Wait, are we not transferring the teams to the new owners where they can then choose who to keep from that team's roster? Or are all the players from the transferred teams going into the draft/free agent pool?
If everyone can keep their choice of 3 players then I'd prefer a snake draft using last year's standings to determine the order. Even playing field. Assuming everyone keeps 3 players, one manager having the 1st pick and the 13th pick and another having the 12th and the 24th doesn't seem all that fair.. Pretty significant advantage.
One team transferred hands when Tomibertfan dropped out. FVM is that teams new owner. That's the only ownership change we have except for the two expansion teams.
The expansion teams DO NOT have anyone to keep. Snake or non-snake, assuming every existing team from last year uses all three keepers, the first 6 actual picks of the draft will be going to the expansion teams, which in theory means they get the 6 best players who are not declared as keepers by any other teams.
If someone doesn't keep three players, they can get an earlier pick in, and if by chance someone doesn't use any keepers, they'll have the third pick overall. The expansion teams will be picking 1-2. The lottery will determine who gets the first pick and who gets McDavid, assuming that person wants McDavid.
I'm pretty sure we talked about doing non-snake based on last years standings, but we can do snake as well if that's what everyone wants.
