When we came up with the new one, we adjusted all of the original rookie salaries. I didn't do the work, but I don't think it was all that hard to do.
As for determining a fair order, I really think that if the first two rounds are serpentine, and the 3rd round on is the exact same order as the second round (ie, whoever gets the first pick, picks last in every other round), it balances out. Especially if everyone (read, unanimous) accepts this going in.
I really think it could work.
Edited to add, I could probably have a revised rookie salary scale by the end of the day, with two additional rounds.

show us what you got when you get some numbers. Like Freedom stated, having something actually written is a lot different than just talking about it.
I think if Preds sees the numbers, he might be swayed. I would also like to see the numbers. I would
prefer draft, but if it's too much work, then I'm fine with putting rookies with everyone else this year in the auction.
