Donut's Fantasy Game 5.0 - Discussion Thread

Is that every team now? (I mean did all the gms pick a team now?)

Yup, all teams are accounted for. Everything should be up by tomorrow and the draft clock will start Friday afternoon.

Okay, sounds great, is there a specific time for the draft clock? if you could tell me what time it is EST then it would be much appreciated

 

[donut]

Hope everyone is ready to get the show on the road. Just so we have everyone up to date and ready, the clock will not start until Friday. From my experience, having the clock run from 3PM to 12AM EST runs best for most people. All the details for the draft/game are available in the Draft Thread.

Other key things to keep in mind:

• For upcoming UFAs/RFAs, use their 2014-15 cap-hit. Everyone else will be at their 2015-16 cap-hit
• There is no trading in this game; solely a draft then vote game
• Be cautious with your drafting, the cap will be $80M for this game and I have no intention of changing it
• On the 1st post of all three threads, there is a table with the list of GMs. If you click on the GMs name, it will direct you to your outbox where you can PM that GM (this is to help with PMing after each pick)

If you have any further questions, feel free to PM me or ask in the discussion thread.

Anyone looking for lazy assistant GM with tendencies to build teams that choke in the playoffs, throw me a PM.

 

[LT]

Can we start drafting now, before the clock starts?

Choking in the playoffs is Vancouver's thing, how did you inherit that habit?

I don't know, maybe i've acquired too many of their players in these games in the past.

Then again every team chokes in the playoffs once in a while... accept for the Blackhawks, and the Rangers are choking right now

Yes. Showjaxx go make his first selection whenever he feels like it!

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

We are drafting whenever we feel like it?

In correspondance to the draft board. The clock just doesn't start until tomorrow but GMs can start making picks right now. Pretty much there are no skipped picks for the next 24hours or so.

[Igor Shestyorkin]

[LT]

Can't go wrong with Jamie

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

Can't go wrong with Jamie

Thats true but.... others are still here in the draft if team John Scott wanted to pick them up along with many others....

 

[Igor Shestyorkin]

agreed

Their Stanley cup choke against the Bruins was the worst of them all

*wants to pick a player so bad but is the assistant GM so respectfully waits for the GM to rightfully pick a player.*

 

[LT]

Let's not post undrafted players' names

You may be the perfect fit with Dabeast; he has a history of being bad with drafting You may want to PM him and discuss draftinng strategy.
