I honestly can't believe he pushed that hard against hoglander when he seriously didn't know he was a forward two hours ago lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in the world lol I had a post edited and the message to me was "cool it" like I did anything. I almost wanted to quote him and tell him we resolved it ourselves, so he wasn't needed but I figured that'd only get me a shorter leash for antagonizing a mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a post deleted and a warning one time from getting snippy with that jrfischer dude. He's a moron and an ***. I can't even deal with him now. Even he tries to talk to me, I typically just thank him for attempting to talk to me but I have no interest and will let him know when I wish to speak with him lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate the mental gymnastics that happens over there. I'm trying to post more because I feel like I have stuff to contribute but it gets difficult when you have the same few people derailing threads and being completely unreasonable. I want to ignore posters but then you miss half the stuff posted and just read the responses to those guys without seeing what was said. It gets confusing lmao. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 @Forge I asked this on HF as well so if I get an answer there, I'll refer to it here later but, do we know if the play-in round affects more than just the 1st round for the draft order? I'm trying to get the best reflection on what the actual draft order will be before I start a new mock draft with play-in round predictions. The order will likely be off anyways but I'm just curious, that way I don't have one team winning the lottery while their opponent doesn't change draft position, like I did last time (or all the times that we do it on that draft simulator).

Honestly, I hadn't even thought of it. I could see it go either way. They could just use the first round / play in results and replicate through the other rounds, or I could see it being based on something like points percentage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess all I'll do is project the winners of the play-in round and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 How likely is it that with the loss of revenue from Covid, ownership doesn't spend any real money this season despite all the cap space available? I think that is a legit concern for a lot of people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a legit concern for a lot of people. I think if your team isn't one of the top 6 teams in either the East or West, or isn't projected to make that jump, I think you'll see a lot of ownership spend closer to the floor than the cap. The 3rd year of the flat cap is going to be absolutely brutal for the majority of the league, if you can avoid the pain I think some ownerships do that.

Ownership is going to end up punting 2-3 years of players career due the flat cap (if you're out of the playoffs/rebuilding) and as a fan that's infuriating. So essentially teams will be in purgatory. Not improving enough to contend, not sucking enough to tank. Treading water for 2-3 years until the cap goes up or normalizes. Really stupid NHL and NHLPA couldn't agree on some sort of amnesty buyout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
