Title: Poll (Draft Lottery % and Number of Playoff Teams)
Post by: Vik on July 28, 2021, 04:49:04 PM
I would like to get draft order up asap (ideally before end of this week) but to do so I think it is fair to 1st run by how I am planning to do it for this year, as well as future years if this full poll passes. Given we changed from 10 teams making playoffs down to 8 (for at least 1st season) and we use a lottery % for draft, we have to take into account 2 additional non playoff teams when doing lottery. This was simply overlooked at time of adjusting playoff format.


So, here is 2021 draft lottery proposal with % of getting 1st overall:

16th Place Team : 30%  (:MON-NHL: Montreal)
15th Place Team: 25%  (:ANA: Anaheim)
14th Place Team: 20%  (:VGK: Las Vegas)
13th Place Team: 10%   (:BOS-NHL: Boston)
12th Place Team: 6%   (:NYR: New York)
11th Place Team: 4%  (:SJ: San Jose)
10th Place Team: 3%  (:VAN: Vancouver)
9th Place Team: 2%  (:EDM: Edmonton)

8th Place Team: :TBL: Tampa will have 9th overall pick
7th Place Team: :CAR-NHL: Carolina will have 10th overall pick
6th Place Team: :PIT-NHL: Pittsburgh will have 11th overall pick
5th Place Team: :COL-NHL: Colorado will have 12th overall pick
4th Place Team: :MIN-NHL: Minnesota will have 13th overall pick
3rd Place Team: :TOR-NHL: Toronto will have 14th overall pick
2nd Place Team: :DET-NHL: Detroit will have 15th overall pick
1st Place Team: :NAS: Nashville will have 16th overall pick

For anyone seeing this before I just updated: Fixed 8 to 5 seeds showing incorrectly reversed originally


Notes:

1. Specific team seeds based on last season finish associated with % in brackets, but once I randomize true order will be know and then all traded picks will be applied as well.

2. Existing format on lottery is here where it is only 6 teams: https://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=371698.0

3. In the proposal, picks 9-16 are still based on playoff finish/regular season standing and aside from applying trades they are not going to change, only 1-8 might.

4. I considered various other options, but ultimately keeping % unchanged for seeds 16/15/14 seemed like way to go and therefore the adjustment is scaled across seeds 13-9.


I would also like to make 8 teams making playoffs permeate if there is support. Even with a full season worth of games I am thinking 50% making playoffs is way to go and will be better for league health

Original playoff rules are here (with 10 teams making it): https://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=371706.0

2020-21 playoff adjustment is here (with 8 teams making): https://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=376169.0


Voting yes to both means you are in favor of 8 teams and proposed lottery % format starting this year. Any questions or any other vote would appreciate a comment and we can get a health discussion going if needed.

Currently 8-2 in favor of full change so this passes.

I will be out of city a couple days, with just mobile access, but look for draft order to be posted Sunday or Monday.
