FCP Bob 1,312 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 As an FYI, Swacker Dave and I were discussing adding a live scoring feature as a temporary addon for the current season until the new site is ready for next year. We think it's doable given the live data feed that is available from our stats provider. If Dave and his genius programmer buddy can get the code right we'll have it and it won't change anything on the current site. It will just be a live ticker to be used on game nights before the final scores are processed in the mornings. Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 fwiw, Im usually not arguing about the situation (what happened to Zach yesterday), but the overall rule so, here's the issue for anyone not understanding: deadline is 6pm. Poolie gets a Score app notification that Kopitar is scratched at 6:20pm, because Kopitars game in LA does not start until 10pm EST. Poolie has Aho he can put in for the 7pm game, on his bench. League rules say he cant put him in. Poolie loses game 6 of the finals, and the change would have made the difference. Oops. Again, I see both sides of the argument, but its hard to argue against the thought that that makes our league less competitive. Why you got to mess with my players bro? Kopitar doesn't sit. He is a beast. Link to post Share on other sites
DanielNegreanu 141 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Its criticism if he wants to change the league to make it better? You can criticize him if you think it does not make the league better, thats fine. But don't take personal shots at the guy because he honestly believes the league would be better. You know whats interesting to me? Zach is not the guy who changes or tries to change the league the most. There is someone else who changes the league from its "history" more than anyone else, and its Daniel, and I think its awesome. I'm all for making my life better in every way possible, why does everything have to be "the way it was" I see both sides of the argument too, fwiw. This is true, but the difference is I come up with a proposal and ask how people feel about it. Then I typically run a poll as well. What I don't do is start my proposal with "This rule is so stupid and I want it changed and if you guys disagree with me I will whine about it for years and never give up my bitching." 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I didn't get any of my three, including Grabner...although I do have Sanford So weird. I searched all these guys. No idea how I missed that you had him. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 We will not be allowing changes to lineups once games have started but a reasonable change to discuss would be whether the deadline should be one hour before game time or at the start of the earliest game. Nobody said anything about allowing changes once games have started. That you can't change your lineup because it's inside 1 hour and 7 minutes before puck drop is the thing I disagree with. If I had my way, I'd lock in the games at the start of the first one. It's not even that moves are made after 6:00, it's that it gives teams an extra hour to notice them. Can't for the life of me imagine that this is a bad thing for the league. Frankly, if the change happened at 4 and I don't see it until 6:12, then all the more reason I should be allowed to swap. I'm trying to ice my best lineup (which is at the core of a dozen other rules and regulations we keep inventing), but because i was watching the Jays game, I missed it. We have the technology to make this a non-issue. Hell, it doesn't even have to be full lineup changes allowed. Only allow scratch replacements. Why not? How can this possibly be a bad thing?

Babying 613 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I didn't get any of my three, including Grabner...although I do have Sanford i was on the fence on Grabner. I think I wasted my draft ranking on him but I do like to pick up guys during the season so I thought why not On Sanford I knew you had him because for some reason I guess during trade talks I looked at your farm.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I didnt have time to participate (no time to look for FA's), but I was really surprised at the lack of quality on the list. Outside of Auvitu, really not much there IMO. edit: missed Armia. He could be good. And I suppose Malgin too. No idea who Markus Nutivaara is, so cant speak if the guy has upside.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 lol Cool loophole. Did Armia just go from having a $3.00 contract to a $.25 UFA contract? So if JP had dropped Pavel Zacha, he could have just picked him up $.25? Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Cool loophole. Did Armia just go from having a $3.00 contract to a $.25 UFA contract? So if JP had dropped Pavel Zacha, he could have just picked him up $.25? No, he went from being a free agent to being picked up as a $0.25 FA. He was technically supposed to be dropped prior to the draft/auction which would've made him available for the auction and pickups. So, not a cool loophole. Edit: but the move sure does stink!

gruven 530 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Ooh, if you were first in waiver priority, could you drop a $3 farm player and then pick him up again for a quarter? Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Ooh, if you were first in waiver priority, could you drop a $3 farm player and then pick him up again for a quarter? If you drop him once the season starts his salary remains the same...and he's only eligible to be picked up if he's on an NHL roster. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Imo, Armia's salary should be what it was when he was dropped because he wasn't dropped prior to the draft/auction. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Wait. What happened? Someone forgot to drop him? Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted October 17, 2016 Author Share Posted October 17, 2016 Just to clarify the Armia situation: Red Ravens needed to drop farm players to be in compliance with the farm team cap. These drops should've happened prior to the FA auction, but Bob was generous and let him drop players after the fact (and just to clarify, Bob let others do this also). As a result of not being dropped when he was supposed to be dropped Armia was never made available at the FA auction or during pickups. Armia's salary was $2.50 when he was on Red Ravens' farm, I believe. Red Ravens then used his waiver position to reacquire Armia for $0.25. Imo Armia should be eligible to be picked up by Red Ravens but at his original salary. I don't think Red Ravens, or anyone for that matter, should be rewarded for not following the proper procedure and meeting deadlines. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,312 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Dale pretty much has it spot on. Bryan screwed up and got confused with the number of players on his farm and picks etc. He didn't realize he had to drop that number of players and I didn't check and warn him before the draft. It's why he dropped some players who he didn't want to. Usually guys are dropping pieces of shit and it this isn't an issue but technically Armia and the other dropped players should have been dropped before the auction and available there. I'm pretty sure he would rather have Armia on his farm and Malgin at $0.25 or whatever he could have traded for Armia for before the draft or one of his draft picks and Malgin at $0.25 rather than just Armia at $0.25.
