2017 Top SHELF Relegation Draft Selection Thread

[Chicago Blackhawks]

Welcome to the 2017 Top Shelf Relegation Draft! Here is our first year using the new format! The 15 non playoff teams will select TWICE in the first round, followed by the 16 playoff teams selecting TWICE in the 2nd round, this will continue to alternate until round 7. All teams will participate in round 7 to end the draft. Since this is Vegas' expansion year they will be given the first 2 picks of Round 1, Round 3, Round 5, and the first pick in the combined 7th round. The relegation draft document can also be found here >>> Relegation Draft Link <<< OR by clicking on the right sidebar listed as 2017 Relegation Draft. We will be providing a player list inside the google document with available players, however it is a generosity we are doing to the league and obviously there will be a bunch of players left off this list, such as prospects, oversea players, and even players from the 2017 entry draft who were selected in the later rounds. It is up to GMs to do their homework as much as they can!

REMINDER: If you are at 45 Roster Players at any point in the draft, when you make your next selection you MUST ANNOUNCE A DROP when selecting. If at any point you wish not to participate in the draft any longer please just simply say "Pass On All Remaining Picks."

Schedule
The clocks will begin on Wednesday August 9th and will be 2 hours long resulting in 8 picks each day. The draft will last 28 days based off the timeslots and will end on September 6th just in time for pre-season to begin.

[Detroit Red Wings]

Curious as to why the draft order in this league is different from the one in OG. Is that just because of the salary cap in OG?
