[Soli]

Well......looks like I am riding and dieing with the Americans this year, I select Cam York D USA.

@Cerebral you are up

Landmine.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Landmine.

I almost took him. Or is that more proof?

 

[Cerebral]

Today has been a super slow down but we've generally been making pretty good time so far. We don't have any need to put a time limit in yet but if you know you're going to offline for a long period of time, please send a short picklist to someone else so they can make your pick for you.

 

[The Head Crusher]

Landmine.

Yea he blew up in your face last year and I am swooping in to pick up your loot.

No worries man, but Khusnutdinov has been drafted already.

edit: paralyzer beat me

 

[Cerebral]

I’ll take Canadian forward Jack Quinn. I’m all in on the Canadians destroying this weak group!

 

[The Head Crusher]

Well gonna take a page out of MacT's play book and make "Boldy Moves"

I select USA F Matthew Boldy

 

[The Head Crusher]

@lakai17 you're up next

 

[Cerebral]

Well gonna take a page out of MacT's play book and make "Boldy Moves"

I select USA F Matthew Boldy

I was going to take Sanderson, and with him on the table I was choosing between Boldy and Quinn. Boldy is off to an awesome start in the NCAA, but Quinn is playing on the top line with Dach and Cozens which could be huge if he sticks there. Boldy is a guy whose career I'll always be interested in, as I wanted the Oilers to take him in 2019 when they chose Broberg.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Quinn and Boldy were the next two guys on my list. Rats.

 

[lakai17]

I select German forward JJ Peterka

@BarDownBobo your turn.

 

[BarDownBobo]

I’ll take Team Canada forward Philip Tomasino.

@BoldNewLettuce you’re up!!

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

roby jarventie

@Soli

 

[The Head Crusher]

I select German forward JJ Peterka

@BarDownBobo your turn.

Bold choice, was considering him at some point until today’s news broke about the 8 cases on team Germany. But if he isn’t infected he should pick up points.

I had Quinn/Boldy as my 1a and 1b for my next pick with for forwards and Sanderson as my defence man. May have lucked out withGhostbusters mishap because wall 3 would have probably been gone.

 

[Jumptheshark]

These positive covid tests could kill some teamd

Really sucks that Germany doesn’t have Seider, Reichel and Ancicka. If they had those three I think they could’ve very well finished third in their group. They’ll still give the Czechs and Swiss a run to make the quarters but they’ll be in tough now.

 

[McGhostbuster]

I'll switch my pick to F Connor Zary CAN

This might be the year of the replacements.

Hey @Cerebral I know this comes up every year when it comes to injuries that there are no subs once the tournament starts, but are we going to do the same if someone tests positive after the tournament starts?

I slept on that I guess.

Do I get to re-pick or what's going on here boys?

What did we end up deciding last year/the previous year? I'm of the mindset that if you want to switch a pick, that's okay at any time as long as it is before the games officially start. Ultimately, you have a bit of an advantage "waiting" for more info, but you lose that advantage from losing an early pick. We would just need to set some sort of cut-off so Team Leftovers has time to officially pick their team and not get all their selections sniped at the last second.

Anyone else have thoughts?

As above, I'm okay with re-picks (especially given COVID) but how does everyone else feel?

 

[Paralyzer008]

I am okay with re-picks if they happen prior to the start of the tournament, but they have to be confirmed positive I think. In Peterka's case we have no clue yet.
