Rules:

Goal

• Build a team that would win the Stanley Cup in the 2023/2024 season
• Win two rounds of voting, one at the conclusion of the game, and another at the conclusion of the 2022/2023 season

Draft Details

• 23 round snake draft --> more than usual so you can draft vets/prospects and account for injuries. You can choose to void your picks after round 20 if you want to.
• 3rd round is reversed (32nd OA drafts at the start of R2, 3, 5, 7 while 1st OA drafts at the start of R1, 4, 6 etc)
• 3 hour clock for round 1
• 2 hour clock afterwards, will cut it after round 7 if too many players are being skipped
• Clock runs from 8am to 1am EST every day
• Back to back picks still have 2 hours not 4

Trades

• 3 total per team during the draft, or within a 24 hour window after the final pick as been made. The goal of this is to reduce parity and permit different team building strategies, as well as increased engagement.
• No 3 team trades
• Each asset may be traded once, a player and a pick are being defined as separate assets, this is different from last year where they were defined as the same asset.
  • If a trade agreement is made pending x player being picked, the posting GM still has a clock to abide to. Conditions are between the GMs, and must be handled in DMs. If a traded pick is skipped, that is between you.
• Unfair trades can be veto'd if 9 GMs vote against it within 24 hours of the trade, this will be done by one GM posting a *veto trade x* post in this thread, and the post garnering 8+ likes.
  • We will not pause the draft or permit going back to make picks if this occurs, so as to ensure GMs make the maximum effort to ensure fair trading.
  • Unfair trading should require an egregious value gap, and if both GMs can justify their reasoning, i.e. cap reasons, or a large belief in a players potential, the vote will stop and it will be defined as fair.

Salary Cap

• 61.5M to 81.5M

Eligible Players

• Any player who had a contract for the 2022-2023 season will use that contract for the game, not next years contracts. Yes, this does create value discrepancies, but it is for simplicities sake.
• Any currently unsigned NHL drafted prospect, or 2023 NHL Draft Eligible player may be chosen and have their contract be 0.925M
• Euros who are not NHL affiliated are not permitted to be drafted unless they had a contract for this season i.e. Datsyuk, but those that are affiliated can be. Affiliated = signed, or drafted.

Presumed Health + Injuries (Very Subjective, Drafted Beware)

• It is up to you to pick players you expect to play next season, if they do not play, that is on you and will impact you accordingly.
• We assume for voting they recover in a reasonable sense from any injuries they have i.e. Tarasenko's shoulder last season was clearly recoverable from, but Webers injuries were not. For this game, a player like Caufield is presumed to have recovered from his injury, but Couturier is more of a risk because his play next season may reflect his injury. That is really up to you and voting GMs.
• Guys who have deteriorated don't just magically end up in their primes
• When it comes to health, assume their status is fully healed from whatever injury they're currently suffering from

Skipped Picks

• Your pick is skipped after the clock expires, as are all future picks until you make it up, you will be auto'd after 2 rounds have elapsed
• 3 skips and your clock is reduced to 50%
• 5 skips is auto skip

Voting

• 32 team bracket format, with bracket determined at random after the draft. Bracket will be re-randomized for the second voting period
• All voting will be on the GM games board
• Voting is only based on the players actively in the lineup, not your spares.

Please DM, and tag the next person up​
