Your argument that you can't 3 up them all is not true as BDL 1st-3rd rounders can end up as RL 1st rounders and have 5th year options which we can use as well. So using that as a reason is false advertising. Should have said first five sorry. Yes let's penalize those who draft well so free agency can be better for those who don't! False advertising!

bcb1213 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Also not a single person missed his pick in the last draft so you can stop spinning that disinterested missing picks argument Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only bid on them and then the owner can take that deal you made or take a draft pick. Yeah that's what I meant. I was talking about it in the cards too as though it were a trade wow it's not really a trade its inability to make a decision as to whether or not you want the draft pick or the player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockey5djh Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I'm with bcb. I'm against this feigned "cleaning up of contracts" that's being put out there. It would effectively eliminate RFA and also make free agency more important than the draft as drafts classes would all hit the same year. The staggered effect makes RFA at least interesting and if this is trying to mimic an NFL team you shouldn't be building a team through FA anyway.

Contracts for players taken in the fifth round of the BDL draft would be increased to 4 years. 16c. PFA occurs in the same way as the regular BDL draft in that selections are made individually, not in a block. 16d. PFA selections can be traded. 16e. PFA selections the following year can be traded. 16f. PFA selections can be traded from ___ to ___. I'd add 16g (or maybe 17) Draft is 6+3 instead of 7+2.

From beginning of BDL draft part 1 to end of BDL. Reasoning for F (since I don't think I covered that in previous posts): I like the idea of trading them to move up in the draft but I don't like the idea of trading PFA for future year considerations (will drag out the draft IMO) or at the trade deadline. I think PFAs should be restricted to "draft day" collateral only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TedLavie Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Ok I'm having a crappy morning and I don't want to start recapping all options for item 6 now. So we will start with item 15 @Hockey5djh @bcb1213 and others. The argument of "everyone will come on FA at the same time" is not a good one. You will have the same number of players hitting FA except for the first year. Only difference is it will be from the same draft class instead of spread out class. Today a 2018 2nd and a 2017 1st are hitting FA at the same time. Tomorrow it could be 2029 1sts and 2nds at the same time. I still disagree with round 5th and onwards @SirA1. You talk about David Carr and David Johnson but that's actually the beauty of it. You take shots. Sometime it works others it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MD4L Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I fully oppose shortening the draft in favor of any PFA post draft activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
