The Waiver Draft poll is still live for another 24 hours, but since there are 11 votes for yes (which is majority), I thought I'd start the discussion about protecting players in the waiver draft.
To go over the rules again:
1. The league will hold a waiver draft just prior to Training Camp. The waiver draft will consist of 2 rounds. It will be a draft comprised of the non-playoff teams based on final standings.
2. All teams are required to protect 17 players from their active roster. Any unprotected player will then be eligible to be claimed in the waiver draft. Any team that wishes to protect 3 or more goalies may do so, but each goalie protected results in losing 1 protected player spot (eg. protecting 3 goalies results in 16 spots total, protecting 4 goalies results in 15 spots total, etc.)
3. Every team must post a roster of protected and unprotected players in the Waiver Draft thread.
4. Waiver draft picks are NOT eligible for trade.
5. Propsects are automatically protected.
6. There will be a total roster freeze 1 week prior to the waiver draft. No trades, player claims or prospect claims will be permitted during this time.
7. A team may only lose a total of 2 players during the waiver draft. Once said team has been chosen from 2 times, those players will no longer be able to be selected.
You'll notice that point #2 has the number 17 has the number of players we are allowed to protect. This is a number I use in another league, but we have not agreed upon it in this league.
If we have 24 Roster slots, I think somewhere between 15-20 players that we are allowed to protect would be perfect. This allows us to keep our core and build our team, but allow to get some fringe players that will help the bottom teams out a little bit.
Everybody should take an opportunity to list the number of players we should be allowed to protect each offseason.
