Just wondering what some people's thought are on these possible rule changes.

Buyouts
Here is the rule exactly from the CBA of the NHL. Does anyone think this should be implemented.

Contract Buyouts:

For players under the age of 26, a buyout costs the team one-third of remaining contract value.
For players 26 or older, a buyout costs two-thirds of remaining contract value.


UFA/RFA:
Along with arbitration don't know if I want to add this as it makes it a lot more complex.

Draft Lottery
Thoughts on a draft lottery for the bottom 3 teams.


 I like the lottery idea but believe the arbitration idea may be too complicated at our level

Backyard NHL: Invalid Transactions / Re: NYR- Ottawa Trade
« on: December 07, 2011, 03:01:05 AM »
Based on your response Abby, I will go from not approving to approving even though i kinda dont like it still a little but if you feel like you have something set for a future goal, trust me when I say, I feel your goal passion, Ive done moves people don't think were good, but eventually in the end it all works out and you become pretty good and able to compete...so anyways, normally I just say I approve and not write long winded stuff...but oh well....I approve of the trade!!

Much appreciation from me to you Drew. I have to be honest and tell you that I don't know what I'm doing 100% of the time...............but I'm confident this trade takes me in the direction I want to go......Cheers :thumbsup:

Sorry abby just want to why you think this makes your team better. Horton is a long term contract in comparsion to Grabby whose contract is up this season. So you would pick up Weber and Boucher and the pick for next season but lose Horton for next season and have to make a decision whether to sign Grabby or not. You have 4 NHL centers right now and 4 RW so this would push you to 5 C and 3 RW. Just want to see your reasoning to why this makes you better? This isn't meant to be disrespectful just want a better explanation.

No disrespect taken Drew. I think this makes my team better for the simple fact I gain a goalie ( all be it not playing right now I just found out), a d-man and a 2nd round pick. To me Grab and Horton cancel themselves out. Both have the same FTXP's this season.Last year they both were 26th and 28th in their positions. Next year Grab is going to want a raise to the 4million mark........exactly what I would have to pay Horton. I mean I'm gaining 2 players playing...and a draft pick!! That's the reason I think my team will be a better team after I make this trade. One thing that often gets overlooked is one GM's vision over the next.We all don't think alike and this is just a small step down a long road to an eventual cup championship!!! I hope that makes some sense to you and I always look forward to imput and or suggestions

Backyard NHL: Invalid Transactions / NYR- Ottawa Trade
« on: December 06, 2011, 11:41:46 PM »
The NYR's are pleased to announce the following trade with the Ottawa Senators

To: NYR
Mikhail Grabovski
Mike Weber
Brian Boucher
Ott 2nd round pick 2012

To: Ottawa
Nathan Horton


My reasons for making this trade are very simple.......................It makes my team better!!! Beanner REALLY wanted Horton and was willing to pay this to get him on his team. I think the NYR just got a little better

CHEERS Bean!!!! :thumbsup:

Backyard NHL: Invalid Transactions / Re: Division Re-Alignment
« on: December 06, 2011, 06:15:33 AM »
Divisions based on location would work.

:MON-NHL: - :OTT: - :TOR-NHL:

:BOS-NHL: - :BUF-NHL: - :NYR:

:PHI-NHL: - :PIT-NHL: - :WAS-NHL:

:CLG: - :EDM: - :VAN:

:CHI-NHL: - :CLS: - :DET-NHL:

:COL-NHL: - :DAL-NHL: - :LA:

You play each team in your division 4 times. (8 games)
Play each other team once. (15 games)

That would be a total of 23 games.

o



I like this alot. As far as rivals go...........I hope they change  from year to year. I dont want to see the same teams dominating their divisons.
