Official Draft Thread - Round One

With our draft a stone throws away, I thought I would get the thread started, in anxious anticipation of seeing how round one unfolds. Always an adventure.

EKBLAD

Reinhart - Buffalo


Also looks like rookies are not available yet, so should we just take a placeholder for now? Or just leave blank till they show up

Sam Bennett -Calgary

It is with great pleasure, and quite a bit of anxiety really, that Desolation Row welcomes young Tyson Barrie.

Greg can you give me a refresher on how to add guys again the right way?

Sure.

You just find them using the ESPN search, and then hit the green crosshair ''add'' button and then off you go.  Everyone has league manager rights now so go crazy!  You even have the power to tinker with Matt's roster.  I encourage it.

You mentioned the rookies earlier.  I spose you could just wait until ESPN puts them on the list.  Should not be long.  Just be careful to keep track of your totals.

Oh ok, i remember having to go to LM tools before.

You can practice by dropping Stamkos from Matt and adding him to your roster.

I won't tell anyone.

It is for the good of the league.  For the Greater Good if you will.

This league is not live yet. We were supposed to select our keepers then put in a draft date. Then after the draft date. we confirm and start the league. All teams right now will have to be reset. Same problem every year. lol

set your keepers and we can set the draft date for sept 3rd. After that date we can confirm we had our offline draft and start the adding and dropping for real. Might as well add and drop now for easiness of seeing who is selected. But we will have to reset our teams after the 3rd.

I honestly can never keep this straight.
I am just going to do as I am told right now and set my keepers.  
Thanks John for getting us on track.

OK.  Mission accomplished.
Keepers set.

We have never tried to set our keepers so i'm not positive that is even for this season and not for the end. We shall see. Either way we have to confirm our offline draft before we are live. Then adding won't work because it will be auction. We will have to use the LM tools to add our players. I remember most of this but i'm the same age as you so not positive.

Chris won't be on for at least an hour. Nite boys!

Sleep tight Ray!

Never! I am always loose when I sleep. Loose-y goose-y!
