based on another discussion i may be a bit off on the 25-man = no rust...

however, at the very least, if wrong, you would need a 14-day layoff. Maybe a 9-game series takes that long, plus a day or 2 off between end of reg season/between playoff rounds etc.

i guess worst-case scenario you might see rust on back of Rotation in 2nd round, but based on small sample results, i see no rust at all. i'm pretty sure anytime outside of offseason and injury you do not accrue rust while on an active roster.

playoffs:

1/5th making it should guarantee respectable records in almost all situations... figure .540-.550 being the lower end most years that "make it" with a setup that minimizes opportunities for crap teams to make the playoffs.

small divisions and/or certain custom playoff setups could throw a wrench in that, of course. other motivations may come into play per opinion of individual of course. but anythng that increases % chance of a crap team getting in will do so, regardless of that opinion.
