The winner of the lottery is nameless1 with the pick originally owned by Luc.

Colour me shocked I didn't win

 

[nameless1]

There is no clear-cut #1 anyways.
I am still unsure who to pick.
Anybody wants to relieve me of that burden?
I prefer to pick in the middle...
To be honest.

Lame but unsurprising

I'm not sure where you were when we had a lengthy discussion where you could have influenced some of the votes.

 

[VanillaCoke]

it was the middle of summer some ppl are busy. When i went back to read the "lengthy discussion" it was 3 pages of convoluted back and forth mess of talk and options with no real direct message about the point of some of these rules just seems to be pandering and fixing issues that dont exist.
It wasnt that complex a system to work with.

I dont agree and think its dumb and overall counterproductive, the contentiousness and high level competition of this league was what made it elite.

It is what it is idc.

 

[CRDragon]

There was opportunity to discuss instead of just complaining well after the callouts for checking into the season.

yah yah Opportunity usual bs it is what it is as i said, idc enough to complain just voicing an opinion.
Good luck in the draft crd.

Having the best team in the league guaranteed to get the best college prospects was not a good system.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Never said it was a good system, just not complicated.
Nobody is forcing bad teams to remain bad.

 

[Canucker]

Democracy in action. Personally, I'm happy we have a system in place that hears everyone and allows them to have a say with the rules, rather than having them dictated.

 

[CRDragon]

@CRDragon

I forgot to pick Doughty up before the season ended...

Got a few guys available if anyone is looking to upgrade their keepers: Cam Talbot, Evgeni Malkin, Patrice Bergeron, Matt Duchene, Shea Theodore, Ryan Hartman.

Also open to keeping Talbot if someone gives me a solid offer for a guy like DeBrincat or Svechnikov.

Last call for Patrick Kane. Or if someone wants to make me a great offer for Marchand that might work too.

Makar
Hedman
Barkov
Thomas

Didn't see lists from StrictlyCommercial or LB. But they have selected on Yahoo so will go with those.

 

[CRDragon]

Here's the draft order on Tuesday. Please double check your own picks! There were only 3 offseason trades so not much adjustments need to be made, mostly were carried over from last year by default from Yahoo. Thanks!

@Balls Mahoney @Canucker @BrockH @Fedz @ahmon @VanillaCoke @CaptainBo @archangel2 @Canucks LB @nameless1 @StrictlyCommercial

I'll also be reshuffling the schedule to continue our tradition of having last year's finalists duel it out in the first week.

 

[nameless1]

If a rookie does not make the NHL roster...
But he is eligible to be drafted on yahoo at the moment...
Does that mean I have to keep him on the roster the whole season in order to keep him?
Or do I have to drop him once he is no longer on the team?

You can keep him as long as you want. Once you drop him, he will be ineligible to be picked up as he's not in a NHL roster.

Thanks.
I currently lean towards a rookie as the top pick right now.

I will go into the draft as the 2013 Cleveland Cavs.
I will have no idea who I should pick until the draft starts.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

CaptainBo either f***ed up his keepers on Yahoo, or they do not correctly reflect selections. Shows Theodore instead of Power as a Keeper for him.

Edit: I looked again and its fixed? Yahoo is drunk right now. Certain buttons go to last season.

Things were okay last night.

I did notice that at one point. Some links go to two years instead of one year ago, it's strange.

thanks for the clerification

 

[Balls Mahoney]

My vote was for sale all Summer. You could have made an offer any time.

Democracy in action. Personally, I'm happy we have a system in place that hears everyone and allows them to have a say with the rules, rather than having them dictated.

I might have to change the name of my team back to "Balls Gonna 9D U" this season.

 

[archangel2]

I am trying to find lucs keepers

Didn't see lists from StrictlyCommercial or LB. But they have selected on Yahoo so will go with those.

can you post their keepers? looks like I can only see their keepers for this year
