Well, I guess this started a thread for questions relating to the rules but I have a couple so here it goes...
1) What is the difference between the place holder 2088 & 2089 during the free agency period? Does this have anything to do with bridge deals?
2) Can we use LTIR at any point in the season assuming the player has not played a game?

The contract view factors in players who had years deferred for one reason or another (most of the time prospect years). 2088 and 2089 are all handled the same way.
Yes, LTIR can be used any time after the start of the season. It cannot be used a as tool to free up money for UFA.

So we talked about not being able to trade picks unless we already payed for the season that the picks are in. So I was wondering does that apply to RFA biding also? Since you are moving the picks of the following year.

Yeah, it will take me a little bit to wrap my noggin around this one. I would have to add some code that wouldn't allow bids that use future picks if they weren't paid up for this year and next. I am not sure how easy this would be to add. I will do a little digging and revisit.

A random question but is there any stats used from the playoffs when calculating cards? I'm pretty sure the answer is no but based on some of the little known names making some waves it might be interesting to have them utilized some how, maybe as an add on to their current regular season stats and still have things based on an 82 game card.
Guentzel being a perfect candidate. Selfishly on my own team I'm thinking Sissons.
I'm sure this would slow down card creation but considering we can't update cards till after our playoffs anyway would it really change a whole lot?

Regular season only, pre-season / post-season would unbalance the fortitude rating overall with cards being rated from ~100 games instead of 82. |

Couldn't we still rate it out of 82. I mean if a guy plays 100 games or 80 of 100 and we cap the games played for fortitude at 82 it could work, shot % would be a better indicator of offensive prowess but otherwise the stats wouldn't be bumped up that much would they? Obviously rookies and depth players might though in similar circumstances as discussed above in my original post but I don't think it would change much for an established player.
I can see why it would be an issue but with a lull in activity I thought it might be something interesting to talk about. Obviously pre season isn't the same product so I'm not for including that whatsoever.

Stats from these games could be included with some extra work but the reason we don't do this as you, and any real hockey fan knows, playoff hockey is a different animal than regular season hockey is and for those guys that would be helped by adding these stats in there would be guys who suffer as well.
Instead of adding these stats in to the card, I had mused about having a more general stat added which would be a playoff performer rating (lets say in the range of +3 to -3) where a factor would be applied to a guys stats for playoff games only.
I think this idea makes more sense than to mix apples and oranges when deriving car values.

PLayers tend to benefit from being on a good team--why not include playoff stats which tend to be more competitive and give more and better data points?
What do you do with a guy like Clarke MacArthur this year? He has no value, as he missed the regular season, but contributed in the playoffs? That can't really happen in our league barring mathematical miracle.

In a situation like MacArthur and other players that didn't play in the regular season, their playoff stats alone wouldn't make much of a difference due to a minimum amount of games played, they'd still be capped. It would at least give him a player card but not much of one. It may also add a few players to the draft each year but this too would be very minimal and as Glenn pointed out, it would also decrease a few players values.

EASY answer. We should be using EVERY year's stats - aggregate, to come up with a more realistic product.
