I'm proposing a change to how we choose which players are used for the draft. It was an idea that was brought up to me by a couple GMs awhile ago. This new way wouldn't come into affect until season five so it wouldn't affect the current NHL/ECFHL draft class.
Instead of drafting the first three NHL rounds one ECFHL season and then the last four NHL rounds the following season, I'm proposing the following change:
In ECFHL odd draft years, We use the odd numbered players drafted in the NHL (For example: 1st overall, 3rd, etc)
In ECFHL even number years, we use the even numbered players drafted in the NHL (For example: 2nd overall, 4th, etc).
This change will make the draft a little bit less of a crapshoot because people will have better knowledge of who's available each draft and what their ratings will be.
Thoughts?

Why not draft every other season and average the 2 seasons for the standings for the draft.

Im down with Nicks idea. Drafting every other year is a bad idea.

I was thinking alternating picks. Drafting every other year is a horrible idea and cripples teams looking to rebuild.

I'm good with Nick's idea - the process of having to keep up with the 2nd classes' ecfhl ratings vs. their HF ratings is a pain in the ass for tom and anyone activating their prospects from that draft.

Was really surprised when I checked the last draft and didn't even recognized the guys. I am for the new idea.

Pens are all for Nicks idea with the new ECFHL draft. Need to keep the value for the draft picks in all ECFHL draft years.
