HF GM Games Fantasy Mock Draft #3 - Discussion IV

Taylor Hall for a 2C and a winger.

@NeoCanuck is up @LatvianTwist

Or just do internal polls, that'd work easy enough too

Can we remove the 2 trade limit after the trade by chance

I don't really want to change the rules yet again. We'll learn from this in future drafts, I'm sure.

The trading rules are clearly a failed experiment. Easy to adjust though (all or nothing, although for the sake of commissioners and draft boards perhaps all should only be after the draft).

I think the cap has been a great addition.

And it remains to be seen, but I think the bracket will make things more rewarding even for those eliminated early. Gives people a reason to follow - even if I lose in the first round, it's entirely possible to claim the 2nd best team by losing to the eventual winner.

The 30 minute clock was a big success last game as well, so I expect that to continue.

Actually, I love that. Trades are only allowed for a day post draft (yes people will trade before but don't be stupid and announce it), the cap we have, the bracket. Definitely would be great. We've seen some BIG deals this draft

WHO WANTS ELIAS PETTERSSON

Not a fan, I feel the only problem with trades was how limited they were.

I suggested that 5 Total pick and player trades (aka 5 each), Is a good number.
Honestly if you want to be more tight about it make it three.
Don’t limit the amount of picks that can be traded, or players, Just limit the total amount of trades.
Let trades only be allowed after the 10th round, This is when most teams will have an established top six, top two defenseman, and a potential goalie.

It also gives more flexibility

Well there was only one guy that was announcing trades beforehand and I highly doubt he will be joining an LT or Joey run draft anytime soon.

I'm not a fan of the internal voting, but I'm probably biased because I think both my opponent's team is very strong.

Maybe we do polls on the mains for the semis and finals or something.

I’m fine with internal voting, but only after this draft.
I think that’s the most fair and reasonable way

 

[m0pe]

Damn it @Kent Nilsson

Barby and Sundqvist were my 2 top targets

one more steal and you are banned for life

 

[Canucks LB]

internal voting? Don't think so, could be wrong tho

GMs will vote on each matchup to determine who will advance (vote for who you think would win each matchup, not who you think is the best - this provides more nuance to building a quality team)

oh, looks like your right haha

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Yeah guys don’t steal from M0pe he’s drafting with restrictions so that’s really uncool
