RGMG 6.0 - Season 16

Zfetch · December 28, 2020

Good job team. You did a dandy regular season job in the WOAT division.

Last year we faced @Time Lord and his NYR, narrowly escaping their well oiled engine in a Game 7 OT of the 2nd round thanks to hero Kim Immonen

Times change and heroes often emerge from the shadows...

The Penguins call up Sigi Hauptman, Brody Guhle, Dakota Young and Vasili Marcou to prepare for this war.

We hope reinforcements will not be necessary but we will be prepared for anything.

Best of luck my amigo @Time Lord

Eastern Conference Round 1 Preview

#1 Montreal Canadiens vs. #8 Buffalo Sabres

@Alain Vigneault @Bombastik der Teutone

Spoiler

Can German GM Bomba and his playoff warriors solve generational goalie Tristan Deschamps? The chances are considerably slim, but anything can happen once Bomba gives Sabres goaltender Octavian Bumbescu and his players their daily dosage of beer, boobs and butts.

#2 New Jersey Devils vs. #7 Washington Capitals

@kj29 @Baer.

Spoiler

Will the Capitals' late trade deadline acquisitions be enough to push them over the edge? Probably not, especially against the Metropolitan "Meme" Division winner, but it is about time to see what superstar Connor McDavid can do in the playoffs after leaving stinky Edmonton.

#3 Pittsburgh Penguins vs. #4 New York Rangers

@Zfetch @Time Lord

Spoiler

Another classic playoff battle between two Metropolitan powerhouses. If it goes all the way to Game 7 OT again, Penguins GM Zfetch may well send busted defensemen Dalibor Mlinar and Anthony MacMaster to the chopping board, which won't be a pretty sight to see at all.

#5 Toronto Maple Leafs vs. #6 Boston Bruins

@Mikeyboy440 @inane

Spoiler

A timeless playoff duel between a Bingo Hall King and an ageless legend. My bets are on the defending Stanley Cup Champions Toronto Maple Leafs, but who knows what Bruins GM inane has hiding in his big box of tricks that he has been collecting for over a thousand years.

Western Conference Round 1 Preview

#1 Arizona Coyotes vs. #8 Colorado Avalanche

@Zigmund.Palffy @Vrienzy

Spoiler

After a cheesy Pacific Division team swap, Coyotes GM ZP finds himself atop the Western Conference. On the other hand, Avalanche GM Jon somehow sneaked into the playoffs, beating out a dejected Qwogan. The word is that Coyotes GM ZP is secretly planning to lockdown his opponent and force Jon into submission — stay tuned!

#2 Chicago Blackhawks vs. #7 Minnesota Wild

@Patrick Kane @BoKnows

Spoiler

There is nothing Blackhawks GM PK wants more than a Game 7 livestream of his own, and with a terrorizing trio of JE cronies — Alexandre Texier, Pavel Zacha and Damon Severson — I believe that his chances of winning Game 7 are high. Perhaps some BOG cheese is in the works to finally break the Blackhawks' 1st round exit curse...

#3 Edmonton Oilers vs. #4 Vancouver Canucks

@Nail @dough teeth

Spoiler

Commissioner and Oilers GM Nail spent the offseason building a team of 20 speed fellas in a flurry of extra cheesy and stinky trades that almost pushed trade tracker Kaz into perpetual purgatory. This will be a closely contested playoff series — a Nail-biter, indeed. We will have to wait and see if speed equals playoff success in RGMG.

#5 Winnipeg Jets vs. #6 Dallas Stars

@Monty @Kobayashi Maru

Spoiler

Though the Dallas Stars did not perform as well as they have in past seasons, it is extremely difficult to bet against the playoff monster that is Jimmy McGill with his RGMG cheat codes. If it goes all the way to Game 7, you already know who will show up to play at Jets GM Monty's doorstep, ready to obliterate anyone that steps in his way.

Winnipeg Jets Awards

All go to Deb, because my team sucked this year.

Nail · December 28, 2020

As mentioned before on Discord, there will be a few rule changes that will be coming into place.

DRAFT -

Players will now be ranked 1 through 135. The draft range column will be eliminated, and teams yolo'ing will have the ability to go for a "safer" pick that is higher up in the rankings or a "riskier" pick that is lower in the rankings. The team column will not be used.
For players ranked 31 through 135, one of their height or weight columns will be hidden. Teams may unlock this column while using their draft scouts on this player. Once a player is drafted, all info will be made available on the sheet.

PERKS -

All teams may now receive both appys, and can request both a depth chart and top prospects list whenever they wish. I will only be sending them out if they are requested.
To account for double the appys, teams will now only get one protein to use per season.
There will be no more internal/external scouting or asking for any individual attributes on the questions. This means the choices for the one protein are: Extra Draft Scouts, 1 Comp Report, 10 Questions, or a Position Change. As you may notice, I am trying to eliminate the reliance on attributes or rating, and make things based off of actual gameplay more.

FREE AGENCY -

Players signed to contracts in Free Agency that are unwaivable (over 2M) may not be traded until the beginning of February of the following season. Players that are re-signed to contracts that are unwaivable may still be traded at the 20 game mark.
Starting in the 2029-30 offseason, Nail has the ability to force pending UFAs to walk to free agency if he deems that they are being underutilized in terms of icetime and opportunity (PP time, etc.). I could have implemented this right away however I will give teams a years notice that this may occur. Any decisions that Nail makes will be binding and the player will automatically go to free agency.
