The rule currently reads:
Skaters may be designated inactive if, on the date of the CHL Annual General Meeting, they have played fewer than 82 NHL games.
Skaters designated inactive : - May not play any CHL games in the subsequent season
- May not be traded until the end of the subsequent season
- Once made active may never again be designated inactive by the same team
I am proposing the following changes that I would like to see voted on individually as I believe they can stand alone (and I don't want to type out a bunch of different threads). - Change Skaters to Players. This will allow for the protection of goalies
- Change "the date of the CHL Annual General Meeting" to be "July 1 of the current year prior to the AGM". This will prevent a possible issue of a player playing their 82nd game prior to the AGM but after the season reflected on the cards. Could become more of an issue if the NHL starts playing regular season games in Australia in September to kick off the season and grow the game world wide.
- Add "OR have played in 350 or more career NHL games but had less than 10 games played for the season in question." This is designed to allow GMs who are in "Win NOW" mode to protect a veteran who is not currently able to contribute.
- Remove the last bullet point about players not being able to be designated inactive by the same team again if they had previously been active. Simplify bookkeeping and remove possible confusion

Even if none of these pass, I want some clarification on "Once made active may never again be designated inactive by the same team"
Does this refer to being made inactive and then put on the active roster or just having been active at some point?
Ex: I have Noah Juulsen, who has never been on the Inactive list since I drafted him in 2018. As of this year he has still not played 82 NHL games and has been on my Active Roster since I drafted him. Is he eligible to be put on the Inactive list since I have never previously designated him as Inactive?

I like 1 and 4. Mike, just curious if you would consider potentially amending your proposal to change the wording to "Skaters may be designated inactive if they have played fewer than 10 NHL games in the previous NHL season"? I think this would resolve both issues you identified in 2 and 3, unless there is something I missed. |

I think this would resolve both issues you identified in 2 and 3, unless there is something I missed. The problem with going uncarded (less than 10 games) revolves around rookies and their development path.
You draft a player who played 11 games over the course of a season. The next year he's up and down and plays 22 games. Is he worth a roster spot yet? In his third year he has a minor knock and plays 47 games bouncing in and out of the lineup. This brings his NHL career to 80 games. Is he worth that roster spot yet? He's doubled the number of games he's played every year but hasn't established himself as an everyday player but is also only 22. What do you do? As a "rookie" you still have the chance of protecting him in an inactive slot (competing against all your other rookies for one of those spots). If you went uncarded you would have needed to protect them at every season after the draft year. If you're in a rebuild and have more than six picks for a couple of years in a row you'll be tearing your hair out over these kids who are just a year away (you hope) but with nowhere to put them.

If a skater has been on your inactive list and in a subsequent season is not on your inactive list, he may never again be on your inactive list. If a skater has never been on your inactive list, and he meets all other criteria, he may be added to your inactive list. Goalies were excluded from the inactive list because a goalie shortage made it prudent to prevent teams from stashing them away. This shortage no longer exists. |
