2012 BBKL Waiver draft discussion

Beginning to smile?

If Radulov really signed you'd be smiling!

Just let Mike pick...

[Shoalzie]

The waiver draft selection thread is now a global thread...I'll keep that up there until we're done.

I've unlocked the thread so it's ready when Mike wants to kick this off around noon. I've got a lunch meeting until 1:30 so I'll pick after I'm done with that. I'll do my best to keep the draft order and draft summary updated.

as for eligibility:

a probably easier way to look at the pool of eligible players:
- any bbkl-free player born in 1991 or before is available
- bbkl-free players born in 1992 are available as well if they played in N.A. at 18, or/and at 19, or/and at 20
- any bbkl-free player under NHL contract is available

which btw is the same as saying the players available are the bbkl-free players who under the expired NHL CBA would be no more eligibile for future NHL Entry Drafts
(with a remote exception that applied to some older Euros which we didn't use).

Hopefully the new CBA will make this easier.

Updated.

He'll never be back

[Sensfanjosh]

Just to be clear, if players aren't drafted during the waiver draft, and are no longer eligible for the entry draft we can just 'sign' them correct?

[armandtanzarian]

Its 12 in my time zone and I live in the east, let's go.

[Lee]

If they have an NHL contract, yes. AHL contract or otherwise, no.

[Sensfanjosh]

Ah okay, thanks wasn't sure.

[Tony]

Cry me a river. If someone is going to stop caring let us know, we'll move on and find a replacement. Hockey is back, turn that frown upside down.

never said it was me

[Tony]

Euro trash ...

[Lee]

Shock of the draft right there, Mike.

[Shoalzie]

Yeah, it's not like he hasn't been hinting at Brunner up to this point...

I'm made my pick and Luke has been PMed.

[Nick]

FAAKKKKKK

[Lee]

Guess I can't keep him from you any longer, Mike.

[Mike]

Guess I can't keep him from you any longer, Mike.

Haha. This is my third attempt at acquiring him.

Cooper said Brown has a broken collarbone. Out for awhile.
