I was thinking of a roster contest.

Here's what I was thinking;

~Take the roster as it stands from PuckPedia on Thursday.
~The goal is to predict what the 23 man roster will be on opening night
~Deadline for submission is a day or two before the draft (minimize influence from rumours)
~Contestants get;
- 1 point for each player predicted to stay on the roster
- 3 points for each player predicted to be removed from the roster
- 5 points for each player named to be added to the roster

Winner gets a custom user title like '#1 Prognosticator' or 'Conroy's Twin' or maybe winners choice. Someone will have a better idea

I have only put as much thought into this as I've written above. Haven't thought about the mechanics of it and the best way to set it up to make the point calculations simple and accurate at the end. I'm just throwing it out there for someone to run with if it's something people feel they would have fun with. I wouldn't be able to spend enough time on something like this to do it well.
