[Shoalzie]

Draft starts Monday, September 17...selection thread has been posted with the current draft order.

2nd overall pick is available for a stud! Kidding it's untouchable. Or is it????

[Florida Chris]

Florida's waiver is available for the best entry draft pick I could get.

[Matthew]

Everyone remember to pick up your players on fantrax (recently drafted players, and really any player u own) or they will be eligible to be selected in the waiver draft, if eligible.

[Shoalzie]

Not necessarily true...you guys need to have your 2018 entry draft picks on your roster for roster submission but it would be nice if you guys did it before the waiver draft. They're on your Google sheet but you must have all your players on Fantrax as well or you will lose them.

I'll talk about roster submission as we get rolling with the waiver draft. It'll be a very easy process.

[Handsome&FairMike]

16 overall is available for a prospect or mid round entry draft pick

Edit: FYI - value for similar picks last year was a 3rd rounder +

Fantrax not working for me btw

edit: back working in about 1 hour

[Lee]

When is roster submission?

[Shoalzie]

Shooting for Sunday the 30th.

[Lee]

Isn't submission usually before the draft?

[Matthew]

No

[Shoalzie]

It's been post-draft and during the free agent window.

The quick details...

I'll post a thread and you post the link to your "Preseason" sheet. You must be 50/90 compliant and under the cap/over the floor.

The first wave of waivers would start on Monday, October 1 at noon.

I'll just need confirm that your Fantrax roster includes all the players from your sheet. Meaning, you guys have to have all your drafted players on your Fantrax roster at the time of roster submission or you lose their rights.

[Shoalzie]

So during this draft, I will be adding your picks to your sheets as I update the draft board. I should have contracts for most of the draft pool (assuming most are on ELC). You guys need to get them added on Fantrax before the 30th.

I have mostly minor league contracts left to add but I want to get that done in the few days.

[Da_Hawks]

I'll be making my pick in the afternoon on Monday. Busy in the morning.

[Matthew]

If u pick 1st I can make it for u

[Da_Hawks]

If u pick 1st I can make it for u

Thanks, but it looks like I pick 2nd.

[Matthew]

Well u can give me 2 guys and I can pick the one not taken?

[Da_Hawks]

Haven't even looked yet. Have an idea, but been too busy. I'll pick when I can.

[Shoalzie]

I'm unlocking the draft thread now. I don't know when we typically start. Cliff can jump in whenever he wants.

I have the last few trades to update in the database. I'll update the draft board and the rosters tonight after we have first few picks.

I will add all players you draft on Google but remember to add them on Fantrax.

[Shoalzie]

There ya go, Cliff...we're underway. Had to believe Lindholm would be one of the early picks.
