If you haven't heard already, Flames and the Lightning GMs were one in the same. Both teams have been vacated, so we must now find 2 replacement GMs.
The Boston GM has laid out all of our options, but I believe that a restart of the draft is the best option.
Here is a list of all the choices...
1. get two new GM's and have them take over the already picked players and continue picking
2. Get two new GM's and let them re-make their picks out of the available players as of right now
3. have Kovalchuk, Staal, Karlsson, and Sedin be put back in available players
4. have Kovalchuk, Staal, Karlsson, and Sedin be locked up until next years free agency draft
5. Restart the draft
6. Put Kovalchuk, Staal, Karlsson and Sedin into availablity to be drafted and go on with 18 GM's
7. Lock up Kovalchuk, Staal, Karlsson and Sedin until next years free agency draft and continue with 18 GM's
As Ian (Quebec) said, I strongly believe a partial restart is the best. Leave the first 8 picks as is (For time purposes, seeing as those picks wouldn't have been affected anyways) then draft form there with the same time slots. Let me know your opinions.

As I said, I am in favor of the partial redraft. I think we are still early enough in the league to minimize the effects and keep a competitive balance for the league. Also, the reason the draft was going so slow was because of those 2 teams for the most part. With 2 new committed GMs, I believe the draft will go at a faster pace.

No re draft. What do we mean by partial re-draft anyway? I do not want to re-draft unless I have a guarantee on my players I have chosen as they have been my first choice in all 3 rounds. I think that having the 2 GM's have a draft with players available along with players that were chosen between Flames and Lightning would be best. Would only have to be a 3 round draft. Could be done in a small period of time and we could get the draft moving right away and not miss a beat.

Partial redraft as in same draft order, but start from the 9th pick since the first 8 picks wouldnt have been effected anyways just to save some time.
I understand your concerns, but you have to see it from the new GMs positions as well. If we did it the way you chose, they would miss out on all those players from the first 2 rounds.

Partial redraft would be the best for the league, we may lose time but I think it's worth it.

The new GM's are coming in late and shouldn't expect us to restart for them.... The players available are pretty good (Karlsson, Kovalchuk, Staal, Henrik, Daniel, Gaborik, Getzlaf, Ryan, Chara, Edler, Yandle etc.) And are definitely 1st 2nd and 3rd round quality. I think it's only fair. It seems like the obvious decision.
They would not miss out on the players picked in the first two rounds, they just wouldn't get the variety we did. And I doubt they would expect it. And if they did then maybe they aren't the GM for this league, but I'd doubt that would be a problem.
I just feel this way we save so much time, everyone gets to keep there players that they've picked, and I'm sure the new GM's would adjust quickly and would be at no disadvantage.

I think re draft is silly at this point. No team is that screwed up on 3 rounds in. My votes for replace them with two new gms and continue on with our draft

Wow, I know the sentiment is not to redraft but those new owners might have picked differently the the owners they are replacing. Tough decision for sure.

The only bad pick was Iginla.....restart is unnecessary and takes away the fun and attachment all of us have to our layers already. The chips have been laid down and redrafting is not an option i see. It isn't like those teams go shiested......they are likely better off then most of the teams around here. lol

I honestly don't know how anyone is saying to restart. One team has kovalchuk, and e staal, the other has karlsson and h.sedin. Its not that bad lol. What's the big deal. Pause the draft get 2 new owners let the new lightning owner decide if he wants to keep iginala, if not he can take someone else. And have Calgary pick up in the 3rd round. problem solved

No way should we restart the draft. If you are gonna do that, you'd have to change the order, otherwise most of the picks would just end up being the same anyway.

After all Dan is much more valuable here and should have been drafted long ago...

One replacement GM has been found, waiting on one more. Hopefully we can get this started again. Keep voicing your opinions in here on what you would like to happen.

Tough Call, There are some unfair aspects to both decisions. I am in favor of not re-drafting if the two new GMs agree to that when they enter the league. What about offering the new GMs the choice of swapping their already drafted players for any available players?
