We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.
I was the Sharks last year so let's stick with the theme of optimism curdling into sadness and pick the Washington Bernie Sanders Capitals of America.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
I'll follow along this year, but I don't think I have it in me to draft another fake team. Also, I can't even think of a good gimmick.

Since Philly is taken, I'll take the other perennial playoff disappointment 1967 expansion team: the St. Louis Blues.

This is what happens when you disrespect Cam Neely
Well I was Buffalo in each of the previous two competitions, but somebody stole my spot so I guess I'll settle with another powerhouse of an eastern conference team, the Florida Panthers.

The odds of going over the cap are really low. Don't worry too much about it

My brother joined a new keeper fantasy league where he traded up for 1ov to take McDavid. I'm not sure I'm that high on him but... I expect first 5.

On that note, can we do pick trades? Pick for pick.

To expand on this, it created a loving nightmare in the last one that did it because nobody knew who was picking next. Its just an unnecessary level of extra stress on the poor soul running it. :(

if we want to try to expand to the more casual/time restricted people we could just setup a daily schedule in advance of each round with the two hour windows displayed for picks

so 1: 12-14, 2: 14-16, 3: 16-18 etc, and then if someone picks early, the next pick has the luxury of picking earlier. that way there's a maximum time it could take that people can schedule for and it can go faster if people are earnest. i know having to check the thread every couple hours probably makes it a lot harder for some people

every 30 picks we reset the schedule

If you want to be a festering, empty void you should probably be the Oilers.
