WTP Hockey Dynasty League

I have like 200 guys ready lol.

[z3r0s]

ah damn, when did the draft day get selected (haven't been paying that much attention in the OS). I'm on vacay on the 29th, I should have internet access but it might be spotty.

The annual Prospect draft will be held immediately following the conclusion of the real-life NHL Entry Draft (exact date TBD). The draft will consist of 5 rounds and will be conducted on the League Message Board. Draft picks will be assigned at the conclusion of the playoffs (current year only, no future draft picks).

 

Draft order will be determined by the standings of the previous season with a weighted lottery for the top 12 spots. (Non-playoff teams). The final 8 will go by reverse order of finish after the playoffs. Waiver draft will follow this format too but have it's own lottery.

 

Each owner will be allowed a 12 hour window in which to make their selection. After the 12 hour window, that owner may make their selection as soon as they arrive, but the draft will carry on in their absence and subsequent owners may make their selections.

 

Only unowned players who have never played an NHL game and who belong to an NHL parent team are eligible to be drafted.

 

Prior to the annual Prospect draft, an owner must cut/clear space on their prospect roster for each draft pick they intend to use. For example, if an owner has 3 draft picks but only 2 open spots on their Prospect Roster, they will only be able to draft 2 players and the third pick will be discarded (unless traded). All prospect cuts must be made roughly one week prior to the annual prospect draft so that draft order can be finalized and unused picks removed from the draft.

 

Also, we'll be drafting more then 5 prospects in this initial draft. 10 rounds I'm thinking.

 

Draft windows will start at Noon on Sunday the 29th.

 

Post your picks on the Proboards Draft Thread.

I'm also on vacation during the draft but should be able to hit the 12 hour window. Really looking forward to this.

 

Gotta say, the Leafs system looks pretty impressive. Look at those top two strengths.

[z3r0s]

is there a yahoo league for this yet or has that started? I'm going to have a co-manager from off-board, so I'll be giving him the PB's link for now. I assume Yahoo hockey isn't up yet.

[The Cats Ass]

So, 10 rounds confirmed?

 

Confirmed

[jaysblue]

Am I in this league? I never got the invite on Yahoo.

Sunday at noon.

[jays_fever]

For those who have played in serious hockey leagues before, are defence men even worth paying attention to?

Yes. Take them every round for the first 10 rounds.

[GD]

ahh s***. I'm not gonna be here from July 5-11. I'll have Dinger make my picks if the draft is going on. Hope we can get to my first rounders before then lol.

[Sammy225]

I know it is short notice but if there is anyone that is going to want my spot they should take it. I don't know how much attention i will be able to pay to this league. Not fair to you guys to have an uncommitted owner.

[The Cats Ass]

Bump. Very excited to get this started!

 

 

 

Should we start a thread on the main board asking if anyone wants in? Or someone who's a co-manager could become a full time manager.

 

Ya, we kinda need to find a full time manager. Would it be unreasonable to push the draft forward until after Canada Day weekend? King, I put you in charge of finding someone. Don't f*** this up, and there may be a co-commish spot with your name on it.

Can we not? I'm gonna be away then and I'd like to make my first round selections if possible.

[Sammy225]

It would be best if you could find a full time manager. Throw it on the main board or if someone knows of anyone else that might want in,

[BTS]

So what's happening, prospect draft tomorrow?

[GD]

Someone email Vanland. Also, has anyone heard from aselvana or Goldbull? Haven't seen them post in a while.

[GD]

Awesome. Haven't heard from aselvana but hopefully he'll be here.

King, if you recruit someone from HFboards, you're banned.

[GD]

Maybe connor wants to?

[Randy The Robot]

I'll join. The overall attractiveness in the league will go way up

[GD]

Yeah, because we needed two leagues with a King/Randy romance.

[TRM]

JFaS are we still comanaging?

[TheHurl]

as mentioned in the other thread I'll start the draft if you need someone as long as you keep looking for someone to replace me or team with me.

[GoldBull]

I haven't been part of an extended draft like this before (12 hr time OTC). Any estimate on how long a round usually takes? Or does it generally vary draft to draft? Thanks!

[GoldBull]

Really depends on people, someone can really delay it, or you can bang off a whole bunch in a row.

 

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks.

[Abomination]

Perfect representation of King atm:

I'd tell you, but I'd hate to Drouin the surprise.

So what are the rules here? Players who's rights are owned by an NHL team and who haven't played an NHL game are eligible?
