Let's also consider we're at the front end of a long draft, and that ultimately, the new GMs coming in will be dedicating hours upon hours to the rest of the team's life. Don't we owe that kind of prospective dedication the right to take on salaries and players they would like to have? Touche'

So the least loss happens with those fortunate enough to have been randomly selected highest.

My guess is we lose 5 Gms in the process.

So the least loss happens with those fortunate enough to have been randomly selected highest. I understand that ... but with all but two gms changing everyone would know who everyone else wanted ... is that really fair ?? I think we should keep as is and let the new gms either keep players or pick from the ones that havent been picked yet

Don't we owe that kind of prospective dedication the right to take on salaries and players they would like to have? Ian I understand what your saying. He only problem is we all know who each other want now.... Well I'll tell you what, Cody...I promise not to pick Jeff Skinner and Jamie Benn. Truth of the matter is, we're not at a point with the teams where such a core has been built that the ability of the GMs involved couldnt easily recuperate it like talent. You don't honestly believe that GMs are now going to select based on depriving one another do you? Aren't we here for a positive experience? The stratageies with all due respect to everyone involved, aren't as fully realized right now, where beginning a partial redraft affects the outright outcome. There is a distinct possibility that a GMs inability to navigate cap because of negligent operation could come back to haunt us. And it sets a nasty precedent. What a partial redraft does, it set things aright for a common leveled rink as it were. The opposite is to saddle two GMs coming in (one of which would like an opportunity to shape his team ) for the sake of two rounds at the beginning where an easy fix saves all. If theyre fine with the opposite, so be it...

I dont think he meant it like that for example as a oilers fan I wanted Hall, eberle and rnh badly but they went sooner than I thought maybe this time around if there was a redraft I would try to seek one of the 3 sooner ... and thats not to take from the other gms but cause I want them for me see what I mean bro ?

There's a time and place for everything.
If we were 10 rounds, 5 rounds in, I could see the strong opposition. But stating that if one group of GMs will has to be done or risk fruther damage while the league just found out a cheat, is poor timing, let's say.
At any rate, I'm sure John will resolve this quickly.
