Hockey Pool/Draft for the new season?

[rocketdoctor]

I am thinking of running a snake draft hockey pool for next season for those on the boards.

 

Want to do it live so we get some more interaction between us all!!

Live snake draft over Discord  -  no doubt at some ungodly hour like 8pm MT / 3am UK time!   Or perhaps if we did it on a Saturday or Sunday we could do 2pm MT and 9pm UK?

 

 

Outline draft details

 

Simple snake draft 1-xx, xx-1 etc

Undecided on how many players to pick but probably around 20-23

Would run the draft week before the season starts

Goals and Assist count for points.

Highest point total wins.

 

Undecided and open to suggestions on whether we include:

Goalies

Trades

LTIR relief

anything else?

 

Do not want to make it too difficult for record keeping purposes.

 

Post if you have some ideas and if you are interested.  .

That's a great idea RD. Peeps runs a Yahoo-based pool for forum members you should join.

Nothing wrong with having 2!! Especially a live draft would be fun.

Maybe Peeps can join this conversation and we can discuss a 2nd pool set up differently.

They are a ton of fun. I get pretty mouthy but I only do it for fun. There used to be a "Trash Talk" section on this board that was hilarious but got a little over-the-top.

So I do it in honour of that former section.

Kinda like right now, where I can't stop winning. I should change my name to Charlie Sheen.lol

Special thanks to @jjgallow for letting me win the Yahoo pool.

Say what you may about JJ, he sparks conversation and is pretty great at taking the piss and not backing down.

And he is a superstar at hockey pools. Always a threat.

I like jj a lot. Where others get exasperated, I find him really entertaining. He's definitely no dummy.

I love how he gets more steadfast the more one argues with him.
