Well since everybody seems bored waiting for hockey to return we might as well bust out an online activity for everyone to do (at least one that doesn't involve numbers). During the lockout i made an all time team draft and 20 posters joined in. Link:
http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=120764

Each of us made a roster of 12 forwards, 6 defenseman and 2 goalies (any basic NHL roster). The goal was to create the best team we could with the best hockey players of all time. Here's a new one to help time fly by faster. These are the rules:

1. If you don't pick within a 12 hour period then an auto-pick will be made for you. Send me a list of players you want me to draft for you in order if you are going to be off the computer for an extended period of time. The highest listed player available will be your pick.

2. The last draft we did took us 2 months to complete. Only join if you are going to be on CP consistantly.

3. This is a snake draft. The order of the picks will go in reverse each round making it fair.

4. Once you've made your pick. PM the next person who's pick is up. I'll put the upcoming three picks in the thread title so people can keep track.

5. You can come up with your own team names if you want to or you can just stick to your handle.

6. Try not to talk about players that are available that others might want. That came back and bit a lot of people in the ass the last draft we did this

.

7. Try to keep your players in their natural positions. If they are able to play more than one position then let me know.

8. No trades. Once you've picked a player you are stuck with them.

I'll leave spoiler tags in the OP so you guys can track the rosters, picks made and players taken by position. All picks and discusion will be made in this thread. Go ahead and sign up. We'll start by going up to 20 posters.
The drafting order will be made by http://www.random.org/lists/ once all of the spots are filled. I won't be participating in this one, but i will be here to watch and join in on the conversation. Now lets have some fun!

Sure what the hell, assuming it goes faster this time around. Think I'll completely screw things up this time though, just to make it more interesting for myself.

Ezio · 08-10-2013, 03:49 PM

If there is a spot available, I'd love to participate.

Hockey_Ninja · 08-10-2013, 04:15 PM

Decided to throw my name in. That's 16 people now. More are welcome.

powderjunkie · 08-10-2013, 05:32 PM

I'm in again. Happy to do it as an all time draft again, but perhaps we want to change it up and restrict it with some parameters:

1. Only players to play between 89' to 2004 (Flames cup runs)...have to played at least 160 games in that time, and their play/accomplishments are only considered in those years.

2. Players not in the hall of fame...would recognize some unsung heroes. Perhaps we eliminate all active players (or all active players under 35), and anticipate the next few years of HOF locks (Modano, Hasek, etc.).

I like option 1, because it means we won't be picking guys from the 20's (though it was a nice reason to learn about them) and gets rid of the Lindros debate (flash in the pan vs. longevity). Thoughts?

PlayfulGenius · 08-10-2013, 09:37 PM

I'm in...but I agree it should be different than the last one somehow... Making a time range makes it easier to pick which teams we think are stronger as well.
