Eastside's Hockey Elite Collide

Okay folks, the draft starts today, at noon eastern time...in case there was anyone who hadn't gotten the memo.

All the trades (exc COL-WSH) have been entered, and the file updated:
http://www.ehechockey.com/EHEC.zip

Please take a look at the file soon to make sure I didn't miss any players, and you should also double check that no one had a con drop that didn't get recorded (they don't always show up in the news tab in the game).

The file will not be advanced until after the draft is completed...which will be a while, if past experience indicates future performance. As a reminder, below are the time limits for each round. The clock starts as soon as the previous pick is announced.

Round Time Limit
1st -- 12 hrs
2nd -- 12 hrs
3rd -- 8 hrs
4th -- 8 hrs
5th -- 6 hrs
6th -- 6 hrs
7th -- 6 hrs

Who's inactive and not expected to draft? Nashville, Philly, Montreal (has no picks anyways)... are they just getting top CSB?

We've gone by top NHL CSB, esp since EHM doesn't value defensemen properly.

Right, I mean is NSH going to be auto'd or are we going to wait 12 hours for his pick... he hasn't logged on since April.

Anyone who hasn't been around will be auto'd, along with orphan teams. So NSH, PHI, MTL, CHI, probably BUF too.

Alright, folks! We're under way! Good luck to everybody!

Would be interested in getting back into the first round for the right price.

I'd consider moving a combination of:

Magnus Hellberg
Yann Sauve
Rasmus Bengtsson
VAN 2nd 2014
NYR 2nd 2014
DET 2nd 2015
DAL 2nd 2015

Will listen to other ideas.

I go back to Canada for one weekend, and you guys have an orgy of trades...

No need to be jealous or anything.

I left for Vegas for a week and nobody did shit.

Jealous?

Are you sure they didn't?

First round is done! Way to keep things moving, guys. Let's keep the momentum going!

Just a reminder, to keep things moving along, you can always pm me and Adam a draft list, if you're going to be away for a while.

38th ov is open for offers.

I have possession of 113th overall fyi

Check.

Ok, folks, we're moving through the fifth round now, so a couple things as we come closer to the end of this year's draft:

1. If you want to help speed things along, consider sending a draft list or instructions for your turn if you think you might miss it. Time limit for picks from now to the end of the draft is six hours from the previous pick.

2. Remember that 6th and 7th round picks cannot be traded.

Sorry for the hold up but I'm pretty sure I sent a message requesting to be auto'ed.

Auto me in the 6th and 7th round as well.

Same here.

Thanks, guys. Hopefully we'll get through the draft before too long and get to the free agency period. Plus, we'll come up with some rewards for draft review write-ups.

Here is the list of rewards for those submitting draft reviews. The number in brackets after each is the number of teams that will receive that award. I will wait to see if any more reviews come in tonight, and make the team and player selections tomorrow morning. All selections are random--except for numbers 1 and 8--so you take what you get.

Eligible teams so far: ANA, ARI, CGY, CAR, DAL, EDM, FLA, LA, NYI, NYR, OTT, SJ, TB, TOR, VAN, WSH, WPG

cap space plz

Fuck yes, +2 CON is sweet for all of the ~70ish CON prospects I took. Too bad I didn't take any pot boosters though.

The height boosts went to players who can actually use them, so the RNG must have been kind this year.

Sweet!!

lol.

I almost chubbed up a bit thinking I'd be able to POT boost Connor Crisp....guess not though.

Awesome stuff.

6. One free booster (no $250K surcharge) AND 12 ceiling points (4 for each main OF or DF ceiling) [1]
Ottawa Senators -- Eetu Sopanen

Please add the 4 points to CHK, POS and HIT.

I like my reward.
Forsling just added 45 ceiling points to HI so I guess I might be a little jealous.

Julien and Zaq -- since both your guys can play center or wing, let me know which boost you'd like.

FA.

Well i feel left out now

It's funny cause one of my favorite comedians is Marc Maron.

Skating, why not

You get a nice participant ribbon too.

Are the draft review rewards supposed to be entered by now? I'm asking because Nedeljkovic didn't get his boost. Just making sure...
