Hey All,
Hope everyone is excited for the beginning of our league! I'm writing to just clarify rules, draft times, and the like.
-First, money. Please pay before the draft on Sunday. Payment is through paypal. Please send $50 USD to gorman.ja91@gmail.com. Instructions are here on how to avoid the paypal fee as well: kl08.proboards.com/thread/1260/paying-paypal?page=1
-Please join our proboards site by Sunday if you have not done so yet. The link is here: kl08.proboards.com . We use the site for communication, tracking prospects, and our prospect drafts. Joining there will be mandatory, but you won;t have to be logging in every day to set lineups there or anything.
-There are 2 drafts. One is for all NHL players, which will be on yahoo at 7:45pm EST (4:45 pm PST). The other is the prospect draft, which will begin Monday on proboards. Players with at least 1 game of NHL experience will be draftable in the yahoo draft. Any player will less than a game of NHL experience will only be eligible for the prospect draft. That number is based on regular season games only. This means Drouin, Ekblad, Reinhart, etc. will only be draftable in the prospect draft on proboards. Guys like Kuznetsov, JT Miller, and Teravainen will be draftable in yahoo since they all have played a game at the NHL level. If you draft a player that is only eligible for the prospect draft, you will lose the pick.
-The draft orders were created, at random using a random order generator, and has been posted on both yahoo and proboards. Please use this to help prep for the draft. The order is the reverse of the yahoo order for the prospect draft. Both are snake drafts though. The draft orders can be seen here: kl08.proboards.com/thread/1261/inaugural-draft-order
-The prospect draft on proboards will be a slow draft, meaning once it starts, each team has a time slot in which to pick (probably 12 hours). Once you've picked or if your time slot has expired, the other team can then pick. You can still pick, but once the clock strikes 12 hours for you, the next manager can pick before you if they're ready. Since it's a slow draft, you don't have to be present for every minute of it, but should try to check in to proboards daily. Additionally, each team will pick 10 prospects, meaning 10 rounds, 130 prospects picked in total. There are no positional requirements for your prospect roster.
If you guys have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me! Good luck to everyone, really looking forward to a fun league with all of you!
Best,
James
