Oh, hmm, 1 pick per team, that adds a wrinkle...

drat 2 hour timer? I thought it said 12 lol.

Aight, I dunno, I guess I'll take more of a long-term approach...

Nah, gently caress it, probably the last time I'll get to draft him in some capacity before he's well past his prime.

Monsieur Sidney Crosby, C, Pittsburgh

Atlanta Thrashers select Cale Makar

I had him typed up as my pick and went post>cancel three times before switching to Sid. Def a poor choice on my part for anything beyond a one-season simulation (and still borderline even then).

Edit: Oh, if ever it's my turn and someone's in the SAS NHL discord can I get a mention (@kalensc) please? I can @ the two folks after my own picks if they let me know their discord nick. Merci!

It would be a neat wrinkle to randomly choose a number from 1 to 99 until you hit a jersey number of an available player. Although could definitely be a pain in the rear end if RNG wasn't being kind haha.

Gonna pivot to "have goalie depth to ride the hot hand" a la Fleury/Murray several years ago, and pick up Filip Gustavsson, G, MIN.

A few guys several rounds early, a few guys I feel like I picked up later than expected, and $47M left to fill 11 roster spots plus the prospects. Decent position I guess? For a single-season sim anyways, if it was dynasty then obv I change my strategy from Round 1.

Ah dammit, I thought Tarasenko had committed to the Senators and thus I couldn't add him.

T-Bone posted:

Does he right now? He can just wait until the end right and see how stuff goes?

Being able to wait until the end and retroactively declaring the team Tarasenko "replaced" would be quite a huge boost to hia relative value, no? I certainly would have valued him higher if we could wait til the end and say he was counting as a Duck, Coyote, Flyer, or whatever.

I'm bummed that a whole swath of young'ins & prospects I liked were taken in one fell swoop, but for a mostly veteran line-up I guess I'm satisfied. Would be interesting to see how it gelled in a proper sim.

Since Duckman is behind by two picks I'm assuming they won't be posting theirs first thing in the morning.

So, assuming they don't pop in to select some players, this will be my pick whenever my turn comes up (spoilered if ever they do indeed return)

Viktor Arvidsson, LAK, RW

Edit:

The above player was NOT selected. Gabriel Landeskog was the actual pick by the Montreal Wanderers in Round 17.

If I realized I made an error in my prior pick, can I swap them out for someone still available? I wouldn't gain an advantage or anything by doing this, I just plain forgot who I had next on my list when I was posting at midnight last night.

OK I am home from work and ready to pick. Twice again by the looks of it.

First Im going to snag Quinton Byfield from the Kings, who I had scratched off my list earlier thinking he had been picked. Oops.

Second I will be taking Darth VaderDan Vladar and pray to the most random of goalie gods that getting out of Calgary turns him around.

I had the exact same cross-off on Byfield, otherwise I'd likely have taken him a few rounds ago when I started building a youngster fourth line. Weird.

I think we should at minimum put the player name in the Excel sheet when we select them, otherwise stuff gets held up unnecessarily.

So if WeaponX took Copley around 2pm EDT then T-Bone was on the clock until 4pm, and EGG is on the clock until 6pm, at which point I'll post my pick & update the file.
