Well, a bit of a conundrum. @Billdo and @MakoSlade want weekdays. @SJinNewJersey wants Friday or Saturday, but could do around 7:30 on a weekday.
If it’s a weekday, I need it to be 9:15 or later. @tmg can’t do Tues or Weds.

Can’t make everyone happy. I’m going to set the draft for Sunday, 9/29 at 9:15pm. I’ll have keepers due by Tuesday, 9/24 as the draft setting was a bit last minute. I can move it to 9/30 or 10/3 at 9:15. Or 9/27 or 9/28 at 7. But it seems like Sunday works for most.

Hopefully I can make the draft whatever day. I'm not sure which was a more traumatic event - auto-drafting Rick Nash when he was on the Rangers, or Skinner last year...

I'll be there, that's just a hard time for me.

 

[Henry Killinger]

Im in. I can't do a draft that late on a Sunday, so let's see what wonders the auto-draft gives me lol

 

[tmg]

Just to make sure I’m not overlooking an option - does this league allow pre-keeper-selection trades?

I have 5 of the top 26 players in adp (Nylander Bouchard Hyman Reinhart and Robertson) , plus Bedard who I’m not about to give up in a keeper! If rules allow me to trade one of those five for a pick (or two nickels for a dime in a strength for depth swap) that’s probably both good for me and for a team upgrading its keepers, if league rules allow.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

I don’t know if it’s ever been addressed — @PeterSidorkiewicz ?

I can see both sides. On one hand, really your keepers are the only ones still on your team. That feels a little more like dynasty rules, rather than keeper rules. But, I do like encouraging trades. I had a similar thought as I do have some good players that others might want to keep. I don’t think you can trade draft picks without a pick going the other way, or there is an imbalance.

Side note: Keepers are due on Tuesday. So, we might not have enough time to figure this one out.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Trading players and picks before the draft is possible, because the Commissioner can modify each teams keepers and draft order.

It needs to be manually logged somewhere (like this thread), that both parties agree to the deal.

However as Pops said it is probably too late to bring this in right now. We can implement for next seasons’ off-season.

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

My schedule pretty much stinks for the next couple of days - so i'll just have to wait and see what happens.

In the future - i've had decent success with this site:

EDIT: I'm actually good for this Sunday if it holds.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Everything should be all set up for Sunday. Keepers are assigned and draft order is set.

 

[Billdo]

Nvm

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

It’ll flip. 5 keepers have to go first

 

[SJinNewJersey]

How is Demko back on your IR today (allowing you an extra player today) after you had him active last night? Doesn't seem right. @billingtons ghost

yeah idk - I put him on IR when he was still DTD, and they only force you off IR when you add/drop.

I made that move the other day, and now I've got an extra guy, but everything is whacky tomorrow.

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

does anyone have examples / precedent of some trades involving picks? I want to see what value has looked like in the past.

I guess Our firsts are equivalent to players in like the 6th round of a non-keeper league?

Its been talked about in this thread but i can't recall a draft pick trade actually happening.

Yes 6th round would be equivalent of a 'normal 1st round pick' or keeper caliber player.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

@Mr Bojanglez , two trades happened during the 2022-2023 season. Here is what I wrote after that season:

Traded Draft Picks
The league has that @south jersey devil owns both @billingtons ghost and @Henry Killinger first round picks. @Henry Killinger owns @south jersey devil 3rd round pick and @billingtons ghost owns @south jersey devil 7th round pick. Let me know if this is not correct.

Looking back at the history:
Billington traded Mark Scheifele and a 6th round pick [so, first round pick] to Rented Mule for Chris Kreider and a 12th round pick [so, 7th round].

Concussion Junction traded Moritz Seider and a 6th round pick [1st] to Rented Mule for Martin Necas and an 8th round pick [3rd].

@HBK27 hey man, just wanted to say kudos. Barring an insane comeback today, you look to be cruising to a victory this week. Although it's not the playoffs, I was in the process of running the table this year: I have won every week except for a few ties, and I just realized that this last week.

Thanks - just looked at your matchups this season and that is an insane run to win or tie every week. No idea how you managed to snag McDavid, MacKinnon, Marchand & Hughes but kudos in doing so. Good luck in the playoffs - hopefully see you in the finals.

McDavid #10 pick in the draft. Hughes #12 pick in the draft. MacKinnon waivers. Marchand in one of those rare things...a trade.

I drafted Nico, and I got Drai on waivers once but dropped him.

See you in the playoffs.
