Unfortunately, I have some bad news about the future of this league. I know the summer is usually pretty quiet in terms of activity, but given how much quieter the thread and Discord have been this year, I suspect that at least a few teams are going to need replacement GMs before the start of next season. I've been pretty swamped with school and work stuff this year and this has made keeping up with the league very difficult at times. I'm going to be taking on a heavier course load this fall and I expect that the little bit of free time I had for running this league is going to evaporate. Having to search for a handful of new GMs on top of getting the league ready for next season is just something I won't have the time, energy, or desire to do.

When PG Canuck and I started this league in 2017, I really believed that it could last for years to come. Given how much work we've all put into making this league what it is, it seems like a shame to shut it all down. I know many of you are proud of the teams you've built and wouldn't be too keen on throwing that all away either.

I see two options going forward:

• If anyone wants to volunteer to take over as commissioner, I will gladly assist in handing everything over.
• Otherwise, I may just set up Pickuphockey with the rosters we have and see how the season unfolds. I just can't commit to keeping the sheets and Pickup updated throughout the year, but at least it's something. If my schedule opens up again in the future, maybe the league can resume whenever that happens.

I'm very sorry that it's come to this. As I said above, I really wanted this to work out and I thought that this league would thrive for many years. Hopefully we can figure something out that avoids the worst case scenario.

It´s a bad day(s) when this league shows signs of dying while at the same time Benning gets extended.

I am not active enough or knowledgable enough to run a league like this, but if there are pure administrative tasks I can help with, e.g. updating sheets, to ease the burden a bit I am more than happy to do so.

Obviously we will never find 31 GMs that will forever engage in playing this league, but I do believe we have a solid core of GMs now. Would be a shame if it all died away.

I also would like to offer my services! I will Dido what Havre said! I do not have the experience or knowledge to make the tough calls being new to the league, but I like the suggestion on breaking down the administrative load I would be willing to take something like that on! I also have A few buddies that may jump at the opportunity to manage A team, I have got lots of interest in the past.

 

[Canucklehead19]

I would like to add A big thanks to @intowesable for all his hard work and dedication! I for one asked him A lot of questions and always got back to me and was polite!!! Appreciate all you have done and hope we can keep this thing going for future generations! And potentially save the world!!!

 

[Maticus]

sends down Mike Reilly and Casey Nelson and calls up Patrik Nemeth and Roman Polak.

 

[Intoewsables]

If you're still interested in the league, please shoot me a Discord message or PM. Doing an activity check before handing the keys over.

 

[Intoewsables]

First of all, I just want to say thank you to everyone who offered to step up and contribute to keep this league afloat. The response was incredible and I sincerely appreciate your dedication to the league. I'm very relieved to say that we have a solution that will allow the league to continue.

Maticus, Weylspin, and Wush have graciously offered to take over as co-commissioners. Given that they've all been incredibly active since joining and have contributed to administrative duties in one form or another in the past, I think we can all agree that they're up to the task.

Again, thank you to everyone who offered their help. This league has worked so well for the past two years because of the great community we have here. Best of luck to everyone in the upcoming season!

 

[Intoewsables]

Also, I've been super unclear on this but I do intend to stick around as Arizona's GM (until I get fired for poor performance).

With the 2019-2020 season approaching, GMs may now start submitting their active rosters in the thread. Just a reminder that the roster limits are 14 forwards, 8 defensemen, and 2 goalies, for a total of 23 players (so either 13/8/2 or 14/7/2).

At minimum, you must be able to dress 18 skaters and 2 goaltenders. Additionally, your active roster must put your team within the cap range of $60.2M - $81.5M.

Any teams that fail to meet the above requirements will face draft pick penalties, and/or a loss of pool points. If it continues to be a problem, you will be fired.

The waiver wire will open on Friday, September 27th. Any waiver-eligible players sitting in the minors will be automatically placed on waivers for any team to claim. Waiver order based on last year's standings. Claiming a player moves you to the bottom of the list. The list will reset at the start of every month. If you need a reminder of the waiver eligibility rules, they can be found below as well as in the CBA (Section 3.5).

The waiver exemption thresholds are as follows:
21 years and younger - 180 NHL Games Played
22 to 24 - 80 NHL Games Played
25 years and older - 1 full season under contract

If you're unsure of a specific player's waiver eligibility, don't hesitate to ask.

Here's an example of how the rosters should be submitted.

Chris Kreider - Ryan Johansen - Anthony Mantha
Jake Debrusk - Brayden Schenn - Mikael Granlund
Tyler Bertuzzi - Jean-Gabriel Pageau - Oliver Bjorkstrand
Artturi Lehkonen - Joel Eriksson Ek - Saku Maenalanen
Mason Appleton

Will Butcher - Ryan Pulock
Jonas Brodin - Brandon Montour
John Moore - Kevin Shattenkirk
Patrik Nemeth, Roman Polak

Robin Lehner
Devan Dubnyk​

Also, HFVHL has implemented new rules during the offseason, I've listed them below.

1) Minimum of 900 total GP required per season. Draft pick fine depending on how far away from the limit a team is.
2) All NTCs (including M-NTCs) become modified no-trade clauses with 10 team trade lists (10 teams the player will waive for, not 10 teams they won't waive for) for simplicity. The NMC portion of any clauses containing NMCs will remain intact to prevent these players from going on waivers, and for the expansion draft implications.
3) Waiver order based on last year's standings. Claiming a player moves you to the bottom of the list. The list will reset at the start of every month.

Thank goodness for Toews' old posts...
