24 hours later and 6 picks down? lol Yeah we're definitely moving to time slots next year, no doubt! Those who are "worried" about trades, it's not like you couldn't have made them last week, or the week before. No need to wait for the day of the draft to try and deal. Yeah, definitely time slots next year!

Well whatever, I guess I'm alone in this then... i agree and disagree with u on that kev.. agree because if someone sees that their guy is still on the board, and they decide to make a play for them before he's gone, they will go to the team with the next pick and that team pick's value automatically goes up. that is the only scenario where time affects value. other than that, i don't think any picks value sky rockets as it comes closer to making that pick.. people more or less know ahead of time, which players will go where, based on how things went in real life. true that some draftees have raised their stocks since, but overall it's not like the trade deadline, where a players value goes way up at the deadline and teams scramble to improve for a run. waiting as long as possible to make your pick just for the purpose of having a bidding war on your pick does nothing but hold up the draft.

I believe that THAT's a false statement... now I'm not saying that its right to hold up the draft to increase the value on your pick, but I am saying it DOES have affect on what you get for the pick, for sure! and i can attest to that at the moment! lol.. I am in talks with a number of teams in attempts to get a first round pick, and I'll tell you... that it is a very live discussion at the moment, and its two seperate conversations.. so I mean, i for one do not like how we're trying to make every thing perfect, because in midst of this, we're going to end up taking things out that are of significance... thats just my own opinion however... if everyone sees it differently, then please disregard this rant..

no one is saying you're not allowed to have live discussions, because you are. but i think what Jon is trying to say is, you could have had those same discussions a week ago, which i agree with. you'd still be able to shop for a pick or shop your own with the time slots, you'd just get less time to do it. in real life they get 5 minutes, no reason it should be 5 days for us.

The point of the live draft IMO is to allow for trading. Having it go faster would be nice, but we can have a little patiences, this doesn't have to be over in 1 day.

Now hold on, I totally agree with you there... in real life they DO get 5 minutes... but in real life, they're also doing this LIVE.. in REAL TIME... thats the big difference here. If we could get all 26 guys together in one night, yeah for sure we could finish this off in no time... too bad its not that simple... back to your first point Eug, we all have different things to do...

off topic, but really like the sig, Gavin!
Looking at the jerseys and who I might put in I just realized I'm a step ahead D-Sutter...
I trade for Jokinen...he trades for Jokinen...
I trade for J-Bo, he trade for JBo...
Now if only he could Malkin, Mike Richards, Nash, etc...lol

Let's see, I'm makin a trade for the 7th pick, and we're 28hrs. into the draft and I don't show up to check on anything. Makes perfect sense to me, only if I don't want the trade.
