Rule proposal 2 - Prospect dropping time
All prospects being dropped from a Team’s Prospects List must be announced and dropped EITHER prior to the start of the Entry Draft, or after the conclusion of the Entry Draft, and prior to the start of the Prospect Draft. No prospect, regardless of when selected, can be dropped during the Entry Draft, or dropped once the Prospect Draft has started (i.e. once the first overall pick has been made)

In other words, you CAN drop a prospect before the ED, but you don't have to. You CANNOT drop a prospect DURING the ED. You can drop between ED and PrD, but NOT once the PrD has begun (ie can't decide in round 4 that there's a guy out there you like better than a prospect you kept, and drop the kept guy in the middle f round 4.
Makes sense to me
Makes sense to me too.
Can't we make this a lot neater and say;
" After the ED is completed, a half hour will be given after which each team must submit a list of prospects they are not retaining the services of, and confirm which ones they are keeping. Once the prospect draft commences with the first pick, no further cuts can be made."
I also don't get why we want to ban people dropping prospects during the ED. Is that a feature? I don't understand why anyone would want to drop prospects during the ED either. Is this an
The whole thing seems torturously worded, but I don't think I dispute the intent.
Actually it is relevant. What if I have an aneurysm in round 15 and drop a P2 like Svatos - Suddenly he is available to the next GM drafting. True, I'd be insane to do it, but the point is, if a guy is going to be made available for the ED, it should fair to everyone thus dropped before the ED starts. I don't forsee anyone doing this, but with Purinton on the books as a prospect, anything's possible
I guess my question is;
'Why have a rule to prevent someone from doing something, that nobody has ever done'?
Sure I get your point, its not fair to drop Svatos in the 21st rnd, but has that ever happened in the ED? I can't think of a single applicable situation that this rule would address.
Actually, the delay comes not from waiting for the next in line to pick, but rather cycling through the entire PrD order from 1-12 offering the newly available player to each GM in sequence before the next pick is allowed to proceed. THAT slows things down...
