I will never, ever vote in favour of allowing the Tweedle Dums that populate the main board to vote on who wins our draft. Most of those buffoons are clueless about hockey and its rich history. A lot of guys put too much work and effort in this draft to allow it to be spoiled.
The GMs of this draft are the elite of the elite on HF Boards. We are more than capable of picking a winner. We voted to determine the division seeding (you couldn't vote on your own division), and we voted on our playoff winners. (You couldn't vote on your own series, and the series whose winner you would face). It worked great.
I see no need to allow anyone outside of this draft (unless it was a panel of experts agreed to be draft GMs) any sway in determining the outcome.
Amen. Well-said. We all put too much work into these drafts to let people who think Cloutier is better than HOF goalies from the 60's, etc., vote. (Hope I'm not violating draft etiquette by mentioning Cloutier)
I think anybody that is knowledgeable, even if they didn't participate in the actual drafts, should be allowed to vote if they want, assuming they're "approved" by a majority of GMs in the draft.
