Official Entry Draft Discussion Thread

Remember, the EDR is at 10 players for this draft.  It does not expand to 15 players until the 2011 season.  Also, this draft, is still considered to be a part of the 2010 season, so your books have not closed.  You will need to clear the necessary cap space before a player is signed. 

Are we still allowed to make drops during the draft, or do all transactions need to be made before it starts?

Base salaries ($500k) do not count toward the salary cap; only signing bonuses count towards the cap.

If and only if the player fits on your EDR - if you chose to put some draft picks onto your 40-man roster (do not have room on your EDR), they are treated like any other prospect signed via FA.

1)  Yes, drops can be made whenever.
2)  Good point.  I am sure most know this, but we don't want GMs going by the letter of the law in this post and therefore misunderstanding the rules.

Is it possible to hold future drafts when the trade embarge is lifted? It would be fun to allow teams to trade up or down depending on how the draft is progressing.

While we are at it, can we get rid of trading deadline all together (or at least lift it as soon as the season is over?)

[Colby]

No more trading of draft picks AND trade deadline expires when the season is over (which is after the draft).

Wouldn't it be fun if teams have options of trading up and nab Taillon?

I agree it would be fun.  Howe, this is where I think Agents vs. GMs could use this functionality.  Consider that the league where we have the fun un-traditional rules in place.

Can we do this right now?

No, trading draft picks stopped at the trade deadline and is not allowed going forward.
