What’s funny is that until I typed KC I had not decided who I wanted. So that “Ummmm KC I guess” was as real as my fictional character saying it. I was actually jumping between KC/Dallas 50/50. If Steelman would have taken SA, which was more than possible, I would have taken Dallas. That would have been both teams out in the top 8.

Speaking of drafts, I know we go reverse order for picking players, but I’m concerned about even playing field. Do we go reverse 24 to 1 order for both the rookie draft and the real draft? Or switch back and forth. 24 to 1 for the rookie draft then back to 1 to 24 for the real draft?

Wow, it was a small twist of fate that led to the Texas teams dropping like this. As for the draft, my guess (Gritty's the only one that knows for sure) is that the rookie draft will be two serpentine rounds based on owner draft order while the real draft will be a random draw with a serpentine style as well. Come to think of it, we actually don't know what the draft style for the AltHL will be, do we?

Good question i am working on a post to cover all of that.  I am waiting to post it until after the Owner Draft.  If the Owner Draft isn't don't by tomorrow for some reason I'll post it anyway.  So we can get ready the draft(s).
 

Sounds good! Thanks for staying on top of things, Gritty.

I think my favorite thing is watching everyone's signatures and stuff changing. I had to mess around with an online editor to get what I have just so I wasn't left out.

I’m definitely surprised to see San Antonio and Dallas still available. They’re both fantastic identities. I was REAL close to choosing SA.

In retrospect I guess I should have seen Buffalo for 3PT but didn’t expect Andy to go for Miami. Draft chaos is the best!

QCS couldn’t ignore the pull of his hometown despite his reservations about the name and identity. Fun how that works. Haha. Our hometown blood dies hard.

To be fair they were also at the top of my wish list, but I considered going to the next one on my list (Kentucky) just to avoid getting Carolina. But yeah, the hometown pull was too strong!

Oh yeah, messing around with that is fun. When I took the Bigs I got to use "Welcome to the Hockey Mountains" and now I have "The Green and Scarlet, All for Charlotte", so coming up with slogans and stuff is a fun time. I really like what you've done as well, that yellow, gray, and black scheme is clean.

To the surprise of no one, a Texas team is taken off the board!
