Position Change proposal

[Carolina GM]

TSN has really become a non-factor for being up to date on players and position changes. In fact, they are very far behind on creating complete profiles for new players. My proposal is the following small change.

PLAYER POSITION:
1. Players can only be moved to their natural position(s) as shown on one of the following websites:

TSN - www.tsn.ca/nhl/players
HDB - www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/find_player.php
EP - www.eliteprospects.com/search/player?

[Carolina GM]

BTW, there are obviously plenty of websites to get updated player positions. However, HDB and EP would be good additions, especially for new players. I believe, could be wrong, the commish already uses HDB for players with no TSN player profile.

Or as long as the GM providing the position change send a link with the change.

[Carolina GM]

The GM's are responsible for sending in a position change, but there has to be "approved" websites that we get the information from. My understanding, is that TSN is the main one and HDB is used to create a player if TSN doesn't have a player profile.

The problem is TSN is not updating like they used to and guys like Moritz Seider and Dawson Mercer still are without a player profile. Seider and Mercer have 32pts and 25 points respectively.

I agree again, Ron. With the drop in activity from TSN it couldn't hurt to diversify where we get our info from.

We're already using EP for prospects, anyways, and HDB has always been a reliable source from my experience.

It certainly couldn't hurt to have more than one approved source. A lot of these players, especially younger guys, are playing off positions in the NHL anyways because of needs.
