Thanks VI!
1) It's kind of like you read my mind. I plan to have a 5-round mini draft sometime mid-September after training camp is finished and before the start of the season (most likely 2-3 days before we'll do it). During this time, you will have the option to drop a maximum of 5 players of your choice from your roster and pick up 5 new ones.
All players being dropped must be announced 24 hours before the mini-draft. The number of players you drop determine the number of rounds you will participate in. The draft order will be determined randomly for this.
Injuries happen all the time in hockey and could be very costly. The plan I have so far is that each team will be given 5 IR Spots. If you decide to place a player on the IR, they will remain there for at least a week and you will get to pick up a player, of that position, to fill in. The reason there is a minimum time for the IR is because I don't want to see people abusing "injuries" for picking up players on hot streaks.
Aside from the Pre-Season and Injuries, Trade Deadline day will be the only other time where you will be able to pickup/drop players. During the evening of Trade Deadline day, we will have a mini 3-round draft where you will be allowed to drop a maximum of 3 players. Basically it'll be the same format as the Pre-Season one except the draft order will be based off of last place to 1st.
2) As I've stated on the OP, I plan to use pickuphockey.com. It is a simple site that I've been using for years and will NOT require people to make accounts in order to see their rosters/stats. (I might consider using other leagues too such as Yahoo, TSN or FanTrax...I'll decide closer to the season)
These are the plans I have so far that I can remember. Things could be changed determined on how set-up goes. Feel free to ask questions or make suggestions! And a reminder for everyone, make sure you have the correct number of Forwards, Defense and Goaltending.
