Since I'll be out of commission a little while with some wisdom teeth surgery I enrolled in this all-time draft on hockeysfuture.com to keep me occupied, feel free to follow my progress if you are bored or whatnot. I pick 26th overall unfortunately (Kansas City Scouts) but it is a sssssnake format so I pick quick on the swing at least. I'm hoping for either Red Kelly or Big Bird in Round 1 and either Big M or Dickie Moore on the swing as LW is the weakest depth position historically.

Those are pretty good, although the first 10 players are pretty standard.

Agreed. However I'm not an advocate of an early goaltender as I think there isn't much of a dropoff at goalie from say Sawchuck to Plante to Hall to Roy to etc....

Yet there is a huge dropoff at many other positions after pick 20...from Bossy and Lafleur to guys like Geoffrion for instance.

So how does the pool work?

basically I draft a team on feel against guys who have HHOF monitors of their own 1000's deep which should be fun. Then afterwards since you are in divisions and such your team competes against others within your division via majority vote which isn't as cool as say having some sort of sim compute game totals or something but like i said it will be a good distraction to build a team using any hockey player in history while I'm awol from work for a little while.
