MessageI also like the idea of adding more rounds or more picks. This would increase the rate at which I can cut the dead wood of my team smilie I think it has been two years now that I have wanted to cut Arnason but couldn't because I didn't have enough draft picks

MessageFYI - I am interested in adding picks. I have a couple of rule proposals on the docket - however I would like some clarity on the play-off pool thing first so we can get that going.

GM Neufeld - give us your votes so we can get some direction - maybe look at the banter board a page or so back so you can see what we're voting on.

MessageAnd it's "Parrotty" if Brown keeps saying the same thing over and over... <SQUAWK!> NO! <SQUAWK!> NO!

I like the idea of adding more picks to the preseason too. A fourth round rewards those with great scouting skills and that should be more essential to our pool.

<SQUAWK!> NO!

As far as playoffs... I had good momentum at the end of last year and now that those core players are gone, this year should be good for the same format smilie

MessageThere is a very important issue that we've been avoiding that I will now address.
It's "PARITY", not "PARODY".
Now that our spelling is in order, we can move forward with this discussion.

BTW, I really like the idea of adding another mid-season draft round. I'm also open to a fourth-round in the pre-season.

MessageLet's tackle one topic at a time.

We've got to figure out the play-off pool first before the play-offs begin.

We can talk about expansion after we figure that out.

Re: changing the pool order - not going to happen.

MessageThat is exactly the response regarding expansion I expected from Brown. I currently have Thomas, Theodore, Huet, Rinne, Bryzgalov, Roloson, and Quick down as starting goalies who are undrafted and who could be making significant contributions to an FHL team. They are also all far outplaying Toskola. A dcore of Gilbert, Keith, Edler, Quincey, Tyutin, and Kuba is something GM Neufeld would die for. There seems to be plenty of dpeth available Mr. Brown!

Message@ kernel -> zing!

i vote against anything that makes me feel uncomfortable.

i don't think interest in the pool is suffering at all.. kernel is the only mild concern, and it's only because he's been more interested than most and been kicked in the balls every year. so my point is that injecting interest into the pool isn't really the focus of the playoff pool change suggestions.

the primary focus should be to make the redraft as even a playing field as possible. after that, awarding creative incentives is simply good clean fun..

my view on the playoff pool is that it is an entirely seperate entity, so we should be liberal in our efforts to make it as even a playing field as possible. after that, modest incentives attached to the real FHL can be looked into.

i vote yes to everything i've said!

hat's off to the suggesters and the naysayers, let's keep brown's head spinning!

MessageOk I am going to respond to Dogg.

First of all with the wild card points for bracket guessing and the shortened roster, things get equalized pretty well as to who can win.

I kept the real value (1st round picks) in the same order as before.

Adding a 2nd round midseason draft round does way more to help the rebuilding teams than it does to help the top teams regardless of the order of the round. It will close the gap between rebuilding and top tier teams quicker than anything and should be the first thing we look if we are looking to improve parody.

As a last placed team I'm willing to give up the 9th pick overall to drop down as many as 7 spots if it improves the pool on the whole... which I think it does.

There is no full moon clause, my stuff makes way more logic than your argument. And shortening rosters doesn't help anything.
