draft

[snugerud]

Sorry I have been away,  Holiday here in Canada and I had a golf tournament yesterday that I organized. 

As for my side, I say push it back a day.  obviously some people missed deadlines due to an unforeseen site crash.  There is no rush on getting the draft done so a day or two is not going to change the long term.

I suspended the draft for now.  Want to push this a week to get all the Keepers in and let Fantrax settle down?  If not, just let me know and I'll make my pick. 

[Rob]

Yea, a day or whatever works.  Just let me know and I'll un-suspend and make my pick.

[Rob]

I didn't get an email notification from Fantrax that I'm on the clock.  Also can't find the setting.

That should be automatic as long as your email is on Fantrax. maybe because you were first pick?

Even if the Rangers GM doesn't come on to post he's keeping Alexis Lafreniere I think he should be awarded to the Rangers. I'd hate to see him be available in the draft on a technicality of an inactive GM and have that franchise fall apart again.

Agreed - absent/non-communicative GM's should probably always be awarded their teams 1st round keeper pick in these situations.  So that the future replacement GM isn't at a disadvantage.

Ill add lafreniere do you want to consider Schneider or just leave it to Lafreniere?

[Rob]

IMO they should also get Schneider.  Maybe even Cuylle too to be prudent.  It's a league-preservation thing!

So we can default to not having to specifically select keepers in the future. New standard would assign keepers automatically with GM's now having to speak up if they choose to pass on a pick or picks.
