The only exact rule I can find is 10.3b
10.3 In the event of contraction, there shall be a dispersal draft conducted as follows: a. The draft will be conducted in reverse order of the LSHL regular season standings. b. Every asset currently owned by the contracted team(s) will be available for selection.
To me, upcoming draft picks are an asset currently owned by a team.
Ira also brought up the point that already traded picks would have to be kept in play. That further illustrates (to me) that these assets need to be kept, and not vanished.

The thing about this league though, is because we are so limited with the amount of tradeable draft picks we get (only allowed to trade one years worth of picks for most of the year) I wouldn't be surprised if no picks have been traded from the pending contracted teams. One of the main reasons why they're being contracted is based on the inactivity they've given to said teams.

when the rules and regs went through a big revision in 2010ish, the question of "what happens to the draft picks of these teams" came up. no one objected to this at the time it was placed there. If you read my comment your snarky response is in reference to, I think you will see I make my suggestion. Let me say it again, run the lottery again. But since you clearly have no interest in my suggestion, never mind. i'm not saying this to be a douche - what is the point of having a lottery if we are just going to re-run it if we don't like what comes out?

I wasn't in the league in 2010 so I wasn't able to comment. No biggie.

For what it's worth, I don't mind the team existing with the first overall draft pick. If having the option to select first overall draws another paying member into the league, that's something we should all encourage. HOWEVER, if said team is without an owner by the contraction date, their picks should vanish, as all their players would be dispersed to the contraction draft as well.
I'm also under the current assumption that the contraction draft will take place after the regular draft and be another random order (everyone gets an equal chance at first overall and we select from there. Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
