Draft is usually a week, ten days before the season starts.
I have not looked at dates yet

If anyone would like the following:

Morgan Riley
Tory Krug
T.J. Brodie

They can be had for a high draft pick. I'm Methot to my Madness. Just propose a trade.

I couldn't think of any clever Habs puns that didn't involve Carey Price so went with my hometown team instead.

Hey all, so I can't guarantee I will be available for the draft (not sure on time or day, saw it was about a week before season starts). That being said, if you are able to give a hard time and date I can make arrangements to be there. Or if you would rather, feel free to invite another GM in to manage my team "Hamster Dome Nuckleheads" . I enjoyed last years season but no hard feelings if you have someone chomping at the bit to get in and want to give them a shot. Thanks

I'll play my team is the Sheffield Steelers

I might miss the draft this time round though as I'm moving house so might not have internet for two weeks.

Can a team select 2 goalies as keepers? I thought we have to select keepers 6+3+1. Vasteras Vikings and Concussion Junction each has 2.

I had forgot to assign the trophies from last season so now most of them have been assigned.
However, we are supposed to vote on the most dedicated GM. Inglosious Basterds won in 2015. Can I get some votes for 2016?

High Stickin reporting in.

I think the easy fix for the teams keeping excess GK's is for them simply to have to release one of them before the draft. That they didn't get to keep the full amount of keepers is their own fault for not following the rules.

If a team doesn't have all 10 keepers then they'd get the top pick in the draft and I don't think that is right.
As League Manager I can edit the keeper selections and I will.

Some feel the rule of number of players allowed/must be kept hasn't been clear (it is a rule we've made up in this league and isn't anywhere on the ESPN site)
I will allow them to make their choice of who to keep

The draft will be on October 8th if a majority of the league doesn't feel otherwise
Time is to be determined

I vote for myself then! (if not - then SURA).

Sat., Oct. 8 at 1:00 AM ET is fine with me. I assume that is 7 AM CET?
