Therefore you won't have top priority anymore. Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/46010-s58-s52-alexander-thrower/#findComment-490740 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler 885 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 so if there's an inactive UFA someone offers 2.5 M you say "claim" and you get them at a league min?

It was implemented because of people just posting 7 mil on every free agent after it opened and then auto winning. It's far improved from the old system and it gives the worst teams the best shot which makes sense. Just weird it wasn't added to the rules.

It's far improved from the old system and it gives the worst teams the best shot which makes sense. I agree and disagree. It should make the worst teams have a better shot, not the best shot. The reason I say that is that we want to create parity for sure, but we also don't want to reward teams who may have also chosen to go through a rebuild at the same time. I don't think there is a 100% success rate on any rule we've discussed surrounding it to be honest. But this one is better than previous ones Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/46010-s58-s52-alexander-thrower/#findComment-490766 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly because you don't offer money anymore, it's like a waiver priority thing now. Offering money only matters if you can get someone to sign that contract. Otherwise if they don't sign within 24 hours the top claim will land the player.

You didn't make a claim, not that I care much, you have higher priority than me but we have to differentiate between the two, an offer and a claim because they can not be used as the same thing or it'll be even more confusion.

I posted S58 - league min.. how is that not a claim? Explain to me where the rule book states how that is an invalid claim. The rule book doesn’t say it needs to be claimed as if it were waivers. Pretty sure my original post is a valid claim, just because I didn’t use that terminology. I offered the one year league min as per the rules Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/46010-s58-s52-alexander-thrower/#findComment-490772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Admin Will 4,660 Posted December 16, 2017 Senior Admin Share Posted December 16, 2017 All the rules for inactive FA's can be found in the announcement here I am soon going to make a separate section for Inactive FA's and will post the rules there for more clarity Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/46010-s58-s52-alexander-thrower/#findComment-490780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Admin Will 4,660 Posted December 16, 2017 Senior Admin Share Posted December 16, 2017 Also, yeah, STZ gets this player. There's no need to differentiate between someone posting a contract at minimum and someone posting the word claim, that's just cherry picking. But hopefully that will be a bit more clear and organized once the other section is set up, sorry, I meant to have this ready before this off-season we've just been very busy with the other changes.
