AHL- Apolyton Hockey League 07/08: Draft II

[Flubber]

snoopy

If you will be away, you can forward the picks to me as well.

It was weird to come into this thread and see no new picks or even offhand comments in here for a couple of hours.

Are people actually doing their jobs/ school/lives??

[Sparrowhawk]

I have had a busy afternoon and was worried that Boo would have picked and that you would be waiting on me. I am to see that it is not yet my turn.

Now if I could just decide on a pick I could be ready for when he does pick!

/me

[snoopy369]

Feel free to send me your two picks also If you send them to me, make clear which is 'before Asher' and which is 'after Asher' in case you have crossover with him.

mrboo, if you can, either send me or NYE your second pick once you make your first - that way we can have a huge pick-cascade that gets us back to the middle of the round instantly

[mrboo123]

At this point, its time to pick dark horses. Wish there was someone else I could pick that could be better (I suppose there is, but this where lack of NHL knowledge will kill you).

Maybe. How the next 4 picks go will influence my next pick, but I'll think about it.

The guy averages over a point a game and Chicago got more talented over the summer. It's a BRILLIANT 8th round pick. Even if he is injury prone, it's certainly worth the gamble!

[mrboo123]

Sparrowhawk: Clean out your PMs! Its bin full ever since the draft started! (I think)

Snoopy: I'm around now so I can make my pick. I'm reconsidering the list I sent you now.

Yeah. He'll be out the first 2-4 weeks. He missed about that much time last season too, and he still put up big numbers. No reason to expect they'll drop off with the Ducks.

Short answer...........No!

Long answer.........it's been full a lot longer then that (I think maybe march?), I used to be a plus member and got the membership for the larger PM boxes. Since I let my membership expire in August, I can no longer receive new PM's until I delete half of my PM's (I would need to delete over 150 pm's). I have neither the time nor the interest in doing so. If it helps any, every time someone tries to send me a PM I get an Email that says "MrBoo just tried to send you a PM but your box was full" (or somesuchthing). This would be beneficial but I don't really check my email very often either so it doesn't really help.

Having said all that, I check Apolyton as much or more then anyone, and this is among the first threads I check, and I seldom have held up either of the two drafts I am in, so what benefit would there be for me to clean out my PM's? (even if I got the PM, I likely would have checked here before I realized that a new PM had arrived)



(added the smiley faces at the end and the beginning to be clear that my message isn't supposed to have a harsh tone to it as I am in a grumpy mood from a sh**ty day at work)
