I will try to get things set up by the end of the night. If everyone is ok with it, I want to merge 2017 with the misc draft because most teams are already filled out and don't believe anyone wants to rebuild. If someone wants the 2017 draft separate, speak up and I will keep it and just run 4 drafts tomorrow.

I'm fine with it being a Misc. draft and just including 2017 (and 2018?) draft picks. IMO there are only two players from both 2017 and 2018 that might get selected.

Could maybe even merge 2016 draft, but I'm definitely fine with merging 2017 at least.

There's also been a distinct lack of trades...

I'm not opposed to this either. Maybe make 2016, 2017, 2002-and-before, and undrafted players all a 4-round draft. There just aren't a ton of players from any of these (except maybe undrafted) that will make any of our rosters.

Yea a very rare game with no trades... I feel that because there are no rebuilders, no one is trading players for prospects and it is also really hard to get a real hockey trade with both parties agreeing

Looking to move down in 2015 for an upgrade on defense.

I thought trading was just picks for picks. I didn’t realize we could do player trades or else I would have been way more active on that front.

PS. Even though the clock starts tomorrow for 2015, 2016, and misc drafts, can we make selections now if we are #1?

Forwards available for Defense help (preferably left handed, but if the value is right, its not a deal breaker)

Last call for offers on 2nd overall in 2015. Will make the pick in 10-15 minutes.

Considering trading 1st overall misc pick

Need defenseman (ideally left handed) and RW. Have lots of centers.

Probably done with my team. Rest of my picks will be prospects and/or spare parts.

I am open to hockey trades, however. I'm especially looking to better my bottom four defenders, and would be willing to downgrade on a forward or two in order to do so. So if you need forward depth for a downgrade in a defender, hit me up.

With everything wrapping up, I would like to thank everyone that participated! It was amazing how we flew through those drafts in a weeks period, I was not expecting that. If your team is completely finished and you don't need any more players, you can write in the specific draft thread that you will be forfeiting your picks and you will be automatically skipped.

As for the schedule moving forward, I want to make tomorrow and maybe Monday a trading/finish up/post roster day(s). Once everyone has posted their final roster. Everyone will vote for the best six teams that could win the Cup next year and the best two teams that could win the Cup in 10 years. If there are no rebuilders, I might do the top 8 teams and then we can do a minny knock out tournament to see who is the best. The final matchup will probably go into the main voting boards. I will make everything clearer when it's time to vote.

Won’t be around much of tomorrow if at all so I guess I’ll just finish my team. I tried to focus on two way play with dynamic offensive players lik Kopitar, Kane, Keller, Kuznetsov, etc.

Jonathan Marchessault-Anze Kopitar-Patrick Kane
Viktor Arvidsson-Evgeni Kuznetsov-Matt Duchene
Rickard Rakell-Jordan Staal-Cam Atkinson
Nick Foligno-Bo Horvat-Clayton Keller
Christian Dvorak, Tyler Toffoli

Hampus Lindholm-Brent Burns
Ivan Provorov-Sami Vatanen
Jared Spurgeon-Jonas Brodin
-Alex Edler

I also want to cap rosters at 23 players so you can get 2 extra forwards and 1 defenseman and no other extras. If/when you post your rosters make sure they are fully updated on the Roster thread and if you want, you can post here. We should all reference the roster thread when voting instead of trying to search through pages on this thread to find whos team is the best.

So basically the trade deadline is Monday late afternoon/night?
Yea lets make trade deadline and roster updates at midnight EST Monday night. Then we can do voting and stuff Tuesday. If all rosters and completed before then, we can just go straight to voting.
