I have a couple points. First, as the game hasn't been released yet none of us know how the fantasy draft will work, whether we can choose the draft order ourselves (I know the game can randomize it, I'm betting we can't choose it how we want it).
Also, for a fantasy draft I think on a Sunday would be best as I know people either work (like myself) or go out (most people) on Saturdays.
As well, I'd rather pick teams than leave it to a lottery, we'll be fantasy drafting anyway so it isn't like the team we're picking will be that relevant. Unless like 5 people want to be the Flames (in that case have a lottery), but I'll let someone else be them. I'll be the Kings, Av's, or Flyers.
If we do want to do a fantasy draft before the game comes out (we won't know their ratings, we'll have to guess essentially), I think that would be easier than doing it when the game comes out as we could do it over a week rather than like 30 people getting together at the same time to do it online. Though, like I mentioned I don't think in the game we'll be able to make our own draft order so either people will have to be honest with their picks or we're screwed.
Lastly, I have a friend who isn't on the forums, but will join the league.
