1. I've eliminated the divisions and randomized the schedule since divisions are rather pointless anyway. The six best teams during the regular season will make the playoffs.
2. I've changed one of the IR spots to IR+, which encompasses day-to-day players. Since players can be held out of games and retroactively placed on IR in the NHL, this keeps you from getting boned if a player is DTD for a week before he hits the IR list. We had some discussion about this last season, but ultimately the rule wasn't changed because we were in the middle of the year. If you'd like both spots to be IR+, speak up and I'll make that change if there's an overwhelming majority.
If there are any other rule changes you'd like to see, feel free to post them here for discussion and feedback.
First change is obv fine and good, don't see anybody objecting to this.
I'm a little torn on the second one but honestly I would err on the side of making both spots IR+. It wasn't at all uncommon last year to have multiple players banged up. In fact it happened to me during a playoff week last season and it sucked pretty hard. Whatever advantage can be gained by temporarily stashing a player is going to be pretty miniscule and I don't see the group we have resorting to those kinds of tactics anyhow.
Another reason to make the second spot IR+ is because after the trade deadline teams will often times not even bother putting legitimately injured players on IR since the cap ramifications become meaningless.
