No one answers in hockey thread, but since we almost did four sports I was inspired to do my first NHL league. Maybe one of you knows something about hockey, because I sure don't. Critique please. Crosspost:

Confirmed swap 3rd rders and they get my 28th rd pick

Picking now

Sorry for the delay at the nets game now

How can they get the 28th round pick? Do you mean swap in the 28th? Or swap 28th with last round or something?

he means we are swapping the pick in the 3rd round and he is giving us his 28th round pick, not swapping.

I guess he means they are trading 28th for their 74th?

Ok..I can update sheet since movie is at game

Yeah I guess he gets our last pick by default

damn..once stras went i knew clayshaw wouldnt be far behind

no,

movie gives up 3.5 and 28.x for the 3.1

Nice pick movie. You took my homer pick.

alright loosekanen, you're up. please don't take kobe bryant. sent a you're up PM with movie being at the game and all.

picked and pm sent. see you guys in like 3 days? lol

wow, derrick rose is a nice sleeper. was off my radar due to the injury.

they say it takes 18 months for a complete ACL recovery. next november is about 18 months...

we'll see. if he gets healthy again he's first round talent i think.

Does anyone else feel 3RR drafting format + first pick in all 3 rookie draft favors the teams who got later picks too much? Maybe we should do two rookie drafts in reverse order of this draft, and one in the same order?

Not sure if favors, but I def have thought to myself, i kinda wish I got 12th haha

I think the time to bring that up would've been before the draft.

this X 100
