Tristan always finds a way to piss me off when I'm going for a shutout
Slight rule change due to InfinityIggy pointing out a loophole in our "prospect wood-chipper" rule.
In order to cut prospects loose, they cannot be on your roster at the time. In addition, they may not be added to that team's roster for a period of 24 hours following the announcement.
This is designed to prevent a GM from gaining an extra fourth-round pick for "cutting loose" two full-time NHLers on his roster.
EDIT: I went to put this rule change into the official rules and realized it was already there (except the rule is one week, not 24 hours). So clearly I saw II and his conniving, devious schemes coming a mile away.

if you cut loose 2 prospects you get a 4th round pickI don't think I've really looked at that wood chipper method but could you explain to me the effects? Like why would someone want to cut loose an NHLer that had prospect rights rather than just keep them?

No I get that part.
But the loophole was based on having the prospect on your roster and then cutting them. But why would you end the rights on your prospect early just to gain a 4th round pick?
in the case where their prospect eligibility is about to end is my guessNo I get that part.

II was thinking there was a way to do it without losing the prospect. So he thought there was a way to essentially gain a free 4th round pick without giving anything up.
Oh nvm you didn't alter anything recently, the rule itself was in place earlier.
I mean the only scenario I saw was that you cut a prospect right, wait a week and hope nobody notices. Then pick him up again to get the 4th round pick, assuming your keepers suck and use a keeper pick on him and gain a 4th round PP.
On that note, wouldn't this woodchipping business make more sense if you could only do it prior to the draft? Kind of like players re-entering the draft but in our case the team gets compensated for it?
Anyways jsut a thought.
It would if I was looking to restrict people to only cutting busts, but I'm okay with it being used to cut guys who just aren't good enough. It's not as though the fourth round picks have much of a shot at turning out, so I don't think this has much of an effect at all. This way, people can cut one bust and one bubble player at the same time as the bubble player approaches game 100.
UC I look forward to what will surely be an epic battle next week. Cheers!
I predict it will look something like this
