Vote on which you would like to see moving forward. As it stands now waivers will be the same but any FA add could be up to waiver priority (lowest ranked team has priority) depending on what you all decide.

Once you get waiver claim do you drop to the bottom of the list, or hold your place related to league standings?

Another league I'm in has a system where every player who wasn't chosen in our yearly draft is automatically on waivers for the first two weeks after the draft and waiver order stays the same throughout that period (ie-waiver position 1 can grab as many players as he wants). After that period every player is first come-first serve. Just an idea that I've seen implemented and it potentially saves the comish work....unless Fantrax has a waiver option.

I didn't think that you would drop to the bottom of the list. just kind of annoying to track and if you're still struggling or underachieving then I don't see why it would be a problem.

Don't want to add any extra work on commish, in fact thinking about it whenever you make a waiver claim you have to technically drop someone if you have a full roster. the player pool will keep getting replelenished then with prospects. This gives the teams at the bottom of standings the opportunity to improve there prospects.

First come first serve is a terrible option. I just don't get it, since it only rewards guys like me who are on the site all day in class or at work during the year. The bad teams just get worse.

I agree with tavessoul. In a 30-team league, it would be very hard for a bottom-feeding team if the best prospects get snatched up by the ones who are always online (and likely on top of the leaderboards).

Fantrax should be able to track all kinds of waiver options. They have a plethora of possible configurations available...

I completely agree with this comment. First come-first serve creates greater disparity in the league and higher turnover.

ok- I don't understand what this would mean for players who clear waivers after being dropped. If a team dropped a player, they go on waivers(subject to standing priority), then if they clear waivers it would not be first come first serve?
Also if a player(prospect or otherwise) has never been on a DTDL roster but has been available to be added for months, and a team signs him is he property of that team or it enters some new waiver system?
Is the option being that any time a team attempts to add a player(whether previously on a DTDL roster or not), it enters a waiver period for the rest of the league to see if they want that player? how long would this new period be?

If a player clears waivers I was under the assumption everyone had a crack at them so it would just be first come first serve. If you'd rather Thrashers I guess we could make it so once you try sign anyone you have to wait a week even after a week of waivers.
If he is added to the system and never has been owned, I suppose he ought to be entered into a week long waiver period.
Lots of questions Thrashers. I'd kind of like you to provide what you think should be a solution if you can so I can comment off of that. I think the period should be a week though for whenever we decide to use a waiver period.

A couple of newbie questions on all the FA and waiver stuff, and not sure if this can happen in this league:
Suppose Thrashers were in 10th place, Sabres were in 20th, and Sharks were in 30th...
Thrashers submit to claim Player A on free agency, and Sabres submit to claim Player B.
Just before the waiver period ends, Sharks then claim Player B from the Sabres (because they're lower in the standings).
Can the Sabres now go after Player A? If the Sharks waited until the last minute, would the Sabres be out of luck?
Also, is there a limit to one player a week, or can the Sharks claim both Player A and B?
Just wondering...

Not going to lie this FA thing is really really getting on my nerves.
My understanding was that you could put down as many claims as you wanted per week. So in your example the Sabres could do that.
The reason why I am getting annoyed (not with anyone but with this "issue") is that no one raised any concerns about it at all until after the season. I would've liked to at least had this raised before the season ended when everyone was more or less active.
Based off of the results of the poll I would like to propose the following. I think this adequately covers the concerns about "newly" eligible players thus ensuring there isn't a rush on them (the guidelines are slightly altered by a week from any other roster drop). The end result is also that everyone gets a fair shot at those "new" players but doesn't bog the system down with a GM trying to claim some guy who has been out there for awhile that no one ever put a claim in for:
1) All FAs dropped from a DTDL team will follow a one week waiver period where anyone can put down as many claims as they desire within roster, cap, and other organizational limits.
1B- The player cannot be added on Fantrax until the end of the waiver period.
2) Any new FAs on the Fantrax systems and/or have become newly eligible to the DTDL in a waiver period of two weeks can be claimed by a team during that period. Once a team claims the player a new two week window opens were waiver priority dictates where the player ends up. If the player goes unclaimed then he will be treated as any other FA.
3) Waiver Priority goes to the team with the lowest standing in or from the most recent season. The number of add/drops are only limited to 50 per season (according to Fantrax), unsuccessful claims do not count against the 50 non-trade roster adds.
4) After a waiver period has passed anyone can sign a player outright and add them to Fantrax as soon they post here.
Let me know what you all think.
