Nucker 67 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Looking forward to this Draft getting underway. Surprised by a couple of picks so far, but not really. I've been back and forth on how I might begin, but who knows at #14. A lot of good young stars in the league, but I wonder where the old dudes (Crosby and Ovechkin) will eventually go. Will BOS take a bit of a nose-dive without Bergeron? They lost some guys (as well as Krejci, Bertuzzi) Who are their Top 3 Cs next season? Zacha, Coyle and Geekie? Not great. Good thing they have D and goaltending. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the name is a good call back, hahaha... I played even lower than that. My best time, and worst game ever: playing for "team canada" (a bunch of army guys on a day off during a UN tour in Syria/Israel) against a bunch of even drunker Finnish Battalion guys in a Rink in Northern Israel. The locals were flocking into the stands as we were all in national jerseys, but knock offs from Syria, lol. So it looked like Team Canada vs Team Finland. Thing is I was drunk when it started and they converted me into a Tendie from defense. I let in 10 in the first period, on pace for a 30 GAA. The Sgt Major was also our team captain and as i waddled into the dressing room for the first intermission he tossed me a light beer and says "As of this minute you are on a diet, fuggy, now get those pads off and your back on Defense. The only other interesting thing i remember is hip checking a decent Finn player along the boards and somehow the shockwave of the hit broke his collarbone. o.O Anywho, looking forward to talking trade and aiming for Playoffs...hope to see you there.

HighOnHockey Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Well with that pick we've set ourselves a course as far as cap structure and winning timeline. Three year contention window will be the initial focus. Going to hold off on naming a captain for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Florida could not be any happier to take Russian super-goalie, Igor Shesterkin. There was debate about whether Andrei Vasilevskiy might be the pick here, but Shesterkin is younger, is on a fantastic contract (at least in the short-term), and is the favourite to score the next goalie goal in the NHL. Vasilevskiy's workload over the last few years was also cause for concern. There were great players still available like Rantanen, Pastrnak and Kaprizov, but finding a goalie of Shesterkin's calibre is nearly impossible to find. And no, he won't be wearing the C for our club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) We have got the votes needed to make the change to the draft time limits! 16 on discord/4 on here. New Draft Time Limits (takes effect Aug 7th 8am pst) 10 hour limit Can make up pick at any time. If your pick is skipped and you haven't made the selection before your next pick is up, your time will be cut in half. If 2 picks are skipped they will have to be made up before your next selection is up or you could face possible termination.

Petey Castiglione Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Question. Do the forwards we draft have to play their positions? eg. I cant have my forwards all LW players and would need Centers and RW to balance the roster? Similarly, do I need RD and LD or does handedness not matter?
