Trading

[Tony]

I would be game for a waiver free in April if it was only call ups.

I am in favour of trading opening right now as it opens in the actual NHL right after playoffs are finished, due to processing in a fantasy, I think it should open 1 week after the playoffs have completed or due to exams that I write once they have calmed down. Which means they are fine to open asap.
I am not in favour of waivers opening due to my previously stated. What I would like to see though is a modified waiver period, you can call up anyone to your team and send down 1 player if wanted. That would allow someone to clear a bit of cap space in case of a trade or call someone out of the minors to their major league team before they bog up that space in FA as well. I remember in my application to the Philadelphia GM, reket23, before the season that his main goal was to call up Iggy during waiver free but he spent most of his cap during free agency and never called him up until nelly85 took over the team and finally got him up.

Here is my purposed:
Trading Opens - April 18th or 19th, 2012 @ 8:00am
Modified Waiver Free Period Opens - April 21st @ 8:00am
Modified Waiver Free Period Closes - April 27th @ 8:00pm
Trading Closes - May 31st, 2012 @ 11:59pm
Entry Draft (2012) - June 30th, 2012 @ 4:00pm
Offseason Free Agency Begins - July 15th, 2012 @ 8:00am
Trading Opens - July 22nd, 2012 @ 8:00am
Waivers Open - July 24th, 2012 @ 8:00am

Modified Waiver Free Period:
One player may be sent down through the normal waiver process.
Experienced minor leaguers may be called up through the waiver free process during the extent of the period.
The purpose of this is for teams to use their cap to call up players before spending it all in free agency.

Check back on this tomorrow but hopefully we can pass this and get trading open asap!

Totally  ....... I really like this Drew !!! You have clearly thought this through and I can see where bye it will help all the teams.......... If you give me cap space.......I will spend it on making a better team. Helps the whole league.

There will be no down movement in the waivers.

After reviewing the rosters I believe this should be an bring players up only period. This will just be another attempt for GMs to drop over paid players before free agency and increase their cap, exactly what I do not want.
