[SuperMcGee]

zip zip da whip

Islanders

[fischbowl]

<- Edmonton Oilers.

Let's make this a deep draft, eh?

[Chucky]

Can we make it 3 years instead of 5?

[Sniper]

Can we make it 3 years instead of 5?

Okay. No problem.

[slightlyaraiderfan]

would like to join, but i won't have computer access for a week

[Chucky]

would like to join, but i won't have computer access for a week

you could send in a really, really big big board

[HChu]

Put me down as the Caps.

[SuperMcGee]

Just wouldn't be the same if I wasn't threatened when I take Backstrom.

[HChu]

Just wouldn't be the same if I wasn't threatened when I take Backstrom.

Don't you f'ing dare.

[Hines]

I guess I will try and do one of these. You know who I be.

[TimD]

count me in as the wings. unless xio joins. then ill be the yotes.

[MaxV]

Ok, since Pens are already taken, I'll be the Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim.

[iBoldin]

Sniper told me to join up, and it looks like it has some legs this time, so I'm in.

Give me Columbus, please.

[Job]

I'll take the Blues.

[619]

Sniper told me to join up, and it looks like it has some legs this time, so I'm in.

Give me Columbus, please.

I'll take the Flames if you want the Canucks.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

I'll take the Sens and I believe that's 12 so let's get this started.

[Chucky]

We definately should not do more than 12

[Sniper]

I went to random.org and got a list from them. I got the #1 pick, so I'll start it off. I've never given myself the #1 pick in any draft I've made before, so don't think I altered it.

Link to selection thread.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Hmmm I wonder who Sniper will take first. Maybe a maritimer with a ring?







Dan Cleary!

[Sniper]

Vancouver until 7:45.

2 hour clock. Please leave lists if you won't be around.

[Sniper]

Anaheim until 7:45.

[Chucky]

If Max isnt here by the time the clock is done you can switch his pick with mine so he doesnt get totally ******.

[619]

It's no secret he wants Geno. Don't be an ass.

[Chucky]

It's no secret he wants Geno. Don't be an ass.

:(

We might as well just make the pick now then

[SuperMcGee]

You go with the parent pic and don't even show off these two?

http://viewfrommyseats.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/malkin-parents.jpg

Malkin is too sexy, and I don't think I've ever seen a more obvious pick than this #3.

I dunno, Monster is all that and more

[Xiomera]

Consider me a judge.

[Wootylicous]

OMG im in !

[Wootylicous]

I'll take the kings btw !

[Sniper]

Too late, Wooty.

[Sniper]

Ottawa until 9:30

[Sniper]

McGee until 10:10.

[MaxV]

Wait, I didn't know we were selecting already.

But I'm happy with my pick. :)

[Sniper]

I'd feel bad about skipping someone during the first couple of rounds, for obvious reasons. Therefore, the first three rounds will have no clock.

[MaxV]

No problem. I didn't think we'd be picking right away, I would've made a list.

With that being said, you can't pick another player in that spot. That's a pretty safe call.

[Sniper]

Yep. The third pick is always a no-brainer.

[Sniper]

Caps are up.

[Wootylicous]

Wow...**** that ****.

[Chucky]

Pick will be up in a moment

[Sniper]

Fisch is OTC.

[Chucky]

hope everyone realizes this is a 3 year thing

[TimD]

yeah.

i think lidstrom has at least 3 years left in his tank.

[Job]

I've seen both 3 and 5. Which is it?

[fischbowl]

Sorry gents, I was at work. I usually am all day all week

[HChu]

Sorry gents, I was at work. I usually am all day all week

You no good lady of the night.

[Sniper]

St. Lou is up.

[Chucky]

Sorry gents, I was at work. I usually am all day all week

you should start sending in big boards so you dont get skipped.

I have McGee's BB BTW

[Job]

Then use it.

[MaxV]

Guys, if I may make a request.

Please post the name of your team with the pick.

[Chucky]

Did Todd send a board?

[SuperMcGee]

No problem, Chucky. Thanks for doing it, I just got back and thought it would've been done by now anyway. Still, Nash was the guy I was hoping for :mad:

[Chucky]

No problem, Chucky. Thanks for doing it, I just got back and thought it would've been done by now anyway. Still, Nash was the guy I was hoping for :mad:

After like the 4th pick its a complete free-for-all and pretty impossible to tell who is gonna go where. I think Parise and Nash were the right picks but im sure to others they might seem questionable. Some of the players i was considering instead of Nash are still available

[Job]

Yup. It's getting really interesting now. I had considered Parise for my first pick, and would have considered Nash but had targeted Toews in the second because, though he might not have been BPA, I really wanted him and didn't think he'd last until the 3rd.

[Chucky]

Did 619 send in a bb or are we done for the night?

