Alright, this is the thread where all rule changes will be addressed and voted on. I will list all of the proposed rule changes and everybody needs to vote.
1) Veto system - simple yes or no, should a veto system be in place?
2) Waiver Period - do you guys think waivers should be put in place? If so, how many days?
3) Turnover system as described by Pittsburgh:
2. A yearly turnover draft system- Here is an example. The top 6 teams that make the playoffs will be asked to only protect a certain number of their players. Say the champ protects 5, 2nd protects 6, 3rd 7 and so on to 6th protecting 10. All the rest of their team's players would be thrown in a draft pool. The amount of players a playoff team could lose would be based on their performance. (ex. 1st can lose up to 3 players, 2nd and 3rd can lose 2, 4th-6th can only lose 1) Goalies may also need to be protected in addition to the allotted amount if say the team only has two (goalies are a fragile commodity)... although that can be debated if it is necessary.
The bottom 8 teams would then select from this pool. You could have different rules like if a team finishes in the bottom 3 two years in a row they get 3 picks. If a team finishes out of the playoffs 2 years in a row (but not both times in the bottom 3 ) they get 2 picks. If a team only finishes out of the playoffs 1 year they get one pick. All of these different stipulations are up for debate but you get the idea. The drafting order would be the same as the drafting order for the other drafts would be (reverse order or based on lottery if we do that).
Remember after the playoff teams lose 3,2,1, or no players in this draft they get all the rest of their guys back of course.
Various other rules can be done in a similar basis but for longer periods of dominance. (we have a rule called the dynasty effect rule where if you when the championship two years in a row you can only protect 10 players and EACH team out of the playoffs gets one unprotected player from you. This of course is a more severe depth attack on your team because you would lose 8 players instead of only 3 or 2 but they wouldn't be in your top 10. This same rule applies to any team that finishes top 3 for 3 years in a row)
Vote yes or no for a turnover system, AND vote for #1 or #2, or both if you'd like.
4) The drafting system as described by Nashville:
- A randomizer determines your "draft preference seeding"
- Each team submits their selection preference, based on their seeding:
Seed 1 - 1
Seed 2 - 1,2
Seed 3 - 1,2,14
Seed 4 - 1,2,3,14
Seed 5 - 1,2,3,14,13
Seed 6 - 1,2,3,14,4,13
etc
Then, based on their seed, and order of preference, a draft order is determined.
Seed 1 - 1
Seed 2 - 1,2
Seed 3 - 1,2,14
Seed 4 - 1,2,3,14
Seed 5 - 1,2,3,14,13
Seed 6 - 1,2,3,14,4,13
etc
This introduces some control over your draft position, as well as some gamesmanship and strategy (as in a snake draft, whoever picks 14th also picks 15th, etc). Some people prefer a lower seeding.
Vote whether you would like to do things this way, or just randomize the draft order and then draft right from there.
5) Now comes the mess of statistic changes. I'm not sure exactly how to structure this so I'm going to do it this way and majority will rule out:
Should GAA be removed?
Should SO be removed?
Should Saves be added?
Should FOW (face-off wins) be added?
Should SHP be added?
Should Points be added?
Should GWG be added?
Please vote for no more than one goalie category to be removed and no more than one skater category to be added.
Please, it is very important that everybody votes in this thread, I want to get everybody's opinion on this. Majority will rule on these polls, this may not be the best way but I don't really see any other way to do it.
If you have ANY questions, please let me know and I will do my best to answer them.

1. Consolation Tournament Prize- We could award a high pick to the winner of the consolation tournament. This will create interest for teams to stay involved out of the playoffs and also help one lucky team rebuild faster. We would need to evaluate how high the pick needs to be to be appropriate but I assume in a dynasty the draft will be pretty thin so it will probably need to be somewhere in the first round... perhaps sandwiched in the middle between pick #7 and #8. 2. A yearly turnover draft system- Here is an example. The top 6 teams that make the playoffs will be asked to only protect a certain number of their players.

2. If the league is a snake draft, I've been a part of a league that has a fun way of managing when you make your selection. It works like this:- A randomizer determines your "draft preference seeding"

Seed 1 - 1
Seed 2 - 1,2
Seed 3 - 1,2,14
