I don't select Oilers, Habs, Canucks and rarely Leafs. So, I only have 26 teams to work with.

I would pick a Hab of your list, but none of the others.
This year all the Habs are smurfs, so I won't pick any.

If he is late he picks Radulov and Jagr.

Actually, looking again, I'm volunteering at a charity walk on the 26th so a 3+ hour draft won't work for me and I will need to bow out.

But that is what drove Aeneas to drink (more). So it wasn't really a complaint, more of a suggestion.

I may have to adopt a 'No Russians' strategy this year...

I say we still do goalies though. Do we want to get creative or is it straight points again?

I say we do goalies, but we have equipment restrictions to get rid of Luongo!

If you have a slot open for a newcomer, I will be free both days... but you might not want me because I have exceptional prognostication skills.

You are going to need to pick before Locke if you want a shot a Hudler.

(Hudler may be the new Radulov)

Is there room for a middle-aged Russian? I would be happy to contribute some money to the eventual winner if the draft is on the 3rd (the 26th is my b-day, and I expect Mrs. Impaler will be taking me out for dinner).

I can probably drop by at around 9 or so for a recap and nightcap, but from 4pm until then I will be helping fight the good fight against blood born cancers (well, volunteering at the fundraising event - close enough)

There is room.
As stated earlier let's fill it up before 'Junky finds out!

I'm down, but I suspect she will be dragging me somewhere where it will cost at least $150 for dinner.

I'm going to the "scrimmage" tonight with chucklesmcslappy; I'll mention this pool to him tonight. I think he mentioned putting his 3rd place bonanza from the playoff pool toward this entry fee
