I am not sure it's a good idea to save everything for the draft then the second it starts before they pick first we have 5 deals. It sort of over shadows the guy being drafted first a bit

At times the Draft lacks drama, as such one of my ideas is that while teams can talk and negotiate trades trades arent allowed to be announced till the draft. what do you think

When discussing things that you'd like to do, please don't title your thread something that suggests that it's already a true thing.

Thread title edited.

As for the idea, I don't like it.

The reason for the draft is to deaft young players and show hope for the future of the organization. Its not a second trade deadline. Its not about the trades, of course they happen but they arent the point of the draft

When teams come to the podium to announce their draft picks, they should have newly-traded players unexpectedly come out of the tunnel WWE-style with their new jerseys on.

has there been a trade that knocked the NHL playoffs off the third page in Canada? Trades wont start happening until 48 prior to the draft and on draft day we will have about a dozen trades

We'd just get Bobbombs like the NBA has wojbombs.

These things?
