Nooks Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 in OT what happens if a PK is called? 3v3 still or a 3v2? I didn't watch canucks tonight btw. It goes to 4v3 then 4v4 when he gets out to the net whistle...Gimmicky, I like how the BCHL does it where a penalty 3v3 is a penalty shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta76 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Why is save percentage still listed as a decimal? Honestly is kills me. His save percentage is not .925, it's 92.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do the same with batting average, so blame baseball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can express a proportion as a percentage, but only after multiplying by 100 or by, as you mentioned, letting 1 = 100. The latter seems unnecessarily more complicated though, and I think baseball should be blamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubik Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Won't you explain me the main expressions of trades, signings, contracts, like UFA, RFA,NTC, waving ntc, put sy on waiver, 2 way contract and so on. I've read the Wiki articles, but I didn't manage to understand the whole thing because of my poor English, so would you be so kind to explain me, like telling to a child... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read the Wiki articles, but I didn't manage to understand the whole thing because of my poor English, so would you be so kind to explain me, like telling to a child... :D There are a lot of terms and they're not always easy to understand for sure. I'm not sure I know all of them enough to explain, but I can take a crack. UFA means "unrestricted free agent." It means that a player is currently not under contract by any team and no team currently has the "rights" to him. Basically that just means that any team in the league can talk to and sign him. RFA means "restricted free agent" which, as I understand it, means that though the player is not currently under a valid contract the team that he last had a contract with has "rights" to him, meaning they get priority to talk to the player and try to sign him. It's intended to help protect teams who put a lot of time and effort into developing young players by giving them a certain amount of time after the player enters the league in which they get every chance to keep him on their roster if they want him. NTC means "no trade clause." That means that a player has a clause in their existing contract that prevents or restricts trades. Without one, a player can be traded at any time to any team in the league. That can make players feel insecure, especially those with families. As a result, many top players ask for some version of a NTC so that they can have more control over if trades happen and to where. Some players have full NTC which means they can not be traded at any time to any team unless they agree (known as "waiving their NTC"). Other players have a limited NTC which limits the specific teams that they can be traded to. I don't think there's a specific rule about it but it seems like most players with a limited NTC (as well as those agreeing to waive a full NTC) usually give a list of about 5 teams they are willing to be traded to. It basically gives players more control over where they can be sent, allowing them the chance to pick only good teams so they can have a chance to win a Cup and/or pick areas where their family wouldn't mind living. For example, many players put their home state/province on the list so they could live closer to family. A 2-way contract means the player can be sent down to the team's minor league affiliate. (For the Canucks, that's the Utica Comets.) A 1-way contract means that the player must remain on the NHL team's roster, so the team's choice is to either play them or sit them in the press box. I believe, however, that there is an exception for conditioning stints in the minors for players with 1-way contracts but that can only be to help them get back into game shape and not long-term. I don't know what it is off the top of my head, but I'm sure there's a time limit. Putting a player on waiver means that you are sending them down to the minors at a time when they're not protected from waivers. If you want to know the rules governing waivers you'll have to find someone smarter than me to explain it. Basically all you really need to know is if a player is placed on waivers the team that placed them is taking the risk of losing them as, for a short window, every other team (starting with the bottom team in the league and working upward I believe) has a chance to "claim" them off waivers, meaning that they will take the player and their entire contract as it stands. The intention of the waiver system is to help players who would have otherwise been sent to the minors get a chance to play in the NHL for another team. Unfortunately, as we recently saw when Toronto pick up Corrado off of waivers that's not always the case. Some in fact are clamoring (rightly) for a change in the system to require teams that pick up a player off waivers to play him within a certain amount of time or else pay a penalty or forfeit the player entirely. It's simply against the entire purpose of waivers to pick up a player and not let him play in the NHL. A player that "clears waivers" was not picked up by any other team and is sent to the minor league affiliate of the team that originally placed him on waivers. I hope that helps. And hopefully others can help correct any misinformation or add any important information I left out.

Gretzky to Lemieux Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 How many picks do we have in the 2016 draft? And which teams do some of the picks previously belonged to? For example, we gave Anaheims second to pittsburgh in the Sutter trade but we also got a 3rd back, but I'm confused whos 3rd this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
