Our solution for the post-draft waiver frenzy over unselected prospects for this year, like it was last year, will be a combination of a list draft via the waiver order.
The concept is very simple, every team wishing to participate (participation is not mandatory) must send a moderator (Andre Deblois for this season) a list of all the remaining undrafted prospects they wish claim, prioritized starting from 1 to however many. Once the deadline has passed Andre will compare all the lists against one another and, according to the waiver order (order of finish from last season, 30th overall to 1st overall) start assigning prospects to teams, one at a time. Once all participating teams have had the opportunity to select once, Andre shall restart the process for a second round, and repeat until there are no prospects left on any list.
Here's a small scale model of how it would work:
Team A list: 1. Gretzky, 2. Lemieux, 3. Fuhr, 4. Hull, 5. Lecavalier, 6. Richard, 7. Murphy
Team B list: 1. Gretzky, 2. Hull, 3. Bossy, 4. Fuhr, 5. Coffey, 6. Lemieux
Team C list: 1. Hull, 2. Gretzky, 3. Lemieux
Team D list: 1. Gretzky, 2. Hull
Round 1
Team A picks Gretzky with the first pick.
With Gretzky off the board, Team B gets Hull.
With Hull and Gretzky off the board, Team C gets Lemieux.
With Gretzky and Hull off the board, Team D’s list is empty, they are skipped for the remainder of the draft
Round 2
In the next round, Team A gets their highest ranked remaining player, Fuhr.
Team B gets Bossy
Team C’s list is empty, they are skipped for the remainder of the draft.
Round 3
Team A gets Lecavalier, Team B gets Coffey.
Round 4
Team A gets Richard, Team B’s list is empty, they are skipped for the remainder of the draft.
Round 5
Team A gets Murphy, and the draft ends as there are no longer any prospects left.
This is essentially a way for us to extend the draft by however many rounds are needed to ensure that all desired prospects are selected, only done instantaneously via list rather then waiting X number of hours for each other to pick.
Here are a couple of additional rules:
No team will be permitted to go above the 20 prospect limit at any point in this process. You will need to create space on your list by either dropping or creating players prior to deadline to submit your list. However, we will be offering you the possibility of submitting a prioritized drop list along with your claim list. In this case, those players will only be dropped if your claim(s) is successful. For every successful claim, a drop will be announced according to your prioritized drop list.
All players dropped ahead of or immediately following the post draft waiver solution will be subject to regular prospect claim rules, first come first serve, but any claim putting a team above the 20 prospect limit must be accompanied by an immediate drop or creation to make space or the claim will not be considered successful.
Your lists should be submitted to Andre following a format similar to this:
Team Name
# of Prospects on prospect list
Claim List:
Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5
Drop List:
Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5
All lists must be sent in to the Andre Deblois by midnight EST on Thursday July 20th. Results will be published no later then midnight EST on Friday July 21st.
If you have any questions, please post them in this thread and the staff will do their best to answer them.
After the completion of the waiver draft, prospect claims will then be re-opened to the league.
