Yeah it's a strange draft. Usually we just have a bunch of filler and thus a third round. But usually it's only like 12 actives deep anyway. This draft should still provide enough actives, just looks worse without the filler.
I am proud to say I understood this without the translated versions.
I shall gladly oversee the first decade of Munk's reign, thank you for your offer. Higgins shall be our pet.
This season has been particularly bad in terms of bad teams because S44 draft is so shallow so far and most send-downs are gone now. Though another contraction might be the best option I'd like to see how 8 teams do with more players.
