i personally think it should be like the NHL based on where you get eliminated in the playoffs

well I see the merits of both sides pretty equally... so I can only speak on a personal basis, and therefore would vote for regular season standings to determine draft order...

^ Agree, playoffs should have no bearing on draft seeding. It should be based on the regular season's standings.

thatd be like saying if an nhl team 8th seed wins the cup they can still have 16th pick not fair IMO

If just for this year anyway, then it can be voted upon. Weren't this years playoffs tainted with having rosters locked? Was there even a consolation round?

the consolation rosters were locked not the championship

well if you go on yahoo now with the league it updates itself based on where teams get eliminated

My point exactly, didn't the consolation round have an effect on the final standings? and with the rosters being locked those teams didn't get a fair chance. Anyway, we're a Democracy here and since there is a differing of opinions there should be a vote

Yeah, have to agree with Van on this one... in terms of this year's rankings, the locked consolation rosters skew the rankings, so I feel like we should go with regular season standings this year, and then vote for future years...

I have a solution that will satisfy both sides I think.
Since the argument is that rosters were locked for consolations, we shouldn't take the consolation results.
Instead, we just take the 4 teams that were eliminated in the 1st round of playoffs (before their rosters were locked) and then seed them based on how they did throughout the season.
So from what I see: SJ, CHI, BOS, and WPG got eliminated so they should have picks 13-16 with WPG picking 13, CHI picking 14, BOS picking 15, and SJ picking 16.
Then the next set of teams would be NYR, MTL, TOR, and CGY. Since they could still set their lineup at this point, the results from their semifinals will count so we're left with NYR and MTL with MTL finishing higher up in the season, so they would pick 18 and NYR would pick 17.
Then we would have the finals (and they too could set their lineups so their results should count), and we have TOR picking 19th, and CGY picking 20th..

^ which is so weird, because that's how CGY has the draft rankings done as of right now.
Even with their rosters locked, the higher seeded teams won in the consolations so that doesn't affect anything at all..

My feeling is the guy who wins the cup gets the last pick, in our case this was CGY. We should at least try to replicate what happens in the NHL.
I think what BUF has said makes total sense.

What I did when making my list was taking the teams that were eliminated per round and ranking them based on how many points they had in the regular season. Kind of a mix of both playoff seeding and regular season seeding.
EDIT: Buffalo and I used the same system....

Fantasy leagues aren't NHL though guys. Sim leagues, sure, but for fantasy it should be regular season. Guys can turn it on late and fluke out playoff victories, even teams that maybe shouldn't even be in the playoffs. It takes 1 player to have 1 big game to lead people away from looking at what happened the other 81 throughout the regular season.

I think the best way to handle the situation is how Mark layed it out. This way we acknowledge the final standings, my consolation mishap and the championship results.
