Franchise NHL / Re: RULE INTRODUCED: Cannot BO & Draft a Drafted Player
« on: January 17, 2021, 12:50:28 PM »
This new rule is to prevent circumventing the cap hit attributed to a top prospect.
In the past 2 seasons, we have seen teams dropping or Buying out a top prospect with a pricy ELC only to draft them in the Supplemental or Special Round 5 portion of the Entry Draft.

Rule Introduced January 5, 2021: Teams prohibited from Releasing or Buying out a MiLR player, player on ELC only to draft them in the Supplemental, Entry or Special Round 5 portion of the Entry Draft.

Example: Jack Hughes selected #1 overall should earn a $3.0M ELC but was bought out and drafted during the 2020 FNHL Supplemental Draft and will be signed to a league minimum of $0.7M - as of today, this practice will not be allowed as Hughes deserves his $3M ELC contract and this circumvents a sizeable cap hit the drafting team should accept.

Moving forward as of today January 5, 2021, this practice will not be allowed. :judge:

Good Rule change

The Rd 5 pick for Seattle :SEA-NHL: - is that treated like an entry draft pick or like a supplemental pick as with the Division winners? I want to make sure I've got the right prospects lined up. LMK Thanks.

Yes

Seems the talks between NHL and NHLPA have been holding things up for the hockey world.
I'm guessing the PA wants to get the NHL to give players an opt out of play while the NHL probably doesn't want to allow it.

The NBA has an interesting setup but they only have 1 Canadian team to contend with. The NHL will have a tough time getting things started in January if they don't come to an agreement with the PA by mid-December.

Agreed; let’s hope they reach agreement quickly for the fans.

I say they drop the puck to start the regular season on January 18, 2021.
It should be January 11th but there will be positive COVID tests early on during training camp leading to slowdown/shutdowns for several days/wks in December.

That's my guess.

I follow that logic; good as guess as I would have.

I am noticing this looks like an A B conversation so I’m going to C my way out. So sorry to interrupt

Franchise NHL / Re: FNHL History - Stories
« on: November 13, 2020, 09:49:03 PM »
My story isn't directly about FNHL but about my BY experience. Still involves FNHL indirectly.

I think I was in BY for all of a week or 2 when I first joined Profsl. I didn't reply to a PM for 5-7 days and got kicked out by Drew for not being active enough for his precious BY. You could tell the guy had too much time and no family, definitely no kids or a house. All I could do was laugh. My guess is the guy actually created spawn now and understand he was premature with his decision. From what I hear he disappears for stretches now. Karma. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

How does this indirectly involve FNHL?

Well, all I can say is after that regrettable encounter with Drew, I appreciate how professional and mature PR & PPG are in this league. People seem to get it here. Play hard but relax and don't let stuff wind you up.

Then seeing how Drew used commish privileges to retroactively adjust his lineup numerous times to win matchups just made a lot of us question those FNHL champions. It did for me. Maybe that huge Anton Forsberg BO cap hit is bad karma slapping the face of that Minnesota Wild franchise.

That’s some laundry

You know I'm just adding my version of Antman to this thread right. But I have to say Indians ripped my heart out when he traded away Sebastian Aho, Nikita Gusev AND Johnny Gaudreau from my heavily scouted former San Jose Sharks franchise. At least Rock On has worked on rebuilding the minors over there. :thumbsup:

Feels like a separate unique perspective entirely. I’d just call it a Burkeeee

I think we both value prospects so I could see how that might be viewed as wreckless management.

AntMan's bullying me again MOM! :rofl::rofl: We are all watching you continually assembling the best young roster. :thumbsup: So we don't feel bad for your Colorado Avalanche. Not one bit. But I have to say it'll be tougher without the assistance of Indians. :rofl: Some of us still talk about how the Avs were gifted Cayden Primeau.  :puke::puke::thumbsup:

I’m happy to discuss this because I think there is a cluster of teams stuck on this one transaction and holding up trade conversations creating a Venn diagram or silo trade circles where we should be wide open but very few are in the overlap.

Let’s remember Cayden was the 29th best goalie spec at the time and hadn’t be regraded as some Price equivalent. Boston trades a Late supplemental to Indians for a first. Colorado then offered up a supplemental on the trade block having two left and we struck a deal with indians agreeing on two supplementals for Primeau. IMO at that time the first was worth the same or slightly more than Primeau so I had the lesser of the deals. There was a trade committee and I’d say they (yourself included) agreed at that moment demand and value was high on those supplemental picks. You just have to vote and move on and you must have agreed then.

Certainly no more of a gift than Binnington who’s actually producing in FNHL.  :puke:

Let’s also remember some trades go bad for Colorado and others also. Who deals for Beartschi giving up McAvoy.

Pick your poison in a league of sharks. That’s why we need parity rules so the big sharks get challenged. You’re the biggest shark right now BB. They’re going to come for you...

Com'on Ant! Don't give my Habs a hard time. We haven't played one another enough times to even develop a rivalry.

You’ll be ok w/o goalie compensation, you have a top team.

  • Rhino7: @Daddy, thanks for what you said lol. It was the ultimate challenge to beat JWalkerjr88 last season, I wanted my path to go through him so it makes my title run that much better! I just wanted to get to the SB and figured at that point anything can happen and lucky for me, my boys had enough left to take out BAB. Live is the most challenging league I’m in and most fun, so thanks for what you all do to make it that way.
    Today at 10:28:58 PM
  • BayAreaBallers: Rhino that was a pretty close final too i think

  • Rhino7: Appreciate it, your team is solid. I expect to see you make another run
    Today at 10:46:37 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: You did well Rhino. I appreciate the battle. The loss didnt sting more because i was undefeated, i know fully that being undefeated in the reg season doesnt mean anything in the playoffs. When rhino and i played this past season, the better team won.
    Today at 10:58:04 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: This next year im coming full force. So far my pattern is win a chip every other year. Lets keep the streak going!!

    Today at 11:07:13 PM
  • Daddy: I hate losing. Especially when its the biggest moments. I hate my teams i root for to lose. I really hate for the teams i built myself to lose.
    Today at 11:08:50 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: I dont like losing ever. But a loss is a loss. Im pissed either way

  • Braves155: Are you also a perfectionist in your everyday life?
    Today at 11:10:05 PM
  • Daddy: Im not a perfectionist in my dynasty life. I make all kinds of bad trades and make all kinds of mistakes.
    Today at 11:10:51 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: If i traded all my picks to a division rival in a rebuild and he beat me in the title game with Desmond ridder or lose undefeated. Its all a loss at the end of the day
    Today at 11:11:08 PM
  • Daddy: Nobody is right all the time. Its the beauty of sports.
    Today at 11:11:13 PM

    Today at 11:13:44 PM
  • Daddy: It helps to know sports but ive signed guys ive never heard of like SP Dallas Kuechel. Nobody knew who he was. I saw he earned a spot. I took a chance. A couple years later the dude wins the Cy Young.
    Today at 11:14:05 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: 3 out of the 4 starting QBs in the title games have been traded this offseason
    Today at 11:14:21 PM
  • Daddy: I think i had him on a prospect deal.
    Today at 11:14:22 PM
  • Daddy: It helps just to fill up your roster and sign good contracts. If you dont know crap but keep a full roster and manage finances, you will kick ass.
    Today at 11:15:26 PM
  • Daddy: I wasnt a genius signing Kuechel. I was just filling an empty spot. I got rewarded with the best pitcher in baseball for a few seasons.
