Welcome to the
CP ALL-TIME CALGARY FLAMES MINI-DRAFT Workshop Thread
10 teams, 6 rounds. Pick your all-time Flames starting lineup:
G -
D -
D -
F -
F -
F -
For draft purposes, I won't differentiate between LW, RW and C, although a balanced line will never hurt come playoff time (see below). All players must have played at least one NHL regular season game with the Calgary Flames (i.e. no Atlanta Flames, no preseason, no prospects, etc.).
PLAYERS WILL BE ASSESSED BASED ON WHAT THEY ACCOMPLISHED IN CALGARY (i.e. you can't pick Grant Fuhr and get the guy who won five cups, only the older, washed up version).
I will attempt to continuously update the thread title and draft board; the thread title will display the next 3 picks, so if you see your name it's either your turn or pretty close. Time limit is 24 hours for this draft.
List of participants (draft order will be a reverse snake, TBD via random draw):

RULES:
No trades. It's a mini draft with only 6 picks each
No switching. There are no categories so I'm thinking most players will only have one position.
When you are selecting please state in
BOLD letters your pick and his position. Done and done. Feel free to brag about who you picked and why he'll make your team the CP Cup Champion (see below).
When it's your turn you have 24 hours to make your pick. After 24 hours the draft will continue on until you come back and pick. Your name will have brackets around it in the thread title. If your turn is coming up and you will be away, PM me your top 3 choices (in order of preference) and I'll pick whoever is available for you (if you see a name in the thread title with a * beside it, that means they have submitted their pick to the commish).
In order to add more depth to the rosters, I'll be adding a "supplemental" draft at the end for UFA's... depending on who's left, each team will be allowed to pick 2-3 more players, so you'll have a chance to add some more grit, toughness, character, leadership, etc without having to put him in your starting 6. These supplemental picks will be first come, first served, when UFA season opens (hopefully at a mutually agreed upon time).
Playoffs: In order to determine a winner, I will do up an 8 team playoff (based on the top 8 teams, by vote or otherwise). Each game will then be played out, with the winner determined by me (including my personal game recap) or else by vote (again, with my personal game recap. Okay, I'm a loser). The winner will be crowned CP Cup Champion. Yay.
Post any questions in case I don't know what I'm doing

Original Post:
I was looking through some of these CP Draft threads and thought it might be interesting to do an actual hockey player draft, but with all-time Flames. The categories could be something like 2 goalies (starter and backup), 4 d-men (1-2 pairing and depth pairing), and 6 forwards (scoring line and scoring/checking/energy line). That would make 12 selections per team, maybe 12 teams in total?
P.S. I've never done one of these but I guess the rules would be the same as the other drafts (i.e. trading), although switching categories probably won't work since each player only has one category.
P.P.S. Not sure if this should have went on the Flames Forum instead, but I thought I'd post here in case there was an unwritten rule that all "draft" threads had to be put here...
Any thoughts?!?
