I've been lurking. Plus, Vik PMed me.

I see I've got some work to do.

Ok guys, still on the clock, and I'm open to move down. Offers?

flyergp21 · Post by **flyergp21** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 12:58 pm

I'm working on 3 offers right now. I should be ready soon.

Welcome back, Adam!
I know it seems like everybody's trying to move up, but I've got a bunch of secound-round picks. I could trade two for a first-rounder.

You wanted to trade down from Connor?? Sheesh, I thought he should have been picked like 6 or so spots earlier.

flyergp21 · Post by **flyergp21** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 1:45 pm

Well, I like him, he just doesn't have anything flashy, no wow factor.

Calgary.Flames · Post by **Calgary.Flames** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 1:55 pm

It's a great day for our beloved EHEC, Adam is back. Waking up to this kind of news is almost like waking up to a blowj... it's just a good feeling.

This. I really need to stop chasing the draft day highs, but Connor approaching the middle of the round was crazy.

Looking at what's available for pick #17. PM me.

Jets GM · Post by **Jets GM** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 2:19 pm

Capitals GM appearance!

Calgary.Flames · Post by **Calgary.Flames** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:27 pm

I made the pick, Thanks for your interest, guys.

I don't know about y'all, but I will probably leave and return to EHEC more times than all of us combined will wake up to a beej. Even a hand jibber, for that matter.

We seem to be moving along nicely again. Great! Plus, Raymond (NJ) gave me a list for his first round, so hopes are high that yr commish will actually get to make his pick tonight...

AP21 (ARZ) · Post by **AP21 (ARZ)** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:38 pm

I won't be making my pick before 4:30, just so you don't click Refresh every 5 minutes.

Calgary.Flames · Post by **Calgary.Flames** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 3:39 pm

I think he's a great pick at #17 too.

MartyFromOTTAWA · Post by **MartyFromOTTAWA** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:10 pm

I'm pretty sure no one wants to move up in the draft anymore after this.

Riiight. No good prospects left anymore, so send your picks to me plz.

BLUESGM · Post by **BLUESGM** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:40 pm

I dunno if this would have been a smart pick or not at 6, but if I kept the pick Kylington was going to be the guy I took.

Vik (Habs) · Post by **Vik (Habs)** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 4:59 pm

Looking at a couple offers right now. Might take some time before making the pick.

flyergp21 · Post by **flyergp21** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 6:01 pm

Who took Meier, NJ or LA??

What about FLA's next pick, are we gonna wait another 12 hours?

Nope.

Commish Bub(NYR) · Post by **Commish Bub(NYR)** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 9:01 pm

Took us nearly two days to get the first round completed last year.

We've got 15 hours to get there this time around.

Calgary.Flames · Post by **Calgary.Flames** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 9:23 pm

If Hugo shows up, which I heard he will, we're good for a couple more picks tonight.

Vik (Habs) · Post by **Vik (Habs)** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 10:41 pm

Assuming we're auto-ing Florida's pick, everyone's online to get through pick #29 right now.

Calgary.Flames · Post by **Calgary.Flames** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 10:42 pm

We'll get by the 1st round tonight! Good work, guys!

flyergp21 · Post by **flyergp21** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 11:00 pm

Yes! Go Hugo!

Was curious when the best booster of the class would go. Little surprised it's in the 1st but he could be real good.

Welcome back, 'Lumbus.

Best booster forward

The first round went pretty much as I expected, other than Connor's inexplicable drop and a couple of players going earlier than I expected.

e: oh, Knott dropped further than I thought too. I had him ranked alongside Pilon in the early-mid teens. Nuts to you, Hugo!

We should have a few rounds of "18+ growth spurt roulette" next year.

BlackHawk Down (Seb) · Sun Jun 28, 2015 12:12 am

Caps GM I believe is away for now. Probably will make pick tomorrow morning.

Takes a look at Dylan Larkin. Agrees with said proposal. Cries about trading twenty seven.

Vik (Habs) · Post by **Vik (Habs)** » Sun Jun 28, 2015 3:07 am

Someone should trade a 2nd to Anaheim, Arizona, or New Jersey. That way, three teams would be picking half the 2nd round.

Devils_GM · Post by **Devils_GM** » Sun Jun 28, 2015 6:00 am

Sounds like a good idea, I have some guys on the block that could be worth a 2nd as well!!!

AnaheimGM · Post by **AnaheimGM** » Sun Jun 28, 2015 8:13 am

2nd picks are welcomed in Anaheim if someone want to trade me one or 2 more

Man, I remember the bitching at the start over guys like Subban, Carlson, etc. 1.15b wasn't kind to those cats. But, hey, at least Connor Brickley was superhuman.

BlackHawk Down (Seb) · Sun Jun 28, 2015 9:18 am

On the full draft results topic we are missing PHI 23rd pick of Zboril I think as Phi still reads on the block

Yeah, stop with the hoarding of picks already, guys. Share the wealth!

Virtual Jarmo · Post by **Virtual Jarmo** » Sun Jun 28, 2015 12:37 pm

Been doing some scouting of my 2nd rounder. Really great draft class, Pat. It was always monotonous for me to do the draft class, but I always enjoyed the challenge of making the puzzle and using all the pieces.

Top notch stuff, Bub. Very well done.

Thanks, Jarmo, I really appreciate that.

Just tried to remember that this was a deep draft, so you could find useful guys all up and down the draft boards. And have some fun with some POT boosters and some potential CON boosters as well.

It was a long slog making the draft. But one thing that helped A LOT was breaking it up by position. I did the top 20 or so guys, then just went and did all the defensemen next. It really helped me remember how I was trending the ratings downward as I went lower on the draft boards. Then goalies, then forwards.

Fun fact: I rated about 170 guys and went "Woo! I'm done! All five rounds done! Wait....how many rounds do we have again? Crap."

Holy shit Islanders make your pick please sir!
Had time to wank 3 times since you're online

sorry guys - trade talks

Penguin · Post by **Penguin** » Sun Jun 28, 2015 4:36 pm

We need to change the time limit. Once logged in, 1h to make your pick. 12 hour is just ridiculously long for everyone.
I understand you are getting a lot of interest for your pick and you are waiting for the best offer, but if everyone does this, we will end the draft in 2 weeks.
