Teams should get players from the teams they eliminate

[Laineux]

Teams should be able to pick the best players from the teams they eliminate to play for them in Playoffs. This would make playoffs more interesting and the game would be at a much higher level. No super stars would be eliminated thus increasing the entertainment value tenfold.

E.g. Rangers could pick Ovechkin, Bäckström to play for them against Lightning, then if Tampa Bay won the Series they could pick Ovie, Lundqvist etc... This would hugely rise the value of winning a Stanley Cup.

I would take no pride in winning if half of my team wasn't my team....

 

[Al Swearengen]

That might be an interesting format for a one-off soccer-style international club tournament, but not for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

That's an awful idea for real life hockey. Would be great for the EA NHL games though.

That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard. This idea is so stupid that I actually want to look up other ideas on these boards that I've condemned for being stupid and think about whether I should give those ideas another chance, just because they seem bloody brilliant compared to this idea. Yes, including the thread about adding an area in the net that would give the team two goals if they managed to score there.

For shame.

One thing is for sure, this thread won't last much longer

 

[The Red Line]

Literally the worst idea I've ever seen proposed.

And if Ovechkin/Backstrom tear an ACL, are the Rangers gonna pay the bill and take the cap hit for the duration of the injury?

Fine then that other team should pay half of that players salary for the following season, and half of that players salary cap should be transferred as well. So NY Rangers would pay half of Ovechkin`s salary and shoulder half of his salary cap the following season.

No, the Capitals can injure a Rangers player of their choice. Same type of injury.

this is the stupidest idea ever? this right here?

then you must really think high of humanity lol

 

[crowi]

Such an awful idea. What if one of these "borrowed" guys suffers a career ending injury while playing for another team? Even the fact some of these guys would consider playing for another in the first place is questionable.

 

[Nekz]

This would be really cool idea for an exhibition tournament.

 

[Laineux]

We could just limit it to two players that can be chosen from the other team. Thus the team would remain it's identity.

so the rest of your guys who have battled through the season and playoffs just get a "screw you" and sent to the press box? LMAO this would kill team chemistry.

I think we're done here. Let's save these threads for the super exciting off season.
