Yes, it would have been 12 hours per pick. It's up to you, do you want to rewind the draft to when you got a pick skipped or are you ok with who you ended up selecting?

Here's a bit more background and a fun story. I frankly think I only invited Sam to Moscow because I knew she and Cow were good friends, and it was around when I just became GM. I had been thinking of opening up the LR to more people, just to get more people and voices in there to bump activity and develop a community. Cow was obviously someone I'd game with, and at some point Sam would be talking to us through the chat while we played. Eventually we coerced her into the vc where she stayed generally silent, and one day unmuted to drop like one line. Earth shattering. Pattern just about held for a while, Sam in vc while me and Cow played Parkitect, and she started unmuting more when I'd go terraform land into a prison for our guests. Heartless and psychopathic, I know. But slowly she spoke more and more just to laugh at the stupid shit we'd do. Fast forward to like 2 weeks ago where she calls me almost out of the blue to help her college roommate with her excel homework, and I just sat there listening to them giggle over random shit and how dumb her roommate was being. Not being able to copy paste and all that, but it was truly awesome to think back about completely uninteractive Sam to one who seamlessly engaged in conversation with 4+ people at the same time and taking control of the chat. V proud good job adios!

It's been pretty well documented that ice time sliders mean nothing. Ice time is purely dependent on what lines you're in. 1st line gets the most, 4th gets the least.

How will this work for a team with 2 D-men? Both of them on 1st pairing and bots on the rest?

1. It's always sad to see familiar faces leave the team, and I wish them all the best. They'll be menaces for life of course. I am also very excited about the people we brought in though, and think this could be a fantastic season. 2. I've been waiting for this season for about 3 seasons now! It's time to compete. 3. I feel really good about our playoff chances, and hopefully we can turn into a deep playoff team. 4. Wow, NHL time already? That's crazy. Unfortunately Sid and Geno on the Pens are injured so they have no top 6 caliber centers, but maybe preseason will be good to see what we've got in the system. 5. Chicken easily, but I also really like onions and mushrooms on pizza. If you say pineapple, I'm trading you to Davos. 6. Unfortunately I traded out of all our picks in this draft, but we've added more picks for next draft! I think the draft went well, I miss hosting the M draft though. Hopefully I'll be able to host in the future.

I kept a park co-managed by Cow in the green so I wasn't that bad

OP edited with roster as of this point. We're zooming, let's keep it up!

I'll keep this short and sweet. This really was a tough decision though, I'd give so many people on this team letters if I could. First Alternate - The Seabasstard - @Seabass Frankly, being in a 2C role isn't glorious, but yet Seabass continues to be a vocal presence in the LR and remains committed to a shared team goal. As a veteran of the league and a steady voice in the locker room, I find him crucial to the team and someone ideal to be an Alternate Captain! Second Alternate - Duncan Idaho - @OrbitingDeath No surprises here, an alternate last season continues to be an alternate this season. Easily the best player on the team right now, and someone we'll be counting on to lead our offense on the ice this season and keep spirits high. Maybe we'll buy him a lego set he wants if we win a cup this season . Captain - Phillip Stein - @IHateBobNutting Probably the easiest choice I'll ever make. Not the best earner, not the most active forum user, or the most involved around the league, but easily someone who leads the team in passion, drive and team spirit. He's always asking about the state of the team and keeping me honest, and performs superbly on the ice with literally anyone I line him up with. it's like STHS recognizes his leadership capability and shows it in his consistent statistical output. Sometimes, the most passionate guy is the right one for the job over the most qualified. It's certainly the case here. Congrats Phil!!!!!!! Honorable Mention: I would have named @N0HBDY captain over the weekend but I knew he was getting traded on Monday. Appreciate everything you've done for the team as a player, and looking forward to all your contributions in the future as an advisor!
