Two things to discuss

1 - Stipulations on trades. Kind of like future considerations but like if I was to trade Tony a 2nd round pick for Brown and we added the stipulation that if I reach the cup final that 2nd becomes a 1st round pick. The problem I see is that it ties but multiple picks in a trade but could be very interesting and get you watching other teams more closely.

2 - Bring up the discussion again of RFAs as where we left it off, it had good traction.

1 - Until we can reliably update the roster list on a timed basis on profsl, I think this is a bad idea. And I don't mean a monthly update; I mean at least a twice a week update. For example, there are trades from the trade deadline that have yet to be updated. They should have been updated and moved on by now. I have seen various trades in this league get reworked because a team forgot they traded specific picks. (and yes, I do blame the gm as well cause that person should be keeping track of their team in a separate file on their computer.)

This would be something else that needs to be tracked, and if we cannot reliably update the roster list with regularity, then it will eventually become confusing when trying to send a trade proposal to another team.

And yes, I understand we all have a personal life outside of fantasy sports - I am not looking to put people down. I am just expressing a concern that this might complicate things

2 - I think my previous idea in regards to compensation for UFAs can be applied here. If we extend the amount of time a team can resign and resolve issues in 14-15, then it should work.

If we do RFAs/UFAs, then we need to define them. I think the easiest way to do it is by two way contracts. If the player is on a two way, then he is an RFA. If he is not on a two way, then he is a UFA.

3 - I still think it is a good idea to do extension discounts to two way players. This will make it easier for teams to keep their youth. And it should be smaller then what a division winner gets - something like 3%.

I'll dig into some of the other ideas later but for now I'll say that as much as I like the idea of conditional picks I think the reality of them would be overly difficult to manage. Generally, keeping it simple is best.

That is mostly my fault for leaving them as if I did them weekly, it would be a lot easier for me. I will next season commit to a weekly update day. It is my first year full time teaching and a brand new baby so I didn't have the time in comparison to procrastinating from school work :disco:.

For tracking purposes, it would be very simple to track. Picks that are included in stipulations or conditions would be changed to red on your roster and a thread would be started to state the conditions that apply for each team. All I would have to do is update at end of season the same I do now with the draft picks.

2 - I think my previous idea in regards to compensation for UFAs can be applied here. If we extend the amount of time a team can resign and resolve issues in 14-15, then it should work.

If we do RFAs/UFAs, then we need to define them. I think the easiest way to do it is by two way contracts. If the player is on a two way, then he is an RFA. If he is not on a two way, then he is a UFA.

For RFAs/UFAs they would definitely be defined but I think that RFAs would be players that have been drafted into Backyard instead of all two ways, since I don't think a signed player in free agency should classify for the RFA. This would be another case of colour coding, make them blue or whatever colour is subtle.

I still like the idea of matching in free agency though too, instead of the straight compensation for losing a player.

one rule id like to see is if a team that gets first pick over all but reason for it is not setting up line ups that they should get some sort of penalty for not setting up line ups in order to tank season to get first over all.

One rule I would like to see is that GM's respond to all trade offers....oh wait, we already have that.  :rool:

Here's a tweak I would like to see. Along with fixing our header to reflect the changes in the Divisions I would like to see the Rules Handbook link fixed. I would also adopt a good feature from a couple of other leagues. Namely providing a hotlink to a couple of the two most often used pages: Transactions and Deadlines. Personally I could live without linking to the Official Team Pages (don't we all just click on the team icons?).

I will definitely try to get this fixed but it is a programing issue that we haven't had our header fix. The admin say this is simply due to how old Backyard is as it is still on the old system and isn't transferring well.

I'll see what I can do though.

I think we should discuss the +/- stat. It was the difference in this years Stanley Cup Final. Tony was +4 I believe and Slack was -16. Made the difference in the long run.
