eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

It's that time again.  If  you have ideas for rule changes or alterations to existing rules, feel free to post them here, and if there's reasonable support and has well thought out and doable ways to impliment them, they'll go to majority wins vote by GMs.

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

I'd like to suggest 4 minor alterations to the activity rewards points:

  • 000-[b]040[/b] points - GM fired
  • 041-070 points - 15(nth) pick
  • 071-100 points - 1 Weak Team Removal Point
  • 101-130 points - 1 Unretire Point
  • 131-160 points - [b]25 PE points[/b]
  • 161-190 points - [b]20 CON points[/b]
  • 191-220 points - [b]15 LE points[/b]
  • 221+ points       - 10 POT points

Since Atlanta, who sent in no lines, had no live appearances and no articles, came within 2 points of the 30-point minimum, the "fire" minimum should be raised to 40, which would probably be a tough number to hit without at least a few lines (consider that PHI had the most in-game points with 43).  Also, 10 points for PE, CON and LE seems rather low, so I raised each one so it's a 5-point decrement for each of the 4 "player points" rewards.

This will only come into effect for the 2015-16 activity claims, meaning if you don't use your points for 2014-15 until this is approved, you can still only use them for the current rules anyway.

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

For me, one thing to add would be GM recruitment reward... it's really tough to get the OPEN teams filled so i'd be willing to reward someone who helps in that effort... it can be part of the Activity counter or we can come up with something esle...

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

That sounds reasonable, but I'd like to add that LE, CON, and PE should be a max of 80

Agree with Bob.

Also, did we already bump up the cap to $60 mil?

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

I also agree with Bob.

Even if u raise the POT and CON to 8X, the 60Mil cap limits how many players you can even do this to.

I experienced this problem in Marc (former Lightning GMs) league where I had so many top guys some had to be released to stay under the cap. Admittedly it was poor financial management on my part but its easy to make that mistake.

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

I don't often pull rank, but this would be one exception where I would.  POT jumps would always be limited to 1x per year and only to a max of 7x.  As soon as you allow 8x POT jumps, you risk running into a lot of crap, especially since the league is already getting a little swamped with talent.  If you have 700 guys that are 8x POT, then what's the point of drafting 7x and below POT players?

As for CON, I'd put a limit to 74 CON for players younger than 25, as to stop CON jumping players up to a POT jump, and then a limit of 80 for players 25 and older.

LE and PE are probably best at 70 limits, but I could compromise to 75.  80 still seems high, since that's right around the best natural players currently in the file...

Lastly, the Cap is currently at 60M, but I still would prefer seeing it at $55M, at least for a couple more seasons.  The other day, I took a look at current salary numbers for each team, and the average is $54 208 283.33.  I think it's unfair for teams like Chicago and Nashville to have 5M extra space and hoard players while teams like Atlanta and Minnesota have crappy players.

I'd like to hear thoughs on the latter comment, but the POT and CON are probably not going up to vote for long.

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

With Tom's comment, the thought of having the unretire point for the following season instead of the current one seems like a reasonable one to do.  Keep in mind that it's going to be one or the other, but would there be much interest in having the unretire count to the "season after" ?

My thoughts would be, since the vote wouldn't be finished until after the sim over, this year's points can only be used on retirees that have already announced their intentions to retire.  If the change happens, next season, and next season only, unretire points can be used on 2015-16 and 2016-17 retirees.  After that, unretire points can only be used on players retiring the next season.  Ie, if you take the unretire point during the 2017-18 season, you can only unretire a player who announces their plans to retire after the 2018-19 season.

Keep in mind the drawbacks are there's no guarentee that you'll have a retiring player in the rolled-over season.  That said, you'd have a full season to trade for one, as there's no rules on using activity points on players you've acquired after selecting your reward.

Let's hear everyone's thoughts!

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

CON Boosts - I think the CON boosts need to stop at 7 - no way should they ever be allowed to go to 8. 

Unretire Reward - I think it should apply to the current season only, so at the end of the year if you have enough points you can "convince" a guy who was retiring to come back for another year.

More PE, CON, LE Points - I like this also because it allows you to spread it out to more players - but it should still be capped and never approach 80.  I liked David's idea of 74 for the cap for CON, maybe just apply that to all three so its easy to remember!

GM Recruitment Award - This is a no brainer, it's getting harder and harder to find good GM's that will be active.  But i think that the reward should only be applied if the New GM ends up in the +40 Activity points range.  Something like a 25 point reward would be good.

CAP - I think it's good at 60 right now.  Lets regroup on this at the end of next year.

I agree with all except this one and the main reason why is over the course of a season some retiring players attributes will drop. If you're able to unretire them before the start of the season it'll stop any of these decreases. Also it makes it so you can plan beyond the current season via trades, etc. which you can't if the player can't be changed beforehand.

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

Actually, it's usually age, not retiring, that causes older players to start to rot...

I agree, it happened to Iggy this year.  Since the unretire is meant for 34-36 year olds, there is a bigger risk at the end of the spectrum.

Re: eNHL 2015 Off-Season GM Meetings 

Here's what we have that'll go to voting so far:

Points Fire Line increased to 40, every other number raised by 10
PE points raised to 25.
CON points raised to 20.
LE Points raised to 15
CON Max from 70 to 74
LE and PE to 75 or 80.
Unretire usable in the next season, not the current one.

To Jesse, there already is a recruitment reward that's been added this year.  It'll be 15 points for a GM who lasts to the end of the season.  If you recruit someone who is hired after the trade deadline has passed, that GM must stay until the end of the next season for you to get your points.

Polls will be posted on Sunday just before the UFA period starts, so if you have any more ideas, get posting!
