An issue was raised as to whether or not rosters should be locked once the playoffs begin. As this is a league wide decision, everyone will need to weigh in on their opinion, otherwise the rule will remain as it is (no roster restriction). The three options are as follows:
"As-Is" meaning there arent any limitations placed on the rosters. Managers are free to add/drop, call up/ send down as they normally would during the regular season.
"Locked" meaning the roster you start the playoffs with is the roster you have until the playoffs commence; No add/drops, No Call Up/Send Downs.
"Restricted" you are free to use your full roster at your disposal. Call Ups/ Send Downs are allowed, however no Free Agents may be signed during the Playoffs.

I'd say leave it as is. This is why we build a farm, injuries are to occur, in a keeper people won't add/drop in suspicious ways because of the threat of losing players, etc. Although I don't really have an issue with the restricted terms. I just don't think we should have a totally locked roster because it doesn't emulate the real NHL. My preference would be to keep it as is.

I went with restricted although my real feeling is for locked to try and be reasonable and compromise. My attitudes about this subject are well documented.

restricted if a team wants to drop a player then so be it that player is now available in the waiver draft

Missed this thread. I went with "As is", but come to think of it, either unlocked format works for me. A team should be allowed to manage their team in the playoffs and make moves based on injuries, lines, slumps, etc. Forcing them to use their farm seems like it might be unfair to some teams. For example, maybe a team has signed mostly young non-NHL ready prospects... although I don't know if anyone's team fits this description. Either way I guess, can't fully lock the teams.

My teams like that I just think there should be a limit put on the moves you can make you dont want to have guys just adding/dropping players daily because they're people available that are roster players and will gain them points. |

The restricted roster is restricted for that reason exactly. It rewards those managers who have taken the time to craft a skilled farm team and keep up on it regularly. Also, please be advised that with "restricted" rosters, you MAY put in waiver claims should an opposing team try (be stupid enough) to send a minor leaguer down to the farm during the playoffs. This is the ONLY way you can acquire players other than your own. All transactions must be a result of each managers respective farm. no FREE AGENTS may be signed. I hope this clears up any confusion. |

So exciting.
You better make that pick or trade it! I'm excited to see if we can use up all the draft picks this year.
