Proposal 5: FP position exemption at a Waiver Draft

Proposal #5.

That, in a waiver draft, the obligation to drop a number of
players from any given position be reduced by one for every Franchise
Player holding said position on that team. The total number of drops
required shall remain the same (8).

-For example, the Great Whites have Carey Price G MTL as a Franchise
Player. At the waiver draft, the team would normally be obligated to
waive at least one goaltender. Since one of their FPs is a goalie,
the obligation is reduced from 1 to zero, thus leaving the team with
the ability to keep a healthy goaltender on the roster in the event
that Price is injured.
- In my opinion, the current league status is biased against having
goalie FPs. I seek to remedy the situation.
-It should be noted that this FP exemption, does mean you don't have
 to drop a centre if you have 2 FP centres, just that you are NOT obliged
to make Centre drop.

Thank you

Bob

Vote NO (and Price is a bad example as he never gets hurt... oh wait ;-)

So really this gives 4 wild card drops....might be a good choice if the IR rule is eliminated entirely. Gives a little FP protection

Templar votes NO.

I still maintain the right to drop an FP at anytime, and hold the right to choose not to replace FP until next ED, or via trade.

A player is a player, regardless of status. None should be Godlier than any other.
