What about Aug. 17/08 at 6:00pm More than 50 % of the GM's may be working on the 16th We may be working on the 17th as well but there is a better chance that we wont be.

Have we settled on Sunday August 17 at 6:00 as the time for our entry draft? What is the draft order?

I agree with Cory on that one. Why cant we do the draft online that way we all have computer access when it is our pick not off some peice of paper that we jot things down on. that way we can check up with any lates updates from the nhl or club teams on how these new players contracts and injuries and such. Also that way we can possible move our 2010 picks sooner than later. It looks like most of us have been online in the past 24 to 48 hours. so it looks like everyone has computer acess regularly.

thats a good idea as well I think there is alot of diffrent ways each with good points I dont think you are going to find away to make everyone happy so I purpose we let Jay make a desision and choose the way and give everyone enough time to make arrangements then who ever can participate will and those who cant will have to pick from proxy ( thats via other method for all you Meat heads just kidding so my final vote is let the guy who started it decide

Yeah, we can do it online if there's no way we can agree to a date-but the whole point is for us to get together and schmooze-discussing rule changes and engaging in trade talk is a heck of a lot more productive in person. If anything, this date should have been set in stone a long time ago so we all would have a chance to clear our schedules for the date. So be it. Whatever you guys want to do, I'm for it, let's just get it done.

Whatever you guys want to do, I'm for it, let's just get it done. A date was set in stone. Unfortunately...7 of us will be in the middle of a shutdown during that date. I also believe we should get together for the draft. In the rules it states that if someone can't make it, they can print a list of prospects that I can use to pick for them. I have a way of doing this so nobody (including me) will know the list until that player/draft pick comes up. Call me if you need to do this or want to here more about it. Almost all of the GM's I have spoken to have expressed an interest in having our prospect draft fairly closer to (or combined with) the NHL Entry Draft. This is something we will address with the new BOG.

sounds good pick a date and who ever can come will be there and who ever cant will make other arrangements
the key is notice so the sooner we know the more time we can make arrangements to be there

August 17 seems to be it.
Randy cant make it but has no picks. Jason Peters cant make it but also has no picks. George is the only one that this will affect. If he gets together with me I will show him how we can keep his picks a secret..

We are having a meeting and draft on Sunday August 17/08.
It will take place at the Horseshu Pub at 6:30pm. After the meeting the Prospect draft will commence.
Since we have changed the draft date due to unforeseen circumstances attendance is not mandatory but is preferred.
If you can not make this meeting you will have to make arrangements with me before the meeting.
If you can not make the draft you will have to do one of these things.
1. Provide a list to me to make your picks for you. I have a way of doing this so nobody [even me] will know your list while we make your picks.
2. Do it over the phone. (Everybody is required to make their pick within a maximum of 5 minutes of the last pick or it will be skipped over, even by phone)
3. Make your picks at the end of the draft.(Must be same day)
4. Trade away your picks.
