2.1 Pandemic Specific Rules
A couple of years ago, I made an executive decision to move IR from 2 to 4 roster spots. I'm putting this to a vote to see if we keep it or move it back. Otherwise I believe we will start acting like the pandemic is in the rear view mirror.
I haven't checked or seen anything specific, but I believe the NHL is returning to a fully normal schedule in 2022-2023, so I expect we will be able to have a regular season of 22 weeks.
UPDATE: Per the League Poll, we will move to 3 IR Spots this season.
Please speak up if you have any short term/pandemic rules that need to be addressed.
DONE!
2.2 Normal Offseason Rule Changes
The big discussion has been on Home-Ice advantage. Based on the negative feedback, this rule will be dropped. We will have a few polls based on this discussion and playoffs.
Per two league polls:
Playoffs move to Top 6 teams with a First Round Bye for top two seeds.
The Playoff Tiebreaker (If games end 6-6-1, for example) will be most Goals in the playoff matchup. I'm making an executive decision to make the next tie breakers Save Percentage, then Shots on Goal, then Saves, then STP. All are based solely on the postseason matchup.
Done!
3.1 Offseason Trades & Keepers
As always, you may make trades at any time. However, you may wish to wait until rules are confirmed.
4.1 Draft
Historically, it begins the day after Labor Day. We will confirm this soon.
The draft pick tracker is here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ccEmArLYhsdb_vVbIUTX-MA4Nhb8OH_GRyjxUYrrxgU/edit#gid=2
Any rules not explicitly stated here default to the ESPN Fantasy Hockey League Rules, if applicable.
