It might prevent the weaker GM's being sold a bill of goods, thinking "look at all the picks I'm getting", when in reality most of them are so far down the road, they're almost meaningless.

They’d be 1 trade away from a boat load of 2nds to recover with a dipietro trade ..you’d like to think petes will take less won’t happen that’s the Goin rate they’ll get itAs a fan of a team trying to get a boatload of picks for Will Cuylle, do you not hate this rule?
I know WSR was a popular guess for people on where he could end up. Well over the next 6 years, WSR has just 4 2nds. I assume WSR would say I'm not going down to 1 tradeable asset, you'll have to take less. Which certainly wouldn't be good news for the Petes if teams start getting eliminated from the Cuylle sweepstakes because of a lack of picks in the next 6 years
No, I think some GM's think a 2nd pick is a 2nd pick is a 2nd pick, which just isn't true. Net present value, and all that. A draft pick seven years from now is less than magic beans in my eyes, it's just going to change hands a half dozen more times.As a fan of a team trying to get a boatload of picks for Will Cuylle, do you not hate this rule?

I don't think player movement is a huge factor for those players. The teams that the fence sitting college players gravitate to (London for example) tend to move more players in and out that anyone.You might see more roster players move now, not sure this will make the league more attractive to players sitting on the fence on which route to take
I don't think this will really change anything. I never understand the people who come out at deadline time with the "wow a 4 year old kid was just traded" tweets. No, picks are just used as currency. Only thing this will mean is teams will have to sell bigger before going "all-in" because you'll need to stockpile picks in that 4 year window when you're going to make your run so you have tradeable assets

I still think 4 years is too far ahead. It's good that they're doing something, though. Anyone who has paid attention to trades in the OHL knows it's gotten out of hand. I'd like to see them allow first round picks to be traded, but only in the next draft and only if the team dealing the first rounder has at least one second round pick for that year in the cupboard.
How is it out of hand? It’s called asset management. If one does any research at all on the subject before jumping to conclusions they will realize the average draft pick will trade hands 4-5 times before it is actually used. It is a place holder and a tradeable asset. Simple as that
You've had some contending teams trade nearly all of their second and third round picks 5, 6 even 7 years down the line. If these teams don't recoup those picks they put themselves in a really bad spot, particularly in a league where no player plays more than 5 years.

Each team digs their own grave and it is up to them to recoup or sink.
The good teams do this. The wannabes don’t
Again, all comes Dow to how you manage your assets
So basically if you have a bad GM who doesn't know what he's doing, you're going to be screwed. And if you have a smart GM who understands the league, you will be in a much better spot.
Yeah, that sounds like how it should be
