Inactive backups play 12 games, that’s the minimum. For active backups we want them to Atleast play 17 games, then it’s up to the GM to play them more.

What about playoffs?

I assume the 25% only counts for regular season games? So basically a quality team still will play with only 1 goalie, saving the extra money on their skaters for playoffs?

25% only counts for regular season games yes. I mean, maybe? Last season Hamilton lost to teams like TBB playing their backup goalie. The switch off is that for 17 games, teams can play another good goalie, and with the parity between teams getting better(thats the main goal), teams are persuaded more to have active backups in order to actually win their games. Now yes, they can only play 1 goalie and roll the dice on 12 games with an inactive goalie, but thats up to the teams.
