Going to start with a poll with whether to switch to a draft lottery format or keep the existing format based on record for the entry draft order. To be clear, this is for players drafted by NHL teams during the recent offseason entry draft. The following rule would be amended: Section VI. PM Entry Draft 6b. Draft order will be determined by the reverse standings of the previous season. Based on playoff results, the first-place finisher will receive the 12th pick, the second-place finisher will receive the 11th pick, and the third-place finisher will receive the 10th pick. Picks 1-9 will then be determined by overall record. If two teams finish with the same record, the team with fewer points will receive the higher pick.
This poll will not be about deciding which format to use (eg. a playoff format for the non-playoff teams, a random "lottery ball" system, etc.) We need a two-thirds majority to switch to a draft lottery before that can happen. So if we reach a two-thirds majority to switch to a lottery format, I will then create a second poll to decide which format to use. The format with the most votes will win. Please see the Rules Discussion thread below for more. You can also post comments to the link below - please don't post comments in this thread, as I would like to keep it strictly for voting. Thanks. pmpucks.proboards.com/thread/1942/draft-lottery

I vote for a lottery system among non playoff teams. We could do a weighted lottery system to 'help' the teams at the bottom more. But something needs to be done to keep people competitive during the season.

I prefer the playoff format to prevent tanking but maybe just the bottom four instead of all non-playoff teams

the format with the most votes to win is not a good system, unless you plan to do runoffs

With eight votes for, it looks like we have our necessary two-thirds majority for a draft lottery. I will post another poll shortly on the best system to use for this. In the meantime go ahead and share your ideas. What would you like to see? Not see?

For picking the draft lottery format, I was thinking about a final four mini tournament where I square off 4 different ideas, which I'd narrow this down to. The winners of each semi final would face each other in the final.
Eg. Semifinal A: Idea 1 vs Idea 2 Semifinal B: Idea 3 vs Idea 4 Final: Winner of Semifinal A vs winner of semifinal B
Everyone cool with that format? Other thoughts?

No I think it makes sense to do runoffs until we get some number that agree
Whats the downside?

I say let the bottom 6 play for their positioning. The two worst teams essentially get “byes” and play the winners of the other two games and move on accordingly.

Can you explain the scenario in more detail? pick a few ideas and have a threshold of votes to move into the next round. This way, the second best idea to most (which could be the best compromise idea) isn't defeated by a popular idea among a small group.
