Retirement Rule

There is a new "Retirement Rule" in effect. Here is how it works. If you have a player on your team that you had before week 7 or a player that you received in a trade. And he retires at the end of the year. You will be awarded compensation for that player. Compensation will be a waiver pick at the end of the draft. You have to pick you can't trade that compensation pick that you received. It is only yours. Say Jagr retired Tuesday and then Sakic Thursday. The team who had Jagr will get an earlier pick cause his player retired first. That is how that part of it works.

Labatt Blues who had the 11th pick in the waiver draft. Will now also have the 12th pick as compensation for Hasek's retirement. Hope you guys like this rule. I think its fair. If you want to talk about it, please go to the message board to discuss this rule.

Will Labatt Blues miss Hasek?

With Dominek Hasek retiring monday, what will Labatt Blues do about his vacant goalie spot? Only 2 teams in the league didn't have a 3rd goalie. Now with the extra spot being added to our roster, Everyone will. What will his decision be? Hasek will be hard to replace. He is one of the best goalies that ever played. Even in his final season his goalie stats were phenomenal. With DiPietro and Vokoun both being great goalies but stuck on horrible teams. I see the Labatt Blues picking a goalie with his 11th pick or trading one of them extra forwards for a half decent one.

SmokinAces team is up for grabs!

The Smokin Aces is the only team without an owner right now. The NHL finals just ended. We are not in any rush. Just wanted to put this out there so people were aware of the situation in case they knew someone that is interested. The roster is listed below. The only weakness is needs another starting goalie. But they have the 8th pick in the waiver draft to acquire one or trade one of their extra forwards for one.
