Paulocaust posted:Not being able to discuss players also leads to poo poo like Andrew Ladd; franchise player, which is hilarious. Andrew Ladd got picked like 25th. If Zletters forgot there were better players than Andrew Ladd available at 25th, I dunno what to say.

ThinkTank posted:I don't have strong feelings either way, but defending a pick is half the fun. If people are seriously worried that a bunch of people on the internet will mock them for not choosing what others see as the best player in the forum nerd fantasy hockey game then they need to step away from their computers or phone, take a deep breath and really assess where they are in life. We're all participating in a nerd fantasy hockey game so we probably should assess our lives anyways. Either way I fully agree with Paulocaust. How hard is it to limit comparisons to players who were already picked and comment on the players you didn't pick when they actually get picked? The answer is not hard because that's what happened in the first thread and it worked just fine. e: and random.org is all you need for the draft order.

He might not have thought about it very hard and could have reconsidered his plan if there were a bunch of posts talking up Pietrangelo, Keith and Doughty before his pick. Let's not pretend we didn't forget about certain players in later rounds or that we're immune to being influenced.

Somebody needs to draft strictly based on Corsi so we can go into 200 pages of nerdrage about whether it's a meaningful stat.

Talk up a bunch of players to distract from the guy you actually have your eye on. It's not like everyone's going to be posting a long list of their potential targets every other post.

johnfw50 posted:This sounds like fun. I'll take the Kings. Welcome onboard! ANNNNND we done. Will have the order up shortly and we can get started. Tips and tricks for a successful draft 6 hours / pick during normal NA daytime-ish hours. If you don't have time to effortpost your pick, just post it quick and then when you do have time come back in and explain it (don't edit the original post, post a new one so it doesn't get missed). If you're European, dunno, we'll figure something out. Are you European and not named Rutkowski? Let us know. If you know you're going to be unavailable, and your pick is coming up, please PM me a list or email it to me at MYNAMEWITHOUT7hmdalyfrey@gmail.com. Alternately, post here and just say that you'll be back at x time. If you're going to be unavailable for a few days or a week or something let us know and we'll figure out the best way to handle it on a case by case basis. Maybe someone else picking for you, maybe a list, maybe you just skip and defer all your picks until you get back. Whatever. Please effortpost. Yes it's nerdy to get into really into a draft like this, but it's also what makes it fun. Update the google docs spreadsheet as you go. (uhhh, someone want to set one up? otherwise I'll do it tonight. I'll probably set up an excel sheet again as well.)

Cool, 22nd is nearly the opposite of the 7th spot that I picked in last time. I don't expect I'll get the same player in the first round either, but we'll see how many Andrew Ladds go in the top 20. e: Speaking of nerdy, now is the time for me to recall that I participated in a live fantasy draft in high school in ... 2000 or so? We ran a league using FHL and I fondly recall some annoying poo poo constantly spamming every about Wes Walz, as well as my franchise having elite youngsters like Janne Niinimaa, Sergei Samsonov and Jeff O'Neill.

If you want to do this, then I am down. Yeah, I understand not wanting to trade draft picks. After a few weeks, I tended to rely on whose turn it was to figure out how soon I was going to pick again.

Didn't Taylor Hall get picked 2nd last time? I'm not picking Taylor Hall 2nd this time. Probably. If I remember correctly I was 4th or 5th selection last draft. It's like the list generator knows that Buffalo belongs somewhere near the top.

The pressure of potentially screwing up and picking Taylor Hall 2nd overall is too much for me, I will trade my spot in the draft to anyone in the 10-20 middle range of the order. I feel like last time having two picks that happened more or less right after eachother caused me to reach on some players I figured I needed because I wouldn't get to pick again in 55 odd selections. Anyone who is interested in that range can claim my spot and we'll switch.

Yeah that was my problem and why I ended up with Cam Ward as my starter. My choice was "pick Cam Ward now or run with a starter who is seen as the 120th most valuable player in the league."
