But when overage AHL guys were signed, no one knew that the draft would be pushed to as late as it was.
It's still a move that is impacted by the NHL moving the draft so shouldn't it get similar treatment?
You do the research and beat other gm's to the punch, and value is obtained/lost on draft day.
I see the cost of acquiring picks argument, although to be fair a lot of the excess are 4th and 5th rounders in the hope you strike gold in the draft IMO.
