It appears to be draft time!

It appears to be draft time!

[coleman26]

Gonna guess you want either Pulock, Monohan, Graham, or Ristolainen

[coleman26]

To be fair, I don't think I have a chance at Pulock @ 8. But yes, you pretty much nailed it. Monahan then Ristolainen was my move.

[DollarAndADream]

I've simmed it a couple times already.

NOW it's simming the draft. It has notified me that this is the last schedule period to prepare rookie draft priorities.

[Tangelos]

Lol lucky guess

I wanted ristolainen with the 8th. Ugh ;(

[CanucksFanMike]

I would propose this 4 week schedule if people wanna slow down and do a few less seasons:

Phase #1: Entry draft period

SUN: Draft priority (one day window for all teams to set priority for draft)

MON: Entry draft (you do not need to be on for this as the CPU drafts for you based on draft priority)

Phase #2: Re-sign period

TUE: Re-sign phase (Day 1)

WED: Re-sign phase (Day 2)

THU: Re-sign phase (Day 3)

Phase #3: Free Agency period

FRI: Free agency (Day 1)

SAT: Free Agency (Day 2)

SUN: Free Agency (Day 3)

Phase #4: Offseason period

MON: Offseason (July)

TUE: Offseason (August)

WED: Offseason (September)

Phase #5: Pre-season

THU: Pre-season and designate players to junoirs/minors with waivers off

FRI: Prepare for regular season (one day pause)

Phase #6: Regular season - Part 1

SAT: Regular season (October)

SUN: Regular season (November)

MON: Regular season (December)

TUE: Christmas break (one day pause)

Phase #7: Regular season - Part 2

WED: Regular Season (January)

THU: Regular Season (February)

FRI: Trade deadline (one day pause)

Phase #8: Regular season - Part 3

SAT: Regular Season (March)

SUN: Regular Season (April)

MON: Prepare for playoffs (one day pause)

Phase #9: Playoffs

TUE: Round 1 (all games)

WED: Round 2 (all games)

THU: Round 3 (all games)

FRI: Round 4 (all games)

SAT: Prepare for offseason (one day pause)

So, for all you people arguing a month per season is too long, I would say this: Do you really want to play a ton of seasons and then get to a point where it is all made up players? I have never made it to a full 25 seasons in Be a GM in the past because i got bored of playing with made up players and the longer it goes into the future the more unrealistic it gets. Tomorrow is October 1, and NHL 14 wont come out until this coming September.... this means we will have time to get more than 10 seasons in with this system. I think that might even be pushing it a little in terms of how realistic it will be by the time we get to the 10th and 11th season.

DAAD, BoGs, and fellow GMs, please consider this detailed, well thought-out proposal as I beleive it makes a lot of sense for this great league of ours.

Too few seasons. there has to be a reasonable 3 weeks per season/17 seasons over the year schedule. A month is way too long, to be honest I find it slow as it is. 2 less days in Free Agency, 4 less days in the season, no Christmas break and we're down to 3 weeks

[mpt]

I still think this is the best schedule

Day 1 - Preseason and October

Day 2 - Novemeber

Day 3 - December

Day 4 - January

Day 5 - To Trade Deadline

Day 6 - Day off for Trading

Day 7 - End of season

Day 8 - Playoffs

Day 9 - Draft and start re-signing

Day 10 - Re-signing (2 sims AM and PM)

Day 11 - Re-signing (2 sims AM and PM)

Day 12 - UFA

Day 13 - UFA

Day 14 - UFA

I like that schedule ^. Also Trav, could you tell me the CDC name of the Oilers GM, I still haven't got Paajarvi after a whole season and was hoping I could have him to start next season. I checked the OP and saw Oil Rigger listed as the Oilers GM, and I know that he isn't the GM at the moment.

Thanks!

Send the Paarjavi trade again, It will get accepted in by the end of the night

[FS91]

Damn 6th pick turned into 7th and missed out on the players I wanted

[n00bxQb]

What time did the draft start? Just curious as I want to check on my picks when it's done. Usually took around 60-75 minutes to advance during my test GMCs.

[Tangelos]

Well did I get the 1st pick???

[Danthecanucksfan]

Drafts over I believe ^^

[DollarAndADream]

Simming to the first re-sign phase.

Right now it has a thing that says "Prep for Re-Sign Phase", but you can't do anything there other than look at your contracts.

[DollarAndADream]

There was nowhere that I saw how to look at the completed draft, but I'll look again after this current sim.

Edit: I didn't even notice I have 10,000 posts on CDC now. 19 posts ago. Yay?

Holy crap look at all the players people need to re-sign. (Top FA's)
