Let's just start the draft next week. I'm all for that. I already have Lou Lamoriello pegged for my head coach category.

Until two weeks before the playoffs when you'll fire him and appoint yourself head coach.

Logan · 03-05-2008, 05:24 PM

I'm in bsak.

Son of a...!

The brothers are right...this draft is too much. Please delete this thread.

DeToxRox · 03-05-2008, 05:48 PM

Ill fuck all yals shit up whenever. Paul Maurice best coach ever. FTW

Dr. Sak · 03-05-2008, 06:55 PM

Maple Leafs, Lathum, Pumpy Tudors, Johnny93g, Oilers9911, TazFTW, Honolulu_Blue, DeToxRox, Logan, and Suburban Rhythm are in.

That's 10. We can maybe take 2 more.

Chief Rum · 03-05-2008, 11:07 PM

Well, if there's room, I am definitely in. Great idea for a draft, Brian!

Dr. Sak · 03-06-2008, 09:11 AM

Sure Chief you can join. I think Ron is in too...which will make it 12.

We can start the draft monday but I think it might be a good idea for everyone to PM me an email address i can reach them at...either that or your AIM name...so that I can let people know when they are up in the draft.

Lathum · 03-06-2008, 10:49 AM

Is there anyway to begin sooner?

Last draft had good weekend participation

Dr. Sak · 03-06-2008, 01:01 PM

Well with H_B not being able to go till Sunday and Bub Monday...we could start Sunday and just get stalled with one person?

Lathum · 03-06-2008, 03:00 PM

I don't wanna screw anything up, I just will have alot of free time this weekend

TazFTW · 03-06-2008, 07:46 PM

If the lineup is set how about giving us the draft order so that I can visualize the people stealing my picks?

Logan · 03-06-2008, 07:47 PM

Good idea. I'm gonna need to do a ton of planning to have a shot at a mid-level finish.

Sure thing. I did the order today at work via random.org and the order you all signed up for it. I'll post it in the morning.

Logan · 03-06-2008, 07:50 PM

I got nothing to do for a few hours before I hit the sack. How bout going to work now?

Dr. Sak · 03-06-2008, 08:04 PM

Sorry...it is a 30 min drive one way plus tolls. I get to work early so it'll be posted around 730am.

Dr. Sak · 03-07-2008, 06:14 AM

Would you guys like a new thread for the draft or to just continue it in here?

Logan · 03-07-2008, 07:56 AM

Haha...great draft location for me. It's almost like I have the turn all to myself.

I'd just continue it here...

Lathum · 03-07-2008, 08:16 AM

I would chage the title so people know when it is underway

Dr. Sak · 03-07-2008, 08:19 AM

I guess we can start picking now...but we wont start officially getting on people's case to pick till Monday.

Maple Leafs · 03-07-2008, 09:59 AM

I wonder who Oilers99 is targeting?

Logan · 03-07-2008, 10:08 AM

Word is johnny93g has Dougie Gilmour at the top of his board.

Dr. Sak · 03-07-2008, 10:11 AM

The first post will keep track of the draft picks and the teams that each of you have used...

Whichever is faster.

Johnny93g · 03-07-2008, 02:46 PM

With the 1st pick in the FOFC Hockey draft, I select:

Offensive Defensman: Bobby Orr- Bos, Chi

It was actually a 3 horse race. I figure offensive defensman was a position with the least amount of talent, so getting one of the 2 greatest players of all time at a thin position, was important. I am aslo happy he played for just 2 teams. I didn't have many Bruins or Blackhawks on my list at all.

Three Forwards In These Categories

Power Forward:

Sniper:

Playmaker:

Two Defensemen in These Catagories

Offensive Defenseman: Bobby Orr- Bos, Chi

Lockdown Defensman:

Five Other Positions

Big Hitter (can be a forward or defenseman):

Leader (Captain):

Enforcer:

Goalie:

Head Coach:

Lathum · 03-07-2008, 02:52 PM

Pumpy Tudors · 03-07-2008, 02:53 PM

At least to me, that's a pretty good first pick, as far as value is concerned.

Maple Leafs · 03-07-2008, 02:55 PM

Not who I would have taken but certainly not a bad pick.

vtbub · 03-07-2008, 03:25 PM

The most prolific passer that ever played, and a darn good scorer too. My playmaker, Wayne Gretzky-Edmonton Oiler

TazFTW · 03-07-2008, 03:26 PM

Cool. I thought we were going to have to wait until Monday for the next pick.

TazFTW · 03-07-2008, 03:35 PM

dola

If I had the chance I'm not sure if I would have drafted Gretzky because of the team elimination rule.

Fidatelo · 03-07-2008, 03:49 PM

I'm still unclear on that team rule. If someone picks Gretzky as an Oiler, I understand it still precludes them from taking a Ranger. But can they take say Guy Lafleur as a Canadian? Or is that not allowed because he was also a Ranger at one point?

I tried to clarify it a bit in the rules. Now you just pick a player and you get credit for stats he had with all the teams. But at the same time you cannot draft anyone from those teams for the rest of the draft.

Logan · 03-07-2008, 03:53 PM

Not allowed. Think of it like this: right now, every team that has ever been assembled (including defunct teams like Quebec, Hartford) is on your board. Once you select a player, every team he has played for over his entire career will be scratched off. Your remaining roster may have only played for those remaining teams at any point in their career.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-07-2008, 03:58 PM

Does the team elimination rule apply to coaches? For example (and for shits and giggles), if someone picks Paul Maurice, does it mean that they can't pick any Hartford, Carolina, and Toronto players?

I asked that question earlier and yes, coaches eliminate teams.

Johnny93g · 03-07-2008, 04:09 PM

So Vtbub loses the Oilers, Kings, Blues and Rangers now.

Correct?

Yup.

lordscarlet · 03-07-2008, 04:10 PM

Every player that ever played on a team that Gretzky ever played for is no longer available for vtbub.

DeToxRox · 03-07-2008, 04:19 PM

1.3 -The best captain in NHL history. Every season on the same team, and a guy HB will be pissed I have. I select my leader, #19 Steve Yzerman

Johnny93g · 03-07-2008, 04:31 PM

I think Stevie Y is a reach at #3, but it's hard to argue against him. There a few players i would have taken instead.

the fact that he only played for one team is huge.

That is gonna be a huge obstacle

Agreed, which is why it is hard to argue against the pick.

Maybe a reach in greatest players of all time but IMO he's a perfect fit for the category.