[619]

Did 619 send in a bb or are we done for the night?

We are not done for the night. I'll have my pick up in a bit.

[619]

Carter was already taken, Tim.

[SuperMcGee]

What just happened, there?

Was he picking for Montreal or just way out of turn?

[619]

Wow. I didn't even notice that. Sniper is up.

[Sniper]

What just happened, there?

Was he picking for Montreal or just way out of turn?

Way out of turn.

[Jensen]

No way Joe Thornton should've fallen that far. Steal for whoever picked him up.

[Sniper]

http://www.draftcountdown.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1761054&posted=1#post1761054

Please keep your depth charts updated with the handy-dandy depth chart thread!

[TimD]

sorry about that. won't happen again.

[Wootylicous]

Are you guys counting injuries in ? cause gaborik is ALWAYS injured and that isn't a good choice if so.

[Sniper]

Still waiting on Todd.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Sorry, just got off work. Picking now...

[Job]

So my 3 targets get taken the 3 picks right before me. **** you all.

[Job]

lulz wrong thread.

[Chucky]

So I messaged Hines when he was on telling him he was up and to make his pick....and then he went offline.

Could he have lost interest on this thing already?

[Sniper]

I've got a board for him. Give me a minute.

EDIT: Never mind. Caps are OTC.

[Chucky]

I might be going to see district 9 soon so i sent sniper my board

EDIT- I'm leaving

[Chucky]

Cant wait until the clock starts

[Sniper]

Boldin is OTC. Clock will start in round 4.

[Sniper]

I made one pick for Detroit, but the list stopped after that. Detroit is now OTC until 5:40. Skipping will now start if need be. Please send lists.

[Chucky]

Yay!!!

The clock has started...woot!

also, I cant believe Backstrom and Hossa lasted this long.

[SuperMcGee]

yay moving!

Boo to Backstrom being taken.

[HChu]

I hate you TimDris. Pure hatred.

[HChu]

I took Jeff Carter.

[Sniper]

Yeah, he has until 5:40 to change his pick. By the way, I always update the front page so you guys can Ctrl+F to see if a player's been picked.

[Sniper]

Fisch is OTC until 7:30.

[MaxV]

Hines, I've picked Lecavalier already.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Vinny is long gone Hines.

[Sniper]

If you pick someone that's already been picked, you are skipped. You can make your pick up at any time.

[Sniper]

St. Louis until 10 am tomorrow

[Hines]

Sorry about that. Edited my pick.

[Job]

It's starting to be really hard to choose.

[Sniper]

Ottawa until 10 in the morning.

Detroit must change the Jeff Carter pick and Edmonton needs to make-up a pick.

[Chucky]

It's starting to be really hard to choose.

The Hossa pick for me was pretty easy...as I think he was great value.

Choosing between Phaneuf and others was pretty damn hard as I was unsure if he would last to my next pick or not. Usually he would be long gone by now but he had a bit of a down year.

I really needed a number 1 D-Man though

[Job]

lulz Vanek twice for the same team is misleading.

[SuperMcGee]

TV Party! Got him twice!

[Sniper]

Vancouver until 2. Still need Detroit to change the Jeff Carter pick. Edmonton and Ottawa need to make-up a pick.

[Sniper]

Vancouver again until 4:30. Need make-ups from Vancouver (x1), Detroit (switch the Carter pick), and Ottawa (x1).

[619]

I'll have my make-up pick and my next pick up soon enough.

[Sniper]

Ottawa until 7:25

[Sniper]

McGee until 8.

[Sniper]

Pittsburgh until 8:15.

[Job]

Yeah Todd, just as I was thinking Seabrook might last til my turn, you picked him. :(

[Chucky]

Is the clock one hour or two?

Either way at least Washington is skipped.

[MaxV]

My bad Todd.

[Sniper]

Detroit is skipped. Columbus is OTC until 10 am.

[Job]

Is Tim dead?

[Sniper]

Fisch until 10 am.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

My bad Todd.

No problem. I should've sent it to Sniper as well. Got my top 2 guys anyways so it's all good.

[Sniper]

Pittsburgh until 12.

[iBoldin]

I don't get the Henrik pick. He's nothing without Daniel. Widely proved.

Unless we're having a trading sesh after the draft?

[Chucky]

I don't get the Henrik pick. He's nothing without Daniel. Widely proved.

Unless we're having a trading sesh after the draft?

While that is probably true... I hate when people take one of the twins and then think they can wait forever to get the other one cuz no one will take him. So I applaud Hines for his pick

[Todd Bertuzzi]

St. Louis is still otc. McGee can pick too since it's has been well over two hours.

[Job]

Sorry guys, had totally forgotten about sending the BB until I was long gone.

