TIME OUTLINE AND DRAFT ORDER LOCATED AT BOTTOM OF THIS POST
***FINAL RULES AND POINT SYSTEMS ARE FINALIZED AND POSTED BELOW AND POLLS HAVE CLOSED***
Draft Overview
-20 COMMITTED GMS
***THIS IS NOW A KEEPER LEAGUE...YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO KEEP 7 PLAYERS YOU DRAFT THIS SEASON, SO NEXT SEASON WE WILL HAVE A 15 ROUND DRAFT TO MAKE UP MISSING POSITIONS***
-$70m salary cap (VOTE CONCLUDED)
-ROTISSERIE STYLE DRAFT (VOTE CONCLUDED)...if u still have questions about rotisserie please ask
-3 co-commissioners for this league are agrudez, dsmissed, and modo (you can send them, or myself, your draft lists if you know ahead of time you will likely miss your upcoming pick/picks, they will be helping me maintain order within this draft, so it doesnt fall apart and stays organized and helping make league decisions as we proceed on)
-The League will be a 22 Round Dispersal Draft
-POSITIONS TO DRAFT: RW x 4 / LW X 4 / C X 4 / D X 6 /G X 2/ BN x 2 (There are also 2 IR Spots)
-Draft Schedule will always be posted in both the excel spreadsheet and below the 'drafted players list' in the upcoming Main Drafting Thread of our league
-Dispersal Draft Order has been determined at random below.... Order will be in the form of a "Snake Draft" (ie whoever picks last in rd 1, picks first in rd 2, and so on)
-No Prospect/Entry draft....Anyone and everyone is up for grabs.....sign rfa's at your own cap risk (as we will go by their cap numbers once they've signed.....if they don't sign and leave the NHL, tough luck.....so draft them early on at your own risk)
-Luckily we have 2 HFBoard Moderators so far drafting with us, so please don't make them do any extra work editing/deleting your posts for not following HFBoard rules. They have been very helpful to me in the past running things and sending out mass pm's to keep us organized, so they shouldn't be forced to clean up after any of us here (If you are confused/unsure of any HFBoard rule just pm them, I'm sure they'd be glad to answer if it is a Mod-related query).
League Management
-We will utilize yahoo's fantasy site for the management of these boards, however, we will be using my excel spreadsheet as the cap guide, for cap management throughout the WHOLE season....ill keep emailing everyone a new copy and posting it here everytime a new player is changed on a team or trade completed, as i will use cap geeks team fantasy cap calculator to assemble the teams and copy into the excel...this way we get the sick features of yahoo and still maintain the cap through my excel
To help make trades based on cap use this good tool:
http://capgeek.com/trade_machine.php
RULES:
1. Once you have made your draft selection, PLEASE REMEMBER TO PM THE NEXT GM SELECTING....moves things along so much faster, so please if you could take this rule seriously.
2. During the regular season there is no limit on the number of trades that can be made, however a cap of 50 transactions is placed for the number of UFA's you can exchange for on your team (remember, every time you place or remove a player onto the IR (Injured Reserve), it counts as 2 transactions, so 50 isnt as high as it may seem) ....This can be lowered depending on majority thoughts
3. Trades must be sent in for approval before they are accepted either during the draft or throughout the year on yahoo (THIS IS A MUST SINCE WE ARE DEALING WITH SALARY CAPS AND NEED TO ENSURE APPROPRIATE FOLLOWINGS). If I am not online, another commish can make a judgement and/or will get in touch with me. If none of us respond in timely manner, just post your trade on hfboards and if theres an issue we will bring it to your attention, just if its during the season, dont automatically accept it on yahoo because of the cap.
4. Claiming players off of the waiver wire during the season requires you to take a VERY CAREFULLY look at your cap situation before the acquisition, as your team CANNOT go over the cap (penalties will be introduced below if u exceed ur cap during the season)
REFERENCE:
1. Cap numbers to be taken ONLY from Capgeek.com (VERY IMPORTANT)
2. Player Positions (ie, RW/C,etc) to be taken ONLY from Yahoo.com
PENALTIES:
1. If you select a player who was already previously drafted, you will not be able to change that player until the current round has finished drafting (to make ppl do their research before making their picks...ppl shouldn't have to be babysat, we can all use CTRL + F
2. If you miss more than 2 Rounds, of your picks in a row, you are auto drafted players to catch up (we will do this based on pts from last season, not the bpa (however best position avail will be considered, ie d vs f vs g)....If you miss 3 Rounds in a row you are replaced as GM
3. If you exceed your salary cap at any point throughout the season, whether because of a trade or free agent pickup, you will have to automatically drop that player and wait 3 days before picking up a replacement player who fits under your cap, that is of course a 3 day penalty AFTER ur new acquisition has already cleared the waiver wire and is off ur roster (I Had to implement a rule like this since yahoo doesnt have a cap feature and therefore we require constant revisiting of the excel doc cap values posted here by all gms to ensure they are cap friendly before putting through their acquisitions)
STAT BREAKDOWN FOR ROTISSERIE DRAFT (still open for discussion up until 6pm tues (TONIGHT)):
PTS
Offense / Defense
G
A
+/-
PPP (instead of just ppg, cause theres too many goal based stats here already)
SHP

W
SHUTOUTS

DISCUSSION
Since we're using Yahoo, they have a really cool new addition for the waiver wire, which takes it from being based on a specific order and turns it into a bidding system, here is their explanation on yahoo:
"In a Free Agents Acquisition Budgets (FAAB) waivers system, each manager receives a dollar amount to place blind bids on waived players. The manager with the highest bid at the end of the waiver period claims that player and that bid amount is deducted from the team's acquisition budget. If multiple managers place an equal bid on a player, tiebreak options are available as described above."
Could be a cool new way to do the waiver wire, especially cause of the salary cap in our league. Other option is to use standard waiver wire rules when players are dropped by gms....let me know???
