Bryce, great job with the interactive rulebook! It's super-convenient and spelled out real well. Really great job.

-In order to play in the minors, a player 23 and under MUST have played at least 5 AHL games in the prior year. This is to avoid stashing elite young guys on ELC’s in the minors. Does this apply to players who signed late last season upon finishing junior who exclusively played with an NHL club afterwards? Example: Casey Wellman. Played full NCAA season, signed with the Wild, and played 12 remaining games in the NHL last season with no games in the AHL. www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=99417Does this mean he must be on my pro roster or pass through waivers before being sent to the minors?

aha, good one. I will put a modification in to that rule. Stating that if a player played less than 20 games total combined at AHL/NHL, he can bounce up and down freely (if he is a rookie or 23 or younger and under 1.5 million)

I thought we weren't worried about the web links any more. As long as a forward plays in another forward position, it shouldn't matter, right? One won't typically play a winger with a 50 FO rating as a centre. A surplus centre might be called upon to play the wing if there are holes there. A LW should be able to play the opposite wing without too much difficulty too. I think you only need to worry about a link if say a D man (Mathieu Dandenault for example) is needed to play a forward spot. I sure hope the Bruins are wrong about this assumption regarding player positions/roster management. I strongly believe that players should stick to their natural positions as per refutable sources. After all, pretending to be GMs, coaches, and scouts by doing the neccessary research on players and prospects is all part of the experience.

I agree.
I like the fact that you need to have a link to have that forward play that position. I've been making deals all summer and making all kinds of depth charts based on where players can and can't play.
I would hate to see it go the other way. It should be a challenge running a team, trying to find the right combination of players, not just amassing the best 12 forwards you can get your hands on.

This is to avoid stashing elite young guys on ELC’s in the minors ...if this is the rule then Florida should not have Kyle Okposo,Erik Johnson,Pat Eaves or TJ Oshie in the minors...this was done so they could match Backstrom...
..it will also prevent LA from matching my offer for Rehger...

I believe you are correct that Okposo, EJ, Oshie can't go to the farm, however, Eaves is over 23 yrs old, so he can go....
In addition, in the Finances and Salary Cap article, it states: "During the post-season the salary cap is removed altogether."
So i can see your strategy in picking on the RFA's of cap-tight teams in the hopes that they won't match your RFA offer sheet, however, it's flawed....(and also somewhat unfriendly)
So my interpretation of the rules is that teams can go over the cap during the offseason, however, when they are over the cap, they are restricted by what they can do.....such as not being able to make FA bids that put them over the cap. I don't believe it says anywhere about how being able to match RFA offer sheets is a restriction while over the cap during the offseason.

After all, pretending to be GMs, coaches, and scouts by doing the neccessary research on players and prospects is all part of the experience. I was told last season that we weren't holding teams to finding links. I'm just paraphrasing . . . In the NHL, coaches will try different players in different positions depending on team depth, the player's ability, etc. A player like Dustin Byfuglien was a D in junior but has had success as a forward. How would it look if an NHL coach said, "Hey kid, I want to play you at LW tonight but the league says I can't because I don't have any proof that you've ever played there. I'm screwed without some document that says you're a LW. Can you call your old coaches to see if they have any old gamesheets?" An NHL coach goes with his knowledge, his experience or sometimes his gut and makes a coaching decision. He has to live by them too if he messes up. In the NHL, wingers are often ask to switch sides and players do so without any real loss of performance. Why should SIM hockey be any different? Why should a team be penalized if he has 5 RW and only 3 LW and the extra can't play LW because there's no link saying he's played there before? I already mentioned that a winger with a 50 FO rating would suck as a C so I don't think any smart GM will try to play Donald Brashear there, for example. Centres often get put on the wing though and they adapt well typically because a) they are better skaters and puckhandlers b) they think the game a little better than players who have played their whole careers on the wing. An NHL coach doesn't ask the league for permission to move a player there. He reacts to the problem at hand and uses his best judgement. Again, I'm not advocating that all players be free to play anywhere a GM feels like moving them (i.e. moving a F to D full time). Common sense has to rule here but I don't think we should always have to be restricted to finding the links every time we want to swap wingers.

as unfreindly as RFA is its not personal....
...also I believe there was a decision made to keep teams below the cap during this offseason regarding FA...I may be wrong though
