just for informational purposes not to pick a fight but there have been about 10 members or more on for over 2 hours now and there have been 9 picks made after 8 pm and more might come before the night is over
allowing for a 12 hour clock after 8 pm would greatly increase the amount of time that this draft would take
midnight might be too late for the freeze but an 8:01 de facto freeze is way too early
if it is changed it will have to take this peak drafting period in mind
it is 10:10 btw

Okay so i think we are at this point where i say can we choose to just skip our picks and fill out our rosters during the summer using FA pickups. Or keep the prospect roster at 25 or 27. Bc honestly these rounds are killers to find info about these guys and takes alot of time atleast for me. I think we can do one more round but then lets end draft and move on.

I dunno NJD... You're right, it IS a lot of work to research these. Then again, I've already done a shit-ton of it, so I'd hate to feel like I wasted my time just cause some other managers didn't prerank... I guess I would say it's totally your right to forfeit the rest of your picks and round out your roster after the draft, but personally I'd like to finish off the draft as planned.

^ Agree, I'm looking forward to squeezing all the value I can over the last few rounds.

Ben Duffy is an interesting pick. He is only signed to a ATO contract with Montreal. Hasn't signed an actual playing contract as of yet.

NJ pm'd me. He has some time sensative matters - work and I believe religious observances. He doesn't want to hold us up, so we will skip over him the rest of the draft. He will fill out his roster after the draft. @ Bos - had your eye on Duffy, eh? lol

Actually no I probably wouldn't have drafted him, but I am familiar with him. I know he was commited to go to UNB Varsity Reds if a pro deal didnt come along. I know he and Stefan Fournier both signed ATO's with Montreal at the same time, and Fournier has since signed a 3yr ELC with the Habs. Duffy is still on his ATO right now. I havent heard whether he is going to get signed yet or not. I'd be surprised if he wasn't as he had a fantastic camp with the Habs. I just thought it was interesting that he was drafted seeing as he still hasnt signed a contract yet. s

Yeah thanks PIt. I should still be around for this round finishing the 7th but after that feel free to skip my picks.

Duffy was NHL draft eligible in 2010 and was passed over so he is eligible to be picked in our draft.

Just an update on the Ben Duffy saga (LOL), he just signed a one year, two way deal between the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs and their ECHL affiliate. Still a long uphill road to the NHL but at least he wont be playing University hockey this year.

Quick reminder guys , after making your pick, you are responsible for contacting the next 2 GMs. Some GMs are not being notified of the OTC times after some GMs make their selection. Each GM is responsible for notifying the next 2 GMs of this time. This gives everyone the same opportunity when drafting. If any GM notifies me, Edm, Van or any other GM that he was not notified, we will investigate the matter and find out who is doing it. If any GM in this case ends up getting bumped as result kf not being notified, I will stop the draft, allow that GM to pick ASAP, regardless of whose pick it is (likely someone after this GMs original slotting) and give them an hour to pick. This hour will be subtracted from the next pick belonging to the GM who failed to notify either of the next two GMs. This same GM will have his next pick bumped as well.
