So you didn't think of clicking on the 1st rd although 2 e-mails were sent out, with a link to the Draft section of this board. It seems you are not the only one. Some of you need to appy logics or common sense, the staff overrates some of you lol ;D Listen Ray, u dont need to be a complete dick about it.. i didnt say I'm right here. All I'm suggesting (like you did with your ticker idea on the message board) that it would be easier (if possible) if you could copy and paste the text in teh e-mail versus posting only the link. Yes its helpful to know where i can find it on the message board but like i said i havent had access to my desktop for a few days and i completely missed / forgot the fact that we hvae time slots. Now its just a suggestion. Might i remind you (as Gavin pointed out) i made my selection. I'm sorry if some of you find me incompetent I merely just suggested something. Againt... it was just a suggestion. Jon: I apologize if i offended you. I'm not being a dick and don't know why you would single me out. I'm not the only one who complained about gm's with their head up their ass.

It was fine for kevin to make a suggestion, though I happen to agree that sending links to the site is more than enough. 5 days notice via email plus stuff on the msg board saying when draft will start. If someone cant find the slots they can ask. If they dont ask, it means they werent looking. Its nothing new to have a few ppl space out every now and again. I dont think the answer is asking for more from jon tho. But yeah, lets not overreact to a few board comments. And im just mad I had to take another defenceman in the draft

i completely fucked up today sorry everyone, if you see i actually logged in like 45 min before the draft today. i knew what time i was picking. As i was sitting here my roommate called me and said my water pump blew in my car. so i got all caught up with that and i totally forgot about this. my apologies.

Not surprised to see Grigorenko and Forsberg gone in the top ten. I think the JGHL is a step ahead of the NHL on that one

me neither. Grigs was criminally underrated in the draft on pure potential.
And while I think forsbergs lack of offensive upside dropped his stock, having him end up in WSH actually made his offensive prosepcts MUCH much better.
If he ever gets to play with Ovie and Backstrom, watch out!

Jon: I apologize if i offended you. I don't have an issue with you at all, you were here on time and made your pick, nothing to complain about. The only thing is, I do try and do everything in a manner that everyone has multiple advance notices. With 5 days notice, to suggest that I should have had to go even further is kinda ridiculous. That's all I'm sayin'

Grigorenko has like 17 points in 8 games right now. I know you can't base a prospects value off of the first 8 games of the season, but it is still a very impressive start.

When we got the email five days ago, I saw the draft started at 12:30, but had no clue when my pick would be. It took me about four hours of calculation and phone calls to see that as I had the sixth pick, I'd be picking between 3:00 and 3:30. I ran the numbers and ran them again. Then I double checked yesterday and I was right! Then I set a reminder in my phone that the draft was today. Then I took five minutes to write down the top twelve guys from some guys pre-draft ranking. Then I checked my phone around my draft time, crossed off the guys who were selected and made my pick. And I've eaten sooooo much turkey today too.

That's all I'm sayin' Granted... and I'll be honest. I saw the reminding e-mails that said the draft was today. I just completely forgot that we moved to timeslots so i didnt even think to verify what time i was picking. I just knew that the draft was starting at 2:30 and that being fourth overall i was going to be up somewhere aroudn that time. Ray.... you know that you're one of my fav GM's to deal with here (simply becasue you get back to me three times before i can even reply to your first message), but It just feels like sometimes when theres a suggestion, it's like people cant even suggest anything without having a comment about how ungrateful we are with the amoutn that Jon and Gavin do already, which i agree with. I just try to suggest things that try to minimize people missing information. That's all.... lol.. and i singled you out becasue you had responded in a dick way to my suggestion. lol next time tell me I'm an idiot without telling me I'm an idiot.... makes me feel better LOL

I still remember when this kid was slotted to be the guy going up against Yakupov.... quite the catch he'll be if he can stay consistent.
