SCOOP

Who wants me? Everybody loves Raymond!

No Brassard or Seidenberg - dropped

Am I up again? I have two fifths. I can only use one. Gamblers and my own.

Correction, from what I read above, that it's Po-Po's 5th rounder. Therefore, my pick.

yah you are scoop. two people have made picks that if you want we may need to do some switching. who you looking to take?

scoop
john- Raymond (not sure what we do here if scoop wanted Raymond)
sanders - Dalpe
greg

I am confused which is not unusual given my age.

After I picked Desharnais, Shoreside chose Dupuis. Matt had no pck. Then Arthur Tigers took Scheifele. Juggernauts took Raymond. Shoreside had Soo Storms pick and took Dalpe.

Greg then had Gamblers' pick.
Then PO
Then Arthur Tiger had the first pick of the 5th round(PO's pick).
Gamblers was done.
Then Soo Storm, JUggernauts.

Arthur Tiger-?
Matt was done.
Shoreside, SOo Storm has my pick. Suicidal Frogs then SOo Storm to finish with Greg's pick.


SO we are waiting for GReg?

Then why di Scoop take Tyutin?

COnfused big time

Scoop already had scheifle. we thought he was at 33. so then john took raymond and snaders took dalpe. we then relized scoop had 2 spots, so he took tyutin. the order goes as follow as listed above. but yes this draft has been extremley confusing.

Oh I see. He had taken Scheifele in September and was suppose to be on his roster. Therefore he took Tyutin, not Scheifele.


Aaaaaaah said the blind man!

Schiefele was my fourth rounder. You guys passed me buy. So I jumped in and drafted him when I got home.

Then, I got passed by again in the fifth round, so I jumped in and took Tyutin.

Sorry, went to hockey practise and was out for 2-1/2 hours.

SCOOP

we didn't get to the 5th round yet

I thought Scheifele was "your" 4th round pick.

Then your next pick would be Team Po's 5th rounder which is still 2 away.

Oh, then retract my 5th round pick... duh... I have a few guys in mind, so if that's the case, then I need to hold my horses.

SCOOP

I mean unless I missed Greg's and Gord's picks.

You are right Ray, just confusing. Greg and Gord still have their last picks of round 4. then Scoop will have Gord's first pick in round 5.

Ok, Now I can have a beer! Thanks John.....

Just wondering if I could ask a stupid question? And I don't care what anyone says there ARE stupid questions!!!!!

Being new to the pool I wonder why we are not using the website for all of this kind I stuff. It allows for chats, messages boards, etc. Would it not get rid of a lot of unnecessary work? Maybe I am missing something?

Anyway doesn't look like Greg will be picking so until tomorrow......

I think the best answer, (this should make you laugh if you read my recent concerns about waiver pickups) is that ESPN doesn't have all the players. So, at the time of the draft, the First Rounders aren't listed on ESPN, and can't be drafted... throws a bad crook into the drafting process.

I think... that might be the major reason, or something along those lines!

OK, I am up and ready for action.

For better or for worse, with my last selection in this mid season draft:

Artem Anisimov

Bertuzzi DET

I almost picked the old fart myself.
