First some history/context.
Up until last year, any prospects drafted in the NHL but not in the CPHL was a free agent and available "first come first serve" to any team. However, last year we tried to use this as a chance for some of the asset poor teams to add some assets. The way we did this was allowing only non playoff teams to take part. As we now know, this is a poor way to assess the asset base of an organization.

So this year we are going to leverage Hesla's asset summary and allow the following teams to select those players. Once again, it will be a snake draft. Once a team passes, they can't pick again. We are going deeper in this one to give more teams a chance to participate. There may be as few as one round. That's OK.

Questions:

Ottawa - PASS
Buffalo
T-bay
Detroit
Toronto
NYI
Montreal
Florida
CBJ
Wash
San Jose
NYR
Calgary
Chicago
Vancouver
Edmonton

If any of those teams don't want to participate you can bow out. Otherwise we can start drafting via this thread once the NHL draft is done.

Players will be added to ECHL rosters for 3 years, just like they were actually drafted.
