I'd really like to hold the 2011 Entry Draft this coming weekend (Jan 3,4,5). It's a weekend that will really work well for me due to my work schedule and computer issues that I've been having.
We usually run the draft over a three day period, doing 2 or three rounds per night depending on how many GM's attend and how tired everyone gets during the couple hours that we spend each night in the chat room making picks.
I also have next week off, meaning that I would not be rushed on Sunday night to complete the draft. I'm also having overheating problems with my pc and need to tear it down and isolate the problem, which I can only do once the draft is complete.
We usually have a couple of weeks of downtime between the end of the Stanley Cup finals and the entry-draft which give all of you some time for prospect research and such, so I would also understand if you would rather put it off until next weekend.
Feel free to voice your opinion.

Yes means this weekend? Perfect for me and my few picks.

A "Yes" vote means that you'd like to have the draft this weekend. Sorry if I wasn't very clear with the poll.

I'd definitely like to get the draft / trading going since for those that haven't been involved in the playoffs, it's time to get hyped again  |

I voted yes but unless we draft Saturday night I may miss that portion. I'll be dropping my daughter off about 7 hours away so if there is traffic I'll be home late that day. Do you have a timeframe figured out?

We usually start around 9:00 p.m. Eastern until about midnight on the Friday and Saturday. Sunday, we should be done around 11:00 p.m. It's probably the start time that you're most concerned about.

Are we knocking out as much as possible or are we doing 2 rounds or so per night?

Just waiting to here from a couple of GM's regarding the weekend. By the looks of it, we will be starting Friday for sure. I will know for sure later on tonight or tomorrow morning.

I'd like to get 3 rounds in on Friday if at all possible.

The 2011 Entry-Draft is all set for Friday, with a start time of about 9:15 p.m. Eastern. We will try to get 3 round accomplished on Friday in order to ease the pressure for Saturday and Sunday.
I am going to send out a spreadsheet to all of you with the names of all the players selected in the 2011 NHL entry-draft.
Please. If you cannot attend the draft on Friday, send me an email with a list of all the players that you would like drafted to your club in order of preference. Remember to include enough players on your list to cover all those teams who pick before you.
If you are not sure who you would like drafted, then feel free to have Chris and I select the best player for you. You can also request that I select a player based on position, or any other factor that you may find important.
The Draft itself will be live in the Chat Room. The link is at the top of the home page in the menu bar.

Just got off the phone with the Remparts GM, and he won't be with us for the draft tomorrow. He's been without internet access for month's now, but should be up and going for the start of the new season.
Chris and I will simply select the best player available for his hockey club.

Just a reminder....for those of you who won't be at the draft for 3 rounds tomorrow. Please email me some sort of list or instructions on the prospects you'd like drafted for your club.
