(continued) And our playoff pool is basically unrelated to the regular season pool, with totally new rosters - although we are debating keeping one player from each qualifying GM's regular season roster for the playoffs. - mcarmody Mon, 07 May 2012 15:28:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4609-fostering-manager-activity#comment-20738 Great article. Solid tips and I agree with everything here. One thing we will be trying next year in my league is having the top 8 (of 16) teams qualify for a playoff pool. A portion of everyone's annual fees in October go to the playoff pool, but only eight get to participate. Because only the top 3 regular season finishers get paid in this pool, having a playoff pool increases competition among the 6th to 12th (-ish, depending on how tight things are) spots, and encourages more GMs to maintain interest (and make trades) right up until the trade deadline. - mcarmody Mon, 07 May 2012 15:26:34 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4609-fostering-manager-activity#comment-20720 Protected lists apply to leagues that aren't full keeper leagues, where you don't keep 100% of your roster from one season to the next. In my league we keep 15 of 22 roster players, and the rest go back into the draft. Aug. 15 is our deadline to announce who we're keeping and who we're cutting. - angelofharlem (Glen) Sun, 06 May 2012 20:30:18 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/hoos/4609-fostering-manager-activity#comment-20719 You mention a protected list for the draft? How does that work and which players does that apply too? - Cracker Sun, 06 May 2012 17:25:58 +0100
