I'm down for starting or waiting. If we start now, do the three remaining teams just vanish? Do we give them BPA until somebody takes them?

If we're just judging teams against each other I think the exercise is still honest with -3 teams

yeah it's not like there's 10 teams who will just wind up looking like olympic rosters, 27 teams is a lot and I feel like with how flaky people tend to be with this sorta stuff that dragging it out risks having some drop out/straight up forget they're signed up for it

Stickarts can have the Bruins. The Rangers will draft according to the BPA's Corsi, the Capitals will draft according to the BPA's boxcars.


Let it be known that RAS and WAS fans should both be ashamed of themselves.



The draft stars Saturday morning.

Its still cool if we make the pick and do the writeup later right? Only asking because Im going to be in Niagara Falls Saturday and can make the pick via phone and just do a writeup when I get home that evening.

Lets get it on! :toot:

You mean you're actually picking a start time and not just starting the draft once #30 joins up and complaining that people don't pick fast enough? Perhaps I should be the ghost of Glen Sather.

Hopefully I can use my first two picks to grab Henrik Lundqvist and Derek Stepan this year.
They were indispensable cornerstones last time around.

But for real, gently caress building for the future this time around. We want the cup and we want it now!

I'm running an ultra on Saturday / Sunday. Can you flip (does someone else want to flip) my pick with someone late in the draft? Means I don't get to take Crosby again, but if not there'll be a pretty big delay.

The Flames pick 26th so it'll probably be a couple days after we start before you have to pick

Yeah sure give the first guy (not) picking Crosby and their choice of coach why not (Bylsma).

I just hope my coach doesn't favour veterans over hot young studs and doesn't have trouble adjusting in the playoffs like oh every coach in the league.

You can pick your coach whenever you want but it will be your pick for that round



My guess is we won't see coaches picked for a while

If you want, you can send it to me. I pick 5th so it's not like I can poach whoever you were gonna take, and that way we get two picks done in relatively quick fashion.

Why not pick coaches either first round (maybe reverse the order so the number one pick doesn't also get the first coach pick) or the last round?

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

The Sharks could be that Champion.
I think something got crossed - I shoul have the woeful Washington Caps and the Sharks should be getting autopicked on basis of boxcars.

Habibi posted:

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.


E: wouldn't you know it, they even pick 14/15.
