1. Keepers:
a. Teams may keep a maximum of 15 players each year (not including players on their farm team) with no positional limits. Teams may keep less than 15 players. Teams who keep less than 15 players will receive one additional pick in the Regular Draft for every player under 15 they keep.
These extra picks will come in compensation rounds after the Regular Draft. These compensation rounds will consist only of teams who have kept less than 15 players. Compensation round picks may not be traded.
2. Farm Teams and Prospect Draft:
a. See Farm Team/Prospect Draft Rules thread for Farm Team and Prospect Draft rules.
3. Regular Draft:
a. All players in the Yahoo NHL universe will be available for drafting in the Regular Draft. This will include players already owned on a SCKL Farm Team, as well as all players from the most recent real NHL Draft. However, players owned on a SCKL Farm Teamand the Top 10 picks from the most recent real NHL Draft are not eligible to be owned. If any team drafts one of these ineligible players, they will forfeit that pick and player, and will be able to add or call up a replacement player from waivers after the draft.
The League Commissioner will post a list of all ineligible players before the draft date. However, it is still the responsibility of the drafting owner to know which players are not eligible. The above pick forfeiture will still occur if an owner drafts an ineligible player who did not appear on the Commissioner's list due to oversight.
b. Regular Draft pick order will be determined based solely on end of season standings:
Non-playoff teams will be ordered based on regular season standings
Playoff teams will be ordered by a combination of regular season and playoff finishing spots. (E.g. 3rd and 4th place teams will be sorted based on regular season standings, regardless of who wins the 3rd Place playoff match.)
5. Draft Pick Trading
a. Both Prospect Draft and Regular Draft picks may be traded.
b. When trading Regular Draft picks, an equal number of picks must be received as are sent away. This is a Yahoo! rule. This rule does not apply to Prospect Draft picks.
c. Regular Draft rounds 11-25 are reserved for keepers. You may trade picks in rounds 1-10
6. Roster Limits:
Maximum goalie limit of four (4) goaltenders per team on the Regular Roster. This is not enforceable on Yahoo so alert the commissioner or co-commissioners if you see someone exceeding this limit.
Manually-imposed roster limits do not apply during the Veteran draft must rosters must be compliant within 24 hours of the draft.
7. Trade Match Period
When a trade is accepted and announced, all uninvolved owners have 24 hours to negotiate a better deal for either side of the accepted trade. If a team wants to make such an offer, the already-accepted side of the trade must remain exactly.
If either team accepts a new offer during the match offer period, the original teams will have one final 24-hour period to negotiate a potential final offer. Again, the accepted side of the trade must remain.
Example: Team A agrees to send Connor McDavid to Team B for Connor Bedard and David Pastrnak. During the match offer period, Team A accepts an offer of Leon Draisaitl, Andrei Vasilevskiy, and Jack Hughes from Team C in exchange for exactly McDavid. Team B now has 24 hours to negotiate another deal for exactly McDavid. Team A and Team B agree on a package of Bedard, Pastrnak, Jason Robertson, and first round Prospect Draft pick. The trade is now final and confirmed, and there are no more match offer periods: Connor McDavid for Bedard, Pastrnak, Robertson, and a 1st Prospect pick.
