They're self-imposed parameters. Keeps it so that the range of variation factors in the player's perceived value/potential at the time of the draft.

Thread: NHL All-star game is a joke

Especially with the NHL not sending players to the Olympics and again postponing the World Cup of Hockey, I'd like them to bring back the North America v World roster format. Although I'm not sure in terms of optics they would (or even should) embrace that "divisive" framework related to nationality in the current geopolitical climate.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shibbal18</b></div><div>Scandella is playing 100% better than Miller rn, but yes him and Bogo are probably the first traded</div></div>

I'm not arguing who's playing better right now; I'm saying the team are shopping Scandella.
I'm sure they'd love to move Bogosian, but his cap hit combined with injury history make him harder to move than Scandella even though they're both expiring contracts.

The Sabres want to bring in a forward and ship out a defenseman, but it's Scandella on the block.

I don't know that he's there yet, though he might be by the time this hypothetical tournament would have taken place.
While Olofsson has one of the best shots in the NHL, right now Johansson has a better all-around game.

They're not holding the tournament so there's no way of knowing how they would have handled the rosters. I just used the format from the 2016 tourny.

Thread: 5 Brand New Questions

1. Besides Tampa, I think Montreal and Nashville are teams on the outside looking in right now that I think have the best chance to make the playoffs.
2. I could see Hall going to the NY islanders.
3. Draisaitl is a top 5 NHLer right now; but not top 2.
4. Babcock will get another head coaching job in the NHL. Peters may get a job in the NHL after a while, but not a head coaching gig.
5. The Wings will have a better record than the 2016-17 Avalanche.

Thread: 2015 (+ or - 10)

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>There’s no universe where aho doesn’t go up 10 spots. This allows that.</div></div>

Sure there is: this one I've laid out. Where Philly has to choose between...

Senyshyn
Svechnikov
Eriksson Ek
Samsonov
Juulsen
Larsson
Carlsson
Merkley
Roy
Stephens
Dermott

The only way Aho can jump 10 spots is for them to pick Senyshyn over 4 definitively better options, 5 that are questionable, and only 1 that would be an objectionably worse choice. There's no universe in which they'd do that.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bcarlo25</b></div><div>I understand the plus or minus ten puts some constraints on this, but you’re still willingly taking Travis Dermott over Carlo and aho.</div></div>

Since it's not possible to take Aho or Carlo at 24, you'd have to propose a better choice to replace Dermott there.

Eriksson Ek or Samsonov would be options, but I don't see a big difference between the defenseman and the forward, and while I think Samsonov will be the best of the 3 over time I think he needs more NHL games to take that spot.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>how can you say he still has elite potential though. He has 37 points in 139 games. Sure his usage varied and his playing partners varied but you still gotta produce a little bit better as the 6th overall pick. I dont see his elite potential.</div></div>

It could be an issue of organizational management, coaching, attitude, slow acclimation to North America...any number of things.
He's a 4th overall pick (nearly universally projected as the 3rd best prospect in the draft that year) only 3 years ago and he's still only 21 years old.
There's likely a plethora of coaches, GMs, owners (with the egos you need to have at this level) that believe they could "fix" him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hanson493</b></div><div>right but you dont give up good assets for a guy worth nothing to his own organization. especially when he flat out told the oilers he wasnt playing for them.</div></div>

I haven't really paid a lot of attention to the Armchair GMs to see what people were offering, but it was originally described above as "serviceable assets and decent picks" which sounds appropriate for a very young under-performing player with elite potential.

Some similar recent examples of struggling young players with high ceilings and what they fetched:
Dylan Strome (packaged with Perlini) for Nick Schmaltz
Domi for Galchenyuk
Alex Nylander for Jokiharju
Griffin Reinhart for 1st and 2nd
Grigorenko (packaged with others) for Ryan O'Reilly (packaged with Jamie McGinn)
Ryan Strome for Eberle
Baertschi for 2nd
