Hi fellow CFHL GMs
I need a seconder for this proposal so that we can put it to a vote.
I’d like to propose a rule change for next season. The March waiver is pretty much a waste as seen by how many GMs opted out of it this past season.
I propose replacing the March waiver with a Protection waiver instead, leaving waiver picks for October-February only.
If this proposal passes, every team will be awarded a single Protection waiver along with their monthly waivers. This Protection waiver could be used during ANY waiver week, in addition to the regular waiver pick for that month. It could be traded like any other draft or waiver pick.
The Protection waiver would allow a GM to remove the protected status from a single player on their roster allowing that player to be placed on the GM’s minor team lineup for the remainder of the season.
For a player to be eligible to have his protection status removed, he must not have been played on a lineup since the end of the previous waiver draft.
This change to the rules would help teams who have protected players not being used because of unprotected players better than they are. It would allow GMs to dress stronger minor teams.
Will someone second this proposal?
