On the re-rate issue:
*********************
I would propose a hard trade deadline, where absolutely NO player movement is allowed after the deadline, right up to the day of re-rating (which could then occur immediately following the championship game).
All the players on your 25 man PRO roster (it would be mandatory to fill your roster with 25 guys) would then be subject to re-rating.
The "hiding" of players from the re-rater could still happen, but with some risk. In conjunction with this, I would be in favor of some sort of minimum games played in order for a player to be eligible to suit up in the playoffs.
On the draft order:
*******************
I think the current system is fine, but I kind of like the playoff-based one as well. I also like the concept of basing the draft order on the actual "skill level" of the temas as of the end of the season (or as of the trade deadline, if we went with my proposal above). It has some merit, I believe.
Carry on.
