As much as it pains me, since there's a run on D-men... (gotta say with this format, it really increases the value of defensemen. a PP goal from Subban would be a 3 category score!)
Zdeno Chara D BOS

Suburban Rhythm · 09-25-2013, 08:05 PM

Picking from Chief's PM list...

Tuukka Rask - G - BOS

Chief Rum · 09-25-2013, 08:18 PM

Heh... Rask, I meant.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-25-2013, 08:33 PM

Logan · 09-26-2013, 10:37 AM

Nice movement this morning.

The Jackal · 09-26-2013, 10:38 AM

CR is on the west coast so hopefully he's awake soon.

The Jackal · 09-26-2013, 10:41 AM

I was hoping Chara and Rask would fall to me, but can't complain too much about Craig and Buff.

Chief Rum · 09-26-2013, 11:05 AM

3.4 Jonathan Quick - G - LA

Chief Rum · 09-26-2013, 11:09 AM

New strategy--grab two top goaltenders to dominate those categories, at the risk of the skaters I will carry.

Rask was an easy choice, but it came down to Quick versus Crawford for the second spot. I am hoping I made the right choice. I believe Quick is actually the better goaltender, but Crawford is going to get more wins. It came down to going with the guy who has no real backup (so Quick plays a ton).

The Jackal · 09-26-2013, 11:17 AM

You underestimate Antti Raanta.

(he says then realizes you didn't pick Crawford, haha)

Chief Rum · 09-26-2013, 11:41 AM

Haha yeah. I don't know much about Raanta, but I don't even know the Kings' backup G off of the top of my head, now that Bernier has taken his boxing gloves to Toronto. Even when Bernier was here in LA, Quick was a bit of an ironman.

The Jackal · 09-26-2013, 02:51 PM

Are we going to be able to finish this before the start of the season?

Logan · 09-26-2013, 03:01 PM

I just sent a couple names to SR so that you guys can move forward once sposfan picks, as I likely won't be around much more today.

Logan · 09-26-2013, 03:03 PM

Not sure. It might not be the worst idea to schedule an online draft through ESPN just before the season starts as a fallback option. I think if SR as League Manager sets it up as a keeper league (I'm assuming this is an option in hockey, it is in football), he can input the rosters to where we are in the thread at that point and then proceed from there. Anyone who cant make whatever time it's scheduled for can pre-rank or just let the CPU go.

Again, just as a last minute option.

This seems like a legit idea. I was hoping a week would have been enough, but not sure at this point.

My son has practice tonight from 6:00 - 7:30, so I'll try and check it out later on.

Yeah I was considering that idea too - as long as ESPN has the functionality for an unlimited number of keepers I think it would work.

Logan · 09-26-2013, 03:15 PM

Yeah and if all that works, you can even start filling in the rosters now to reduce the burden at the end.

Logan · 09-26-2013, 03:21 PM

I just went in and created a new league to test it out. I did all this before I officially clicked "create league" but you should be able to go into LM tools -> edit league settings and do the same. I went to the Transactions and Keepers tab and set the total number of keepers to however many the full roster is. Then you go back to LM Tools and hit Edit Keeper Selections and you can populate the rosters.

So yeah, it should work. If for some reason you can't alter all this once the league has been created, it would be well worth it to start a new one from scratch and have everyone re-join.

Logan · 09-26-2013, 03:22 PM

FYI...that will be BY FAR by biggest contribution to this league. I fully expect to come in last.

So you're welcome.

Logan · 09-26-2013, 03:26 PM

One other small side benefit, if SR does update the draft list on ESPN every round or whatever, is as we get deeper into the draft we would be able to go onto the league site and see a semi up-to-date list of available players. I imagine with all this being done in this thread, there's a good chance we'll have some people (coughmecough) try to select guys that have already been taken, but they forgot to cross them off whatever list they're working off of.

The Jackal · 09-26-2013, 04:07 PM

I formally request that if we do a draft it be on Sunday instead of Monday (unless it's late Monday night) - should be easier to get people together on a sunday night?

sposfan · 09-26-2013, 04:50 PM

3.5 Andrei Markov D MTL

Logan's up

Logan · 09-26-2013, 05:56 PM

3.6 Henrik Sedin - C - VAN

Slightly worried about Torts' affecting the offense but I think he'll hold strong.

bhlloy · 09-26-2013, 06:03 PM

3.7 Eric Staal - C - CAR

correcting spelling. Sending PM now

Suburban Rhythm · 09-26-2013, 07:56 PM

Corey Crawford - G - CHI

Suburban Rhythm · 09-26-2013, 07:57 PM

Just leaving practice now. I'm going to check out ESPN once I'm home.

One day/time works best for everyone if we move to live draft?

sposfan · 09-26-2013, 08:06 PM

Either Sunday or Monday night for me, but whatever works better for you guys. if I'm not available, I have no problem sending a list, so I don't hold things up.

Ajaxab · 09-26-2013, 08:28 PM

Jonathan Toews - C - CHI

Sunday night works for me. Monday night does not.

Looking like this will work. Will just take me a little while to add to everyone's rosters. Can only choose one player from dropdown at a time, add, rinse and repeat.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-26-2013, 10:09 PM

I completed rosters through my last pick.

Also tentatively scheduled draft for 9pm Sunday, but that's not set in stone.

Chief's up!

bhlloy · 09-26-2013, 11:13 PM

Think you skipped logan

sposfan · 09-26-2013, 11:16 PM

DOH! was trying to fill in the picks on a sheet , since it's kind of confusing with the master list not done and I must have skipped one! No biggie, I was debating between 2 players, so if he wants Neal, I have another pick ready to go!

Logan · 09-27-2013, 08:14 AM

You're good with Neal, no problem...

4.5 Rick Nash - LW - NYR

I'll go ahead and PM the next guy.

sposfan · 09-27-2013, 08:24 AM

Thanks!

Suburban Rhythm · 09-27-2013, 08:26 AM

I have a couple things to finish up here this morning, but I'll try and get front page updated soon for tracking purposes.
