HFVan Hockey League 2017-18 III

I don't like the idea of teams intentionally racing to the bottom from day one, but there's nothing in the rules that prohibits this. Besides, I don't think it's terribly unreasonable that a team would look to get rid of Lehtonen or Varlamov in a pool like this. Bad starters and/or starters on bad teams don't hold a ton of value, especially when teams are limited to one starter at a time. If someone tries to waive a Carey Price or Matt Murray, then yeah, I'll likely react differently.

Even as a shitty starter Varlamov will put up 150 points or so. (Equivalent of an RNH or Dion Phaneuf i.e. middle 6 forward or middle pairing D).

Also:

Winnipeg assigns Matt Grzelyck to the AHL and recalls Joe Morrow.

I would say we probably need a rule to prevent GMs from having no NHL starter in their line-up or waiving starters to tank (regardless how bad they are). I do agree it would be unfair to add such a rule now since the offseason is over; if we were to add something it should start next season.

My suggestion is having a required number of games played (like 40-50?) by both goalies combined to be eligible for the Playoffs and/or Entry Draft.

This. Who cares when you implement rules. Promotes loopholes if you dont.

 

[Rolo]

How did you make that?

If there's enough support for this, I have no problem with implementing a new rule in the offseason.

 

[Dabeast]

I'm very ok with this this rule as long as everybody cough LB cough has NHL goalies

 

[Canucks LB]

[Dabeast]

wait a second

 

[Raistlin]

Varly is not a shitty starter. he will win the Avs his share of games. Put it on record that I am in favor of a minimum games for starter to be eligible for draft rule.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Claim Varly and suspend martin jones indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

If I were allowed to carry a third goalie I would put in a claim. Sad day.

 

[Weylspin]

So does LB get Varly since he's last? If not I put a claim on him and would send Subban down in that case

 

[Balls Mahoney]

What the f***? Varlamov got waived?

That's utterly ridiculous.

 

[Tryamkin]

I vote to veto the goalie waive for intentional tank.

Votes:

I think the ridiculousness started when Dallas signed a waiver scrub for 5 million to circumvent the cap. Allow that and I see nothing wrong with waiving Varly. Both doing the exact same thing - intentionally making their team worse by making moves that would (could?) never happen in real life, so c'est le vie credible fantasy league.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

You can't force everyone to have an NHL starter, if people want to tank, fine. As long as we have a 14+ team lottery draft.

I think the ridiculousness started when you messed up my team direction by accepting and then declining my no trade clause with “no bias” and then making a fake letter from the same player (which you haven’t done for anyone else). I could have done other things to get under cap like for instance trading my goalie in a deal that was lined up gaining me more cap. Unfortunately that one got blocked from a grown man claiming that he used multiple personalities in a discord chat to stir up the pot giving false information and leading people the wrong way prevented that. So yes you were the direct start of league issues including half of the league confused why he wasn’t waived and the start of the NMC controversy. The commissioner has been very chill about everything and hasn’t done anything regarding it.

The draft lottery will mimic the NHL's lottery.

Wait wouldn't trading your goalie make you lose a lot of cap...? Therefore not helping your cap situation at all? Not trying to pick a side just wondering

If you paid attention and actually could read it says that in the deal I was have gained cap.

I guess I misread it, my bad like I said I'm not trying to side against you I was just curious because you goalie has a large cap hit

 

[Canucks LB]
