that sounds like no more work for all the GMs, and like we'd have a place we can reference.


I'll bring up in CC. I think we're at the point that we need to maintain or decrease the existing workload, not increase it - this seems to add no more work to the main core of GMs.

GMs would simply need to specify which players have contracts that 'slide' at roster submissions, and then during the season point out when they start using (hence, when they 'sign') a player that was not counted towards their 50 limit, be him
- a player with no NHL contract nor NHL games at roster submission
- a player already under NHL contract at roster submission but eligible for the slide (< 20yrs and 11 gp)

that means basically no added work for anyone (and actually, saves the CC from monitoring in-season signings and their implications)

LeanMachine wroteCOLONNewbie question: define contract slide.

Sensfanjosh wroteCOLONJust to clarify, if I have a player eligible to slide that was previously counted as a contract are they now ineligible? i.e. does this only count for 2014 draft picks onwards essentially?

Shoalzie wroteCOLONOur slide rule is a little more lenient than the actual NHL rule. I was thinking you'd have to add the contract if the player plays 10 games but you can stash a player away for the whole year if you want if you don't have the room for their contract.

Just like NHL GMs can make their decision whether keeping the guy up or not beyond his 9th game, so BBKL GMs are entitled to make their own decision whether they want to play the guy or not.

You can call it more lenient, but if you look at it from another standpoint, you may as well consider it stricter since you lose the player's sliding benefit for the season the 1st game you use the player; i.e. you don't have the option to use him for 9 games and then send him down while still sliding like NHL teams.

Shoalzie wroteCOLON It's a trickier decision on who to slide just because submission day (Sunday) is before opening night (Wednesday) and before final cuts had been made for NHL teams.
