Prize for FNHL Division Winners: Draft Pick

[DToxFan]

I support the awarding draft pick to Division winners. It makes it a little more interesting for competitive teams without watering down the prize pool.

I'm likely not getting any Division Champ award anytime soon. It's going to be good to award something to the Division Champs moving fwd. But like someone else said, don't dilute the prize pool until it goes north of a grand.

A draft pick awarded to each division winner seems reasonable. Perhaps sandwich them between the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Otherwise at the end of the 4th round seems good too.

I'd rather see the division winners get like a 5 point home ice advantage in the first round over the wildcards than draft picks but if you are going to do draft picks why not:

Presidents Trophy Winner-Pick between the first and second round
Next Highest Division Winner-Pick between the second and third round
Next Highest Division Winner-Pick between the third and fourth round
Weakest Div Winner- Pick at the end of the fourth round

I think this is a decent idea but would take lots of manual change on fantrax to make happen unless the commish pauses the draft at the right time and the pick is manually entered by the commish to remove the prospect from the draft player pool.

If we're voting and both agree awarding a draft pick to division winners is a good thing.

As BB said it can work manually with pauses to draft/remove prospect from the draft pool.
Is it too much? Maybe. Likely not.
I don't want to intro more work. My salary is the same, zero. LOL

Winning the Division means you're likely playing a weaker 1st Rd opponent so that's already a reward for Div champs. Unless you're the Pacific Div champ the past 2 seasons LOL
