2018 Draft Discussion

[The BBKL Insider]

Subban turns out a lot better than ekblad, so good move.

Disagreed. Subban is much older. In his prime ekblad will be better.

Well, I flipped Subban to you next. I need to figure out what I did in that exchange. Morrissey and Del Zotto and a 1st was involved...I think that became Tufte. Morrissey and Tanner Pearson (from the Matthews trade) netted me Trocheck (and he was traded for stuff like Hertl, Connor and Aberg) and Garrison. Del Zotto basically turned into Dumoulin. It's a big pretzeled mess after initially trading Ekblad.

Poor kimmer.

Losing the lottery sucks when you don’t own your pick lmao. Lee won with mine last year from 4 or 5 hahahahaha ughhh

This was I, not Lee... which I swapped to Steve for 2nd + Shipachyov which then was shipped to Paul for two additional firsts.

A couple draft questions:

1. If you know you won't be around for a while, do we have someone in charge that we can send a list to, and that person would just choose the top one available?

2. In other leagues, some managers would ask to get texted or emailed when it was their turn. Does this happen here? Specifically for those who tend to hold up the draft?

[Lee]

1) Feel free to send to me. I am always on. Send the list in order of preference.
2) Always always always message the next person.

[Shoalzie]

Of course Lee jumps in first...

Yup, you can leave a player or player(s) with another GM if you're going to be away. Anyone can send me a list or picks...I don't pick until the 5th round (152nd overall).

At a minimum...send a PM to the GM who is next in the draft. Not every GM is available during their draft window and we all don't live in the same time zone. Some times the draft will drag if someone is working or asleep.

I'm not worried about me, but if I'm in a bind - I'll send one over to you. Thanks!

Message as in PM? What good does that do if they are not online?

Sends then an email

[Shoalzie]

It should arrive to them in their e-mail.

I guess most of you have moved the notifications from your junk to your inbox then. Still haven't done that haha.

Does this method work fairly well?

[Shoalzie]

I get my PMs in my Yahoo e-mail. If you know anyone here well enough that you want to text or e-mail them directly...do whatever works for you.

Some of us are primarily around throughout the day. I'm basically running this draft so you don't need to PM me because I'll be on to check stuff frequently.

Hey Scott.

Thank you for the work you put into this. You're better at it than I ever was.

[Handsome&FairMike]

^yes scott. This league doesn’t function without you. So thank you.

Also I’m keen to see which “first rounders” drop into the second round.

[dave1959]

meh...he's ok at it.

if he was good, the draft summary would already be updated

heh heh heh

[Shoalzie]

Oddly enough, I probably have more time to do updates during work...hush hush. When I'm home, I need to be Dad first and then I find time to check in stuff here.

Sheets will be post-draft, by the way.

[dave1959]

i was talking about the summary in the selection thread

[Shoalzie]

Yeah, I know. I like to get the trades updated on Google and then update the selection thread with the updated order and I input the names selected as well. Since all the picks appear on page 1 right now...you guys can figure it out. I'll catch up during my lunch break.

What I was referring to was the new sheets for '17-18...those will be post-draft. I talked about doing them before or after the draft.

[Lee]

Offer is still there if you need a tester.

I don't blame you...after the draft is more than fine.

[Matthew]

Foofnik is one of those guys, i guess. On multiple times during his pick, pretty obv who he is taking, and still farts around.

Does he even know he is up? Did u message him bru?
