ProFSL Dynasty Hockey:
League Introduction and Set-Up:
- ProFSL Dynasty Hockey was established in 2020 following the Tampa Bay Lightning winning the 2020 Stanley Cup
The aim is to create a league different from what has been on this site in the past, by:
- Introducing a brand new feature - Each franchise has one Captain and three Assistant Captains, who are assigned a no-trade clause and a reduced salary capt hit
- Using a H2H 1-win scoring format
- Adding in an RFA extension period for players coming off of rookie contracts
- Using a Rookie Draft Lottery system for non-playoff teams
Salary Cap
2020-2021 Salary Cap: $105 million (~ 30% above actual NHL Salary Cap - [$81.5m])
Minimum player salary: $0.5m per year
Maximum player salary: No max
Contracts
Flat Salary
There are no variable salary contracts: Each year of a contract will have the same salary/cap hit amount
Minimum Salary
All contracts will be at least $0.5m per year, and must be in multiples of $0.1m
Conferences
There will be two conferences based on past Captains: One western based and one eastern based (as close as possible geographically, given which franchises are chosen)
Henrik Sedin Conference :VAN:
Dougie Gilmour Conference :TOR-NHL:
Scoring
League scoring will be "One Win, H2H" using an 11-CAT format
Example:
In week one, Team A defeats Team B 7-4. Team A's record will move to 1-0, and Team B's goes to 0-1
Scoring Categories:
Skaters:
G (Goals)
A (Assists)
PPP (PowerPlay Points)
SOG (Shots on Goal)
HIT (Hits)
BLK (Blocked Shots)
FOW (Faceoffs Won)
Goalies:
W (Wins)
SV (Saves)
SV% (Save Percentage)
GAA (Goals Against Average)
*Note: Goalies must have 3 games played in order to qualify for goalie stats (More below)
Roster Size
Maximum NHL roster size is 32
Maximum Minor League roster size is 30
(See Minor League Roster rules for more information)
Starting Lineup Roster:
3 C
3 LW
3 RW
6 D
3 Flex (Any Skaters)
2 G
Plus 12 Bench Slots to make up your 32-man Active Roster
Minimum Active Roster
All teams must have a minimum of 20 active starting roster players, who are slotted in (starting) at their eligible starting position (Each position listed above must have an eligible player in it)
Example:
Each team has to have eligible players in the following slots: 3C, 3LW, 3RW, 6D, 2G plus 3 other skaters in the FLEX slots.
Eligible NHL Roster Players:
Any player on your 32-man NHL Roster, whether slotted in a starting position or on a BN slot, MUST be in the NHL on an NHL team's active 23-man roster
Setting Line-Ups:
It is expected that you start active players who are playing on each night of NHL games
(ie. Not putting players from your BN into your active lineup who are not playing that night, in place of players who are playing that night)
If you forget to set your lineups for a day or two, that is an honest mistake and you will already be penalized by not accumulating stats for those 1 or 2 days of games
However, if you are repeatedly seen not setting lineups, you will first receive a warning (see penalties below), and in this case your lineup will be re-set by a mod to have the highest producing players each night in the active slots
This is to reduce losing on purpose, to gain a higher draft pick (ie. Actively tanking)
Failure to abide by either or both of the above NHL Roster and Setting Lineup rules will result in the following penalties:
1st Offence: Warning to make team legal
2nd Offence: Loss of highest available 1st Round Draft Pick
3rd Offense: Loss of next available 1st Round Draft Pick, plus highest available 2nd and 3rd Round Draft Picks
4th Offense: Removal from league
