wasn't trying to complicate things- I just got very confused about what exactly we were voting on. I'm all for the way we have been doing it all season long-where if a player is on waivers after being dropped it is subject to waiver priority and if they clear waivers then it is first come first serve. For players never on a DTDL roster once they are available the first team to sign 'em gets 'em.
I'm not in favor of the option of signing a player and then the rest of the league has two weeks to claim that player away from you.
Wasn't trying to make extra work for you, Gguthe, as you have your hands full

Ok if you're not in favor of changing stuff than who is? I'd like to hear from you.
My only problem with the part you're not in favor of is that there was concern from others in the league that it rewards those who just sit at their computer all day especially when NCAA FAs are signing. We do want to advocate league activity but we don't want to encourage people to not have a life or have this be the only thing they do.
I think the best thing to do an alternative to the two week thing. Just make a roster freeze for when the DTDL season ends.
However the vote did end up saying they wanted a waiver period for ALL FAs counting new ones (I couldn't say that because of Proboards' poll limits on text). I think the two week period is fair and most of these guys are not jumping into the league right away anyway. I'm willing to make it one too. It doesn't matter to me that much between the two.

One week waiver should be good for college free agents. All other F/a's there doesn't need to be a waiver period as everyone has a chance to pick them up.

To make it fair only allow 2 Free Agents signings per week that way you do not have to wait a week before using players you want. Or have bidding for players and every 3 days the highest bid gets the player. That is what happened in pool I was in on Fantrax. You put bids on Free Agents you wanted then you put the picks in priority that you want. Nobody knew what the other bids were so you could not keep just over bidding whomever had highest bid.This fair for everyone and you have players you win added right away.

Ok if you're not in favor of changing stuff than who is? I'd like to hear from you. So far I think that we have Dyz, Taves, Swartz, Van and I all in favour of changing to a waiver-based system. I like the proposed rule that you drafted, except that I don't see the need to extend the duration of the waiver period to two weeks. It would probably be less confusing to keep all waiver periods at one week.

ok so can everyone live with the rules I proposed with the change that Sami suggested from making newly available (to anyone) FAs to one week instead of two? I support this change and based off of the poll it is the best set of rules I could come up with. If others have suggests let me know soon by posting here.

hate to sound like a broken record,
so this rule is in reference to a prospect that was never drafted by NHL or DTDL team who signs a contract with NHL team (whether college, euro, no longer draft eligible player, or player still draft eligible but gets signed, i.e. JP Anderson)?
is it any other type of player than those listed above?
how does the 1 week period start? for example what if a euro player signs as FA with nhl team, he is in fantrax's database. no DTDL team signs him for weeks or months, then one team goes to add him, does that start a week of waiver period? or does the one week period start from the date the FA player enters fantrax's database as a member of an NHL team?

If he was not draft eligible before than this applies to him. So yes many college, European, Canadian junior players that were previously undrafted or signed fall under this rule once they have been drafted or signed by an NHL team. Retired players for example or players who suddenly have new news about them but have been draft eligible for awhile--would not fall under this rule.
I can't think of any others.
The one week period starts when the player is now draft/sign eligible for the DTDL which should correlate closely with the Fantrax addition of the player so it is the second option you proposed.

sounds good-
as far as waiver priority determination, given how suddenly position can fluctuate given our scoring system- do we say that the standings at the end of the 1 week waiver period determines priority or is standings at the beginning of the 1 week or something else.

well this rule shouldn't be an issue until late next season as it was this previous season so standings should be reasonably stable. it will be just wherever the standings are by the end of the waiver period.
