Now that we're well under way in the 1st season I wanted to start looking at possible changes that could be implemented in future seasons. It seems to be running ok but there's always room for improvement.
We're always looking to recreate a realistic GM experience as close to NHL Rules as possible.
Something that I've discussed with a few people is a Bench. I personally would like to see 3 Bench slots put in for next season. The reason I chose 3 is the number of real life scratches NHL teams have.
Benefits of this
Some players that aren't prospect eligible, not getting playing time but too good to just drop could be put on the bench which would give more flexibility
Sometime players are injured without being put on IR, or suspended. This would give more flexibility here as well.
What do you guys think about this ?

Doesn't seem to be any objections so I'll put it to a vote sometime in the future

I like this too especially for players that aren't prospect eligible yet aren't playing in the NHL

Seems unanimous. So next year it seems like we will have 40 man rosters with 23 spots on the NHL roster (including the 3 bench spots) and 17 on the prospect roster. I think this is much more realistic.

It will put a bit of stress on salary cap with those having to fight For extra players at inflated prices (see backup goalies this year). Is good for teams with good graduating prospects.

I think you will see a bunch of the back up goalies that got signed to inflated contracts this year be bought out thru the compliance buyouts during the off season.

Good points It would be more difficult to fill out a 23 man roster than 20 but you would still be able to go 20 and have a full scoring roster. The bench would just be an option available for players that you want to sit that don't have prospect eligbility. Also you mentioned about the advantage of having good prospects that can sit on the bench. I think with a bench we could make lineup changes weekly so that way you can't rotate 3 prospects/extra players though your lineup.

So, do we have to carry 3 bench players or could we leave those empty if we so chose to?
