Can this draft ever end?
The points never get spent accept when buying a player from the NHL. So you spend 1 point on a player and you want to get him stolen for more so you can rack up picks to go after the number 1 pick. The strategy would be to be to accumulate the most points and then fill your draft slots with your actual targets. This becomes very clunky and I’m not sure if you ever actually run out of points.
I like the concept though. I would adjust it to either an auction or a blind bid. Same point system as you describe but teams nominate a player to be auctioned and then teams bid on the player and the high bid takes the player.
Do you spend all your points to get a top prospect or is 7 20 pointers better after people blue entire drafts in the top 5 picks.
Or a blind bid for each player with your points and the high bid taking it. The you have all kinds of game theory for how to maximize your point usage.
