A Blatantly Stolen OP. Fantasy Draft ROUND 30 goons, first come first serve. You pick your team and act as its drafting GM. This is a fantasy draft in which we are drafting hockeymans teams from all current players who are the property of an NHL team. Each GM can draft any kind of team they'd like: from a cap team that wants to win it all this year, to a cellar dweller that's building through the draft. Prospects playing in leagues other than the NHL ARE ELIGIBLE if they are the property of an NHL team. The draft order will be snaking and randomly chosen, and as players are picked, the picks will be stored in a google spreadsheet. This requires research behind each pick, really. I mean it's a lot harder than it seems, especially when you reach the later rounds. You can pick ANYBODY (within the rules). It's demanding, but it's also a ton of fun. Keep this in mind - this is all just supposed to be good fun. What makes this fun? With each pick, you will explain your pick. Why did you choose this player and what kind of team are you trying to build? And after each pick, we're all free to rag on you for picking Matt Stajan to be your second-line center, or for deciding that no goalie should make more than a million bucks and signing Chad Johnson to be your starter. RULES 1. Again, only players that are "property" of an NHL team are allowed to be drafted. They can be playing in any league in the world, as long as a team owns their rights. If you draft a player who has not re-signed, you take the risk that they go to the KHL or retire. Be warned. Prospects who have not signed ELCs will be counted as a max contract against the cap. 2. We are drafting based on the 2015/2016 NHL salary cap of $71.4 million. Both minimum and maximum salary cap rules apply. A player's contract including both salary and term is based on their 2015/2016 contract. If you draft a player who has not re-signed, you take the risk of them signing for far more than you expected. 3. You've got 2 hours to make your pick BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 10AM EST and 10PM EST*. If you miss it, the next person is up. You can then come back and make your pick at your earliest convenience. There will only be autopicking if you're wayyyy behind. If you think (or know) you'll miss your 2 hours you can always send your list, usually a pick with 2 or 3 alternates, to someone to pick for you *it carries over. If the last pick is at 9pm EST, the next pick is due at 11am EST. 4. You must, to some degree, explain your pick to keep everyone involved and encourage discussion. 5. We are picking 23 players plus 1 head coach. Abide by general roster rules, you'll need two goalies, twelve forwards, and six defensemen, at the least. There are no restrictions on what types of players you may pick. 6. Don't make white noise posts who you're going to pick later on, or who other people are going to pick, or who hasn't been picked (or if you do, do a 'I can't believe Manny Murderer is still available' post), but don't worry about naming guys who haven't been picked in the context of a discussion about guys who have been. (Don't be a dick, don't name undrafted guys just to name them. If we find that this rule doesn't work we go back to the DON'T TALK ABOUT GUYS rule.) 7. BE COMMITTED. PLEASE. If you don't think you're going to be able to do this thing (it's long-winded and daunting), be a bystander. Please. 8. Any other rules or ideas you guys have before we start, bring them up here. But now is the time to sign up!

Proposal: I think we should draft < 30 players this year since most people didn't make it that far last year but we should have to include a head coach in our picks

24 players + coach for a total of 25? Anything more than that and people have to spend a great deal of time digging through rosters for players, which isnt always easy to do during a work week.

Picking the I demand the ability to pick 30 players even though I have no desire to put as much effort into this as I did the last two drafts. ... but I will compromise if we get to do a 5-round entry draft.

Yeah players signed to an ELC by the official start date (whenever that may be) are fine with me. Hell, I'd go so far as to say that any drafted player is eligible to be selected (however you don't get to sign them to a magic contract if they don't have one - if you select them they sit in juniors or college until they sign a contract in the real world). As usual mark me down for COLUMBUS

This looks weird and dumb and fun I'll take the Preds. e: I saw in the last thread you'd talked about putting teams into EHM, any plans to do that this year? Also we don't actually do anything with the teams after we draft em other than watch and complain that somehow Vermette isn't putting up 70 points on the Coyotes?

We'll do a 23 man roster plus one head coach so 24 rounds. Anyone who has been drafted can be picked but if they don't have an existing ELC deal they'll be assigned a max contract (ie a McDavid Deal). Sound good?
