It's going to be difficult for me to attend during a week day. I can probably do something on the weekend, but don't worry about me. I'm just happy to be here.

Moscow Portland Simi St. Roch Maybe Nebraska Maybe Vegas So far I have... Yes:Moscow Oslo St. Roch Portland Simi Valley Maybe:Nebraska Vegas Melbourne Also, is it possible we can put together an agenda or forum of what we’d like to discuss. I think it’ll help move things along and prepare people for what’s on the table. Anyone is welcome to do that, as it certainly would help and I'd appreciate it, but I'm afraid that it won't be me. Any volunteers? I imagine we will get the Draft Lottery out of the way first. When that is completed, we will hold a discussion, allowing people to propose rule changes and any other thoughts they may have on subjects related to the league. Anyone that is planning to attend may floor their proposal during the meeting, or may submit it to me ahead of time if you'd like. Likewise, anyone not able to the conference is welcome to PM me any proposals that they may have, and I can floor them in your stead.

It's a maybe for me, but send me the info/link, and I might be able to join late (e.g. at 10 EST) As it could potentially help out Tim in making the conference, we'll settle on holding our conference at 10pmET/7pmPT on Monday August 16th. Details to come on how to connect, etc.

Regardless of the time, can someone include me on the invite please and - if you're using Teams or similar - record the discussion?
Also, can I add one item to the agenda for discussion:
- The impact of healthy scratches on the playoffs and final; is it a problem we need to mitigate?
First - let me say, this did not affect this year's final, so it is not an excuse - Simi and I got randomly smashed in equal measure, as did we all during the playoffs. Sure - 'you should have depth' - is valid, but healthy scratches feel different to injuries. Healthy scratches often happen at the last minute too which leaves non North-Americans like Hauk and I in the hole to make late changes because we're asleep or neck deep in meetings at work.
My proposal would be to move the end of the season a few weeks earlier, although this might have implications for the trade deadline. I would argue that integrity of the playoffs is more important than guessing if a player is better off at a new team when they have been traded.

Things that I would like to cover:
1. Addressing the 6-6 tie. This must be addressed or at very least changing the tiebreaking structure. We need a real solution for this. 2. Changing the contract structure. I know I have discussed this with a couple of owners and this would NOT be something we would enact immediately but I think it is a worthy conversation to big everyone into so that it can be voted on in our "Winter Meeting". 3. The idea of a "Winter Meeting/Summit". It is clear that trying to address league issues in the offseason is next to impossible. I would like to try and have a calendar during the season when everyone is a little more hockey focused. 4. Changing minimum goalie starts from 2 to 3 and increasing transactions for the week from 3 to 4 (or to exclude goalies from that movement).
Sure I am missing things so please feel free to add other topics to discuss.
Thanks.

I will host the meeting through my team's license
Adam - let me know the date and time and agenda. I will send the invite to all GMs.
I will not be able to record, as it is a work provided license. Any recordings auto upload to my work SharePoint and will act as an incident of misuse
I will see if I can change something within my account which will allow me to record and save locally, but no promises

As said, can't join - chose No from the invite but I guess it's not automatically respond?
