I think we have to. Any other way isn’t really fair.

GM's who sign overagers are going into this knowing that AHL rosters have a limit of 24 and the draft isn't until say November, so I don't think 'fair' applies. They could have waited until the draft in November, then signed them.
On the flip side, what about teams who chose to wait to sign overagers closer to the draft and now there is an exemption for roster limits and they miss the boat? That isn't fair either.
For the most part, overagers don't typically hold a ton of value to begin with as they are often drafted later, so I think doing an exemption for that reason doesn't have enough upside for the broader implications of teams being able to take advantage of the extra roster space at the beginning of the season.
At the end of the day, it is a game and I am fine with either. But I am voting no.

I went through the UFA signings for the off season and a total of 3 overagers were signed
Yaroslav Likhachev - Flyers
Samuel Johannesson - Wild
Alex Cotton - Kings
All other overeager s were signed last year while 24 AHL roster limits were in place. I have yet to vote because I really don't know where I stand on the idea. Me personally I signed 4 overagers last season. Of course I'm going to have to make a decision about them (I never even considered that) but I had already committed a roster sport to them when there was a 24 limit... so the change of draft hasn't really changed that
I'm undecided, I can't separate my own needs with league. One thing I do see though was that the reasoning that teams that proactively signed overagers in the offseason like mentioned in the other thread is only 3 teams and 1 player each

Instead of unlimited, another option would be increasing it temporarily to 25 or 26 which may help.
I just don't like the idea of unlimited.

isn't it 25 already?
and I mean, there's teams which have 30+ players in the AHL as we speak. Teams go over the limit every summer, might as well officially allow it.

Teams are allowed to go over during the summer, but once the regular season starts, historically AHL limits have to be adhered to. So that's the question on the table - do we extend that to post NHL draft.

it's 24 for the AHL, 25 for the main roster.
I signed 4 overagers in February, and I think could squeeze them in due to injuries or something on the main roster.
I can cut all 4 now, move some AHLers to my roster, sign my UFA's and I'm compliant and see how the overagers fair whenever we have a draft if someone else hasn't signed them. But then I am forced to make a decision before the draft, same as the excess ECHL draft picks.
But part of my sell off involved a ton of AHL prospects and I figured I could make a decision on keeping 1 or 2 overagers based on the draft now, not a whole lot different then you making a trade for more picks then ECHL spots and making that decision before the season.

How many people is this actually effecting? My team doesn't have Alex Cotton, as I revoked that request when I saw another team already signed him. I have one outstanding and am still compliant.

By my count 11 teams are over AHL limits (for whatever reason), while 10 are over ECHL limits. Now of those 11 it is probably a handful that benefit from the draft delay.

Personally I was looking forward to picking through some of the tough decisions that other GMs were going to be forced to make, but I understand that covid altered the picture.

personally I like this idea best. Expanding it to 26 would give each GM two additional slots, which should help everybody with overagers without giving teams the option to hoard players as trading chips.

One thing I thought of, not sure the timing of how long the start of our season and the NHL draft. But we a GMs over 24 will not be able to send players/waive to the AHL through our team pages as there’s a limit to rosters in the script that will not allow more than 24 players in the AHL
The only workaround I know to waive someone is call up enough under 23’s to get an open spot, than waive your player. You’ll be able to send one of the under 23’s call ups down but only one. But this will allow you to waive a player if needed. Just be cautious of how many you call up because you will only be able to send to the 24 limit
Maybe this is a good thing? Teams over24 will have difficulties making any roster movements unless they league wide waive that player

What if every team state show many overagers they have and can only go over by that amount once the season starts until a week or two after the draft? I would still have to cut a few guys and any commish can look at AHL rosters and anyone with a watchdog can be checked relatively easy. Plus we should be able to use the honour system.

My view is that if we do anything it can’t rely on a lot of checking of rosters or tech changes
The watchdog warnings will be going out anyways because of the echl
But I would say we expand to a 26 limit for ahl until after the draft as that’s easy to check
Having to cross reference watchdog warnings with overage lists...that’s too much administration

why not just have at 26? Just leave it there and not put it back?
