  1. Im just sick of threads that go nowhere but divide people.

     

    x2. def agree.. i thought we were all here to brag and exploit our common interest of landing lunkers! ...or in my case, day dreaming about it anyway! :Gonefishing:

     

    There have been some solid fishing reports lately (have to admit, i've been enthralled with the 56" musky caught by Mike Rousseau - time to move on to wahoo, marlin and tuna?) , lets keep em coming! :clapping: (I would contribute but I recently moved to Edmonton, I catch more shopping carts than fish :wallbash: - on another note, any tips for the Edm area would be appreciated haha!)

  2. I have issues with teams 'tanking" so they can get a better draft pick. Why should teams be rewarded because they played poorly on purpose? Why should a team that just misses the playoffs and worked hard to get there be punished with a 14th or 13th pick? To listen to Leaf fans getting upset because the Leafs played well and they won a game but would loose a better chance at a number 1 pick is just sacrilegious when using the word "pro". And they charge admission to this type of entertainment?

     

    No matter what system would be used somebody would complain.

     

    My neighbour (an avid Toronto fan) had a good suggestion. The top 16 teams that make the playoffs continue with draft picks 15-30, BUT the bottom 14 teams would get rewarded for playing to win (that's what professionals are supposed to do) by awarding the draft picks 1 to 14 to teams finishing 17 to 30. In other words the top pick would go to the team that just missed the playoffs or 17th. The 2nd pick would go to the 18th team and so on. . That way ever game has meaning and value even if a team misses the playoffs. The 30th team would get the 14th pick. This would encourage all the lower teams to play to win at the end of the season and tanking would almost become a non-issue.

     

    Just an idea.

    Isn't this what Shane Doan proposed the other day? He said his son, who is a die hard Coyotes fan, was cheering for them to lose and it was pretty upsetting for him.
