I joined as BMac's Leafs. Thanks for doing this bay!

[bayrider]

Maybe one of the mods can sticky this!

What date do you prefer for the draft? I wouldn't mind doing it next week instead of later. I think the sooner we pick a draft day, the more people will actually participate in the draft.

[mikebiacsi]

Sweet! Im so glad that the new hockey season is upon us!!

Edit: THanks for making the draft available at a more accessable time for those of us who live across the pond. Personally i don't mind if the draft starts a couple of hours later.

[bayrider]

If we have the draft on the 8th, I have more choices for times. As it is, I cannot move the draft a couple hours early because all time slots for that day are taken up except for 6am PT which would be tough for our friends on the pacific coast, and maybe a bit too early for those on the east coast looking to sleep in on saturday ;)

[mikebiacsi]

Thats fine, i was just thinking of people who wanted a lie in on the saturday thats all. 9:30am would be awfully early for me ;)

[Fred Derf Veteran]

I'm in.

[ijaxx]

Just added myself.... TML75

This will be my first Fantasy Hockey Season.... Hope i do good.

[rajputwarrior]

i'm in, latimer llamas. thanx for the invite :)

[bayrider]

Good to see more Habs fans! It was getting lonely with ijaxx and fred around ;)

Would anyone be opposed if we had the draft on around the 8th-9th-10th assuming we get 12 players signed up by that date?

[rajputwarrior]

whenever is fine for me, i am always around a computer

[bayrider]

If a couple more people agree, then I'll go ahead with the move. I think the closer we set the date more people will know their schedules, as opposed to having it at the end of the month when people are clueless where they'll be so far in advance. And if more people are there for the draft, the more interested they'll be throughout the season.

awesome, I'm in

[Steffan]

I just joined. The draft time is fine with me. At least when its over, it won't be 1 or 2 in the morning.

[bayrider]

Where's BroChaos at? I see he hasn't posted since mid-June. Let's hope he's okay and can particpate in this year's pool!

[R-Flex]

I'm in. This year, I won't screw up and miss two weeks of it and eventually abandon the thing. I hope to win again, as I did in 2005-2006 (if I might add a little self-congratulation).

[Fred Derf Veteran]

If there is any agreement on changing the draft date and/or time then let me know so I can edit the first post (unless bayrider is able to do it himself). Otherwise I'll assume the info on the first post to be accurate. I'll pre-rank my players in case I miss the draft.

[bayrider]

4 spots remaining!!!

I've PM'ed a bunch of hockey fans here at Neowin, some haven't registered yet, but do so quickly!

R-Flex, what's your team's name?

[bayrider]

A utility player is anyone in the forward/defense position. So anyone in your lineup who is a C, LW, RW or D can take up a util spot.

[Fred Derf Veteran]

I don't believe we had a Util spot last year but... sounds good.

[bayrider]

Ya, I had the same lineup as last season except I added a spot for util for those pesky tues/thurs/sat games where over a dozen teams played and a good portion of your lineup sits benched.

3 spots left!!

[SLeeM@N]
