For simplicity and speed we can just rule that any unsigned FAs sign for one more year at the same cap hit.

I'm of course in as CBJ again. Free agency seems like something of a nightmare to be honest. What happens if someone offers a guy 7 years $49M but another person offers $17M over 2 years? Who does the player choose? The higher average cap hit or the more guaranteed money? Is someone going to throw the teams into FHM and simulate a few seasons to see what happens? I haven't played it in a while, but I've heard it's improved markedly and last time around I built a team for the future expecting this to go on for a few years.

I am telling you guys right now, I have no issue with offering Vanek $9 million a year, if it means that I get him and you guys don't. It's pretend money!

I thought we were supposed to wait until after free agency because nobody wanted to do free agents. That's still a month away. Still, some of you obsessives should join my EHM league like I keep saying. Or post playoff stats. Drunk Canuck will laugh away with his Kopitar pick.

Yes I'd still like to do this, but maybe starting mid-July because pretend signing free agents is going to be dumb. We gotta kill the long, hockeyless days of summer somehow. eXXon posted:Still, some of you obsessives should join my EHM league like I keep saying. Or post playoff stats. Drunk Canuck will laugh away with his Kopitar pick. Didn't EHM cap the game at 15 total GMs thus removing the possibility of a pure human run NHL? With that said I've sunk hundreds of hours of my life into EHM, and while I haven't touched it in a couple years, I'd be down to give it another shot if the modding community at The Blueline is still going strong.

eXXon posted:The purpose is e-peen. tiny tiny e-peen When this was originally conceived the idea was to plug all the rosters into EHM/FHM and see what happened. However FHM turned out to be a piece of hot garbage and nothing ever came from it. I built a dynamic young team thinking I'd be competitive seriously in 2 or 3 years, not a win now veteran superstar team. If I'd thought points and goals for 2013/14 had been the only goal I'd have taken players like Iginla, Thornton, etc. and not Tyler Toffoli.

I don't even care if we all just compare rosters again, I just want to be clear on what we're doing so I know what my draft strategy is. e: If we do do this I think it would be fun to be able to trade draft picks. We could add compensatory picks after the whole thing is done if someone trades two picks for 1 (i.e someone trades the 29th and 99th overall picks for the 15th overall pick, then once all the teams are done there is a mini draft of the remaining players for people with less players than everyone else to make sure everyone has the same size roster). It'll be fun to see who values top end talent over depth. ThinkTank fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Jul 3, 2014 |

we should honestly just have every team get fully constructed, open it up to argument for a week or two (can get a lot of mileage out of this) and then hold a vote for "best constructed nhl team" taking into account pretty much all factors, present and future a better way to accumulate people's rosters and stuff would be nice though. i never really participated in the final presentation and construction because by the time we got there, i had burned out on drafting canucks echl third liners

Even though we didn't end up doing it, I think trying to fill out a NHL and minor team was too ambitious. I think we should just stick to a 23 man roster this time, or maybe a little larger than that if you want to have a few slots for prospects and theoretical injury callups.

I think we can just assume that non-prospect fourth liners will be signed to fill out our rosters. I wouldn't mind doing something with he rosters once we're done, but I enjoy the draft process for its own sake. Gives a sense of how everyone would build their teams, what priorities they have, and colors my perception of some of their posts because I have a better sense of where they're coming from. And its fun to talk hockey.

Context sensitive timing? 6 hours to make a pick if it's between 10am and 10pm EST? 12 hours otherwise. I know there are some Euros who did this last time, but most are still probably from NA. We can give Euros a pass as long as they're reasonable. Really, just don't consistently be slow and that eliminates a lot of the problems we had. I changed a few things. We really tailed off when we got to the AHL guys, so I've settled at 25 picks. You still need a minimum of 12F, 6D, 2G, but you could assume that your team will sign GENERIC AHL/NHL PLUG to fill out your fourth line if you want to get prospects. The other big change is that you can draft anyone who is property of an NHL team. That means no AHL only contract guys, but it also means you can draft NHL-drafted prospects who have not been signed yet. For salary cap purposes though, we'll assume any unsigned guys sign for the appropriate ELC (I'll link the cba stuff for that). Those changes ok? Should cut the draft earlier, but add in an interesting wrinkle. quote:Blatently stolen OP: Fantasy Draft ROUND TWO I'm gonna pick up the franchise hockey manager and run the teams through that as well, but as last time, this is really just for fun. Don't draft to game that (apparently) broken program.

Same teams as last year pretty much or are we claiming new ones? Either way I'm sticking with the Blue Jackets. I think this deserves a new thread too considering this one is already 156 pages long.

I think ianss/brodeur's fanny pack isn't in this time so I'll do the Devils. Yeah I would prefer we fill out the entire roster but if the consensus is the other way that's cool. Most 4th line/scratches are going to be unfilled because why take a plug when you can take a prospect.
