Draft in reverse snake order to fill the following 22 categories:
Center 1
Center 2
Center 3
Center 4
Left Wing 1
Left Wing 2
Left Wing 3
Left Wing 4
Right Wing 1
Right Wing 2

Goalie 1
Goalie 2
Coach
Arena
16 teams and 22 categories.
Positions are determined by Wikipedia. If it says "Forward" then the player can fill any of the three forward positions. If Wikipedia says nothing then I will make a decision.
Trades! you can make trades but the it has to be zero-sum since every team needs 22. For example Team A can trade the 1st and 40th pick to Team B for the 5th and 6th pick. Even after you have selected a shows you can trade. There is no trade deadline however there will be no trades allowed after the very last pick.
Both parties must send the trade details to me.
Make use of PMs and the chatroom to negotiate.
Switching!
At any time you can switch a player from one category to another if it qualifies for it.
--
When you are selecting please state in BOLD letters who you are selecting and in what category.
example: With the 1st overall pick of the draft, GirlySport's In-Box selects Cassie Campbell at Defense 1.
And supply a hockey card (preferably a rookie card)
And you can use a paragraph to state your case of why you made this selection and convince everyone why this player was great. You've seen how it's been done in the other drafts. We're all here to learn!
--
Ass-kickin'!: When it's your turn you have 15 hours to select. After 15 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 are away, please send 3 choices to me and I will select 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.
That's pretty much it. Any questions you can ask in here or PM me...

oh snap!
I got first overall eh?
well then, I wasnt really expecting to draft first, and honestly a part of me was hoping I would be more towards the middle of the pack, just so that way I could make picks on a more regular basis...but I digress
with the first overall pick, (insert team name here) selects, from Brantford, Ont. Center 1,Wayne Gretzky
really a no brainer with number one, as the highest scoring player in the history of the NHL, with more assists then the next closest player has points. Holder of 61 NHL records (which is a record in itself, so 62 depending on who you ask) and the only hockey player to have his number retired through out the league
even though he played for the despised oilers, its hard to argue the impact that Wayne Gretzky had on the league

Girly, no goalies? I thought you had them listed in the workshop?
yeah, kind of strange to have a draft without goalies.
Team Toe Blake is pleased to select, from Parry Sound, Ontario. Mr Bobby Orr at Defence 1.
What can you say about Orr? He changed the way the game was played. 8 straight Norris Trophies. He won the Art Ross, the only defenseman to do so. 2 Conn Smythes, 3 Hart Trophies, 2 Stanley Cups, 8 First Team All Star selections and the record for plus minus at a ridiculous +124.
With the 3rd overall pick I am proud to select C Mario Lemieux.
No matter what era, Lemieux would have dominated. A lethal combination of size and speed, there was no one deadlier with the puck. Undressing defencemen and goalies at will, he was a scoring machine. Had injury and serious health issues not hampered him; surely he would have eclipsed Gretzky's statistics.
pretty sure GS just forgot to put them in the list
when you look at it it says 22 categories, but 4 C, 4 LW, 4 RW, 6 D, 1 Coach, 1 arena is only 20 categories

Thanks for yet another Draft Girly! "Team Marleau! Hammered!" selects for the 4th overall pick, the clear winner in his category, Scotty Bowman (COACH)
As head coach, Bowman has won a record nine Stanley Cups with the Canadiens (1973, 1976, 1977, 1978, and 1979), Penguins (1992) and Red Wings (1997, 1998, and 2002). He was also part of the 1991 Penguins Stanley Cup winning team as director of player development. In 2008 he won his 11th Stanley Cup as Consultant with the Detroit Red Wings. He won the Jack Adams Award in 1977 and 1996. In the 1976–77 season he won a record 60 games and broke his own record with 62 wins in 1995–96. Bowman is the only head coach in the history of the NHL, Major League Baseball, the National Football League, or the National Basketball Association who has won championships with three different teams.

Team "He Shoots.....He Scooooores!" selects with its first pick, Gordie Howe (RW).
In a 1st round full of no-brainers, Mr. Hockey just eked out a couple other all-time greats on my list but I can't be anything other than thrilled to make this selection. Topping it off, Gordie is a gentleman who has always had time for his family, his fans and the game.
Finished in the top five in NHL scoring for 20 consecutive seasons.[1]
The last active person that played during the 1940s and the 1950s. He's tied with Bobby Hull for the latter, as they both played in the final game for Hartford in the 1980 playoffs.
His number, 9, was retired by both the Detroit Red Wings and the Hartford Whalers. Although the Houston Aeros Howe played for no longer exist, the AHL team of the same name has also retired his number.
Records
Most NHL regular season games played: 1,767
Most NHL & WHA regular season games played: 2,186
Most NHL & WHA regular season and playoff games played: 2,421
Most NHL seasons played: 26
Most NHL & WHA seasons played: 32
Most NHL regular season goals by a right winger: 801
Most NHL regular season assists by a right winger: 1,049
Most NHL regular season points by a right winger: 1,850
Most NHL regular season points by a father/son combo (with son Mark): 2,592
First player to score over 1000 goals. Both WHA and NHL
Gordie doing his thing for the Wings. Check the Ref!
Damn this draft is moving fast, I should be picking before the year is over.
Good picks so far, no suprises yet except Bowman, but he is the best, no doubt about that.
I know picking a coach this early is a bit unexpected, but it's a strategic choice. He is by far the most successful coach in NHL history. There is a huge gap between #1 and #2-and-lower for this category. You can't say that for the rest of the categories.
Anyways, that's how I roll.

Nice roll. I was going to pick him at 13. I was sure he'd still be there and I'd be the lucky recipient of all sorts of "oooh, very clever" and "that's really smart" comments, but I guess it's not to be.
Team Slapshot are proud to select for our Right Wing selection,
#9 Maurice "Rocket" Richard
The Hon.Joseph Henri Maurice "Rocket" RichardPCOCOQ (August 4, 1921 – May 27, 2000) was a professional ice hockey player who played for the Montreal Canadiens from 1942 to 1960. The "Rocket" was the most prolific goal-scorer of his era, the first to achieve the feat of 50 goals in 50 games. He lived most of his life in Ahuntsic, Montreal.[1]
Maurice Richard was the first to score 50 goals in one season (the 1944-45 NHL season), doing so in 50 games, and the first to score 500 goals in a career. He finished his career with 544 goals in the regular season, with 82 in the playoffs which included a record six overtime winners (surpassed only by Joe Sakic who has eight), and led the league in goals five times. He also amassed 421 assists for a total of 965 points in 978 games.
