RULES

Draft 3 lines, each consisting of 1 C, 1 LW, 1 RW, 2 D, and 1 G.

Players can come from any time in history, BUT they must have played professional hockey and they cannot be fictional.

You have 8 hours to make each pick. If you have back-to-back picks, you get 8 hours to make both picks, not 16. (And once you post your first of the two, the next guy's on the clock -- no posting one at midnight and the other at 7:55 -- just post them both at once.)

Clock penalties:
1 miss: no penalty
2 misses: drop to 4-hour clock
3 misses: autoskip for the remainder of the draft

Gator rule: Abraham Lincoln is not eligible to be drafted.

Showdown portion: Each line will be treated as a separate "team" and entered into a 24-team bracket (so feel free to come up with line names).
Round 1 will be 3-team showdowns with the top 2 vote-getters advancing. Standard 16-team bracket after that. I'll do my best to avoid having anyone facing their own lines.

Add/drop will start Friday, November 23, at noon ET and run for 48 hours.

Final lines are due to me via PM by noon ET on Monday. If I don't have your lines via PM by the deadline, I reserve the right to construct them as I see fit.

Not really a choice here even if I didn't get into hockey until the end of his career when he was a dirty Ranger for the most part. But his daughter is smoking hot as you're about to see...

1. Wayne Gretzky

I'm not sure there's any other draft where the #1 pick is so clear-cut.

2. Mike Modano - C

At least I think he was a C. Like I know the difference in the non goalie positions anyway.

Modano was a C.

4. Bobby Orr - D

I didn't expect two goalies to go right in front of me. I was hoping one of two forwards would fall to me, and I now have to agonizingly pick one.

7. Mark Messier - C/LW



Carlito up.

Fuck. I was really hoping Mess would fall to me.

8. Dominik Hasek- G

9. Ray Bourque- D

Nov 14, 2012 15:32:37 GMT -5
And he gets his other forward - not sure if I'll put him on the Messier line, but I sure wouldn't want to play against them.

10. Gordie Howe - RW



Hodgey back up.

Fifth strikes again. Mr. Hockey at 10 is astonishing.

Sharky, you're not doing badly at all for a guy who says he doesn't know hockey.
