RULES
1. 6 hours between picks then the pick gets autoed. I like fast drafts. If someone picks at 2 pm et next pick has to be made by 8pm same day.
2. I don't have the 2 North American pick rule to 1 Euro pick for auto picks. It's one NA, one Euro, etc. I feel there has long been enough depth in Euro hockey to go away from the standard.
3. There's no clock between 10 pm & 8 am. Players can pick between those hours, but if someone picks at 2 am the clock doesn't start til 8 am & next player still gets their 6 hours.
4. If you can't make your next pick for whatever reason (exam, meetings, etc), please send 3 options to a player who has already picked, so they can place your pick for you, or PM me your list.
5. Notify the next player up with a PM, please and not just an @ in the message box, as they're not always received.
6. In cases, where there are options in draft pick trades, the options have to already been met to be applied to this draft. For the purposes of options where a team must make playoffs for a pick to be switched, any team in top 16 is considered to have made the playoffs.
*This means CBJ will receive LAK 2023 1st round pick, as LAK are currently in a playoff position.
* St. Louis Blues will get Dallas Stars 1st round pick. They are to get the later pick between Dallas/NYR, but the two teams are tied. Dallas currently holds the tie breaker for the later pick.
