Guest Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 I personally feel like the NTC/NMC’s should be like the NHL. You come up with a deal and approach a player and offer reasons as to why they should want to go to the team, before submitting the trade. Be it Junior familiarity, hometown, winning, etc, there should be a reason why that player would want to move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way there isn’t any sort of question of fairness or favouritism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 (edited) League Standings! on the 11sies (thanks to Rush17 for the +/- notation idea!) Metro Division ~ ~ ~ Atlantic Division ... 2054.5 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 2086.5.5 1679 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1697 1513.5 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1657.5 1590 1548 --------------------- 1486.5 +1 1458.5 -1 1422.5 1340 1220 1219 1190.5 1017.5 Central Division ~ ~ ~ Pacific Division 2127 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 2140.5 1950 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1935 1889.5 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1739.5 1828.5 1715 -------------------- 1679 1609 +1 1603 +1 1569.5 +1 1567 -3 1536 1483.5 Well, the west seems to be trying to prove its the best, but the east is still a beast. With about 45 days to go until the trade deadline and really only a small handful of clubs sinking out of playoff contention, it is really going to be a sprint finish. Team health will certainly be the pivotal issue for many, and for some clubs, waiver claims of players on expiring deals are a great way to replace hurt or KHL and AHL talent on your main squad. Also: Half the league is now on the new sheets format and has had their contract trade clauses vetted and corrected where needed. This is going fast, relative to doing every cell on every teams sheet bit by bit...; ) 15 to go, and should be done between the allstar break and the 1st of Feb. plenty of time to the deadline after that! if your team sheet tab has a team colour on it (example: DET has a bright red line on the tab), your players with clauses should all be correct. Detroit is a bad choice of example: i am tecnically just starting it but will be done tonight.

Primal Optimist Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) League Woes Considering all the stuff I am finding and fixing from just one year of operation... Brandon Pirri appears to have signed with the Sharks on July 3rd 2019 and is in fact on their team list right now BUT he also signed with Detroit on Oct 6th 2019 for 100k less than his other deal..and is in fact on that team list right now too. I will fix it in the morning: but the Oct signing is likely going to have to be voided due to the same agent signing the same player to a different club 33 days earlier. @Papa Sawce and @canuck2xtreme All in all, while this is bad news for Detroit, I am happy this is the first one I have found like this in about half the league of looking. I bet he is on both pickuphockey rosters too, earning points! hahahaha... sorry guys, don't shoot the messenger. Just finishing Detroits "clauses" hunt when i found the error..will finish up in the morning as I am done for the night. EDIT: Good morning! pleased to say this isn't such a huge deal as Detroit only registered 1 point with him, for some reason, I think because two teams have him at once it is messed up the points...but easy to fix on paper. Still a disappointment I am sure for one club. Sorry this happened. i will fix it after I talk to both GM's. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EDIT: Jan 13th Further info: I am almost done the Jets team sheet and two notable errors have been fixed: @inane. Dion Phaneuf has two clauses. A full NMC prevents him being buried in the minors, and so his full contract has been moved back to the main club. Fortunately, the Jets were already being charged 5.975 million of his contract as buried salary, and they had the roster space available, so the team is still compliant to the cap and roster rules. Secondly, Felix Sandstrom is 23 years old and therefore was ineligible for the ELC slide back in october. He has had the slide removed and this year will count towards his contracted years. That is all for now: there is no action required by inane or his Jets, the sheets have been fixed.

Primal Optimist Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 Whew: 2/3rds of the league are on new format sheets and have had their clauses checked on UFA players. 1/3rd has had a full check done as well, but those are on hold until UFA clauses are checked and new formats are in place. I am pretty sure I can sum up this phase by next Wednesday. I keep saying it but thanks for your patience folks, getting there faster than i thought. Rough order for the remaining sheets: Caps, Bolts, Nucks, Sens, then Oilers, Stars and Devils...then Sharks, Habs lastly Blackhawks, Kings, probably two a day till done? dunno till i get to it...night all! stay warm! cheers: now off for hot chocolate and a movie, cuz baby its cold outside! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primal Optimist Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Meant to do an update this morning and get three more clubs done on the sheets: but instead I shovelled for 4 hours and then got lazy. Update tomorrow AM and then hopefully a snowday to sit in the warm glow of my monitors and rip through three more teams sheets...tomorrow...for tonight it is time for WINE! ; p sweet dreams all, i guess this is my 'day off'. hahaha Side note: looking for a waiver tracker to come on board and settle in for February onwards.... light work really as the only busy period is Oct 1st..and maybe leading into the trade deadline late February Applications accepted via cdc mail: Please CC me and Stamkos together if you wish to help a bit and can check in fairly regular from Oct to March..and less regular but often from March to October. : ) Edited January 15, 2020 by Primal Optimist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 So Florida making a little dent in the standings. 4th in Fantasy points MTD. And we will have some more today. Eberle starting to find a MoJo he has not has for a year or three? And doing it with Barzal, which is fantastic news. May cost us some money, signing Barzal this summer? But a good problem to have. The big news is all the extra goalie points this year. Bishop healthy & Tristan Jarry quietly leading the NHL in save % and GAA. Already past our goalie points LY. I dont know that the play off's looking like a possibility? Changes our rebuild outlook for the year. But we may be standing pat, versus sellers at the deadline? Reward players like Chara & Pavelski who signed with us to help get us in the race... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primal Optimist Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 In keeper leagues, "sellers" is a badly misinformed word, hahaha! I guess IF you don't plan to re-sign a guy, sell away...but selling next years point earners this year in a league where every player is signed already, more or less, may be a bad idea!

For me, I think FLA has the better shot at an afterlife this season, I think the Rangers goal differential says it all. +1 to FLA's +14. EDIT: Washington done, just Bolts,in the morning, then Nucks, Sens, Oilers, Stars Devils Sharks, Habs Blackhawks, Kings to go!
