I think we could still figure out a way to allow us to take flyers (ie what we would normally do in the draft) on young guys that don't deserve to be active but are still worth being selected (bid on).
I understand where Matt is coming from. I agree that it would be nice to be able to begin player development from the get-go. Is there any reason why we can't just extend the initial auction to include our D/S slots, allow for a specific number of rookies to be sent to the D/S immediately? I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it, but it might enhance hope for the future for those of us just getting our feet wet in IDP.
