B. The defensive pool wasn’t that strong this year. That’ll change year to year but I think they made the right call by only having the two of them in the top 10. There are lots of talented defenders in the league but the forwards have been far stronger this season.

D. I actually don’t think there is an edge in goaltending. It was smart to take them back to back. If one team had let the other take both goalies then that would have been a problem. The defense is what’s going to make the biggest different. Both teams are stacked offensively and goalies are a wash so which teams defense will rise above the others?

I think the new draft format is a lot of fun. It allows for a good mix of players from all over the league to play together on one team. You don’t always get to play along side stars from opposing conferences so this is a great chance to do that. I don’t mind that a committee chooses the pool of players, it allows for less bias. I don’t think I agree that there should be more people from each team in the pool. I still think you need to have a solid number for players in the pool but it should be performance based. Some years there may be more from one team than another and that is okay. Last season cup finalists is a great idea tbh. They’ve earned the right by making it all the way to the final so why not let them have some fun the following season.
