Looking at play-by-play reports, it seems that injuries are very much tied to getting hit and being in the receiving end of infractions like high-sticking. Since goalies don't get hit etc. they seemingly only get injured by some (apparently very low) random injury chance, and like said, maybe tiredness plays a part there.

I thought it must've been an accident as the message log looked quite interesting. Hope you can get him back!

As pointed out in this topic, a roster limit would either be too limiting, or high enough to be irrelevant. For example, I've 16 assigned players, 14 of which I signed from my prospect pool. That would be a roster of 34 just to have my own prospects in my own affiliates. Not to mention I like to keep 1-2 capable reserve players for each position in case of injuries. That's easily a roster of 40 without any hoarding.
 
However, as those prospects age, not all of them will make the main lineup. And it shouldn't be possible for me to lock them up into affiliates forever. Waivers would be the answer to that.
 
All in all, I'd support an age-based waiver system, along with a high roster limit, say around 50, just for the sake of having one.

Hello all,
 
I accidentally resigned my top prospect Samuel Dobrik who I drafted 4th overall in the last draft.
 
I would really much appreciate if you didn't try to sign him, as him being in the free agency is the result of be being clumsy and trying to do things too fast while on mobile. I tried to recall him to my team to change the affiliate team he's in, but instead chose to resign him, thus making him available for all to sign.
 
So I kindly ask that you do not offer him a contract, as a mark of good sportsmanship, and if you have offered him a contract that you would take your offer back.
 
Thanks a lot,
Jussi

Notes:
* This is slightly different from other formulas used. I thought that the performance of goalies varies so much that I thought that their values weight shouldn't be changed. Here's what I used: Overall = (OFF + DEF * 2 + SG) / 25
* Like others, I went for 3 significant digits - however, I went to 4 whenever I needed to break a tie.
* This is based off day 3 teams after free agents were signed.

Waivers. Anybody sent to an affiliate above say 25 goes to waivers. Anybody of the same league or below interested sends in a claim. The team highest in the claim order gets the player. Very simple and straightforward.
 
 
 
Therein lies the problem. They have to make an offer. Knowing your trading tendencies your going to want something more than a throwaway contract. Not saying that you wouldn't make a deal like that happen more that others may be doing it to try to force trades for players. You know. Gather enough players to try to force a trade or get all the quality players and then try to work deals with lower teams. It is only a bad thing to have a high league team signing all of the quality players for lower leagues no matter if they try to trade them down or not. There is no reason that a SHL team should not be able to send a waiver claim for Baroni on my team, Sharp on yours or one of the many on Pegasus who seemingly can't offer enough contracts to FAs. Nobody should be able to collect players above a certain age (again say 24 or 25) and then without care send them to their affiliates without them going through waivers.

Suggesting a waiver system is hardly a nerf to the affiliate system or a protest for something new though is it? It is a real life solution to an exactly similarly identified problem in real life. Without a waiver system you risk there being less parity with more players potentially being signed and then sent to the affiliate teams of a few teams and left there until needed. It happened in the NHL until waivers were introduced. Personally I'd rather not see a Montreal like dynasty built upon always having a wealth of talent to draw upon due to hoarding talent. I'd rather see a Detroit like dynasty where it is sustained success through great management. Having a waiver system prevents hoarding of talented players above a certain age. Preventing the hoarding of players creates more parity. More parity creates better competition. Better competition makes the game better due to it being more fun to play. A more fun game will be more likely to attract more players.
 
I'm not saying that Anders needs to get this out the door asap but I don't think that this could be left alone for an extended time due to the faster leagues.
 
Also in regards to it being relatively easy to rise through the ranks that was true back when AI littered the leagues. However most will not be able to do that now with more human managers. Skilled and clever managers will pretty much be able to no matter what. I'd love to give it a go with a second team but I don't want to create essentially 2 profiles.

Hi everyone,
 
Just a minor suggestion.
 
How about a cooldown period for managers that want to change teams? For instance manager X taking control over team A, 10 days later when team B is available he/she wants to take control over team B. Maybe because that team is in a higher league or has better players or whatsoever.
 
I have seen this happen a couple of times with the same manager. Don't get me wrong, I like the addition of extra managers but I think it would be better if there is a cooldown period for changing teams. This way we give everyone else the chance to change teams and avoid teams getting badly managed or making it a mess.
 
Cheers,
 
K
