Minstrel Hockey League 2013-14

Post by Manimal »

Welcome to our proud league!

I think it is time to start a new thread for it. As you might now, I am the League Manager so if you have any questions about the league just ask me.
We have one rule that might not be in the official rules on the site. That is the fact that we must have a minimum of six defencemen on our roster at all time.
Free agency will open sometime tomorrow.

Good luck everyone and have fun!

Oh boy, Letang may be out long-time, great start. ](*,)

Do the 6D rule include or exclude guys on IR?

I'm such a goofball. I completely missed the draft. :oops:

I'll make a good show of it though! 8-)



Edit: Why are all of the FA's on waivers?

I have no idea.

EDIT: It seems that was a rule setting I missed. I'm afraid it can't be changed back

It is right having all of them on waivers. That way the most active teams cannot get all the guys who are still Free Agents. I made a killing doing that in the 2nd year when I could not make the draft. That way everyone gets a chance to claim a guy.

Oh, Hertl should be a solid player to gamble. A clever pick that I forgot about! :rant:

That happened to me, too! Some sort of bug or what. I just made sure my lineups are correct for today so we'll see tomorrow how it ends.

I also have Riemer!
I just realized that all my goalies begins with a R.
Rinne
Riemer
Rämö

I took my chances on two possible extra starters, besides Rinne, but right now it looks like both failed. :rant:
