Giving up draft picks are dumb.


one goaltender, five defensemen, and nine forwards or two goaltenders, three defensemen, and seven forwards.

Then the teams have to build the rest through the draft and inactives to start.

Teams would probably be able to protect too much with these numbers you suggested, that why I think the pick-thing would be a nice addition. The picks aren't really a big loss for the teams but could be a nice addition for the expansion squads and alsso face current rebuilders with some interesting decisions, or else they likely wouldn't have to give up anything and teams with lots of picks in the upcoming drafts would have a huge advantage over those that had lots of picks in the recent past, but integrated those players into their rosters already.

I really think the numbers would work well, the existing teams would lose 1-3 assets, the expansion teams would come out of the expansion draft with 12 assets + their GM + their picks in the upcoming draft to maybe not be a competitive team, but an active team right away.
