Saturday at 12 noon EST.

Tonight's the NHL draft, so I made a chat so we could all sit around an internet chat and sing Kumbaya and get to know each other.

I'm stuck at work that day but will be available via MSN. Any way I can send the picks in that way since they'll probably be updated as we go on here?

Yeah. Let me know what your MSN is. You could also use AIM if you wanted to. I'll be around most of, if not all of, the day.

I won't be on the for the draft today. I'm headed to Rexall for the Draft Party, free BBQ and watch on the jumbotron. hopefully there will be no boos al la when edmonton hosted and drafted Steve Kelly ahead of Shane Doan with the crowd chanting Doan's name.

I'm thinkin if we pick Seguin there may be some boos. Hall has had all the hype esp with being able to go to the memorial cup regardless it shall be interesting. I'll post a vid if i can later tonight of the atmosphere!

Heh heh heh. I remember when the Oil inexplicably passed over Doan and he fell into the Jets' lap. I had to hold my breath until they announced the pick though as I was almost certain the Jets were going to draft another Sergei Bautin instead...

Yeah, he's not really famous unless you're a Jets fan. Winnipeg GM Mike "Mikhail" Smith drafted this literally unknown defenseman named Sergei Bautin with the Jets' first round pick in 1992, and nobody at the draft even knew who he was. The Jets brass were so sure this guy was a diamond in the rough that they were willing to throw away the 17th overall pick to get him, instead of signing him as an undrafted free agent and selecting an actual prospect with the pick.

Jason Smith and Martin Straka were drafted immediately after Bautin.

I remember Bautin. Even the Strat-O-Matic raters hated him. Must've been Jets fans.

It wasn't because they hated Bautin, it was because he sucked ass.

My Jets fan friends and I were actually all rooting for Bautin to be the next Vladimir Konstantinov, if for no other reason than to make the franchise look a little less incompetent.

Love the draft talk, gents. Let's carry it over into the chat which starts in about an hour and a half. I'd love to see you all there. I think it'd be great for the league.

PM sent. And just to note guys, "GOAL! GOAL! LANDON DONOVAN!" is NOT me making a pick. Mostly because I'm pretty sure that Landon isn't in this draft.

I'll be there tonight (after 6pm MDT) but I'll also be juggling putting the finishing touches on my scouting workbook, watching the Jays take on Roy Halladay, and talking with the gf.

It was a joy talking with a good portion of you guys tonight. Thanks for coming to the chat.

We'll try and find times periodically to put one of these together again.

To echo Adam, I enjoyed the chat and the turnout tonight. It was definitely a lot of fun.

The file is updated and uploaded, gents. It rests on the 17 until after the draft is completed. Good luck to everyone. http://ehechockey.com/EHEC.zip

Not sure when it'll be made, Zaq. Probably ought to send a list just to make sure.

Finally got Bernier's Awards section up after he's been nagging me about it for a week. I also stored all of the simulations from this year into a forum. I wish I could find a way to remove some forums, I feel like we have too many. Way too many.

But anyway, here's this: http://www.ehechockey.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=37

Yes, I removed it.

I can always start it back up, but nobody really used it anyway.
