This would certainly be entertaining. It would be fun to see how teams actually feel about the top player and the various strategies that would come out from a system like this. In Bedard’s year, we might have seen all the teams put most of their points on bedard with Chicago taking him but spending all of their draft capital on him…
The rest of the teams would probably have also pushed in the points and bet big for the top five and then a little more strategic value plays after that. Probably by the end of the first couple of rounds, a couple of teams that saved points would get five guys in a row and the rest of the teams would be out of points and we’d end up with a standard draft from there… kind of like the end of auction leagues in fantasy sports.
Interesting thinking… and it would create a new front office job of draft strategist, but it’s way too different and a little too complicated to get sny traction. Fun though.
