Put your rule proposals here!
Nash may want fully formed rules here but I'm setting this up for any and all half baked, hare brained ideas. Maybe something you say will twig something off in somebody else's brain and lead to the start of a beautiful friendship.
Let the spitballing begin.

It seems that there has been quite a bit of discussion around the goalie appearances in the playoffs. The one change that I would propose is to simply change the goalie stack from 8 slots down to 7. This should clear up most of the issues while still keeping some randomness involved.

Why do we need randomness? The goalie cards are now functioning as they should be, so "mutants" aren't an issue. There is no randomness to goalie appearances in NHL playoffs.
If we go to rolling in everyone, maybe, but how is it any different to miss McJesus for a game based on a bad roll than to miss your starting goalie? We shouldn't be winning playoff series by luck, we should be encouraging people to play the best lineups they can for as long as they can in the playoffs. Thats where coaching strategies can come into play, deciding who may be a better pairing, line or goalie for a home game vs an away game. We have teams with enough players to give us those options, we dont need to be having only one type of layer subjected to random rolls.
We dont roll goalies in during the regular season, there is NO reason, or logical sense to not being able to allocate your starts as you see fit for available goalies during the playoffs.

There are 2 main differences.
1. McJesus doesn't play the whole game.
2. The goalies we are talking about aren't your starting goalies, they are goalies you want to start but have probably played less games than your starter.
"Thats where coaching strategies can come into play, deciding who may be a better pairing, line or goalie for a home game vs an away game."
While there might be strategic reasons to sit certain players depending on if you get last change there is absolutely no reason to play a lower percentage goalie at any time.

LTIR - For protection purposes at the AGM. one non-rookie player who appeared in 12 or less games in the NHL season (in the event of a shortened season the value will be 15% of the season rounded down to the next whole game) may be placed on the LTIR. Restrictions on these players are identical to players on the Farm (Minors) roster.
Appearances was deliberately chosen - a goalie who played one period in each of 13 games would not be eligible for this slot.

Tie Breakers -
There was some confusion over the tie breakers. Would like that cleared up.
We also had a scenario with two pairs of games remaining whereby there would have been a three way tie for fourth place. Need to have something in place in case this occurs in the future.

Would the LTIR list not just be any uncarded player of any age who missed NHL time do to injury? A guy playing in another league or the minors should not he eligible for ltir should be NHL injured player. Otherwise we are just handing our more roster spots

What was the confusion over tie breakers? One system had wins as first tie breaker while a second had games played (to encourage games being played) as the first tie breaker. It depended on which set of rule books you were looking at and my understanding was you and Nash were on different pages when i played him at the end of the season.
