ATD 2017 Draft Thread IV

[King Forsberg]

My votes will be in later this afternoon.

 

[ResilientBeast]

I'm just finishing up my ballot. That's kinda sad turnout, we should probably extend

 

[tony d]

My votes will be in within the next few minutes.

Sounds like a lot of people are planning on voting today. What if we have theokritos post an updated list of voter turnout tomorrow morning and go from there?

 

[seventieslord]

I'm sure everyone will be voting. I don't think anyone has checked out, what is this, round 3 of the playoffs?

Well, trying to get home from work to send my votes in, but obstacles have appeared.

ATD sabotage I bet.

 

[895]

Let's extend the voting period. Aside from the lack of turnout, HF is also crapping out today.

 

[Iceman]

Just sent in my votes.

Fine with me.

 

[Johnny Engine]

I'm just finishing up my votes as well.

 

[seventieslord]

voted.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Mine will be in tomorrow having computer issues

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

Just to be clear, do both Cyborg Yzerman and myself each get a vote or do we have to reach a consensus?

 

[jarek]

Sorry guys, it's been something of a tumultuous last couple of weeks for me. I've had very little energy for anything else.

I'll vote by the end of the weekend.

Either or. If you vote separately then your votes count as half each.

You may not have till the end of the weekend, from the looks of it.

 

[VanIslander]

Agree It was really hard

Namba voted for our team. No need to split votes here.

That's many.

 

[chaosrevolver]

Youll have mine tonight. Didnt actually see the original PM.

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

I have my votes, but still trying to work with Yzerman to see if he wants to split our votes or come to consensus. You'll have it today tho

 

[Theokritos]

That's many.

Yes. Voting remains open for the time being, I'm still collecting ballots and I'll try to keep that post of mine (1142) updated as to whose ballots are still missing.

 

[ResilientBeast]

Got mine in, two of the hardest divisions I've ever voted in, I'm very sorry for the teams that will just fall short.

 

[Theokritos]

While we're waiting for more ballots, here's a question: I remember a few comments about how the divisional playoff series are a bit of a repetitive exercise after the divisional rankings. "We're basically voting on the same thing twice", that's the line I remember. So the question is: would you guys rather switch to extra-divisional series (Cole vs Lecavalier, Hewitt vs Robson) in the first round of the playoffs? Or would you rather stick with the intra-divisional series? (The seeding is going to remain "hidden" = not made public until the playoffs are over, either way.)

I don't think we can change that now. Maybe something for next year

I like this idea for next year... or, even, just having conference rankings. 1v8, 2v7, etc. Of course, it depends on the numbers working out.
