Rule Change: Increase the games played limit for prospects
Perceived Problem: Players who have over 100 GP (50 GP) need to be protected in the waiver draft even when they may not be fantasy relevant. This is specifically a concern with goalies. Other than Vasilevskiy, Murray and Hellebuyck, most goalies tend to spend significant time in backup roles.
Proposed Solution: Increase the limit to something along the lines of 180 GP (100 GP).
could we consider bringing the GP limit for goalies to the same limit as other positions? 100 seems to work for forwards and defensemen. 180 GP is a lot.
While the majority of voters were in favour of increasing the limit, we would've needed a league-wide majority to implement the change. We can try voting again at the end of the season with more active GMs having been brought into the league!
I also think stances on this could be different now since we have waivers this year anyway. You no longer are forced to promote a graduated prospect. But yeah, you would still need to protect at year end
