If we ever decided on a reset, I'd want to probably plan it at least a year or two ahead of time, so everyone could prepare, make their "last attempt" before the reset, etc, we would never spring it on the league.
I think it would taste better going down among those opposed as long as they had a lot of notice.

I'm generally always against a reboot considering the whole point of a sim is to build dynasties. I feel like this one is caught me at a weird time and rather than arguing directly against it I would be willing to do whatever the league voted for.
I doubt it's going to happen, but I will say that even bringing it up definitely brought the boards to life so it's a good thing

Once again guys, I'm so sorry for the delay!!! Things have been pretty crazy around here the last few months (of which I'm not going to get into) and it's just been really hard to try and find the motivation to start the whole process.
It really is a daunting task and every time I'm about to sit down and get the process started, I just keep thinking ahead to everything that has to be done and then think to myself "I'll just start it tomorrow", but that has become a vicious cycle.
I haven't logged on in a few days and now I see all this reset talk. Personally I wouldn't mind either way, but I feel if any decision would be made that it would have to be absolutely unanimous, I wouldn't do it any other way.
Just know that I do plan on getting everything started soon. I know once I sit down and get into it that I will start cruising, so please just have a little more patience and I promise it will be very soon to come!!!

Gotta break it down into smaller tasks dude, lets start with just getting the ratings updated first and go from there. If you look at it as this big huge thing its hard to get motivated.

You are the man, the myth, the legend, the backbone of our league that many of us turn to for entertainment and distraction from the insanity that life brings... It's all good, man. You'll get it done when the time is right...

One thought and kybosh it if it would create too much confusion...
What about start the entry draft early - with no time limits or anything, just to get it launched. One thread, we self-police it for double picks...GMs make picks as they are able...we can alert each other when pick is upcoming...just to try. Maybe it would get bogged down without set days, times. I dunno.
Just an idea - again, if Jon/others feel like it would cause too much chaos, it's all good...Just a random thought before coffee lol

How is draft and RFA linked again? Nobody we draft is even linked to salary until next year correct?

The compensation is at a minimum a pick in this year's draft. Hence why we cannot start the Draft before FA is finished. But you are correct, anybody drafted this year does not get a salary until next year, and that is only if he plays in the NHL

Quick update: So I've made a bunch of progress. Not as much as I had hoped, but it's getting there. When I install new ratings it deletes all the players who weren't updated due to retirement, name issues, playing in other countries etc. So I have to go through a couple of hundred names and make sure they were deleted correctly (or correct the issue if they shouldn't have been deleted) and that's where I'm at right now. I'll keep you guys updated with the progress as it moves along.
