Yeah... Nameless is usually pretty active.

VanillaCoke · Jul 30, 2015

I really didn't think the span between picks would be so long, 10 picks a day doesn't seem unreasonable. Usually only get half that.

I think sometimes we just get really unlucky with the timing, people work at different times and what not. We've had some fast days. Also sometimes people are discussing trades which prolonges it as well.

A good rule I've used in the past is no trades while you're on the clock. It creates some more time-pressure for trading off the clock, and speeds things up once someone is on the clock.

People circumvent it by drafting for others (i.e. draft player x and then I'll trade you) but we had people get burned doing that, and it stopped that practice pretty quickly.

Highly recommended.

Yeah I understand people aren't available all the time, I happen to have more freedom than that. But even if I'm busy I got a list of players I can just make a pick and edit the post later, which some people have done.

Doesn't need to be back to back picks every 5 mins but 6+ hours between is a little much.

Vankiller Whale · Jul 30, 2015

Or if you know you aren't available but are close to picking, send in a list with a name or three on it

nameless1 · Jul 30, 2015

Sorry.
Got busy.

Benning and I actually made the trade yesterday...
But we needed to make sure his guy is there.
I send a PM to Sedinery...
And Benning can pick...
If he so chooses.

DFAC · Jul 30, 2015

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

and dat Voracek extension

McHortton · Jul 30, 2015

Very pleased with my lastest draft choice. I was trying for so long to move up to try and get Couture or RNH , didn't seem like I was going to get a 1c phew.

Decent pick.
I honestly thought you had your eye on my choice.
:laugh:

I also PMed DanCloutiers5hole.
Have a safe drive.

BenningHurtsMySoul · Jul 30, 2015

So since I drafted Voracek at a 4.25 million hit he stays at that? I'm gonna be pretty pissed if I have to double that, I wouldn't have picked him otherwise

That was the last year of his contract...
So you are fine.
The cap hit will only change...
Next year.

nameless1 · Jul 30, 2015

I have a late third rounder (second last pick) that is available.
PM me if interested.

Ah, good ****. That really pissed me off for a second lol

I'm down to trade my third up for one of the next few picks if someone's interested. I'll throw in a later round pick

Yeah...
Contracts cannot be superseded by extensions in the NHL anymore.
They have to either be played out...
Or bought out...
Before new contract terms can come into effect.

Ainec · Jul 30, 2015

See, Voracek getting 8.25 AAV just makes your pick look good. I had him fairly high too.

But what the **** 8.25?! Thank god Crosby signed his 12 year 104M contract back in 2012

Great Pick , Nuge was my first choice . Still happy with Turris, perfect 2nd line centre on a good contract. I will pm next team

nameless1 · Jul 30, 2015

Good pick DanCloutiers5hole.
I actually wanted to draft him...
And I had hoped that he would still be available at the 17th spot.

Good pick.

Thx, skill wise there is some better players available in different positions but in the end his contract was to good to pass up
