J.I.A.H.N Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Someone said 7 instead of ten, others say 5 I say............UMmmmmmm 8 Can still have the last man out contest and double snake it My money is on Hextall But, in truth 2 top 5 picks every 5 years If you end up with 1, 2, 6, 6, 6...............you are still going to have a great core, if you pick well.

Sort of, I think separate the first 10 picks into its own draft section and reward teams that are close to competing for the playoffs. 23rd team in standings gets 1st overall 24th 2nd overall 25th 3rd 26th 4th 27th 5th 28th 6th 29th 7th 30th 8th 31st 9th 32nd 10th then the rest of the first round would be normal 22nd team in standings gets 11th 21st 12th 20th 13th 19th 14th 18th 15th 17th 16th then playoff bound teams get picks by round they go out 8 teams out in first round get picks 17- 24 in reverse order of reg season points. same for second round teams eliminated but picks 25 - 28 same for third round picks 29-30 SCF loser 31 SC winner 32 Then in round two and beyond the first 10 picks reverse and return to regular season points.

Aladeen Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Or have a mini tournament with bottom 4 or 8 teams to determine pick 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABNuck Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I still prefer the limited draft option...only the bottom 6 teams are eligible for #1, then the remaining 5 teams get tossed in with the next 2 in the standings to make the next 7 eligible for pick #2, then everyone that misses is in on #3. AND add the limit that no team can lotto a top 3 pick more than twice in any 5 year span and then you will have the MOST fair system to the bottom dwellers...but then again this is entertainment so Vince McBettman can pretty much do whatever he and the owners want anyways sooo...whatever...

We're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I have no idea what to think about it. Only two lottery spots means there is less chance of being pushed back spots when we inevitably have a hot streak and finish 7th worst in the league instead of bottom 3. It would have been nicer to win a lottery before they nerf the odds though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKNuck96 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 I would rather do away with it and have the draft pre built each year to give a fair overall positioning. Only downside would be it would take 32 years per full cycle which is probably to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah cause the old system was working so well right? Tanking for 1st overall is worse than anything you have mentioned because it ruins the integrity of the game and is pathetic in general. If a team is close to a playoff spot a high draft pick can put them over the top to compete. If perennial losers like Edmonton and Buffalo can't get it done with their multiple obvious tanks, that's on them, but in your opinion they should be rewarded for such incompetence over and over and over again until they somehow figure it out? Absolutely ridiculous and if you think my proposal is how capitalism works, the old system of bailing out bottom feeding corporations is exactly how capitalist society works. Capitalism is just another word for corporate socialism, at least with my proposal those getting a hand out will have earned it. Also in what way is the rich getting richer the top pick is the 23rd team? Not exactly a powerhouse and it proves they didn't tank. They are not a top team. What's really bad is a team like Edmonton getting 4 first overalls in the span of 6 years or 3 in a row - look at that and talk about a broken system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
