New Idea For 4 Years Down The Road

[Prototype]

I was just thinking about this, cause two of my injured players seem to have the same thing on rotoworld.com...

"won't play until after Olympics"

Now, does that mean that they are healthy right now, but can't play, cause they're not Olympians? What about those players who get injured at the games, that's unfair to those GMs if they didn't get hurt in NHL play.

I know that one isn't avoidable, and it's the risk someone took by relying on Dom Hasek. But an extra two weeks without a player seems like a long time, especially if they are theoretically ready to roll.

What if in 2010... again I know this is a long time away, but better to talk about it when it's a hot topic... we turn off injuries, unless the player has been deemed unable to return for the season by the Olympic break.

Injuries are going to happen... look at Theodore (sorry Goffe)... but we're at a huge disadvantage durring these 2 weeks when it comes to recovered players. Just asking the league to look at the idea.

You non-playoff, playing spoiler friend... Prottotype.

Hmm... interesting topic...

I would think that if a player gets injured in the Olympics (like Jagr) that they should be considered in the CPHL as well... not sure I agree with you that it's unfair, since well, they got injured...

As for players who are noted as 'won't play until after Olympics', they should probably be kept on the IR I would think simply because we have no proof that they will play after the Olympics until, well, after the Olympics.

With players injured during Olympic play, there is solid proof (news sources) that they are indeed out with an injury.

Just my thoughts.

Jagr actually played today. Rotoworld has him listed, but he didn't miss a game. So perhaps he is not the best example to use

Perhaps we could just shut down the league during the olympics just like the NHL?

I don't have a problem with putting players who get injured in the Olympics on IR. They are injured after all.

But where we do get screwed is with players who were injured in the NHL before the Olympics and are scheduled to regain full health during the Olympic break. We have to keep these guys out for an extra week or two despite the fact they would be playing if there were NHL games.

I guess the only fair way to do it would be to stop the CPHL for the Olympic break. But not sure if everyone would go for that

Rotoowrld has been pretty good at keeping up...better than most places...I dunno about 4 years down the road...if Im alive poke me and remind me...if not...well I wont care.
