[Arian The Insider]

it started much earlier last year.. i remember watching it at work in the afternoon

[Lee]

It started much earlier in the Luke Schenn draft as well. Remember he was picked just as I was leaving.

woudln't be a bad idea if i just didn't go and un-book the day off

however, this is something we need to do sooner than later. The wife and little one are flying home to NS in a week, this is something we should look into

nope.

First round is always Friday night.

Remainder is Saturday.


I think you're all thinking of Free Agent Day....it starts at NOON

[Shoalzie]

Josh is on the clock at 5:48.

[Lee]

Guillaume Gélinas is not draft eligible, born in 93.

[Shoalzie]

Thanks for checking that...didn't bother to look. I saw he signed with the Wild recently. He's waiver eligible at least.

[Sensfanjosh]

Fixed pick and took savage

[Shoalzie]

Back from Europe, I assume?

[Sensfanjosh]

No just on the net figuring out my flight for tomorrow, leave Vienna at 6:05....arrive in Brussells around 8 pm, then leave Brussells for Toronto at 10:00 AM the next morning, gonna be a rough few hours.

[Shoalzie]

At worst, you're up again in an hour to close this thing out.

[Shoalzie]

Josh's final turn ends at 10:05 p.m.

Outstanding picks that remain:
202. Colorado
207. Dallas
209. Montreal

So are we officially going with the 7:00 p.m. start of the NHL draft tomorrow as the cut-off for our draft?

[Shoalzie]

Josh wraps up the actual draft...three picks still can be made (see previous post). I'm going by the assumption we won't allow any more picks after the 1st overall pick is made tomorrow night unless I'm told otherwise.

your 'assumption' is correct

[Shoalzie]

I think we nailed it terms of when to start this. I think three weeks before the entry draft is the way to go.

[Monk]

I think we were lucky that Chuck had about 30? Picks, and Lee had quite a few, made it go faster.. keep in mind the actual nhl draft has also started as early as the 22nd-23rd

June 1st start date would be ideal imo, easy to remember too and we get at least 3 weeks and a few days
