Problem is it makes more sense to attempt that rather than an draft an inactive.

If you are trying to steal a first round caliber talent in the third round by trying to pressure the league into letting him fall then you certainly don't deserve anyones sympathy for your situation.

At the same junctre though, it might be unfair to give a team all the power. If someone is truly not happy where they are drafted, having to wait three seasons is forever in SHL time. Granted it stops this co-GM issue, but it may create some more tension down the line. Just my two cents.

Give me some credit, everyone.

This should be the same thing here for New England. It's kind of an Eric Lindros situation and we could see a trade that's similar.

I think there is a big difference between not wanting to play for a one team or a few teams (which is understandable) and ONLY wanting to play for one specific team.

Maybe it wasn't you who said this then but I've heard this kind of argument out of NEW quite a bit when reading through this thread.

Also, pretty much everyone on your team thinks that if someone picks him then they're making a douchebag move, but why would 11 other teams let a first round caliber player fall for free? It's not a bad move because Storm's pretty much an interim assistant general manager.
EDIT: Whether he was a top ten pick or not there isn't going to be an active player that you can take at 29th overall. There may be a barely active player that's under 200 TPE.

Never have we said we expect me to fall to the 3rd round.

Inb4 NEW trades future 1st for Storm
- RomanesEuntDomus - 05-29-2015
I mean the easiest solution would be to just trade a future 2nd for a 2nd this year...

This is great and all, but why don't we wait until New England is out of the playoffs and can focus on how they're going to move their assets in the offseason. If they then fail to move for a pick above theirs, then the debate can continue.
But at this time, everyone is arguing over a hypothetical situation that in a week, may not even matter at all. So why not make better use of our time and do something while we wait to see how it plays out?

Also, I understand how the draft works everyone, it's cool. You don't have to explain that good prospects get picked higher than inactives.
