With the amount of simming that's going to be done (and therefore injuries), I predict there will be many many cpu waiver issues. Everyone should keep the rosters to a minimum to try and mitigate some of the computer stupidity with who they send down and such.
Yes I forgot to mention, like Noexult said.
They will be turned off immediatly before I sim, and then turned off again after the sim.
We are aiming for 8pm EST for tonights first block to be simmed, then the league will be live and the new block will be playable (3 Days)!
Good luck guys.
Projected Schedule:
Block 1: Starts: Weds December 19th @ 9pm EST Ends: Saturday December 22nd @ 6:30pm EST
Block 2: Starts: Saturday December 22nd @ 6:30pm EST Ends: Tuesday December 25th @ 6:30pm EST
Block 3: Starts: Tuesday December 25th @ 6:30pm EST Ends: Friday December 28th @ 8:00pm EST
Block 4: Starts: Friday December 28th @ 8:00pm EST Ends: Monday December 31st @ 8:00pm EST
and so on....

We are using this as a form for some teams to be able to dump contracts if they wish to do so.
So be careful as to who you send down and recall!
My only concern would be the moves the AI makes for us mid-block after injuries in playable games. For instance, if a team like the the Isles has some injuries in a played game, after the CPU executes the 'best lines' algorithm to fill the spots, maybe a guy like Joensuu gets called up and is subjected to re-entry waivers. Don't have to tell you how many claims would be put in.
Not really sure how to prevent this... Perhaps a rule where only players who have reached their potential (white stars) are eligible to be claimed?

The AI doesn't call up players to fill in. It will use defenseman to fill forward spots. If you don't have enough players, it will register an error when you try to start a game, and prompt you to fix your rosters.
If someone goes through who obviously shouldn't, we can address that when the time comes. It's probably easier to do on a case-by-case basis than create a bunch of rules. After all, some people will want players to be claimed to free up contract spots, so they might put someone with some POT left through.

I believe this to be the case as well Beardfish.
If you are are carrying at least 2 extra bodies on your roster at all times, it seems as if they are the ones to fill those injury voids.
I believe if there are no further reserves on the roster I believe the same situation Jack laid out is the case.
IF for some reason that isn't the case and someone like Joensuu is placed on waivers, then we can deal with it at that point.

Eberle
Gagner
Marincin
Conditional 1st round pick (Condition being if the Edmonton Oilers make the playoffs the pick is a 1st, but if they don't the pick becomes a 2nd.)
Confirmed.
Sending you the offer with the 1st round pick in there.

Trade looks good to me.
On a side note, the ONLY two conditions for draft picks I will be accepting in trades are;
1) Conditional on Playoffs. (ie. 1st becomes a 2nd)
2) Top 5 Protected.
I will not be taking anymore variances of these "conditional" picks.
These trades also need to happen, so could everyone please make these offers in game;
- Michal Rozsival will go to the Chicago Blackhawks to reflect his recent signing.
- Carlo Colaiacovo will go to the Detroit Red Wings to reflect his recent signing. St.Louis must trade him to Detroit for a 7th.
- Columbus Blue Jackets will be rewarded 1st Round Picks in 2013 from the New York Rangers and Los Angelas Kings to reflect their recent acquisitions. These 1st round picks must be traded to Columbus for a 7th.
- If a team cannot fit any of those players under cap, it is their responsibilty to shed cap any way they can to fit that piece into their contract total. They will NOT be forced to acquire that player tho. They can decide to leave the player on its original roster.

Is it possible to extend the first 3 blocks to four days to accommodate people's holiday plans?
I know we talked about possibly slowing the sched and wonder how everyone feels about it.
Or even just a block 2 + 3 one day extension
wtf that trade has 6 players in it and 7 pieces in it. No way this should go through.
In the rules I stated there would be "exceptions" to exceeding the player limit for "throw ins" to even out contracts.
There are two questions I have to look at;
1) Is Ryan Ellis still considered a prospect? Is his role defined as "NHL" player. But he's not. He is listed as a Minor Top 4. That means he's still a prospect. This is a non issue.
So the only issue with this is;
2) Matt Ellis - Is he technically a "throw in". I am not overly familiar with this player, but if he's not exactly a throw in, this may need to be tweaked again. I will take a look shortly.
But regardless, it sounds as if Matt Ellis has changed to Tarnasky, a "useless filler'. So this deal will be approved.

I thought Ryan Ellis was a higher overall, but now it looks like the trade is fine.
and 
have come to agree on some changes to their recently proposed trade:
