Re: 2014-15 Dynasty Draft Discussion
That's a really good idea. You're right, most people are happy right after the draft.

A heads-up that a couple of teams have roster violations right now, JCY is 2 players over the maximum, and Timmay (Gaustad) and Mindz (Filppula) have a guy at a position they're no longer eligible for.

Well aware of that. I plan to use the entire off-season to make my decisions.
Not sure you're ever allowed to be over the maximum roster size.

Well then, guess I'll have to continue the trade talks I've been having so that I get under. :thumbsup(22):

Fantrax has a really bad habit of dicking about with positional alignment in the off season, only to revert back to giving said player dual eligibility again in training camp. Filppula, for example, plays on the wing for TBay's PP unit and will almost definitely be given dual eligibility again.
It's ****ing aggravating though.

I've got a couple of prospects who are listed in incorrect positions actually. Sissons was drafted as a RW'er, for instance, and is listed as a RW'er on hockeydb and Elite Prospects. He took face-offs at the NHL level because of his ability to be a dual-position guy, but what makes him different than a guy like Zetterberg who is listed at both?
I think we should have the ability to play guys in alternative positions, or other positions if Fantrax has incorrectly listed them at a certain spot if that's possible.

I'm pretty sure that the Commish has over ride power, and it's been used before to fix fairly obvious ones.

You cannot have more than the maximum number of players at any time. Still need to drop one asap.

Same thing applies to Deckie, currently sitting at 51 players.
Problem is that it creates more work and taking everyone's word that the player is playing said position. Hell Filppula took 1323 faceoffs last year. Hard not to consider him a centre.

It's not hard to ask that proof be required.
Spent most of his career on the wing, and portions of last season including special teams. Filppula last season was used much the same way as Malkin is used every year by Pittsburgh. 2C, but sometimes 1W, sometimes wing on the PP, etc, etc. Using faceoffs as a measurement for who is and isn't a centre is a bit narrow.
Malkin took 621 faceoffs... and I'm not sure he really should have W status. I watch a lot of Penguins hockey and he plays centre. Kesler has W status and he took 1406 faceoffs, that doesn't seem right.
I know I'm in the minority but I think it would make everything a lot easier to go with 12 forwards and 6 dmen.

I'd support that. Wingers have far too much value in this league as things stand.

In real life a centre is more valuable than a winger, should hold true in our league as well or at least make them equal.
JaysCyYoung

This is honestly the crux of it too. Also, it seems like Fantrax lists far fewer players as wingers than they do as centres for some reason, when the inverse should be true (there are two wingers to one centre on each line for instance).

I'd be in favor of saying once you hit so many faceoffs in a season or fo/g that you can no longer have W eligibility.

Actually...I'm entirely cool with this as long as the scoring formula for forwards doesn't change. A forward...any forward who is good at faceoffs is an asset to his club for that reason. There are a lot of wingers who are good faceoff men and take a fair amount of key draws for their club.
