Official 2013 Draft Thread

Ain't that the truth. How times they change. Just three years ago, in my dynasty league, my top two goalies were Vokoun and Kiprusoff. And three of my top three defensemen were Lidstrom, Rafalski and Pronger. That's five elite players I've had to replace in the last three years!

Somehow I've still managed to win the championship two out of three years, though, so I can't complain too much.

We can make a pretty good dent in this draft today methinks

All Band-Aid available:
- Havlat
- Souray
- Briere
- PM Bouchard
- Hemsky

I thought the draft started on September 1?

You know this group Scoop ... always in a hurry to get going. I don't think we've ever actually started the draft on the date we'd originally discussed.

Matt and Greg made today officially September 1st. That's how powerful these two are!

Don't worry, Gregger will slow it up enough that it will be closer to the 1st before you know it. There's the occasional BM, and other issues that get in the way. Isn't that right Greg?

I'm not sure if I'm to go out tonight. Granny will decide. 50/50.

Wives love to be called Granny. Remember that fellows. (Teena is 46)



Red is likely to be around though, in the event I get pulled away.

How many players do we finish with?

30 with 5 of them prospects

That's right. Thirty players each, and five of them have to be prospect-eligible (meaning skaters can't have played more than 82 games in the NHL, and goalies can't have played more than 41 games).

We shall see if he holds his spot on the top line.

Gregger, I love your pick. I see you have been doing some reading

? This years Voracek ? I confess, I like him too.

I wonder if Gord knows that it's his pick?

Gord
John
Jarrett
Matt

Ok Im here now. Got tired of waiting for Chapler. Seems like we are always waiting for Chapler. Hehehe.

Just responding to a few offers and will then be able to get things underway.

3.......2.......1.......

gary betman has informed me of a trade that happened.

team po po has traded the 8th overall pick to the legion of doom for LODs 1st, 3rd, and 6th round picks in 2014

Todd Bertuzzi!

LEGION OF DOOMS FIRST PICK EVER WILL BE;


ALEKSANDER BARKOV

John hasn't been on for about 3.5 hours. Is he at work Greg?

Yep.
He is night shift this week.
I will text him, but I do not know if he will be able to respond.

Are you selecting Lindros, Renberg & Leclair?

Prospal & Zubrus played on the same team as the Legion of Doom!

Brian Boucher was a tender for the Phantoms at the same time. They'll have all been at training camp together!



Some more great suggestions for rounding out your roster.

It'd be a memorable reunion for your players!
