So here's an idea...
Maybe we can meet-up at the 2016 NHL Draft in Buffalo (June 24/25, 2016)? Well, a few of us, at least! I was thinking to myself... A few of us (to my knowledge, Caroline, Gravol, Milwaukee (for now!), Morweena, Oslo and myself) live reasonably near Buffalo, and Doug (Stockholm) often makes the trip to the draft for his podcast, so this might actually be the best chance we have at something like this (until Toronto hosts the draft in 2017!). It might be a long shot for Quebec to pull it off, and an extra long shot for Camarillo, Dynamo and Mandalore to pull it off, and an ASTRONOMICAL long shot for Melbourne, but if any of you had interest in attending an NHL Draft anyways...
It's a bit of a ways away, but might be something to think about.
Free dinner for the 2015 champion!

Gravol would have loved to have been a part of the 1st Annual DHL GM Meetings in Boca-Buffalo but, unfortunately we have already committed to the gathering for a lil' girl's b-day party that weekend and have to work during the week to free up the time in the weekend.
Please let us know what we owe for the Kings' Championship dinner of hot-hot wings and some bubbly.

Morweena is in a similar spot....only instead of a birthday, he is awaiting the birth day of his little girl...This would have worked out better last year when I was already at the draft for work.

I DID!!!
Silly to think the Commish would give us a weeks notice.
I may be up against B-day Bash #2 but I will try my best to persuade the wife to pick an alternate weekend for "work-related" reasons.
And I like that this year now has a "Wings & Beer" Dinner Prize attached to the outcome!

Understood Commish...my bad to lead Alex astray.
I was thinking it was Buffalo this year to follow the Combine.
Wish I could say I'd been drinking like Kane & Crawford for the past 2 days but no excuses available fuk.

If I'm in Buffalo next June I'm very much in favor of this. My co-host Eddie Garcia can play the part of Paul (Camarillo).

Ironically - since I live in Buffalo - I think I will likely not be able to make it... but I think you guys should still do it!
We're going to be moving to Nebraska.

I would love to be part of this but can't see a way to pull it off. I am actually from Melbourne but live just outside London in the UK so, whilst not astronomical, still a major endeavour.
I travel to Houston quite a lot for work so if anyone else finds themselves in that part of the world, let me know.
Likewise, if you come to London, look me up.

BUMP!
Just a reminder that this is an option of people plan on making it out to the draft this year. I plan to be there either way.
If at least a few other people can make it out, maybe we can hold our draft lottery there!
