Having problems with message search?
Well, good points have been raised by at least two GM's in regard to this question/rule. Perhaps for the upcoming season, anyway, we should amend the proposal to make each team's roster plus or minus a maximum of 3 players. This would at least lay the groundwork for future roster size expansion (or contraction if necessary), and yet would still facilitate the uneven trade ability as proposed by the Torsion. The Hunter Down's point is valid - 12 forwards, 6 defence, and 2 goalies need to be on your roster in order to count maximum points.
However, the Gardeners also have a valid point - if a GM (for whatever reason) wanted to purge his roster (eg. essentially giving up for the season) he could effectively make several 4 for 1 (or worse) deals, and could hypothetically reduce his roster to less than 10 players.
In a worst case scenario, a crappy team could essentially pair up with a stronger team, make several
lopsided trades, and basically get all their good players on the stronger team roster. At the end of the season, the stronger team GM could split the prize winnings with the weaker team (who would probably fold his team in July, seeing as the 10 or so players he has left are really really crappy), and we would be left with 8 unhappy GMs, and 1 happy one.
I believe having a minimum player limit would help to deter collusion such as this scenario. For the upcoming season, does everyone agree that +/- 3 players would work? At the re-draft next September, the rosters should be required to be reset to the 30 player maximum (at that time only). The reasoning for the 30 player limit at the redraft is to place a value on a team's roster slot. If we allowed for an expanded roster size at redraft, then it reduces the value of all the available free agents - I know that if I had an extra 5 spots to fill, it would be very easy to do
so, and the free agent pool for next year would be severely depleted.
I will post the amended poll question tonight, allowing for a gain or loss of a maximum of 3 players. The existing poll will be deleted in the near future.

I'm fine with that as well. We did vote yes in the first place because we
feel it doesn't really matter if a guy has 40 players on his roster it's
still only the top 12 forwards that count. For all we care if someone wants
to trade 10 guys off his roster for 1 then let him. He'll not be fully
utilizing his roster space and that's his own damn fault. If a guy trades
all his players it's up to him to figure out how to get guys back to in
order to count for him. If Lou Lamarello decides to blow out his own teams
salary cap then it's up to him to figure out how to get it back under 44 mil
by the time the season starts (nice work by the way). With this in mind I
dont' understand why we need to have 30 players at the end of the fall
draft. If I have made trades and am down to 26 players on my roster and
then want to blowout all my bidding points on 1 guy and bring my roster up
to 27 what is wrong with that? In the end though as long as we are allowed
to make 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 trades the Hunter Down is happy.
