2016 Draft Discussion

[The BBKL Insider]

That dallas team is gonna be beastly

[Shoalzie]

People can say what they want about Will's trade of McDavid last year...he got a bundle of picks and assets. He's going to be alright. This could be a big draft for him.

[The BBKL Insider]

Yup, will has certainly collected some nice picks and prospects.

[kyuss]

the fact CAR was even worse than expected helps his case, winning one of the first 2 spots might salvage that deal.

[Lee]

Are we doing doing this on June 1st again?

[dave1959]

Are we doing doing this on June 1st again?

First Monday in June, so it would be June 6th this year.

[kyuss]

NHL draft is earlier than usual this season (24th-25th) so we should probably make an exception and start earlier on a different day

so Monday, May 30th?

or mid week, Wednesday, June 1st?

[foofnik]

Keep in mind Monday May 30 is Memorial Day

[Shoalzie]

Make it that Tuesday then. We need to give ourselves 3 weeks or so to get this done before the NHL draft.

[kyuss]

how much time did we take to complete the last 2 BBKL drafts?

[Lee]

19 days last time

[Matthew]

I feel like this one may take a few days more.

[Lee]

Same day, smaller draft window. Do it.

[cliff11]

so do we have a updated draft order now?

[Matthew]

Yes, Cliff. You're choosing 2nd.

This. Seriously, we don't need a month to do a damn draft. Who wants to be held hostage all day for a couple of picks to be made in a day anyway? Even so, first Monday in June gives us nearly 3 weeks to get it done and was completed as such last season with long lulls in the draft.

[cliff11]

Yes, Cliff. You're choosing 2nd.

This worked out extremely well for me

[Shoalzie]

Your old position in the standings would've gotten you the 3rd overall so it kinda was a win-win. Definitely the luck of the draw.

[Arian The Insider]

Yes, Cliff. You're choosing 2nd.
