31 Team Schedule

[Deleted]

How are you planning on making a schedule with an uneven amount of teams?

[Blue Jackets GM (Andy)]

A team will have to have a free week each week

[Flames GM (Beamer)]

Andy is correct - a team will have to have a "bye" in order to facilitate a 31st team. We all know that Bettman wants a Seattle team and maybe (hopefully) a struggling franchise in a "non-traditional" hockey market gets moved back to Quebec City.

Derek has created a "32nd" team spot in our 31 team Fantrax league for the eventutal expansion. Just assuming, but it'll probably be loaded with a bunch of non-NHL playing players so the NHL team playing that 32nd team will probably just get a bunch of Ws in the standings that week.

The 32nd team does not need to field a roster and will not have to go against other teams. It is just there for when real life expansion happens again. Team 32 is a blank, no name, no division ect. If I made a 31 team league we wouldn't be able to add team 32 in the future.

[Blue Jackets GM (Andy)]

I was thinking that a 32nd team was needed and each team will automatically get a ?-0-0 win so no-one has an advantage. My problem is just thinking, what about +/- and PPG, with those categories, isn't there a chance that the 32nd team win or draw those categories if your team has a minus rating and your team score no PPG?

[Maple Leafs GM (Tiago)]

Isn't there an option to just follow the real schedule? For example if Edmonton is playing Toronto that night , I would play vs Toronto in our league.

It could if you featured doubleheaders. But this league also runs a weekly cats scoring system.
