Better be careful waiting too long to set the draft or you won't have the option to choose tonight

So we don't have a draft time yet? I need to know. I am planning out my day, got tons to do.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 02:39 PM

9pm EST

Pretty it's set but I'll double check.

It's still showing the draft type as offline for me

sposfan · 09-29-2013, 03:19 PM

So sorry guys, I'm camping and had a power failure, we're just out to grab a bite and they have WiFi here, so was able to login. Will try making pick asap, so long as the wife doesn't notice

It looks like the keeper deadline is tonight at 9 - but is the draft set for then?

sposfan · 09-29-2013, 04:17 PM

Let's take a chance on a starting goalie
Braden Holtby G WAS

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 04:35 PM

Won't allow me to set draft time until samifan24 has joined.

samifan24 · 09-29-2013, 04:42 PM

I just joined.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 04:52 PM

OK set for 9p

I'm hoping we make it through round 6 here, only a couple picks to go. I'll get those added, and we'll be good to start at the top of round 7.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 05:50 PM

Looking more and more like we won't finish round 6. I have to have "keepers" in an hour before, so 8p. If we don't complete the round by 7:30, I'll back out the picks I already input, and the 1st round of the online draft will begin with Jon.

Any objections?

britrock88 · 09-29-2013, 06:47 PM

No objection here.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 07:11 PM

Jon will be up first at 9. Any player selected in round 6 is back in the pool.

The Jackal · 09-29-2013, 07:32 PM

Did the draft reset? It looks like everyone is available.

britrock88 · 09-29-2013, 07:40 PM

Just hopped on to the draft room, and I'm seeing the same thing as Jackal.

Jon · 09-29-2013, 07:55 PM

that's my question too. I thought it would be me with the first pick in round 6 but all of my players are gone.

samifan24 · 09-29-2013, 08:11 PM

ESPN sucks. Hopefully we can come up with a workaround soon.

The Jackal · 09-29-2013, 08:14 PM

Can you create a new league asap? Helpful to be able to look at the espn rankings so we can filter using the categories for our league.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 08:14 PM

Are we going with Yahoo?

I don't think yahoo lets you do defensive points, that's the thing. I don't mind doing it on espn still, just have to do it as a full offline draft with everything inputted and it should be fine.

Ajaxab · 09-29-2013, 08:16 PM

I would prefer to stick with ESPN and their position assignments.

The Jackal · 09-29-2013, 08:16 PM

confirmed - no defensive pts category for yahoo

samifan24 · 09-29-2013, 08:17 PM

If everyone is still online for the draft why can't we just draft in this thread right now?

+1 Is sposfan around?

Chief Rum · 09-29-2013, 08:19 PM

6.7 Loui Eriksson - LW/RW - BOS

The Jackal · 09-29-2013, 08:19 PM

I think sposfan isn't here, he mentioned he was out camping.

I'm harping on the positions thing, but it would be good to have the league set up for that as well. I don't want to be taking someone who I think is a LW, but who ends up being labelled a RW by whoever hosts our draft.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 08:23 PM

ESPN won't allow "Offline" as option now...maybe because it wouldn't be complete before seasons started?

What a cluster

What about Yahoo? Worst case we could do a live draft and start over I guess.

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 08:26 PM

Yahoo I can set up still. Difference would be some positions listed, and defensive scoring category

bhlloy · 09-29-2013, 08:31 PM

No defensive scoring category would be disappointing for those of us who loaded up on defensemen, no doubt

Can you nuke the league and people just have to sign up again? Can somebody else set up the league?

Yeah and I feel like people drafted based on the rules would want to redraft from scratch

Suburban Rhythm · 09-29-2013, 08:43 PM

Someone else want to try setting up in ESPN? Maybe giving me issues with one (abandoned) league still setup

britrock88 · 09-29-2013, 09:24 PM

Okay. Here now.

britrock88 · 09-29-2013, 09:26 PM

6.8 Alexander Semin, RW, CAR

samifan24 · 09-29-2013, 09:29 PM

6.9 Jamie Benn, DAL

claphamsa · 09-29-2013, 09:34 PM

go to yahoo do roto and ill join

The Jackal · 09-29-2013, 09:43 PM

I just created an offline draft on ESPN, FYI. I'll get the full details from SR and invite everyone.

bhlloy · 09-29-2013, 09:47 PM

Are we putting a 2 hour limit on this starting tomorrow morning? Given how long it's taken to do 6+ rounds, think we need to if we want to start before week 3.

The Jackal · 09-29-2013, 09:50 PM

I think we should do something like that. Give me a bit to get the league setup and then I'll make my next two picks and we can keep going.

sposfan · 09-29-2013, 09:52 PM

sposfan just made it back. a two hour drive took FOUR FREAKING HOURS. Not even a good accident, just construction. Gotta love when you don't move for 30 minutes and then stop and go for another hour and then it just suddenly clears up and there's nothing....

sposfan is also done referring to himself in the 3rd person

The Jackal · 09-29-2013, 09:55 PM

6.10 Kimmo Timonen - D - PHI
7.1 Bobby Ryan - RW - OTT

samifan24 · 09-29-2013, 10:20 PM

6.11 D Niklas Kronwall, DET

britrock88 · 09-29-2013, 10:25 PM

ORIGINAL PICK

7.3 Marian Hossa, RW, CHI

EDITED PICK

7.3 Max Pacioretty, LW, MTL

britrock88 · 09-29-2013, 10:31 PM

Whoops, Hossa's off the board. Re-working...

bhlloy · 09-29-2013, 11:14 PM

Ryan's a good pick, think he'll have a monster year in Ottawa

I've always liked him - waiting for him to hit UFA so he'll come to Philly like we all know he wants to.

Chief Rum · 09-30-2013, 12:49 AM

7.4 Alex Pietrangelo- D - STL

Suburban Rhythm · 09-30-2013, 08:25 AM
