Can we have more protected players? Id like 8ish, or some teams will have ALOT of talent lost

And/or have a limit on how many players can be picked from one team. No more than 3 per team, as 4 teams, 20 per for 80 total. So that many guys from 30 teams means 3 or 2 player per team are picked up

I was thinking along the lines of protecting more players too, 8 may be pushing it though. I say 7 is the highest you could go without completely screwing over the expansion teams. But it may have to be limited to no more than 4 forwards, 2 dmen, and 1 goalie.

As for your second part, look what I wrote 10 minutes ago

Ya I hadnt read the page yet lol.

And Id say make a choice of 3-3-1, 4-2-1, or 3-2-2

Some teams may want both their tenders stil

I think this works, according to flyguy's method the draft board would look something like this. I think this definitely could work, thoughts?

Perfect, just have to be quick on the draw to eliminate the teams who have had 3 players taken from them.

 

[The Instigator]

What if you could only protect 1 player in round one, and 7 every round after? Crazy, you say?

 

[The Instigator]

Only 1 selection each team in that round.

 

[Moses Doughty]

How about No

The GMs should check first anyways

I also wanted to make an important comment:

There will be no player movements prior to the expansion draft. The roster we present is going to be the most up-to-date roster the actual NHL team has used once the game has officially commenced.

Let me explain my reason why: You can send down all of your players on two way contracts and use those 6 protected players for ones that you can't bury in the minors. It is circumventing the draft and that's definitely not right.

AGAIN, WHEN I SAY THE GAME HAS BEGUN THOSE ARE THE ROSTERS YOU ARE USING. THERE WILL BE NO PLAYER MOVEMENT PRIOR TO THE DRAFT. I will check also to see if someone is hiding people.

 

[New York RKY]

Also Of Note:

There Will Be No Forward Movement In The Game Until I See 34 Rosters In The Roster Thread Filled At Least With Rosters.

 

[New York RKY]

I have no idea where I am going to get 7 more people

 

[coz21]

is mine and thanks

 

[Moses Doughty]

Eww its Kzoz

Youre welcome haha

 

[coz21]

since lombardi isn't on LTIR do I need to protect him to keep him or do we only have to protect players currently in the lineup

 

[New York RKY]

since lombardi isn't on LTIR do I need to protect him to keep him or do we only have to protect players currently in the lineup

If he isn't in the everyday lineup recently then he is not available to be picked up. He is considered injured technically anyways, just not on the IR. If he has been playing games lately then that's a different story, he would be available.

 

[Moses Doughty]

Ya man hes out for a while. I even asked the Preds board bout him last week

 

[New York RKY]

I was just going to say, your best bet is to go onto your teams' section on HF Boards and look at the last 1 or 2 GDT's and use the roster on there. That would probably be the easiest way.

 

[New York RKY]

After we finish assigning the final GM spots expect there to be a poll for number of protected players.

Start thinking about it now. No need to post your opinions now, I will make a thread for it when the time is right. Choices are going to be 6, 7, or 8.

So start thinking about it.

 

[Backlund]

If he isn't in the everyday lineup recently then he is not available to be picked up. He is considered injured technically anyways, just not on the IR. If he has been playing games lately then that's a different story, he would be available.

So I wouldn't need to protect Kane?

 

[coz21]

So I wouldn't need to protect Kane?

Pretty sure he's back

 

[New York RKY]

So I wouldn't need to protect Kane?

Hasn't Kane been back in the lineup for a little while or is he still out?

 

[Backlund]

Hasn't Kane been back in the lineup for a little while or is he still out?

On their website it still says he is on IR

 

[scrappylilnobody]

So I wouldn't need to protect Whitney nor Eberle? Eberle is only out about ten days while I believe Whitney's injury is more serious.

 

[coz21]

He played last night.

Then do the Islanders have anyone left to protect?

I have no issues with this myself, seeing as Spezza is out for a few weeks... but where is the line? Like, Kovalev's been out for the past two-three games but should be back within the week. Is he okay to take, or do I have to keep him?

As long as thy haven't been in any games then you are fine. If any player has playes within by last day or two then they do count.

Maybe this will help. Think of it more like a snapshot of one game in a season of 82. The way to keep this expansion draft as simple as possible is this: go to your teams most recent GDT and just pull the roster from there. Don't worry about any injuries. To keep it simple, if they aren't in the roster for that most recent game then don't worry about them.

Let me just give one aimple example. On the Rangers Dale Weise is splitting time with Kris Newbury. If I get the roster and Weise is the player sitting out that game then I don't have to worry about him, aka I'm using the most recent roster. Hope this helps guys.
