guys like boyle-R.Whitney-r.brindamour can be tagged for 2 yrs as the tagging option transfer's yr 1-2 to yr 3-4 but guys like marleau-brodeur-doan can only be tagged once as their contracts r up in yr 3, so i can tag doan but then for yr 4 i wouldnt have a tag as i used it in yr 3...

Thanks for clarifying that.

As for being able to trade these tagged guys I'm all for that as it would only help me improve my team but that's up to everybody else in the league to decide.

Marleau should be RFA actually, one of the reasons why I switched him with Chicago in the first place.

While I am surprised at the decision to throw in UFAs into the dispersal draft, it is understandable and I think that Eric and Bryce made the correct decision. I would have granted teams that didn't make the playoffs last year an option to pick one player in the mid-rounds of the dispersal draft while releasing another into the draft (a 1 for 1 swap). That would have helped some struggling teams to make a push for next year.

I really don't have a problem with the decision, don't understand where Kirk is coming from with his random rants.

And in case anyone was wondering, Nabokov will be tagged.

I'm fine with what Rex suggested.

I will insert a bit of opinion here since its become a larger topic. I was asked to look at the BRHL2 to compete in a pay league. I was told that if I bought a team, it wouldn't even be that team because of a dispersal draft. Knowing my team is not going to make the playoffs and will be a challenge to turn into a playoff squad, I STILL purchased my team. Is one of the UFA's you were searching for on my loyalty UFA list? Then overpay me what you wouldve overpaid him in the FA period, and everyone will be happy!

Is this true? Should Marleau be a RFA??? That would be great if he was.

I have got to be honest with you all !

I have no friggin idea what Kirk has said or is trying to say.

I don't understand most of what most of you seem to say you understand and it is driving me crazy.

IMO the tags just blow anyhow. Get rid of them. They cause more headaches then I personally wish to go thru and I know I will not likely ever use one again after my last Demitra debockle.

There is way too much politics in the league now, way to many rules and ins and outs. I am all for a league that is as close to the NHL as possible., but can we put the fun back into it ?

If not then I will consider making this my last season. The league is a good one, but the in fighting and legalities are more than this simple minded man can handle.

too much politics? the saga with bettman refusing for an American team to go to Canada? the Burke-Lowe (though both are idiots) argument? there's always politics in leagues.... biggrin

MARIO LEMIEUX TAG

A) Each team has one Lemieux player tag that they are able to use once every two seasons. (If you use it in year one, you CANNOT in year two.)

B) If you do not use it in year one or two, that is your discretion. But you cannot accrue tags. If you dont use the tag in seasons one or two, you will only have one tag to use in either season 3 or season 4.

C)      Lemieux tag players are 77ov or higher during the season BEFORE they become unrestricted. So in season one if Joe Sakic is over 77ov and is unrestricted if not signed, he would be a player who could be tagged during season 1. The tag can only be used to resign with a team if they have been there for at least one full season.

D)      Any player who signs using the Lemieux tag has an automatic 1 year no-trade clause; that will not be waived under any circumstances.

E)       Teams may NOT trade their Lemieux tag to another team.

F)       Unrestricted player negotiations are not limited to an amount of negotiations like RFA. All Unrestricted negotiations will go through Bryce and Eric.

KEVIN LOWE TAG A) Applies to players who fall between the 70ov-76ov ranges in the season before they become a UFA .

B) Teams have one Lowe tag to use every two seasons

C) Teams can accrue their Lowe tags. If they dont use it in season one or two, they then have 2 tags to use in seasons three or four.

D) Players must have played for the team for at least one full season.

E) You CANNOT trade your Lowe tag to other teams.

F) Players signed using the Lowe tag have a half season no-trade clause that will not be waived under any circumstances.

G) Unrestricted player negotiations are not limited to an amount of negotiations like RFA. All Unrestricted negotiations will go through Bryce and Eric.

not trying to stir the pot but doesnt rule A clearly go against v.kozlov being lowe tagged?? he was a 78 now a 73. but rule A clearly says he have to be lemiuex tagged right??
again not trying to stir the pot im just curious as to what the rest of the g.ms do? do we tagg based off last yrs rating like the rule says or is the rule written wrong?
