I wanted to make sure we were beyond the current draft before putting this idea out there. The question I wanted to pose to the group and brainstorm a bit on whether it is of value to the league is the following:
Should we allow the sale of draft lists on the open market? Besides the draft list, there are potential other data sources that could also be sold or created to be sold.
As for draft lists, do they have value? Most people do not share them with others, it is a secret sauce. One drawback to this idea that I can think of right away would be a concern that someone would share the list after purchase. For example, I buy Peters pitching list only to share it with Hokey, would be a dick move - not sure how realistic this scenario would be.
Thoughts?

I'm personally not a fan. I think this has the potential to create a bunch of headaches for both Andy and the league in general, and I don't really see the benefit. Draft lists tend to be secret for a reason. Everyone should be focusing on using their own list to improve their team, not selling it off to make a buck.

No. People can already share draft lists/other info with people through PMs on the board or DMs on Discord. If you want to do that, go for it. But, I think this would be a bad look to make that information to be able to be sold for profit.

Unless otherwise heard, the nay's are going to have it on this topic. I plan on closing out the discussion this weekend.
