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. You should have just sent yourself a WUPHF! At least the 2nd round should go smoother, since it's basically Nashville lol

Just letting you guys know, after the 13th pick is made you are more than welcome to continue selecting if you are around, or you can just wait until your time tomorrow. However this will NOT affect the draft time of the team after you.

A Leafs fan picks the Leafs selection It was that obvious, huh? ..... I like what I've seen from him so far... I think he really skates well, great outlet pass and apparently he's a shoe in for Team Canada's Junior team this season... so hopefully its true?.. he's already the Leafs #1 prospect ...

WildGm hasn't logged on for 5 days...the fast picking has likely come to a screeching halt.

Sorry guys, I will tell you that I completely forgot that we went to time slots for the first two rounds. I was well aware that the draft was today, but i didnt know my time slot. Just by a mere coincidence, i went to the gym at 2 pm.....came back now and thankfull realized that it was my time on the clock. I dont know how long ago the time slots were posted (and i didnt see a post) so I really came close to missing my pick which would have been really frustrating. I dont know if maybe next year when we send out the draft e-mail....we could possibly put the time slots on there? I know that a link was provided to the message board, ibut its impossible to open the messageboard on a blackberry. Just a suggestion... Again, apologize if I'm being ignorant or if i should have known when my time was, but with it being a long weekend I've been out all weekend and knew that i had to be back here sometime today. I sent out an e-mail on Thursday with links, then sent another e-mail yesterday with links. That gave people 5 days advance notice. Maybe I should get everyone's phone number and hold their hand while letting them know their selection is up I check in often so don't really need email notifications, but I actually didn't receive the last couple of emails - probable an issue with my email?

If I was Scott (Tampa), I would have taken Derrick Pouliot; he's much more talented than Derek Pouliot.

I like the Pouliot pick at 14 a lot.
I also found Vancouvers pick of Teravainen at 10 interesting. Some people love that kid... McKeen's had him ranked higher than Sven Bartschi in the poolers issue. Not judging as I know nothing about him.
