The Ottawa Senators recall Clayton Keller (19/85)* from Binghamton. I'm not sure what you've done here is 100% savvy as you held an extra player on your roster when roster space wasn't available. Under the current rules you'd have to release somebody first, add Weber to IR, recall Keller and then make a signing to occupy the empty roster spot. A free agent signing date hasn't been announced yet. Now, I wouldn't mind a change in the rules to allow going over roster limits in the off-season, it was done this way in the past and I like the idea of making cuts, trades and utilizing all draft picks that a team has available. However, I'm not for the signing of players to go over the roster limit but draft picks that send it over would be more than welcome. A 'Final Roster' submission would have to be met by a certain date. |

There have been teams in violation of the roster rules for weeks and there are still teams in violation of the roster rules as I type this message. I made an announcement awhile back addressing this issue and nobody seemed to care. I am more than happy to accommodate your request in dropping a player and making a roster spot available but I am going to hold everyone else in the league to the same standards and retroactively release draft picks that were not eligible to be drafted. |

So you've done this on purpose to make some point that doesn't actually correlate to other teams? Nobody else has made any moves that reflect the next stage of the fantasy season. Nobody should be able to make next stage moves until their roster is legal, period. Oh and by the way, you're held to a higher standard. You're the Commissioner of the NAFHL, you're meant to set the standard, someone to emulate and follow the example of. When this was brought up earlier in the off-season it was when plenty of roster space was available, 10+ spots, and you were being needlessly harsh. Semantics. Regardless, it's silly to not be able to go over the roster limits in the off-season because of draft picks. I'd rather see every single draft pick made, it should actually be a requirement, than have strict off-season roster limitations. It's simple, you can't participate in further Fantasy Hockey moves until your roster is legal.

What exactly is a "next stage move?" I would argue drafting an individual player regardless of if one has been drafted already is a "next stage move." We do not operate on a set of "stages" rather on a system that continuously checks whether or not teams are in accordance with the rules. This has been a point of contention for years in this league. In fantasy we try our best to emulate the real life NHL but it doesn't always work out. Allowing GM's to bend the rules (ie, roster manipulation) has proven detrimental in the past and I am not interested in making the same mistakes all over again. What I did was hardly "teaching someone a lesson" or an egregious manipulation of the rules, but rather a formality of Yahoo opening.

This is common sense stuff. While not explicitly stated as such, stages include the Off-Season, Regular Season & Playoffs. Some Regular Season moves include the signing of Prospects, Minor Leaguers & Free Agents post Off-Season Drafts. Another Regular Season move includes assigning injured players to the IR. There is no Injured Reserve in the Off-Season. Nobody else, despite being over roster limits, has acquired an advantage in manipulating the written rules, i.e. the utilization of a roster spot beyond the Off-Season that isn't available.
Explain to me when going over roster limits was 'detrimental' in the past? I'd argue it's detrimental now in that every draft pick a team has, or acquires, is worth something. Currently picks are wasted. Even if you don't have room you should be able to utilize the assets you have and be given an opportunity to make moves that can better your team within the Off-Season. This includes making trades and cuts. Promoting Trade Talk can only be considered positive.
As it stands now you are in violation of the written rules and are therefore cheating. If you're cool with that, fine.

Technically he has to clear waivers before he is officially assigned to my farm. But in any event... The Ottawa Senators release Dominik Kahun from Binghamton. |

But in any event... The Ottawa Senators release Dominik Kahun from Binghamton. This is only partially true. The player you drop to make room for the minor leaguer send down is protected until the minor leaguer being sent down clears waivers, however, you still have to make room and announce the player you're dropping for it to be considered a legal move. Otherwise you run into the problem of having exceeded your roster limits unless you were to post the player drop at the exact same time the minor leaguer clears waivers, which is virtually impossible. Every second that ticks by is a roster needlessly and unfairly in violation of the rules. If the minor leaguer does not clear waivers the player dropped for him will be returned to your farm team and the move will be considered a failure. |

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.
