I was looking at the available cap room for all the teams and I noticed the teams with the most cap room have between 20 and 30 mil to spend. I think 10 rounds of a contraction draft will be hard for most teams to fit players under their cap. I think 5 or 6 rounds would be more realistic to fit under the cap. If you figure a team with 20m in cap space with 10 rounds can pay an average of 2m per player in the draft. While it can be done its not likely for all teams to afford the players. I'm not saying I have the perfect solution but what is everyone's thoughts on this?

I think Robo said you can stop drafting in any round you want, but you can also draft rookies from this years draft that perhaps another team didn't add to their team. So between rookies, that add very little to the cap, and NHL players I think 10 rounds is good. Especially since a few teams will have many roster spots to fill, like myself.

Right. I expect a lot of teams will get what they need for their NHL team in the early rounds then feast on prospects. There's a huge available player pool with 10 contracted teams. Teams with 20-30m to spend should have no problem going 10 rounds, if they need to.

I also think 10 rounds is good. I view later rounds as an opportunity to pick of sleepers, breakout players, and rookies. Although I am on of the teams with more cap space currently. There will be trading during the draft correct? Teams will be able to trade picks, free cap space, and make moves. If people decide there is a salary cap issue, I would suggest a raise to 74 or 75 mil, bringing the league to be 10 mil above the current NHL salary cap. If we increase the cap too much, then there isn't really a point to having a cap at all.

Yup there will be trading during the draft. Brian and I had originally thought of using a $75m cap but since we reduced the price of prospects so much I thought shaving $5m off the cap made sense.
