Yea totally hate no having draft picks but previous owner traded most of them away so I'll have to look elsware in signing vets for the next few years. Illbe doing my awards on wensday when I'm off from work.

There's still time to acquire picks for the upcoming draft.  Pro tip:  Get them in the extension period - don't wait until the draft or else you will pay WAY more.  Once all these guys get excited about the draft you will have to pay an arm and a leg to get picks from them!

-The Gordie Howe Award (most active on the board): My vote goes to with in 2nd place

-The Ken Holland Award (most outstanding GM) - for most wins

-The Wayne Gretzky Award (team w/ best centers) 

-The Brendan Shanahan Award (team w/ best left wings)

-The Jaromir Jagr Award (team w/ best right wings)

-The Bobby Orr Award (team w/ best defensemen)

-The Dominik Hasek Award (team w/ best goalies)

-The Bad Juju Award (most unluckiest team) . Even if they won the season their 2 top goalies (Murray/Price) were injured for many games. With them in the line-up they would probably have won with a league record in wins. could also be considered as unluckiest as they have the most FTPs but they finished 2nd. (and they are losing in the first round - however this does not count for the award  )

If I vote bad juju to a team/GM that wont even be around to hear me trash on them , did I really trash them?

-The Gordie Howe Award (most active on the board) - Can't turn the corner without seeing his name somewhere. I should doc him points for changing his name, but I'll let that one slide.

-The Ken Holland Award (most outstanding GM) Hard to argue with that.

-The Wayne Gretzky Award (team w/ best centers) -

As it is now, tanking is not expressly against the rules. Nor for that matter is inactivity. Which then is the greater impropriety? The actions of a GM that works day in and day out to improve his team and raise the over-all level of competition? Or those of the absentee landlords that let their franchise flounder and fail to engage with the league in any meaningful way?

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it did it make a sound?

Solid points, and I’d rather see an active GM tank, versus a team who doesn’t set their lines but has solid players get a higher draft pick as a result.
AZ needs the most help I think out of most franchises. If NYR was more proactive trading, that roster could be good.

A good tanking job is good for the league.  The latter "absentee" GM's are the reason we need competent re-builders.  And the rules should be shaped to benefit these teams to put them back on the competitive map and ensure league balance.
