This is a reasonable set of rules based on what was discussed.

Now Evok needs to tell us what her team is going to look like. :eyes:

Wait, so the two expansion teams will only have 5 picks each? That seems to be quite low.

The thought is they should be able to get at least 10 in the next draft, then fill the rest with IFA until the following draft.

I feel like this puts an undue burden on the expansion teams, and will limit their competitiveness in the first few seasons.

5 players - which, let's be honest, aren't going to be necessarily the best players from the current teams as those will be protected - plus 10 brand new 155 rookies, and then IFA players which they're going to have to bid against established teams to gain their services. This is a hard road to climb for the expansion GMs and seems to be an unnecessarily imposed handicap.

Speaking as one of the first draft picks and former GM of Anaheim. We built a championship team in 3 seasons based on our drafting. The SMJHL has a fast turnaround for being able to be competitive, outside of sim luck. All it takes are 2 really good drafts to build up a great team. The expansion draft is meant to give them a small start to an active LR but it not meant to make them a championship team out of the gate.
