With that note.. we have returned for season two. This post will be your housekeeping and provide all the information and dates required for the start of the season.

To begin, a reminder that Mak/Blinny have been promoted to the NHL and HN/Mullet have been demoted to the AHL. As well, to attempt to keep the leagues as active as possible LB/ujju have been replaced in the AHL and we welcome Squash/Beard to the league.

Weekly recaps and trade announcements WILL be returning in a similar format to last season.

The Concept:​

Running similar to the soccer premier league system, you can be relegated or promoted between the 2 fantasy leagues we have. The bottom 2 finishers in the NHL league regular season will be demoted to the AHL league for the next season. 1st place in the AHL league regular season and 1st place in the AHL league playoffs will be promoted to the NHL league for the next season (if that is the same person, it defaults to the 2nd place in the AHL league playoffs).

The 2 leagues will have the exact same categories and format to truly mirror each other.

The NHL draft will begin 2 days prior to the AHL draft with the idea that the top league will not have another draft board to follow along with (making it a little more difficult).

Rules:​

1. Format: Weekly head-to-head (categories) — you will be matched up against another team every week and compete with them in the following 11 categories:
   
   Goals/Assists/Points/PP Points/Shots/Hits/Blocks/SV%/GAA/Wins/Shutouts
   
   Each category that you win/lose will count toward your overall record and will be reflected in the standings.
2. Draft: The draft will happen here on HF just as any of our other drafts run. It will be a 22 round snake draft, randomized order through a neutral site. 2 hour clock to start, potentially adjusted later on. Clock runs from 9am EST to 12am EST.
3. Rosters: 12 teams, each must draft 3LW, 3C, 3RW, 5D, 2G, and 6 others for a total of 22 players. Among those 6 extra slots, 5 will be on the bench and one will be in a utility slot, meaning they can play regardless of position. So among your 22 players, 17 of them can be playing at a time.
4. Roster moves: Teams can drop and pick up a maximum of 4 players a week. No limits on trades. You will have 2 IR spots as well as 2 IR+ spots, which includes injured players that were not placed on IR irl.
5. Playoffs: The winners will be determined through a 6-team playoff. Out of the 12 teams, the top 2 get a bye to the semis and the next 4 face off to see who advances. Teams who do not make the NHL or AHL playoffs will have their rosters locked for the final weeks to avoid interference.
6. Relegation/Promotion: The top finisher in the AHL regular season and AHL playoffs will be promoted to the NHL for the following season (if that is the same person, 2nd finisher in AHL playoffs advances). The bottom 2 finishers in the NHL regular season will be demoted to the AHL for the following season.

Note (The Mullet Clause):​

The terrorist clause has returned. Any funny business involving questionable trades, questionable drops, and/or intentionally not setting lineups with the goal of certain matchups winning so certain individuals are promoted/relegated is subject to me stepping in and reversing moves/locking rosters as I see fit. Basically I will do what I want and suck it up.
