That rule if it existed still wouldn't be relevant with Hardy since, well we all know he is meant to be going, but word is he'll linger for a short while, point is he isn't going to be officially inactive by the drafts end anyway, and considering he may be having a very short break, dropping him may not have much upside anyway.

... I tried my damndest to ensure that my post didn't read like I was proposing it in order to aid myself !! As I said, forget Hardy.

The situation merely made me think of something that could be written into the rules for future games, and merely used my **** up to illustrate it. Because being in the situation the I outlined (forget Hardy and forget that he might be coming back!) would pretty much write you out of the game before it had even begun!

I know that's the same if your number one pick gets injured a week or two in, but I think that it would merit a rule change in the event of the game not having even started yet...

I just got thinking is all.

Aye I realised that I was merely using him to illustrate the main issues and grey areas with such a rule. 

Often absences/injuries are up in the air, you don't know how long someone will be out for.

Its also the extremes of the benefits of it.  Primarily it doesn't mean a thing, getting a 6th pick as a free replacement considering who will be left is... (although when we start relegating people to the "B League"  )

....the other extreme being if Goldberg debuted @ Summerslam and said person with injured guy could just pick him up, come monday D would do his best Ken Shamrock impression...
