The race is on Tim on who drafts Tom Wilson first

Thinking I'll schedule the draft for next Tuesday night. That will give people a week or so to make trades and waiver acquisitions. I will be on the road and not likely to participate but have at it.

Thanks for the live draft, that'll be awesome. When you know, please confirm the starting time, etc. Thanks T.C.

Anybody drafting a goalie in the first 2 rounds? Is Binnington 2nd round worthy?

Draft time 8 pm on 9/24. It’s posted on your team site if you go check. FYI

figure it's a reasonable time for people in this time zone, and the absolute earliest time that i might have a slight chance of being able to make it myself. we shall see.

Now if we want to get really crazy, we do keepers in my football league. You can keep up to 3 players for a max of 3 years per player. You lose the draft pick in which you drafted that player in order to keep him. It almost gives it a franchise mode feel. There are a few other rules but that is the basic premise.

That's awesome Matthew! I agree with this. Puts a wrinkle into drafting in terms of hitting on rookies late in the draft. You get to retain them at the expense of a late draft pick which is a bargain. It does put this in franchise mode and make you more of a GM. I think it's cool and adds more strategy.

Pass on the keepers.

Keeper leagues are fun, but there are too many teams, you're taking 60 players out of the draft pool each season, plus this league tends to have a bit of turnover.

i originally wanted to do a keepers league - we're talking almost 20 years ago now - but the early years had too much turnover. if we get to the point where we have a pretty consistent base of participants for a few years, i would be open to entertaining it. but generally agree with DPW, funner to just blow it up and start over every year. but i will say for keepers, it makes trades more interesting.

Is the draft order known already so I can prepare or is it just going to be random?

i believe it's based on last season's finishing spots.

Dont forget, live draft tonight
