ALL-TIME DRAFT 2025!

The draft will last 24 rounds. You must draft 2 goalies, 6 defensemen, 12 forwards, a coach, and 3 extra picks.

1) The clock starts February 3rd at Noon (EST).

2). Time Limits.

24 hrs for round 1
12 for round 2
10 for rounds 3-10
8 for 11-14
6 for 15-20
4 for rest.

One hour time window deduction for each skipped pick, with a minimum 4 hour clock guaranteed regardless of deductions.

3). TRADING IS ALLOWED

Trading Rules:
  • Trading is to be reasonably fair and balanced and lopsided trades will need to be re-worked or dropped when multiple members object. Unless there is vocal displeasure with a deal, generally speaking we pass trades that get an OK from 3 veteran members.
  • Each team may make up to THREE trades.
  • Players CANNOT be traded.
  • No more than 4 assets per team may be traded at a time.
  • A submitted trade DOES NOT count towards one of your 3 trades unless it is vetoed and the reworked deal gets vetoed as well.
  • Swapping all positions before the draft doesn't count as a "trade" for the purposes of the above rules.
  • Trading while on the clock is allowed. However please try and not make a habit out of using the entirety of said clock round after round looking for a last minute deal specifically.
4). ADD/DROPS - At the conclusion of the draft, there will be a 7 day period for add/drops. All add/drops must be 1-for-1. Dropped players will NOT be eligible to be added by other teams.

5). Regular season rankings MUST BE VOTED ON by at least one GM per team. The penalty if not done is a potential lowering in the standings because each GM will rank his own team first. Co-GMs who both vote each get half a vote for the regular season rankings in their own division.

6). NO MENTIONING UNDRAFTED PLAYERS!!!

7). PM the next GM after you have made your pick. THIS IS NOT OPTIONAL!

Might as well get things started with the first overall pick for the second year in a row.

I don't want to run back the same gag twice. That's just lame. Hogsmeade selects Gordie Howe.

@Leaf Lander up next, I think his clock doesn't start until tomorrow at noon, right?

I think overpass went with Howe at 1st overall too a few years back.

IMO Howe is even easier to build around than XXXXX. Great pick!

The clock should start on Monday.

We just got the draft order and its Friday here!

It would be a shame to skip a 1st round pick because the clock began on the weekend.

Everyone ought to be prepared to pick by Monday!
 
Wow! Didn't see that coming at all. I mean, I don't hate it. I'm a huge Crosby guy. I just didn't expect to see the big 4 broken up.

Kudos to you for doing it your way and making it interesting. I'd love to build around Sid one year.

I am all about changing the belief system here lol

Crosby isn't as good offensively as 2 of the top 4 but he is a complete player and I prefer that plus his 20 yrs of bringing it on the ice in all facets of the great game that we all love helps

Hey, I'm among Sid's greatest fans. In a sense, I agree with you.

Still a shocking pick.

Now I'll have to make a choice at 6th, damn it lol

It wasn't so long ago, in ATD2016, that I had both Gordie Howe and Sidney Crosby on my team. Back then I got Sid at the beginning of the 3rd round. This was just before the back-to-back cups.

I will be honest and say I don't like it. Or is it too early to dish the dirt?

I mean to be clear I wouldn't have picked him there. But I respect ballsy moves like that where we shake up the typical formula..at least to an extent anyways. Nothing too outrageous.

Sid's one of the easier players to build around.

I haven't been around these drafts long enough to know how often the "Big 4" is broken up, but it's still a surprise and feels incredibly rare.

But hey, if any player were to do it, Crosby does make a heck of a lot of sense.

Break up the big 4?

Crosby "makes a lot of sense" by trying to jump two clearly better picks??

I am usually proud of ATDs, but this is up there with Sundin top-50 made. Fortunately - in the years thereafter since - Sundin slid and slid and slid, 'cuz we honored the effort. (Sundin is all time great, but we know he ain't top 100, and showed it all years but one -ugh)
