[2012] Entry Draft Discussion

[kyuss]

So how does the GP count work, does it continue past the end of the regular season for non-playoff teams?

yep

So how does the GP count work, does it continue past the end of the regular season for non-playoff teams? Is it the combined total between GP and GGP or?

I'm actually surprised you're about 60 GP away from reaching minimums. Awesome.

[Nick]

The total keeps ticking until end of season, yes. It is calculated as active player GP + Goalie Games Started (GGS).


Also worth following : the limit for GGS in a playoff math cup (4) and then limit for GGS in a season (82).

I thought you were going to beat me. My team has been balls lately.

Best time to turn it around is this week vs. HONG

Trade Ondrej Pavelec, acquire Sieve Mason and Josh Harding.

Both get injured on the same day, same night... like... 10 minutes apart.

The world does not want you to reach GP or GGP lol.

Frank took a lot of shit.

But he wasn't that bad of a GM when it came to acquiring assets.

I agree. His 2nd tenure was worse than his 1st. He took a TERRIBLE Dallas team and left it with some pretty solid assets when he was booted. Took it from a 1/10 to a 5.5/10 IMO. Then in CGY, once again it was in rough shape. IMO he took it from a 2/10 up to a 6/10 then down to a 4.5/10 because of some weird trades he made that made no sense.

He was good at getting maximum value out of his players.

He was annoying as shit to talk trades with, and his bookkeeping was horrendous.

The CBA says GP for goalies...but we are going with actual starts? I've had the Oilers duo all year and I will be over 82 GP but that's because of both guys showing up in a game on occasion. If it starts and not GP and then I don't need to worry about sitting them so I don't get dinged.

Happy to see I went over 1100 GP this week...I'm near the middle in GP but near the bottom in basically every category.

[Nick]

Yes it's GGS, GGP is counted every time they touch the ice. Under no circumstance should a GM be at risk for 2GGP from 1 team GP...
