Franchise NHL / Re: VOTE 2017-18 MiLR PROSPECT GAMES PLAYED MAXIMUM

« on: December 16, 2016, 09:25:02 AM »

From what I have read of this history with minor league prospects in this league there were problems with timing promotion of the minor leaguers, what type of penalty when minor leaguers are not promoted after 40 NHL games played, problems with owners inserting minor leaguers in the league up without an official rookie contract.

The Combination Option appears to address all those problems by giving teams a longer assessment period and the ability to freely use the minor leaguer up to the 82 game mark.

Overall that Combination Option appears to be a good solution to a long standing issue from what I can find and read in the league's archives.

Great trade by Montreal and Toronto.
This makes me think back to the old John Kordic for Russ Courtnall trade. A doozy.

My plan for the Calgary Flames is to move into contention immediately.

I think it's possible with the caliber of players we have on hand and the competition in the Pacific Division.

Trading players in the minor league system will help move us closer toward a playoff position.

Afterall we are only a few games out at this point and from what I see the 2016-17 Franchise NHL season has not even reached the halfway mark.

The level of competition is great from what I've observed.
Beware of the Flames.

Pencil and paper drafts are the best. Guys get together. Beer cases are stacked and snacks everywhere.

Today everyone is online and no one sees the other managers in the league face to face. Very isolated. Of course you get managers from all over with the internet. We had a guy from Russia, Japan and Taiwan in my oldest baseball league which dates back to 1986.

Rules have changed over time, but you can currently buy out a player (you cant bid on them) and receive a discount if someone else gives them a contract.

Garrett Sparks is a good example on your flames. The discount was applied.

Makes sense.
Thank you, Jonathan.
