Popular Post Master Mind Posted May 22, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2018 I've had about 3 or 4 messages on this, and just to clear the air: There's no hard time limits on picks. If someone needs to take their time to make a pick, that's perfectly fine. At the same time though, I wouldn't mind us getting through a good chunk of the draft by the time the RL draft starts. Many of us are in other leagues, where we have a bunch of drafts coming up. Perhaps some people like doing all their drafts at once, but I'd prefer them spread out if possible. So basically, take your time to make your pick, just don't take weeks to do it 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Yeah Monty!

Now that is the kind of draft I like! lolz. Not everyone lives and dies by CDC like I do, so I understand why others take a long time. As for my pick, was ridiculously easy. I compiled my list of 10 guys (and add to it once someone is taken), so picking someone won’t take me long. Once I see that I’m up, I’ll select. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 yeah: i totally admit to my first world problems....."oh noes, the hockey website chat rooms fantasy league guys are being so slow here in May, drafting our teams for October, i may just have to die". So yeah i get it..but at the same time, I am like you and have known for some time who my targets are at every draft I am in...the hard part is narrowing down the top three on my lists once its close to or at my turn, haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallstreetamigo Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Just my 2 pennies, but I would respectfully dispute the notion that taking time on a pick suggests a GM is somehow less prepared or unprepared. There are always other factors to consider. For me, I have an AGM whose opinion I highly value so I always want to hear the pros and cons from him. Plus the fact that sometimes me being on CDC doesnt necessarily reflect that I am looking at fantasy hockey stuff. I have a list of players I like too well before my pick comes up but the other guys being taken off the board along the way can also impact which way I go. I see no issue taking a bit of time to flesh out the decision. That's part of the fun to me, reasoning out those decisions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better grab (another) one, before they all disappear... With our second pick, the Vancouver Canucks create a déjà vu goaltender controversy by selecting Tuukka Rask. @Captain Azzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely the best move you can make when going for it. Will be a big loss afterward though (I hope you read that no trades can take place between the trade deadline and keeper selection deadline, meaning if you load up you can't re-sell them after playoffs). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks are going for it, and the loading-up-loss will be for all those wishing to contend, with the maximum skaters allowed to be kept, too. We'll see how this plan goes, need to try some way to separate ourselves from this superior group of GM's! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
