Assuming GMs have taken traded points among them to avoid any remainders above a mutliple of 11 (the cost of a new slot plus 1 point tondraft a player) an additional 318 players.xouks be drafted. With 7 points left over.

As for stealing loops, since the cost to steal goes up by at least one with every steal and there is a finite amount of points, eventually stealing becomes impossible. That could take awhile though.

If the first player were draft for one point, and stolen the maximum number if times, he could be stolen 3504 times. If I have this right, the second player could only be stolen 3503 times since one point is eliminates when he is selected. Thies player, 3502, and so on.

But that depends on GMs wanting to steal every time, and only for the minimum points. Frankly, if they do that, they deserve to suffer.

I think the number of steals would be less than 3000, but still way more than the league would realistically put up with for time reasons.
