I honestly think 4 teams per division making it is best. It doesn't happen often, but once in awhile 3 of the best teams are in the same division.

I DEFINITELY think at least 2 teams per division need to make it.

This is why I think wild card is what we want, top 20 teams make it

No, he already swapped.

Sorry, BB mentioned that you hadn't and I was hoping you were around while tagging. Just wanted to make my swaps and get to planning

Guess I wasn't online during the only 6 hours that mattered!

Oh well, this is why trading sucks

IF we go back to 1 team per GM next year, we definitely need to allow GMs who want it to pick their own draft position (or more specifically, send a list of wanted positions). With GMS who vote in every round this year getting priority when it comes to picking.

(We were supposed to do it this year, but going to 2 teams per GM changed things up)

We can still do this with 2 teams: just give the advantage for 1 team out of 2.

Nope.

4 rounds means 16 make it.
5 rounds means 32 make it.

My bad, my numbers were per conference.

I just saw this- nearly 1000 players will be selected in this draft. That's one-seventh of the players who've had any significant careers in Major Hockey.

Holy f***cum shit!

Hall of Fame caliber- emptied

Hall of Very Good caliber- emptied

Hall of Good caliber- emptied

Hall of Decent caliber- tapped into.

It is like when we had an ATD, MLD and AAA draft every year.

There are plenty of past depth drafts to research.

 

[ResilientBeast]

So what playoff format are we going with?

So...

Realistically, it's either 4 rounds (top 2 from each division make the playoffs) or 5 rounds (top 4 from each division make the playoffs).

Realistically... 4 rounds makes the most sense. Yeah, a good team might get screwed... but I am willing to bet that no team that finished 3rd or 4th have a realistic shot at the title.
