Interesting thing...Rask is on a leave of absence. Don't think this has ever come up before, for us anyway. Can I place him on IR? Don't figure it would be fair that he continue to count against my active roster.
A) IR Spots and QualificationEach team will have 3 IR spots to place players that will injured. They must be injured for 10 games or 4 weeks (the longest projected time out) from the time the GM submits the IR player. A player put on IR still counts against the cap but doesn't count against the roster size. Stipulation: If a NHL player is on the real IR they are eligible for the Backyard IR and do not have to be missing 10 games or 4 weeks from the time the GM submits.We will use this site from reference of injury reserve:http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/injuries/For our purposes out indefinitely will qualify for IR placement. Plus anything over 4 weeks excepted to be out.We will also used the fantrax data to confirm or dispute these injuries.
Everything I've seen has said Rask is being given a few days, and TSN lists him as day-to-day. Therefore, he doesn't qualify for IR. If he was given a leave of absence and it was framed as a prolonged situation, or if TSN listed him as "out indefinitely" then he would qualify
I can't remember for the life of me if you can trade money in this league? From my quick research it seems like no. Maybe I'm just blind and it's in the rules[/quotNo , never had money trades in Backyard.
We going to get our awards from last year?
What a horrible time to ask this question, why didn't you say anything earlier in the season?!?!?! I've never won a Backyard award, so I totally forgot that it was even a thing.At this point, I'm on the fence. We could award the 2018 and 2019 awards both this off-season, but that would be a lot of discounts and I don't know if any team would get too much of an advantage for 2019-2020. I think it'd be good to have Drew weigh in. Maybe even do a league vote on the issue. Maybe if we award both years, a team couldn't claim the same award twice, I'm not sure if anyone is in that situation.
Completely missed guys, but my opinion would be delay extension period 2 until awards are in place from the previous season, there are only a few that affect any discounts. I would say that they could be retroactive to extension period #1 as well but not free agency.
