GM game Think tank

[donghabs98]

With many of our GM's going to school or going to work we will have some missing spots. We could go if the 30 man GM game but risk not being able to fill the league or we could explore new ideas

If you have any ideas what the next GM game should be post them here

maybe we can like do 1 Conference?


or 15 teams from both conferences becoming one?


or if we are 20 teams. 10 in each conferance etc.

 

[VanBrett]

16-team league with all of last years playoff teams?

We get as many teams as possible in, say three days, and each team picks 6/7/8 Forwards, 3/4 D, and 1 Goalie to keep. All the rest become UFAs. For teams no picked, the Commish/Co Commish/Outside people decide who they keep.

This is a great idea, I really like it.

my problem with that idea is simply that would we have enough GMs

We would need a few outside people to pick the keepers for the remaining teams. Other ideas in here are good too.

Each GM gets to pick two or three teams.... those team picks done like a draft, and then make the best 23 man roster from the teams. Have a certain number in reserves/minor for trading...only detail here is what to do about draft picks and prospects

10 gms= 3 teams to make roster
15 gms= 2 teams to make roster

I would LOVE this.

Fantasy Draft with as many GMs as we can get ?

 

[hlaverty06]

Fantasy drafts never work or hold interest.

 

[PriceIsGod]

Can we try it with 2013 FreeAgents ' s ? i know its kind of random but i think it would be fun

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Here is my idea:

Option 1:

Fill as many teams as possible within a certain time frame, and for the teams not claimed, have a dissolution draft with their players, round 1 for roster guys, remaining rounds for prospects and remaining roster guys.

Option 2:

Same as above, but instead of the dissolution draft, make all the players from the unclaimed teams Free Agents, and the highest bidder earns that player's services.

Just thought I'd throw it out there.

What do you guys think?

i like this idea a lot

 

[ECWHSWI]

re-inforcing basic rules and create new and simples ones would help.

for example :

UFA signed to a team and have a NTC/NMC, automatically become "unmovable" (like Doan in LYRN game, seriously lol)

have a max number of assets (prospects, picks or players) who can be moved in a single trade (lots of 10, 12 players involved in single trades last game, even saw one with NINETEEN... you know!).

etc


trying to make the game a little more realistic would help, as of now pretty much every new comer stop playing after one or two attempts...

 

[ECWHSWI]

i like this idea a lot

UFA agents probably wont like it as much

 

[Gaborikthebeast]

i like this idea a lot

As do I and I'd be a agent for it if u wanted

These are the two best.

GREAT idea's , might be alot of work for the Agents though..

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Yeah it would, but if we had quite a few of good agents who are organized and can always update their lists, it could work.

i like the 1st idea. on the 2nd it isnt gonna be fair if someone have like a team with low cap, then bid maximum for lets say malkin. thats not funny.

 

[Top 6 Spaling]

I like the idea of a dispersal draft of like 2 rounds for roster players, 1 round for prospects or something. If, say, 20 teams were taken, 10 would be disbanded. Each team has an average of 2 really good players, so there would be about 20 really good guys, one for each team. Then, the next round is for 2nd liners/2nd pairing D. Draft order is determined by standings of last season in the real NHL.

then i will be columbus lol im just joking xD

I know this is a joke, but its part of why I like this idea. NYR, BOS, PHI, or LAK win about 80% of GM games, but this would help even it out a little. For instance, lets say the Preds go unclaimed. Columbus (or whoever the worst team claimed is) could take Shea Weber 1st overall. With the last picks of the 1st round, teams like NYR, BOS, and VAN would get a Martin Erat level player instead.

I recommend not doing a snake, so then Columbus would have the 1st pick of the 2nd round, and so on. This could really help with parity, and make it less team dependent. The difference between Weber+Legwand and Erat+Klein or something is so great that a team could go much be easily from a bottom feeder to a division winner than the current setup. Should make things more interesting.
