Small Draft Tweak

[New Jersey Devils GM]

Okay, that could work for season turnarounds. But that's not very often.

Because there is no gain, where's the gain?

Instead of me losing 84,84,83,82,81 I can lose a different 81 or if people go full retard I could lose a 79 and keep a 81. Where is there a gain, the only thing that will come from this is in the later rounds people will choose who like like, say someone really liked Henrique, he gets drafted and I keep Leino instead of Henrique. Wow, that's a game changer.

It's pointless.

I'm curious as to why you're so gungho about it. It just seems like more work for literally no gain.

Because I don't build my teams on overalls. It's that simple. Every player I had interest in is in the black right now, and those teams could keep some of their 80s, and i could get some of those lower guys. It's about roles, more than numbers.

That is how I won my Cup here in season 2, and how I have won cups on other sites. Maybe it's "different", but I don't think we should force people to only build their teams one way.

(cook often builds his team unconventionally on other sites, for another non-me example)

Have you tried getting some of these guys that are in black? I mean, I imagine some people are going to be more willing to trade away these guys in black more easily than a keeper..

Yes, I have. But the draft is supposed to be a way for people to build their teams without giving stuff up. The crappy teams pick early, so they have more options on who they draft. That's really all I am proposing with this suggestion.