[fischbowl]

Have we picked all day?

[Sniper]

Have we picked all day?

We'll pick it up tomorrow.

[Xiomera]

Hey, how come no one has drafted 'The Deadly One' yet?

Sniper, I'm looking at you . . .

[djp]

It's over, McGee wins

These NHL drafts are pointless because once someone takes Mikko, they are automatically the winner

[SuperMcGee]

It's over, McGee wins

These NHL drafts are pointless because once someone takes Mikko, they are automatically the winner

Truth. I just had to fit in Timonen as usual before I ended it, and Vanek for my own pleasure.

And Sniper is skipped, I think.

[619]

I guess I can make my next selection.

Pick will be up soon.

[Wootylicous]

I can't believe a guy who I won't name is falling right now. This is a real joke.

[fischbowl]

Woot, take over for me. I won't have the interwebzz for a week!

[Wootylicous]

I will take over for you !

[fischbowl]

I will take over for you !

HIP HIP HOORAY!

[SuperMcGee]

Todd can pick whenever.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

K gimme a sec here.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Nice pick McGee. I was really close to taking Hemsky, but I opted for Havlat at the last minute.

[SuperMcGee]

I almost took Hemsky last round. He's so slick. Originally I wanted Doan, and was about to pull the trigger on Hemmer when I missed out on him. Glad that worked out. I probably would've taken the remaining Marty if either of the previous two picks were Hemsky.

[Job]

Well, somebody had to do it...

[MaxV]

Guys, could you PLEASE name your team when you are picking.

[Job]

kinda funny that you didn't do it either.

[MaxV]

kinda funny that you didn't do it either.

There. All good. :)

[fischbowl]

So who's up?

[SuperMcGee]

Hines should be, with Sniper to make up picks. Tim, too, if he's still around.

I suppose HChu could pick if he's around, probably about that time.

[Chucky]

There is no point waiting for TimDris....there is no sign of him showing up...just pick again iboldin

[Wootylicous]

Tomas Kaberle = to Andrei Markov ? Are you on drugs chucky hahahaha

[Chucky]

Tomas Kaberle = to Andrei Markov ? Are you on drugs chucky hahahaha

Kaberle had a bit of a down year as a result of all the trade rumours....but I think it is a pretty a valid comparison...also woot I believe you have a makeup pick.

[Wootylicous]

I don't know for the makeup pick I think fisch selected Brian Campbell but im not sure about that

[Chucky]

I don't know for the makeup pick I think fisch selected Brian Campbell but im not sure about that

I had not realized that fisch had made makeup pick so i just automatically skipped him. My bad....Luckily Franzen is still there(the guy you wanted before I believe) so all is good. My bad though

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Nice pick HChu. I would've jumped on Brown, but I needed a first line winger.

[619]

What are we going to do with Tim's team?

[Job]

nothin'...

His team is pretty much doomed, and it would be kinda unfair to put those 3 players back in the pool.

[djp]

I would say Kaberle = Markov

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Who's up? Rangers?

[SuperMcGee]

Who's up? Rangers?

Ewwwww. I'm totally the Islanders!

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Anaheim is up.

[MaxV]

I'm here, give me a minute fellas.

[Wootylicous]

I'm Edmonton do I have a makeup pick ?

[Job]

Oh **** you!!

I wanted Hedman to go alongside Pronger and Chara. :(

[Wootylicous]

Well yeah I expected him to go a bit earlier but it's the perfect place to pick him !

BEAST!

[iBoldin]

Vancouver is up followed by Montreal twice when we resume tomorrow.

[Sniper]

Draft is postponed until Saturday.

[Wootylicous]

Why are we stopping the draft ?

[Sniper]

Sorry about that. Draft is now continuing. Vancouver is OTC until 8:20 Eastern.

[Wootylicous]

Someone pick !

[Sniper]

Vancouver until noon.

[619]

Sorry, I had no idea I was OTC. Gimme a sec.

[HChu]

Seto was a steal at this point. Nice pick.

[Wootylicous]

Can I go ahead and pick seriously ?

[Todd Bertuzzi]

Nik Kronwall is already gone Hines.

[Hines]

Sorry, hungover and feel like ****. I will change it.

[SuperMcGee]

Once I figure out how he's stealing all of my guys, Chucky is going down.

[Job]

I sent my BB to Sniper, so don't you dare skip me if Snipe ain't there.

[Job]

Is this kinda dead?

[SuperMcGee]

Hines should pick if he's here, we'll see how it goes. Not sure if people are still into this.

[619]

Is this kinda dead?

Eight-person draft would've been a good number. Just too many people in this one, imo.

[MaxV]

I'm still willing to continue, if possible.

[Todd Bertuzzi]

I think Washington's up.
