UMB Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Welcome to the 2014 CDC Virtual Hockey League Entry Draft! Rules Time limits: Round 1: 90 minutes Round 2: 75 minutes Round 3: 60 minutes Round 4 and 5: 30 minutes Clock does not run from 12AM to 10AM PST If you miss your pick you will be automatically assigned the best player available (BPA) NO SWITCHING PICKS. However if you show up really close to your BPA time I may be lenient and allow you to repick if the person after you has not picked yet. Try and show up when it's your turn to pick instead of waiting for the whole pick time, that'd be nice If you miss your pick twice it's an automatic BPA for the rest of the draft, you've wasted enough of the leagues time and therefore you shouldn't be allowed to waste more. https://docs.google....cyMFdmNHc#gid=1 Spreadsheet is complete. Please go through your individual teams picks and make sure the spreadsheet is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AriGold Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 With the 1st overall pick in the 2014 draft the New York Rangers are proud to select from the Kootney Ice of the WHL. Sam Reinhart Being compared to Sidney Crosby doesn't happen to often so taking the likes of Sam was a no brainer for the Rangers. He's a dominating force in the WHL and at the age of 17 is 6'1 180lbs. He has size, speed, amazing puck handling skills and a nack for scoring. We expect Sam to jump right into the NHL next year and make an immediate impact. Welcome to New York Sam ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
