Especially if it means a Winnipeg/Colorado matchup can't happen in the first two rounds. Its an annual event, we have to make sure it comes true esp in the year that Drai is finally in the playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 A key thing to remember is that PIMs are only worth 50% of what they are worth in the regular season, so they won't be as powerful in the playoffs. I'd like to see to what extent these "exhibition games" are between the teams with byes before considering including the points or not. If they are for competitive seeding, it wouldn't be a bad idea to include these then. If we wanted to combine points for both rounds, we'd either be using all of Round 1 or none of Round 1.

Primal Optimist Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) On 5/21/2020 at 6:20 PM, Nail said: Well another thing I'm curious to know is if the teams eliminated in the play-in round automatically get picks 8-15. If they do, I think there'll be some teams who wouldn't even want to participate in the play-in round here... Just a quick thought on "want to participate". The real hockey world doesn't have an option for "nah, we will skip the playoffs this year". Well they do but its called "so we fired the GM and the Coach". I guess I just find it funny to spend a year or even two or three years being bad on purpose to have a better shot at winning in year 4 or 5 in a "paper league" of fantasy hockey. I know they do it in real life from time to time because: profits. But does anyone really look at tankers who win years later as being super genius? Curious what others thoughts on it are... not for any policy reason, but just curious why anyone plays to lose in a fantasy game. Although I never understood using cheat codes to "win" at video games. For me it really is a losers game to head down the alley of workarounds versus genuine ability without needing workarounds. Oh and hey all, hope everyone is healthy and happy and fed. Edited May 25, 2020 by Primal Optimist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nail Posted May 27, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2020 Very awesome to hear the plan put forward in the NHL today, we can follow through with some of our plans that we will be proceeding with now! Every team will submit a playoff roster with a maximum of 23 players, as well as a list for black aces. As per usual, black aces can be swapped into your lineup in between rounds. Play-in round points will be counted during the play-in round in the NHL, as well as the Round Robin for the top 4 teams in the NHL. These will be the only games that we count play-in round points for. Playoff scoring structure will apply on Pickup The top 4 teams in each conference will also submit rosters for the play-in round. I am waiting to hear how the NHL plans to run their round robin for seeding, but it will be very likely that our top 4 teams will be battling for seeding as well in the play-in round. Best producing bye team would get the #1 seed for Round 1 and so on. Draft lottery and draft order will mirror IRL, we'll match up the Team A, Team B, Team C, etc in a similar way to the NHL should we need to in a second draft lottery. I do have some trades in my inbox, like previous years, they will be posted once both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention. Lastly, congratulations to @Master Mind's Winnipeg Jets on winning the Presidents Trophy! If anyone has any other questions, feel free to reach out. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLahey Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Nice to see hockey back soon. By my estimates @Monty will be bounced out at the end of July per tradition With this, to the surprise of no one, New York Rangers waive Brendan Leipsic with the intent of terminating his contract due to disparaging comments made on social media. https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/capitals-place-leipsic-waivers-purpose-terminating-contract/ @Nail if I cannot make this now, no worries.

Master Mind Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 This is not how I anticipated winning the Presidents Trophy, but I'll take it. If you want our entire playoff rosters now, here's mine, although I'll surely be calling up black aces when the round of 16 begins. Miller - Bjugstad - Kucherov Barbashev - Sissons - Tanev Carrier - Bellemare - Dowd Johnston - Poehling - Wagner Czarnik Carlson - Weber Letang - Ekblad Graves - DeMelo Bortuzzo - Lyubushkin Fleury Campbell Black Aces Spoiler Danick Martel, Alexandre Fortin, Daniel Zaar, Tomas Hyka, Connor Clifton, Scott Harrington, Jake Dotchin, Maxime Lagace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Quick math on my main roster shows every player will be in the playoff/playdowns in some regard. I am guaranteed to have a minimum of 12 make the found of 16 after the playdown round of 24 I know I have at least 4 minor leaguers who will see playdown ice time. THis is suddenly very interesting. I wonder how Chicago shapes up for the best of 5? hehehe..... Inside the spoiler I have 28 playdown bound NHL players and another 8 in the minors on those 24 NHL teams. I will have to wait to hear how we will earn points: maybe the bye round players don't count? which would make them black aces for the round of 24...or if they do count for points then the lower depth guys i guess will be black aces. Either way, a good problem to have! Playoff Stucture for 24 team ?

Similar to other players with slightly different situations, you'll be unable to terminate Leipsic unless he retires or signs in Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
