I support B I do not support A or C A) Allowing the teams with a BYE to have unlimited roster moves at the start of the playoffs AND three additional moves during the bye week is too much of an advantage for them, in my opinion. They've already got the Bye Week and having the same opportunity to set their roster on the eve of their first playoff matchup (which all four teams playing in the first round were able to do) is fair. Beyond that it becomes too tipped in their favor, IMO. C) That's just way too much player movement at that point. I don't quite understand what you're saying. Option B gives the team on a BYE the most advantage of all the options. Option C completely takes away any BYE advantage. Option A is most similar to what we have now, except all teams get to "reset" at the beginning, and then only get their per-week moves. It seems like you understand option B as a completely different option - unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying. It seems like you prefer to have all teams reset their roster AT THE START OF THE PLAYOFFS - so on Sunday night. But the way I typed out option B, it would have 4 teams reset on Sunday night, then the other two BYE teams reset NEXT Sunday. I could be missing something in what you're saying, but it seems like this option (D?) would actually penalizes the teams on a BYE week, since they could experience injuries etc during that week. So what are we trying to do? What are we trying to accomplish?If the idea is to limit the advantage given to BYE-week teams, then we probably should avoid option B. If the idea is to have us all roster our best teams each round, then we should probably go for option C. If the idea is to give us a reset at the start of the playoffs, then we should probably go with option A. If the idea is to give everyone a reset at the start of their playoff week, and we don't mind giving the BYE week teams an advantage, then we should go with option B. For the record, I'm not completely against option B, but it does seem to clearly give an advantage to teams that are already at a heavy advantage. I'm okay with giving BYE week teams an advantage, but it seems like some people - including Doug - have thought that the BYE week teams should only gain the advantage of making it to the second round of the playoffs. Being able to reset their teams before the 2nd round is - in my opinion - a huge advantage. Anyways, didn't want to type this much, but it seemed like there's still some confusion as to what we're talking about, and I wanted to make sure we all understood things and were on the same page when it comes to approaching our options.

Wow, Alex.. sometimes you surprise me.
I am in favor of a playoff reset, but not every round.

To summarize, we will be trying this for the 2019 DHL Playoffs:
All playoff teams can fully reset their rosters at the start of their playoffs - Standard Playoff Teams before Round 1 - Division Winners before Round 2
Our playoffs start Monday March 9th for this season. Seeds 3, 4, 5 and 6 must submit their Playoff Roster (similar to what we do for starting lineups at the beginning of the regular season) ahead of puck drop on the earliest game of the day. Rosters can be posted on a team's board in a new thread, messaged to the commissioner, or just set on FanTrax (whatever your team is set at by the deadline, is your Playoff Roster).
Seeds 1 and 2 (the Division Winners), are under the same requirement, but a week later for the start of Round 2, on March 16th. This is because of the BYE week.
