I think Tony may have been thinking about the Sharks, but I could be wrong.
