Waiver Draft Poll

[Virtual Jarmo]

Guys, do we want a waiver draft? It will probably push back the regular season a couple days. Let me know.

[DevilsGM]

Voted, seems like to much hassle to me plus without it you dont have to worry about people picking up your spare parts which are really useful when theres injuries.

[CalgaryGM]

Waste of time in my opinion.

[Bruins]

With Free Agency, waivers are a outdated and unnecessary.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Majority will rule here so we can get the ball rolling. Once one side gets to 16, the poll is over.

With Free Agency, waivers are a outdated and unnecessary.

Although a waiver draft is logistically difficult enough that I don't mind it not happening, it would be useful to prevent people from stashing too many useful veteran players with two-way contracts in the AHL.

It would make our AHL more competitive but I don't think it's worth the time

[DucksGM]

Looks like I'm lucky #16! Just seems like it would be too much work for too little gain.

[Tuo-SabresGM]

I wanted to wait to post until it was decided to avoid any potential conflict of interest, but I agree it's mostly unnecessary. Theoretically the salary cap in both the NHL and AHL should deter an overgrowth of talent for any one club, but the two-way contract offers do somewhat circumvent that.

Regardless, I also don't feel that it's terribly worth doing.

+1 to this. More draft beer at all times.


So it's settled. No waiver draft.
