Just to keep things fresh and interesting, here's an idea from yours truly to change up our prize system a little bit.
Current System:
Banner Contest Winner Prize = 3rd Round Pick 1st Place Predictor Prize = 1st Round Pick 2nd Place Predictor Prize = 2nd Round Pick 3rd Place Predictor Prize = 4th Round Pick 4th Place Predictor Prize = 5th Round Pick
My Proposed New System:
Banner Contest Winner Prize = Bonus Keeper (Winner gets to keep 9 players at the end of the season instead of 8) 1st Place Predictor Prize = 1st Round Pick 2nd Place Predictor Prize = 2nd Round Pick 3rd Place Predictor Prize = 3rd Round Pick 4th Place Predictor Prize = 4th Round Pick 5th Place Predictor Prize = 5th Round Pick
I think the new system will result in more people entering the banner contest, which is what I'm looking for; it seems as though we get less and less entries for that each year.
Thoughts?

Banner idea is cool. I probably still won't take part in the predictor though.

The only thing is that Minny or Oilers usually win it and they already have a good team so likely their first player that they give up would have an equal value to a high 1st.
Personally I think it's good the way it is.

there are alote of guys trying to get better at these and I think both Minny and Edmonton have to be that much better each time. Most of us still vote for the underdog if they can get close.

we have Spitty and others here now also. Something like this would really help Spitty. He just needs to find the time. IN the winter that can be hard for him. I have tried acouple in my spare time, but they are horrible.

I also think that maybe we should make the banner vote anonymous, for reasons Jackets stated.
Lets say somebody really likes the banner Oilers makes, but knows Oilers is a solid team, so he votes for a banner he doesn't like as much, but knows it's from a weaker team. It isn't based on pure banner-like, its also based on WHO made the banner, which I think is an unfair thing to teams like Oilers and I.

Agreed.
Maybe have anyone entering a banner send it via PM to Pittsburgh, he'll make the poll without putting names on the banners, and we can have the vote.

That's what I was thinking, PM the banners to Pens

I don't think that's too much of an issue, but I'll do that if that's what you guys prefer.
For that to happen, you guys would need to send me your entries via PM I guess.
