I'm in - I'll find a way to lose again strong

 

[Jumptheshark]

I will stay on the sidelines again this year due to the time difference

 

[lakai17]

I'm in

 

[The Head Crusher]

I am in.

 

[Soli]

I have returned.

 

[Cerebral]

We are just waiting on if @GrandLarseny wants back in. If not, we have room for a new GM.

@Jumptheshark Want to run Team Leftovers?

We should be able to start drafting today if we lock in our 8th GM.

 

[Cerebral]

The draft can officially start now - @The Head Crusher is up with the first pick!

As per usual, we won't worry about a pick timer unless we start to fall behind. Please try to send a pick list to someone in front of you if you know you'll be off for a big chunk of the day.

Good luck all!

 

[The Head Crusher]

With the first overall pick I will select Gabe Perreault F USA. @McMozesmadness is now up.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Team Mozes selects:

Ryan Leonard - USA

…

@Soli is up

 

[Jumptheshark]

We are just waiting on if @GrandLarseny wants back in. If not, we have room for a new GM.

@Jumptheshark Want to run Team Leftovers?

We should be able to start drafting today if we lock in our 8th GM.

Yeah--I will do team leftovers. I will wait till right before the first game played to post my team

 

[Soli]

Team Soli selects Otto Stenberg (SWE).

I didn't want to pick property of the Blues *spits*, but maybe if he does really well we can offer sheet him one day.

@Paralyzer008 is up next.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Para sent me his pick

He takes Trey Augustine - USA

@Cerebral is up

 

[Cerebral]

I'll take Swedish defenceman Axel Sandin-Pellika. @lakai17 is up!

 

[lakai17]

I'll take Slovakian Forward Dalibor Dvorsky

@GrandLarseny you're up

 

[tardigrade81]

Well boys. I'm 37. Starting to think the juniors isn't within reach for me anymore

 

[GrandLarseny]

I'll take F Cal Ritchie from Canada.

@BarDownBobo is up!

 

[Cerebral]

I'll take F Cal Ritchie from Canada.

@BarDownBobo is up!

I was 50/50 between him and Sandin-Pellika. I find Canada tough team to read this year. They definitely left home a lot of offensive firepower but there’s still quite a few elite guys like Ritchie who could tear it up.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Confirming I took Augustine last night - I couldn't get into HF on mobile for some glitch reasoning.

Felt like he's the only goalie I have any confidence in, so guaranteed he only wins like one game now.

 

[BarDownBobo]

I’ll select Canadian forward Gavin McKenna and American forward James Hagens.

Back to you @GrandLarseny

 

[GrandLarseny]

I'll take Eduard Sale F Czechia

@lakai17 is up

 

[lakai17]

I'll take Canadian forward Berkly Catton

@Cerebral You're up!

 

[Cerebral]

I'll take Canadian forward Bradly Nadeau.

@Paralyzer008 is up!
