Prize for FNHL Division Winners: Draft Pick

[jackdaniels]

Just a thought but what about an extra draft pick or supplemental pick for the Division winners in the future? Add those to the end of the draft. Gives the winners a little something extra.

That could be something that works. Let's see if other gents want to put it to a vote.

I would say Supplemental pick would be the call here. As a GM who values draft picks, i believe the entry draft pick is far more valuable. Now the Supplemental pick could be a faster turn around to the FNHL roster.

I like the idea of the last 4 picks in the draft going to the division winners. Those picks are not valuable enough to change anything, and gives the teams that put in work during the season a reward, as only 1 team gets the real reward right now. Drafting a lotto ticket may not be a great reward, but its something.

Do you mean the four division winners being given one extra pick at the end of round 4? I would be on board for that. I would also support a supplemental pick in the center of the supp draft, or at the end.

I support this idea of awarding a draft pick to Division winners. It is a small recognition but one that notes an owner's season-long accomplishment.

My preference would be for a draft pick to be used at the end of the Entry Draft for a player that is first year eligible or a prospect with some games played. There is more value in that type of pick and the timing would work well.

Great idea! As long as there's a pick to be had, I'm in!!!

I went through a past 4th round of a draft (2012) and found that 1/3 of the players to be useful assets. That may be an outliner(?), but I like the end of the 4th round. On top of that, there is a history of late picks working out (Zetterburg/Datsyuk/Hornqvist to name a few).

[PsychoticPondGoons]

I like the suggestion as well.

Gents in FNHL know their prospects and can find some gems making these newly awarded picks valuable. Some owners are like pro-level GMs and Directors of Player Development here.

Keep the comments coming gents!

Agree!
