This quote was the team that drafted him signing him to a contract and calling him up to the majors.
http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=51028.0How is this an acceptable loophole in a franchise league? No wonder the league is so slighted to a few teams. Because people can do things like this.This league should not be so cumbersome as to that, if you don't check in every single day your team is destroyed. Who wants to come to our league to pick up the pieces of this? We should not be able to snipe players from teams so easily. Gross
what situation/rule/strategy are you referring to? perhaps it's already been addressed by the previous commish? lmk
I am talking about the rule change to allow for people to take prospects who have reached 40 games. The players shouldnt be dropped as it really screws up the system and ruins teams with bad owners...only to help the teams which are profsl-pros and have all day to sit at the keyboard.Also, it might be different if we could see the stats and games played easily, i.e. if MiLR players were entered into fantrax...but this is not the case. Simply makes this league more work.to examples of this:http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=47045.0http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=47075.0
Whoa whoa whoa, joeshmoe, are you saying that once a player hits 40 games in the NHL and isn't signed to a contract/brought up to the NHL club, that they are automatically released into FA for everyone to bid on? That seems quite ridiculous...As joeshmoe said, not all of us can be on a computer to track when the 40th game is played, or even the 37-39th....

That seems quite ridiculous...As joeshmoe said, not all of us can be on a computer to track when the 40th game is played, or even the 37-39th....YES, usually if a player is putting up decent pionts than he would already be on the NHL club, aka RNH, Landeskog last year, Yakupv this year. Don't think their owners would let them sit in the minors when they're probably better than a lot of players on their NHL roster.But at the same time, 40 games is pretty tough to judge a rookie's value.Maybe it makes more sense, that once a prospect reaches 40 games, if he's NOT called up to the NHL team, he can't be called up for the rest of the season.THEN, at the end of the season (in our off-season), the owner has to decide whether they want to keep that prospect (sign to a contract and bring up), or release into the FA pool. Much like extensions would work, except it's also with prospects over 40 games played.Example: Alex Galchenyuk is relegated to a 3rd line role in Montreal with no powerplay time, but is still dressing every night. Barely is putting up any FanPoints. Once he hits 40 games, the owner does not want to bring him up because his/her team has a shot to win the title and doesn't want to burn a roster spot on a rookie that is not doing anything. You (PigsRule) let the owner hold on to Gally, but even if he gets promoted to the 1st line due to injury on the Habs in say game 60, he can't be called up to the NHL club.Once the season is over, the owner then must make a decision of whether or not to keep Gally. If they want him, they sign him to a contract (max 2 years at this point because he has technically burned his 1st year of contract eligibility) and have to bring him up to the NHL club. If they don't want him, they simple release him to FA (again, kind of the same process as an expiring contract - either you re-sign the player, or you release into FA).Probably a bad example of player choice, but maybe more of a realistic one than using Nail Yakupov, haha.I would propose that just because it's so hard to judge the value of rookies if they are not sure-fire players like Yakupov, Galchenyuk, etc. And being 18-20 year old rookies, most of them don't step into top line roles and score 50-70 points in their first season... Let alone their first 40 games in the big leagues. It takes time to adjust and time for the coaches to gain confidence in them.... Tough to do over just half a season.Sometimes you see rookies really come on in the 2nd half of the season, in the last 30 games or so, when they are more comfortable with everything.That's the time when a fantasy owner can more accurately judge where the guy will go in the future... I think anyways.Just my idea/thought on this matter.... If I have the situation joeshmoe brought right.
