And they had the first pick of the second round! A great draft position IMO.
Great only if I had had a chance at a guy like Ovechkin; of course since he was available right before your pick, and then I have to watch the top 10 or so non-CHL players disappear after having watched the top 8 CHL players disappear, not sure the position is that great. But I'm not bitter
Nevertheless you argument is correct, unless of course one team essentially gets a bye to the finals and the other 8 duke it out for the final spot. Your suggestion is the best way to go to eliminate someone.
Though posting a poll where all teams are listed and expecting them to be waded through might be a lot. I might suggest that each of us drafting would pick the 3 teams we think are the lowest rated, and the top 3 vote getters from that poll be posted for an elimination.
