That rule if it existed still wouldn't be relevant with Hardy since, well we all know he is meant to be going, but word is he'll linger for a short while, point is he isn't going to be officially inactive by the drafts end anyway, and considering he may be having a very short break, dropping him may not have much upside anyway.
... I tried my damndest to ensure that my post didn't read like I was proposing it in order to aid myself !! As I said, forget Hardy.
The situation merely made me think of something that could be written into the rules for future games, and merely used my
**** up to illustrate it. Because being in the situation the I outlined (forget Hardy and forget that he might be coming back!) would pretty much write you out of the game before it had even begun!
I know that's the same if your number one pick gets injured a week or two in, but I think that it would merit a rule change in the event of the game not having even started yet...
I just got thinking is all.
