Could be fun to maybe do some other stipulations if we've got sub 20 drafters. Do a 32 player draft with a prospect system and one player from each NHL team or something.

But that's me, the guy who likes talking and arguing about prospects (so it would be 23 man roster, 9 prospects, one player per NHL team).

Would any guy on a two way/unsigned count towards your prospects? Or would you have to designate as you picked?

Like, I take Bedard, he's a roster guy though. Or I could be sneaky and count him as a prospect (not that you'd necessarily want to?)

Sounds good to me. I'd be up for something like that if everyone else is. Seems a bit more interesting than a normal draft with sub 20 teams.

Works for me, how many slots are we thinking then, 33?

32 and you can remove one team for a FA slot if you wish?

T-Bone
Sep 14, 2004

So for rules:

32 Picks (23 Roster players + 9 prospects/system guys).

1 player from each team (can use 1 FA slot to ignore a team).

Otherwise the same as the OP, salary cap, NHL affiliated or FA, yadda yadda.


Does anyone want to do the sheet?

Alright, did a quick and dirty copy of a previous year

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iY0Tz8ieKJr6bibbu6SeTdKOin2MaWhmgSaznnTzCd4/edit#gid=0 -- I set up a team template for Cleveland. Feel free to copy that to track your own team or do something better! When picking, please include position and in the sheet format it as so: Player (Team) so that we can more easily keep track of what teams people have picked from for the 1 player per team limit.

Draft Order:

1. Vancouver Canucks: JawKnee
2. California Golden Seals: Ginette Reno
3. Toronto Arenas: eXXon
4. Montreal Canadiens: stab
5. Seattle Kraken: VOTE1
6. St. Louis Blues: Duckman2008
7. Montreal Wanderers: kalensc
8. Florida Everblades: El Gallinero Gros
9. Cleveland Barons: T-Bone
10. Atlanta Thrashers: WeaponX
11. Philadelphia Flyers: mentholmoose
12. Hartford Whalers: fawning deference
13. Columbus Blue Jackets: Furnaceface
14. Quebec Bulldogs: Jordan7hm


Let's plan on starting the timer Friday 7/21 at 10:00am EST. You can pick now if you want, but the timer won't start until then.

Rules:

1. Players you select must be the "property" of an NHL team (or have played last season in the NHL).

2. The salary cap for 2023-2024 is $126m million. The cap floor is $92m million. If you gently caress up the cap we'll laugh at you but we'll still need you next year because this forum is dying.

3. The draft timer only runs from 10:00 AM EST to 10:00 PM EST. It is snake format (so at pick #31, that team also picks #32 and so on). Each drafting team has a 2 hour window during this period and that 2 hours rolls over - if your pick comes on the clock at 9 PM, you have until 11 AM the next day to make your choice. If someone fails to draft within that time, their pick is skipped. They will be auto-skipped until they return to make whatever picks are still due of them. You can pick outside of this window as long as it is your pick, but the timer will not be running on anyone. If you know you are unable to be around to make your pick, there are always several people around that you can send a short list of players to and they will pick for you. As the draft gets into the later rounds, we have traditionally sped up the timer to put finishes touches on our teams with depth guys.

4. We will be selecting 23 roster players, 8 prospects and 1 head coach. You need to take at least 12 forwards, 6 defenseman, and 2 goalies for your roster, and your prospects can be any position. New Rule -- you must select one player per NHL team! As of *today* 7/19, any unsigned player counts as a free slot (although you will need to account for their eventual contract). You can use 1 FA slot to replace any team of your choosing. Also, your coach counts for your team slot! So if you take Babcock, Columbus down.



e: Let me know if you see anything hosed in the sheet, or feel free to fix it yourself.

Bedard at #2 is obviously somewhat of a risk but I don't think it's too crazy if you're building a young core and with the 1 player per team limit.

It's hard to run out of cap room normally and with only 16 teams nobody is going to be forced to take the worst contracts so something more like 1.5x would make sense.

Works for me.

so maybe say $126m, work for everyone?

I'm still fine with taking over his team and making picks but if the forum would rather consensus him that is okay too.

I'd rather consensus personally than have one person drafting two teams, the results are probably going to be similar anyway and this keeps the draft moving better when he's up

e: Really we should have just removed him entirely, but whatever the picks have been made

Artemi Panarin

So to have like a post or two of discussion in this thread: Seems pretty early for Panarin, especially from a team like the Rangers that potentially have a lot of other draftable good players.

I think his horrific series vs. the Devils is maybe being weighed a little too much, but he's 31 and on the downswing -- Stab you always take interesting teams but feels like Panarin would have been available two or three rounds from now.

I like the Beniers pick, it's a debatable one given the established stars still around, but the upside is huge. Intriguing!

I'm gonna go the same route with Moritz Seider -- he's big and he plays big (plays like an rear end in a top hat even), and that's what my team is all about.

Tkachuk/Tkachuk/Seider is the start of the Cleveland Bastards

The following teams had no players selected from in the first three rounds, which is pretty interesting/telling/damning:

WSH/STL/PHI/MTL/LAK/CGY/ANA/SJS (with the Sharks just getting on the board with EK).

Tampa leads the way with (5) players selected. NJ/NYR/DAL are next with (4).
