2016 Draft Discussion

[Arian The Insider]

Not one single pm telling me I am up.

That's unfair, I take back my previous post lol

[Matthew]

Unfortunately, you had the two new gms picking ahead of you your two previous picks, so they were probably unaware that they needed to pm you.

[Matthew]

Also, Matt filipe was all ready taken 87th, nick.

[Lee]

Well, to play Devils Advocate here, Nick. You didn't think to check in to see if 155 was on the clock yet? That pick was on the clock 5 days ago. Also, you have one round to make your selection, we are now on pick 196, meaning 155 is no longer valid.

[Nick]

I take issue with that as I was never notified and checked daily, in addition to having email notification of PM, i'll make both picks and CC can decide if that invalid. However Never OTC when I logged in, never forget to PM next to me, and never received a PM. Pretty sure the picks are fine as along as 30 picks haven't passed.

Dunno if I need to PM CBJ?

[Lee]

You are currently on the clock with 196 and Fraser is up after you.

[Matthew]

I think nick thought his #166 pick was otc. Lol.

[Nick]

PMed Fraser. Draft board/thread out of date, No PM -->> and on the road.

[bills09]

Give the guy a break let him make his picks.

[kyuss]

from the thread starter:

If you miss your selection it becomes pick at any time within the next 30 selections, after that the pick is gone.

#155 was done more than 24 hours earlier the Luff selection, the other two are good.

Cliff's #156 is canceled as well.

Ideally Nick would be able to say which out of Luff, Bobylov, Tyanulin he wants to give up, but that only works if he comes back specifying it before Luff gets selected by someone else.

[kyuss]

also, made a couple of updates on the first post. I know for some reasons Scott got pissed off with me last year when I made an update on the first post, but having only one person updating that first post over the whole draft is just not realistic.

Fraser is on the clock.

5, -FIVE- days from 154 to 196 and you say you didn't get PMs...

Come On Nick.

That is the WORST EXCUSE.

And the top of the draft thread ALWAYS is at the correct pick.

[Shoalzie]

Sorry for disappointing you, Mik.

[Sensfanjosh]

Don't think Mik is upset with you Scott, he's trying to help ease the burden on you which I think is a good gesture- also like Nick I haven't consistently gotten pms letting me know I'm up, but at the same time I'm aware that I have a pick coming up and just check the selection thread to see where we're at not that hard to keep up.

[kyuss]

Sorry for disappointing you, Mik.

what the heck made you believe I'm disappointed?

I'm just saying updating the first post shouldn't be only on you.

[dave1959]

Agreed.

I'm here ALL THE TIME, and I could help out also (keeping picks updated to current)

[bills09]

Am I the only one excited for the draft to be over to see some real trades on the boards lolol

[kyuss]

well no guarantees that happens anyway

[Matthew]

I'm excited to see the NHL draft.

[Nick]

5, -FIVE- days from 154 to 196 and you say you didn't get PMs...

Come On Nick.

That is the WORST EXCUSE.

And the top of the draft thread ALWAYS is at the correct pick.

Correct. I never received a single PM informing me my pick was live, that's true @ 155, 166 & 196. The first I knew of my ability to pick was Lee offering to trade. I've been on the road for more than 10 - TEN - days and logged in most days -> never saw OTC:TBL

Should I have free-recalled what # my pick was? perhaps, but I didn't and believe it would be fair to assume I would be made aware. Not like it took more than 15 minutes to make my three selections once I was aware. I know I PM the guy following me, and when I see someone who has the clock ticking away often PM them a reminder.

It's kinda a wtf situation, not like I'm going to rage if I don't get to make the selection, but it seems to be enforcing a rule and stripping an asset just to do so. Scott does an amazing job running our draft and this has been a particularly successful one.
