Hey everyone,
The 2023 Dynasty Hockey League EL Player Draft will begin on Friday, September 8th at 4:30pmET/1:30pmPT!
Our entire 1st Round draft order, as it stands now, is as follows:
*1. Haukiputaan Ahmat -
*2. Simi Valley Kings -
*3. Tampa Bay Thunder (from Bratislava Bears) -
*4. Portland Buckaroos -
*5. Castleford Coyotes -
6. Moscow Red Army (from Melbourne Bushrangers) -
7. Tampa Bay Thunder (from Vegas Aces Wild) -
8. Portland Buckaroos (from Oslo Mastodon) -
9. Melbourne Bushrangers (from Tampa Bay Thunder) -
10. Moscow Red Army (from Morweena Reimnoceri) -
11. Moscow Red Army -
12. Portland Buckaroos (from St. Roch Hawks) -
* = After Lottery Draw
Firstly: We have Sami, Paul and then Michael to start the draft this year. There's some whiplash with the timezones there. I'm hoping that aiming for the time that I've set, the timezones will somewhat work out and we can keep some flow going. Maybe not, and everyone is due their 24hrs if they need it, but from what I figure, this might work out okay.
Secondly: Remember that you can "PASS" on your selection if you don't have anyone in mind at the time of your pick. This is allowed once per draft pick, and will bump your on-the-clock selection to the bottom of this year's draft board. This will buy you more time to decide on who to take (or work out a trade), but will cost you the priority that pick originally had. If a team decides to PASS, the next team in the draft order is up for selection for 24hrs past the time of the PASS. Alternatively, managers will also be allowed to simply "EXPIRE" their selection if they have no intent of making a selection with their pick.
Here's a breakdown/refresher of how the EL Player Draft process works:
- At 4:30pmET/1:30pmPT, the clock starts for the manager whose selection it is (Haukiputaan as of now).
- That manager then has a maximum of 24 hours to submit their selection, by way of a post/reply in the thread designated for that corresponding round (Round 1-Round 5 each have their own thread) on the 2023 EL Player Draft section of the boards. Say however much/whatever you'd like to say, but somewhere in the post please list the player's first and last name, FanTrax position, and current NHL team (i.e. Connor Bedard, C, Chicago Blackhawks). This year's draft takes place here - dynastyhockey99.proboards.com/board/56/2023-el-player-draft
- When that selection is made, the next manager in the order has a maximum of 24hrs, from the moment the previous choice was made, to make their own selection. This cycle will repeat until we've gone through all 5 rounds.
- If a manger is on the clock for 24hrs and has not yet made a selection, the next person in the order is put on the clock to make a selection. The late manager's "skipped" selection is valid to be made at any time, but they've lost their priority. If a late selection is submitted, no matter how much time was left on the clock for a manager who has been skipped to, the clock will reset to a full 24hrs again.
- Before submitting a bid, please check the DHL Spreadsheet's Player List tab to ensure that player is not already owned by another manager.
- As the draft goes on, and selections are made, the commissioner will update the original post of that round to list the selections already made.
- If you are unable to make a decision on a selection, or have no room left on your roster for a selection, you have the option to "PASS" on your selection(s) once per draft pick. By doing this, you are essentially moving that pick to the bottom of the draft board. This will buy you more time, but will also cost you the pick's original priority. If you want to PASS on a pick, just say so at any point in the draft, and it will be noted as such on the draft board. Alternatively, managers will also be allowed to simply "EXPIRE" their selection if they have no intent of making a selection with their pick.
- While each selection has a maximum of 24hrs, you are encouraged to make your selections as soon as you are able. The sooner we get the draft done, the sooner we can start Free Agency, and make sure we'll be ready to go for NHL Opening Night. If you are unable to make your selection through traditional means, feel free to contact the commissioner (on the boards, through email, through Facebook, however you please), and he can make your selection for you.
That should just about do it. Happy drafting, everybody!
