ATD 2020 Draft Thread IV

[TheDevilMadeMe]

I received a PM saying I was up? My apologies.

I erased the player details in my post, in any case.

Now you're up. I did briefly consider the guy you are actually picking btw

 

[rmartin65]

I am going to finish the top-6 with XXX

XXX's longterm defensive partner will play on the PK and play at ES with Seth Jones.

I believe @Voight is on auto-skip, so @ResilientBeast is on the clock.

I'll select Dallas Smith, D

Haha, the guy you drafted was the other guy I was looking at.

 

[ImporterExporter]

OK, all seems updated.

@Voight is auto skipped

@ResilientBeast (4 hour clock is up).

 

[ImporterExporter]

I think we can count Voight gone. I've seen him online everyday and he hasn't picked since round 13.

@The Macho Man was quite sick. If you check in, let us know how you are doing bud. At least you have Ms Elizabeth to keep ya company!

Who does that? seriously. There's a whole group of people counting on you to do the bare minimum of showing up and saying a player's name.

 

[seventieslord]

Has anyone here ever dreamed of Pavel Rosa? I did, two nights ago. No idea why him, cause I haven't thought of his name in like a decade. But I dreamed that some newbie picked him at #70 in the ATD and I was pissed off that RB didn't revoke it and make him re-pick. I said it damages the integrity of the draft and stuff, but I only found out about it hundreds of picks later so it was too late to do anything about it. The rest of his team wasn't awful, he just legitimately thought Pavel Rosa was a top-100 player of all-time.

I mean, I can see the appeal, I guess. If you include his entire career from age 17 on, he played 996 games and had 1079 points. In the dead puck and post-lockout eras too, no less!

He'd mentioned to me he was going through some serious family stuff and may need to drop out at some point.

I told him if that was the case just post in the draft thread and we can sort out a replacement.

I hope everything is alright

 

[ResilientBeast]

Mel Bridgeman, C/LW

Same. Obviously real life trumps this. Hope all is well.

Mel Bridgeman's mustache/helmet/skates combo always cracked me up. Hard to believe he was 6-0.

Mel Bridgeman's mustache/helmet/skates combo always cracked me up.

He looks about 55.

 

[tinyzombies]

He looks about 55.

He looks like he should be a 1950s newpaper editor or a taxi dispatcher. Just missing the cigar.

Most definitely.

I could see him playing the town drunk on an old western. He's weathered haha.

 

[tinyzombies]

That has to be the ugliest helmet/stash/stick/skates/uni combo of all time. Don't tell him I said that tho.

 

[Sprague Cleghorn]

LW Simon Gagne

 

[seventieslord]

He looks about 55.

Most of the time I look at am old picture of a hockey player I think he's older than me, and since I'm 38, they usually aren't.

Hard to believe Mel was not even 30 in this picture

 

[seventieslord]

... Oh, and there's no e in Bridgman

 

[VanIslander]

Good pick, he was on my radar for several rounds.

 

[ImporterExporter]

@kruezer (-1) has until 5:03 AM EST to pick.

@tabness (4 hour clock) would be up then.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Alright,

So both @kruezer (5:03 AM EST) and @tabness (4 hour clock) have been skipped.

@Selfish Man is up. PM sent.
