That would make it better imo. In games like these sometimes the teams are so stacked that GMs don't see the need to trade.
But then I'm in a bit of a pickle after picking the Oilers 1st overall though lol.
I have a question though. Will we do voting for rebuilders as well. I think having two contests, a contending and a rebuilding contest would increase trading, so that both your veterans and your prospects will be in demand.
Yep rebuilding and contending cup
I get what you are saying but the one issue with that is the top picks in the team draft are WAY better than the teams you can pick at 8/9.
2 round snake at least gives the people who picked last the advantage of getting a 2nd "alright" team.
But someone who starts with Tampa will have way more impact players than someone who just starts with Philly or something like that.
I pick 5th so it doesn't matter too much to me, but just thought I would raise that point. If everyone picking near the end is fine with that, then I guess ignore this haha
I thought having the dispersal where those teams can take players like Crosby, Pastrnak, MacKinnon or Kakko, Chabot, Makar in the first few rounds would be a good thing. Also yes having Tampa or SJ is better for contending than a team like Philly or NJ miles better for rebuilding so that was my thought process. If we want to change it we can but I just figured that more trading would be more fun.
Also, what counts for the rebuilders cup? Age? NHL games played?
Any one you want. You can have Zdeno Chara, Joe Thornton, and Patrick Marleau on your rebuilder if you really want.
