If i designate my keepers now can I go back and change it before the deadline if I need to (ie Patrick Kane)?

Yes.

Alright, then put me down for keeping Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Nathan MacKinnon.

 

[Avder]

With Kane the "dont punish the owner for the players off ice conduct" rule would apply. If Kane's legal problems aren't resolved you'd be allowed to drop him and later pick him up.

But you'd have to designate him as a keeper otherwise someone else could draft him and then get the benefit of that rule.

 

[Avder]

Just a reminder that October 1st is the deadline to declare your keepers. If you have not declared any by then, you won't be able to!

 

[FVM]

I'm keeping Benn, Bäckström and Rinne. Getzlaf is on the market, get your draft popcorn ready!

Also my team is now called The Larch. The Larch. I know how to recognize it from quite a long way away.

Oct 4 is draft day? Evening right

 

[Avder]

I think mid late afternoon so the finns can show up

I think mid late afternoon so the finns can show up

If there is any flexibility on time, the later the better, for me?

I'll be driving back to the cities from Alexandria that day. I'm going to try to be there on mobile, regardless, so, if it means screwing over the Finns just for my sake, it's not a big deal.

Just throwing it out there.

 

[Avder]

I'll look if you guys want but this close to the season I doubt I'll find many timeslots free

 

[DUMBA55]

Would 4 or 5 PM work for most?

 

[Avder]

I could bump it to 3:45pm Central Time if that's okay with people.

 

[FVM]

I'm fine with 3.45pm or 4.

 

[Vashanesh]

Works for me.

Dangit, the one weekend the Vikes play at 3:30...

I should still be here, but I certainly won't be focused, which for a rookie is not a good thing.

The draft wouldn't have been done by 3:30, even if it had started at 3, FWIW.

Yeah, no problem with time change, just late afternoon in general. I understand it needs to be in that time frame though.

 

[DUMBA55]

I'm cool w/ 3:45

 

[Avder]

How about you Finns? 3:45 work?

 

[Puhis]

How about you Finns? 3:45 work?

Yes.

 

[Avder]

Done.

Draft is Sunday, October 4th at 3:45pm Central Time.

Drafts work on mobile as far as I can tell. I've done a couple mocks on my iPhone's Yahoo Fantasy app, FWIW.
