no kidding. while we are at it. get rid of the cap. that way 3/4 teams can have every prospect coming in and all the free agents.Craig Ludwig said:Getting ris of the draft is probably the dumbest thing I have ever seen on these boards. Are you being serious?
ludger said:Now that the nhl has reached parity, is it time to stop rewarding bad teams and go back to the Crosby draft formula of last year? Great for marketting the league
Blackjack said:simply do two things
#1 get rid of the draft altogether
#2 allow any team to sign any player from any other teams "farm team"
This will do far more for parity than any draft ever could.
rigger said:I like the Lottery draft as well, better then from the standings because it favors throwing the last month of the season if you know you are out of playoff contention.
Give each team a number of balls that is reflective of their past seasons performance and pick them like that. Much more fair.

bletchley said:Drafts are a must boys. Otherwise it'll be like English football. Letting teams sign 12 year olds.
I must admit tho, I"m sick of the Pens getting a sickning number of high picks. Whitney, Sid, Malkin, MAF and this year. The Pens are either the smartest team on the planet, or are an emabarassment after all those high picks they are still picking high.
MAF went 1st overall?I hope they rot.

That I will never understand.

bletchley said:I've been watchin the game looong before you have. That I can guarantee you. I'm guessing yuo're an uninformed American hockey fan who only follows the Pens? Sound right?
MAF is a joke. Only Mike Milbury takes goalies 1st overall.

bletchley said:There's a reason Pittsburgh is a joker of a team.
MAF 1st overall is a flat out terrbile pick. CP was blinded by one showing that the WJs.
ludger said:It seems to me that teams consistently finishing in the middle of the pack are doomed to remain the same while teams finishing last for three to four years become powerhouses under the present draft system. example ottawa, and soon to be, pittsburg. The reward for mediocrety is wait for a few years and you will be one of the top teams.
