thejazz97 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 We have an announcement to make... In a WWE-like turn of events, @SidneyRaymond is returning for roughly a week to be the AGM of the Edmonton Oilers to help transition his team fully into @Matthews' control. For roughly the next week or so, please include both in any correspondence towards Edmonton. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make Draisaitl, Borgstrom, Zibanajed, Kylington, Eriksson Ek, Brandon Saad, Issac Lundestrom available for play off warriors? Take the highway, frought with speeding opportunities to crash; Trade Evander Kane, Radulov, Tuukka Rask, Noah Hanifin for youth, speed, skill, cap savings. Inquiries in all directions welcome! Leaning towards being a buyer. Simple Hockey trades? So your broadcast isn't forgotten on the bottom of last page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relyt Krets Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 So I was going to see playoffs through, and try to win it all this year, BUT, It is with some sadness that I will be resigning as the GM of the Vancouver Canucks. Quite happy with the team I built and how much of a contender this team has been/is, but my heart is just not in the league anymore. We will keep it at that. Thanks to @Master Mind for inviting me to join the league. It was fun while it lasted. Thanks all 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watermelons Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Potentially interested in shaking things up leading into the deadline. Anyone on a non-playoff team is available for trade! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inane Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Florida going into the deadline BOLD is on the block Hyman - Monahan - Oshie Lucic - Coleman - Rakell Van Riemsdyk - Sissons - Kahun Bertuzzi - Kempe - Eberle Smith - Janmark - Acciari Baertschi - Aston-Reese - Leivo Greenway - Zykov - Kerfoot Forbort - Lindell Lindholm - Vatanen Zaitsev - Hickey Reilly Grubauer Bernier Binnington (he's killing it!) Lots of interest in Oshie and Sissons so far, but no one ready to pull the trigger. If that's you -- Hit me up!! Obvious need is on the blue line.

canuckledraggin Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thank God Koivu is out for the season. I was starting to worry that I was going to have less than 4 players on LTIR this season 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Greer got called up this morning and was put in the lineup to play a whopping 4 minutes and 11 seconds. What is the point? Is Colorado doing this on purpose to get my hopes up? Because I’ve caught on to this mischief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inane Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Have had a number of serious offers on Oshie, I expect to move him today. Sissons, Hyman and Zaitsev have also drawn interest and I hope to move them shortly. Always interested in hearing from GM's with ideas/offers!

Popular Post Salter Posted February 8, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hello, all! The goal of fantasy hockey is to create a fun, somewhat realistic, exaggeration of the sport we all know and love. The commissioner team has recently been discussing certain rule changes/additions to the league, and realized it is hard to decide on behalf of 31 individuals. We have come up with the idea to have the GM's be able to submit, and vote on potential changes/adjustments to the league. Our goal is to create a fun environment that best suites the majority, if not all of the members. We encourage all GM's to either reply to this post, or PM the commissioner team an idea that would help create an exciting, well structured league. Whether it be fun and outlandish, or integral and will increase realism. We want to hear anything that the GM's would enjoy. We will be taking suggestions starting now, until Saturday, March 2nd. The commissioner team is going to comb through any suggestions and do an internal vote on whether or not it would be viable to the current league setup (we do not want anything game breaking). We also plan on engaging with the GM who suggested it for more details and possible adjustments to make it work. Following the deadline, a link to a survey will be posted in the thread for a week, for the GM's to vote on all of the potential changes. Let us know what you would like to see!

There are other leagues already on CDC that emulate, as much as possible, to be more realistic. Having a league like Puck is what sets it apart, as I don’t think there are any others on CDC like it. If it were to be more realistic, it would be up against other leagues that already have that formula locked down. Puck would be in for an uphill climb. As for what else it could do? Not sure. But I do know that trying to add realism wouldn’t be in this particular league’s best interest. A few GMs and I referred to Puck as “The Wild West” of fantasy hockey. It’s a nice break. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the increase in offense, now there isn't a single goalie in the top-10 scoring players this season. Last year there were 2, the year prior, 3. Perhaps an extra 2 points for a shutout? 2) Slightly more points for a goal than an assist, maybe just 0.5 more. 3) Rosters shouldn't be illegal if you have less than 23 players. You should just need 20, like RL. Would give teams another option for cap flexibility. 4) Two roster goalies should be required at all times. 5) Still like the idea of maximum games played, to limit the ability to have an army of waiver-ineligible players coming up and down. Although, the new 125GP rule will help curb that a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Totally agree with this league being completely different because of the relaxed or “easy” rules. Keep it that way. 1) Contract negotiations should take into account playoff value. Abdelkader produced over 4 pts/g last year, but I wasn’t able to give him away for free. That’s absurd. 2) Reduce contract max lengths to 5 years. 3) For NCAA drafted players only, have a new contract type that counts towards your 50, but is not a ELC. You can’t collect points and no salary is negotiated. For me, Tyler Inamoto won’t sign an nhl contract for atleast another year. But I have to burn atleast 1 maybe 2 years of his ELC to keep his rights with no chance of him playing in the NHL. It’s different than CHLer/AHLers. Not a fan 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombastik der Teutone Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 How about adding points for Shots on Goal? 0,2 or 0,25 pts per shot fo an example? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But going too far down that road is a slippery slope. RL teams suddenly surge or go off a cliff, and players get traded. But contracts are often lasting. 2) I like that idea a lot.
