These guys use amazing scouting and development to constantly find and churn out extreamly solid prospect talent... some of the best have been late picks or undrafted players.

As much as I like the idea of the draft tourny, someone mentioned logistics of players getting paid, how for what, ect... I dont know if you notice we are in a CBA battle at the moment... for this to happen... it would need to be negociated and laid out in the CBA also with its own section to be written in... Now it can be added on quite easily and not bargined the way the current stuff is now...

Also upon reading the CBA features of the low key stuff... I notice the players have a real interest on days off, less intencity days, travel/boarding costs ect ect ect... not to mention for years we have been talking about reductions to Pre-season, Post seasons being to long and the general idea of 80 games being too long... Now you gusy are discussing adding more games for teams that got the shit kicked out of them for 7 months... Most of those players would want to be forgetting the season, and moving on to recouperate and get on with thier summers...

I just don't see the idea working no matter how well its planned out here...

But yes if it did happen, I would deffinatly be watching it!
