Title: Rookie Draft Information
Post by: WestCoastExpress on September 26, 2020, 05:40:16 PM
Basic Draft Rules:

Any player with fewer than 31 games is eligible to be drafted
Clarification: Any player eligible to be on an NHL Roster (No players who are still eligible for upcoming NHL Entry Drafts can be drafted in PDH)


Determining Draft Order:
The first 8 picks (non-playoff teams) in the PDH Rookie Draft will be determined by a weighted draft lottery
The draft weights will be as follows:
16th Place Team : 30%
15th Place Team: 25% 
14th Place Team: 20%
13th Place Team: 10%
12th Place Team: 6%
11th Place Team: 4%
10th Place Team: 3%
9th Place Team: 2% 

The remaining 8 picks will be determined as teams exit the playoff rounds:
(Wildcard Round losers receive picks 10 and 9; Round 2 losers receive picks 8, 7, 6 and 5, etc.)
The team with the worst record in the regular season standings gets the higher pick for each round of playoff elimination

One of these sites will be used for the lottery randomizer (both sites are the same thing):

A screenshot will be posted to reveal the draft order


We will use a 12-hour clock for Rounds 1 and 2
Example: So if the draft starts at 10am EST, the first GM has until 10pm EST to make their selection. Once that pick is made, the 12-hour clock starts for the next GM  - If pick 1 is made at 11:30am EST, the next GM has until 11:30pm EST to make their selection

We will use a 6-hour clock for Rounds 3 to 7

Clock Stoppage Overnight:
We will stop the 12-hour and 6-hour clock from running through the night - we all have lives, families, etc here.
From 12:00am EST to 6:00am EST we will not count those 6 hours towards the draft pick clock

...It's not that you can't make your pick during that time, it's more-so a 6-hour freeze that doesn't count towards your 'OTC' time

Once your pick is made, it would be a nice courtesy to Personal Message the next GM in line (or next 2-3 even) to let them know they are OTC
We will send out a mass PM to the league when the draft starts - perhaps just "Reply All" to that PM once your pick is made, then everyone in the league knows where the draft is at

If you miss a pick or the clock runs out on your pick:
Your pick will be skipped
You may make up your pick at any time before the end of the draft concludes


Rookie Salaries:
Based on which round they were selected in the PDH Rookie Draft:

Round 1: $0.9m per year
Round 2: $0.9m per year
Round 3: $0.8m per year
Round 4: $0.8m per year
Round 5: $0.6m per year
Round 6: $0.6m per year
Round 7: $0.5m per year

All rookies will be assigned a Rookie Contract (R) and be placed on your Minor League Roster
