- Rosters will lock each Monday five (5) minutes prior to puck drop of the first (1st) game on that day.
- Be sure to check when that first (1st) game is. Sometimes they start at 1pm, but most times the first (1st) game is at 7pm. In that case, rosters would lock at 6:55pm.
- Once rosters are locked you can no longer edit.
- If a mistake is made, PM an Admin to have your lineup fixed, if approved by the Admin.

- This league will be a head-to head league where you play one (1) opponent per matchup. Each matchup will consist of sixteen (16) scoring categories where you will either win, lose, or tie. The scoring categories will be as follows:

There will be four (4) weeks of playoff matchups. The first week will have the first place team playing the eighth place team, the second place team playing the seventh place team, the third place team playing the sixth, and the fourth playing the fifth. This goes for both conferences. The winners move on where the highest ranking team will play the lowest and the other two (2) teams play each other. This goes for both conferences. During the finals, hone ice advantage will go to the team with the better record, no matter the position the teams finished in their respective conferences.

Salary Cap

To be determined. Most likely we will be using the real NHL numbers and adding 2-5 million.

- Any goaltender who is over the age of twenty-two (22) and has played in more than seventy-five (75) games must clear waivers upon call up or send down.
- Any player who is over the age of twenty-eight (28) must clear waivers.
- Waiver eligibility is retroactive to the beginning of the season.
- Any unsigned waiver eligible player can begin the season in the minors. Once a player signs you have one (1) roster lock to recall this player waiver free. If you do not recall this player in that amount of time the player will be subject to waivers to remain in your minor leagues.
- NCAA and International FA's can only be claimed via the leagues annual Waiver Draft, you may not claim them through the waiver wire, unless player in question has been signed by an NHL club prior to the start of the season.
NCAA FA's must be signed by an NHL team before the first (1st) of October and no longer be in NCAA system before claim can be legally made. Sufficient proof will be required.
- Once a player is put on waivers, that player must be subject to waiver wire based on 9 pm EST using the twenty four (24) hour limit. For example:
1) Player X placed on waivers at 6 pm EST, this player will be on waivers until 9 pm EST the following day.
2) Player X placed on waivers at 8:59 pm EST, this player will be on waivers until 9 pm EST the following day.
3) Player X placed on waivers at 1 am EST on October 15th, this player will be on waivers until 9 pm EST on October 16th.. At which time any GM with required cap and roster space may sign.
- Once the waiver window has closed and no claims have been put forth the player will be assigned to minors.
- The waiver wire is subject to the waiver order. Reverse standing order of the previous season will be used until the fifteenth (15th) of November at which time the current seasons standing will abide. In our inaugural season, the reserve draft order will be used until the fifteenth (15th) of November, at which time the current seasons standings will abide.
- Once a team has successfully claimed a player they will move to the bottom of the waiver order.
- No GM is permitted to make two waiver claims in a twenty-four (24) hour period.
- Player must have a contract to be claimed.

Injured Reserve

- Teams have unlimited LTIR (Long Term Injured Reserve) & IR (Injured Reserve) spots. When placing a player on LTIR, that player must stay there for a minimum of three (3) scoring periods. When a player is on LTIR you can call-up a player that has less than or equal to the LTIR players cap hit or a combination of players that have less than or equal to LTIR players cap hit, and these called up players will assume the LTIR players cap space. If calling up a more than one (1) player, you must have the roster spots open. Players on LTIR free up their spot on the roster while on the IR.

- If a player is injured and you do not want this player to be off the roster for a minimum of three (3) scoring periods you can free his roster spot by placing him on the IR. Players on the IR do not have a minimum amount of time they must be on the IR for. Any players called up in place of players on the IR will be in addition to the IR players cap and the called up players salaries will be added to your teams salary cap.

It looks waaayyy too in depth for me. I'd like to join another keeper league but I'm looking for one that is maybe 17 to 21 rounds (depending on the amount of keepers and bench spots).

We keep all players. Who you draft is who you keep. Who you trade for is who you keep. Year in and year out. There's no "keepers" or anything like that. It looks a lot harder then it really is.

This league was cancelled. I made a few trades people didn't like so they all threatened to quit. I mean, wtf is that? Isn't that what fantasy hockey is all about? You try and build the best team you possibly can? I just can't take cry babies and whiners. I'm going to start a new league so stay tuned for that. It'll be a 24 team league where you as the GM just takes over the team you select and what they curently have on their roster/in their system. We'll have a waiver draft with the 6 leftover teams and we will have it so we can only protect 30-40 assets. I think it'll be easier, funner, and better that way. The fantasy draft was so slow and gave people an opportunity to cry their eyes out. It was truly ridiculous. Although that's a new record.. I won a fantasy league 5 ounds in to the fantasy draft!! Beat that ****ers!!

Anyway, probably after the NHL trade deadline I'll start up a new league. I'll be recruiting ACTIVE and ELITE GMs only. If you're not active, please do us a favour and don't waste our time. Also, you MUST use MSN or yahoo or communicate IM for all league talks. ALso, rule #1 will be "ABSOLUTELY NO CRYING". If you don't like a trade that was made, tough. GO make your own trades. Be a ****ing man and make your team good. Don't sit there and whine about other peoples deals.. if you don't trade, or are afraid to trade, you probably shouldn't be a fantasy hockey GM. In a league where we're taking over a team and their current roster, trading will be crucial. No time to sit on your hands. Now, I will most likely have something in place to help GMs from making "horrible" trades.. but almost NO trades will EVER be vetoed. It's not my style.. and it's not the league's I'm in style to tell a GM how to run THEIR team. If guys make bad trades.. you go out and make a good trade. It al evens out in the end in my experience.. and I've been in fantasy hockey longer then most of you have been alive, I'm sure.

Anyway, stay tuned.. my league will rule. As long as you're not a *****.. hit me up for a spot in the league!

Cheers,
Rap (the guy who won a fantasy league before it started):handclap::handclap:
