Time to get our ducks in a row, I guess. I've got an off-season schedule done and approved by goaler but it could possibly change based on what weekend wins. I'll just say the first off-season sim will be on September the 6th. And I know the question will come up anyway, I talked to House this morning, the prospects should be ready by Tuesday/Wednesday-ish. |

I'm open to all of those, though I might not make it through the whole round if we start at 2 on the 17th. I prefer Sundays, but it's not a big deal to do a Saturday. |

I love that show. It's not on par with Kim Possible, but still very good. Go Disney channel cartoons! |

I know I can't do the 18th (barring a really, really fast fantasy draft that goes 23 rounds deep with 20 teams). I voted for the 17th, gives everyone a chance to have a couple of weeks to scout...and me a bit more time to make sure the HW boards are ready. (I still think for activity reasons, the draft ideally should be held on HW.) |

I voted other in my diluted attempt to have the draft moved after the provincial election on october 6th. I know it wont happen, but that's when it would be best for me :p. |

Yeah, this was my thinking too, getting as much time to scout as possible would probably be best. Also I just realized I forgot to put a deadline on this thing. I guess a week should be good. |

quack quack quack quack. my only wish is : please only ONE round live. this drags already enough time as is. my optimal wish would be for this to be done on the boards, my experience is that there is way more activities. people get 2-3-4 hours to trade their pick instead of 5 minutes. |

If we waited that long, the pre-season wouldn't start until November 2nd. We'd sit around doing nothing for a month. Edit: November 9th actually. Forgot the first weekend after the 6th is Thanksgiving. Can't do the draft then.
When was the last time we even did more than one round live? Edited by jetsniper, Aug 27 2011, 08:48 PM.

I remember that happening the first year, we did 2 rounds live. I also remember missing that one as it was scheduled for a Sunday but there were enough GM's around on the Saturday that we switched with just a couple hours notice. Kenndal McArdle and Alexandre Vincent were my assigned picks then. |

Yeah, thats the last time I remember it too. It's funny you mention the switch, I was just reading old topics a few days and came across that. I don't even remember it happening, there was a topic dedicated solely to people complaining they missed the draft. I was astounded. I was there but I still took a bust in Bergfors. First and last draft I did without Playerscout, haha. |

The logic in Hannes' decision is that the overwhelming majority wanted a Saturday draft. The problem was the last second switch. I haven't looked back to see who I could have had; I frankly don't think I want to as I know there were better players taken long after. Fortunately, I more or less had a deal in place to move my 1st rounder (McArdle) for a more established player anyway (I think it was Brian Rolston but I'm not sure) which lessened the blow for me somewhat. |
