Define "Rookie"

[kckolbe]

It'll likely be addressed, and your concerns are reasonable. However as a Canadian I am constitutionally obliged to point out that "Rookies" who have actually been in the league for a bit happens a lot in hockey, since the definition of a rookie in the NHL is "someone who has not played 25 games last year, or 6 games in the last 2 years at the professional level"

Because of that Ken Dryden was actually playoff MVP the year before his rookie year, and Sergei Makarov won rookie of the year at age 31.

That's kind of my point. There is a line, however arbitrary, to prevent complete unfairness. I was thinking being on a team for more than half a season.
