Suspect? I've got Plante plus 2 5ths if you have a quality forward you're willing to give up Like Anthony Mantha? lol. I have to buy a new laptop. I ruined it this morning with coffee/nasal drippings.

Unofficial poll on roster spots: How many would you add? Which positions? Add Overagers? Add Euros? Add Goalies? I'll toss an idea out then on this question. Yes to adding players. I would add 3 players. Positions would be 1D, 1F, and a "flex" position, with a catch. The flex position must be either a) a 20 year old or b) a Euro and cannot be a 20 year old Euro because that counts as 2 slots. EDIT: Yeah never thought of that. With 20 teams in our pool and only 18 teams in the QMJHL, allowing more than one goalie makes no sense at all. Thanks everyone below this post for pointing that out.

I don't think an additional goalie should be allowed.
I agree with the Banking Beaver that with 19/20 teams 1 is fair on the amount of G available.

If you add another goalie spot or allow someone to have 2 goalies then you have more goalies in our pool than in the actually league which obviously makes 0 sense.
I like the idea of having another euro OR overager. Not both but allow the owner to chose which he would like. A 20 year old euro would count as both just like in the Q.

The Explosion thanks Briwhel for his endorsement and looks forward to a ruling when available and we are fine with whatever is decided in regards to two other franchises trying to gain entry. May the best franchise WIN entry to the league!! ;D
Here's an idea. Go by seniority for the expansion team. Whoever joined the boards first. (Only if I am the winner) haha no but seriously I would be ok with that. Or whoever asked first. Maybe like you say Beaver we could buy and existing team as well. Many options to deal with three bids. Just let us know.

Unofficial poll on roster spots: How many would you add? Which positions? Add Overagers? Add Euros? Add Goalies? Seems like it's been already said but I'll vote for 3 extra spots. 1F, 1D, 1Flex. No more goalies. If there's an expansion team, that will be 20. If we allow 3 OA's that will be 60 OAs, where in the real life league there will be 54. Same thing with euros. So I think we should allowed either 1 more euro, or OA, and use it as the flex.

Expansion is tricky. Maybe it's a contest. Maybe any interested parties make up a team of five players from the free agent pool (no goalies, no euros, no OAs). Runs from Jan 1 to end of season, best score gets in.
Also, how do they fill their team? Can't exactly do an expansion draft. Maybe they pick extra. They get their first round pick (determined by lottery). the 19th place team picks 21st overall (first pick of the second round), expansion picks 22 and 23 (22 is tradeable, 23 is not). They also double up their picks in the fourth, fifth and sixth and seventh rounds (again, only one of each is tradeable). By the end of the 7th round they have 12 players, same as if you'd picked 7 and protected five.

I think we should add between zero (my preference) to a maximum of 2 spots, 1 F and 1 D - one of which can be an OA *or* Euro. I don't like the idea of turning over more than half of my existing team, as I've clearly built with the purpose of constructing a very strong 10-player team for next season.
I think adding more spots per team, plus a whole new team really penalizes me, as I prepared this season (from the point when I saw my horrible draft position) with the intention of building a 10-player team for next season.
But the appetite is there, so I guess roster expansion is probably inevitable, and I'm prepared to deal with that.
I will vote against adding any more than 2 spots, unless reserve spots are to be considered. Considering we'll be adding another full team to the mix, that's 50 extra players in one season. I like the Q and all, but I doubt I could name 50 players not on a current roster in our pool.
I also agree to a draft lottery, as I don't want people at the bottom of the league purposely tanking. I promise I'll continue to push for fair value in every trade I make, and I hope and expect everyone else will do the same. But just in case, I agree the 1 spot should not be guaranteed.
For an expansion team, I like BB's suggestion for the draft.

I'd add 2 positions if we were going to add any. one forward and one defence.
I'm also agreed on the proposed draft lottery.

I like adding 3 spots.....one F, one D, one flex
no extra goalies......not enough starters to go around as it is.
draft lottery is cool. like that idea
I also like the idea of adding a 20 and a euro
I would also like to protect 8 players.....if that doesn't happen this time around, I'd like it looked at next time....based on trading for next year, and having room for the guys you trade for. it would allow more movement now, and make the season more interesting for those not in the top 5 or 6, playing around with trades.
as far as expansion, if we add a team and go with 13 man teams, there will still be plenty of players to fill that team, considering every Q team has 22 to 25 players on their rosters...........I like the idea of a 5 man contest for them also....that would allow me to make a deal with one of them, dropping my best player so they could pick him up, and deal me their 1st round pick at the draft! ;D ;D

With the expanded rosters that is the case. But only five on the current roster. I'm in the same position with my roster. I want to sell but I'll be shooting myself in the foot, forced to give up what I traded for unless it's for futures.

Here is how I'd consider adding the expansion team (if just adding one team).
Have the expansion GM select 5 guys that are available as free agents AFTER our roster deadline and BEFORE the existing GMs submit their five man protected list.
Then the expansion team has a roster to build from when they select the draft. Plus, they could use their "expansion draft" 5 man roster to try to swing deals for picks/players, etc.

Better late than never. I work too freakin' much. Only have time for one liners lately.
Proposal one: Increase skating scoring categories to include PPG and SHG, each worth one point each.
I'm not sure about this. Like others have said, the PPG is rewarding for an easier goal. SHG on the other hand is worth it, especially when not many are scored that way.
Proposal two: Award an expansion Franchise to bring increase membership to twenty.
Of course!
Proposal three: Implement a draft lottery to determine the selection order of the non-playoff teams
Sounds good too. WIth more balls in the bucket for the lower ranked teams.
Proposal four: Increase the roster sizes to include 3 more skaters: one F, one D and one flexible spot that can be either D or F Yes to this also. I would like an extra key spot for an OA/Euro at the choice of the team. i.e. have either 3 OA + 1 Euro or 2 OA + 2 Euro. Especially considering the fact that all players count, the impact of an injury is reduced.
Also, will the rule regarding a season-ending injury to a young player be enacted so we can put him on the injured reserve?

The injured reserve question that was rejected for the current season will be voted on again for the next season.
