MY question is if there is a draft lockout how will we decide draft postition. I say this because teams like edmonton are no stronger if they get given number 1 it be unfair but teams signifcantly weaker like me and ducks would be upset with a mid round pick which we wouldn't get if the season was on. I REALLY hope there is no lockout but if there is how would we approach this dilema? We could do it based on salary because the better teams tend to be closer to the cap then weaker teams. Thoughts?

There won't be a lockout and if their is it wont last more than a month. We will address the situation if it arises. I like your suggestion regarding the cap

Random would be most fair

yeah but I'd be severely pissed if I got 30th overall and say sens or wild got first overall. How would that be fair. in the nhl they make a lottery based off the past few years. But teams being so different it would be hard to incorporate that

Do you guys know how the people sometimes Sim NHL season, playoffs, drafts etc using EASPORTS? Well I vote we input the rosters in someone's NHL12 game and sim the season, using the results of the Sim for the draft order. I think this I'd the most fair option. Believe me I wouldn't mind the #1 overall pick but teams in rebuild are much more likely to get the pick in this scenario, as they should had the NHL not have a potential lockout.

I agree with sens about simming the season. I doubt that there is going to be a lockout and hope I'm right, but if there is we should sim it. Who has NHL12 and should we vote about it. If we do I vote Yes. Who knows, maybe I'll get the first pick.

We could wait till the end of the year to sim. It wouldn't be perfect though... (Brule=82, Hall and Eberle=82 in player rater)

The problem with NHL 12 or 13 is that it's the EA game developers bias, not ours. The problem with Salary Cap is that some teams have awful contracts, especially me. I think what we should do is have 20 teams vote on best to worst of the teams 1-30, to fix biases you couldn't vote yourself into the bottom 5.
20 teams cause even that many will probably take at least a week.

the suggestion that both myself and Pens GM endorse is voting on who would have had the best season for a draft position at #30. Then vote on the second best team for a #29 rank and so on.
This way you get a consensus from all GM's and is specifically voted on the rosters at hand with no uncontrollable variances.
I think you start with a consensus top 5 teams chosen by Hawks and Pens to start the poll. Not all 30 at once. After the first poll to determine rank #30, when you vote, you suggest the next team to enter the poll. Whichever consensus team that was picked to enter the poll enters the next poll for poll #2. You continue this trend until you determine the consensus #1 overall pick.
If you are not familiar with this format, refer to HF Boards under the prospects thread in any Teams forum where fans determine who the top 20 or so prospects are in their teams system.

The chances of a full season lockout are so slim. It's nice to pass the time with discussion but in my opinion this isn't even worth discussing until December at the earliest.

We should at least have a plan in place so that at the end of the year, if there is a lockout, we know what to do. And also, we wouldn't actually vote until after the season, in the NHL playoffs. It's starting to look like a lockout is looming unfortunately.
