To sign them is my real test

It's at least feasible to take maybe the 2nd to 4th best player on the planet for half the money.

the best player on the planet is also younger and signed longer in a world where the cap just continues to go up, and plays a more important position. it doesn't really seem that feasible unless you're trying to make a shittier team

e: i forgot about kucherov's extension but the difference of 3m for a younger, better player is really not something that should be that much of a factor imo. 8 years at 9.5 for an older, not quite as good, winger compared to 7 years at 12.5 for a younger, better, center. seems like a no brainer to me. That's less than an extra 4% of the cap next year, let alone 5 years from now

If they were the same age there would be an argument but Connor has so many more prime years remaining that it would be insane not to pick him first overall.

This. Draft for points over corsi at least for the first few rounds or you will get a team that scores ~200 goals like I have the past few years.

I guess you've all convinced me - McDavid is McDavid! So I guess the argument is really who goes second, which is a little tougher.

You were $500k over the cap, though that wasn't as bad as JoelJoel being $5 mil over the cap.

If you haven’t done this in prior years ppl often send shortlists to someone else if they’ll not be around, it works out

I wouldn't mind having a shot at making a Jets Avs team that performs even worse than the actual Jets Avs team. I am far away in GMT+2 (or maybe it's +3 now with DST), so scheduling might be a bit of a hassle, but the rules make it seem like you guys don't care too much? If not, sign me up.

Edit: Saw that an Aussie took the Jets before me, so I guess I'll try making an even goonier Avs team than the one they had a few years back!

It's GMT+3 right now but it won't be a big deal. It'll run from 5 pm to 5 am your time but you're always free to PM shortlists to others (I'm usually around), and provided it gets to your turn during the dead period you can pick then as well. If you get skipped then just make your pick whenever you're available.

It helps if you (and everyone) turn on private messages because I occasionally give folks a reminder if I see them falling behind.
