Waiver Claim Frequency Issue?

Zeke K · 10-30-2021, 05:38 PM

In my game on Nov 5-10th there were 13 waiver claims, which means that there is a pretty big (and getting bigger) group of 2 and 2.5 star guys on teams with no movement clauses. There are waiver claims near daily. As previously mentioned on the day after the game sends all the AHL players onto waivers I lost 7 players on my team. I think this one may need another look-at for adjustment.

Have other people noticed lots of NHL waiver claims too?

I have noticed this too, almost daily there are numerous guys on waivers and numerous claims. Some are players that have no business being on waivers as well.

I also find that too many players getting claimed. It is also noticeable that these are players which have often two to two and half stars, are in there best hockey ages and have often some development potential. The question may not be why they are claimed but why they are sent down. This may have to do with internal budet or cap issues as I have noticed that many teams tend to spend over there internal budget at times over the saison.

Whatever the issue is, it needs to be addressed in a patch. I took more notice of this now and far too many good players are being put on waivers far too frequently.

Wrote up some changes for the waiver logic today, we'll be testing them soon.
