I have a question, Were the rosters set at the end of the 2011 season?

If so why does Philly have Bryzgalov?

The official roster deadline was 6/15 (the last day of the finals).  Philly had traded for the negotiating rights to Bryz prior to that date.

Good catch, Burns does not belong on the Shark roster.  I'll get that fixed.

Can the LTIR be used for any player or do they need to be injured in the NHL to be used?

I had a questions about FA's.  Let's look at a guy like Fleischman.  He is a FA on the Flames in our league, but got traded and signed with the Panthers in real life.  Lets say Gilly doesn't sign him, he goes into the draft, if someone drafts him will you have to pay him the contract he has in reality or the one determined by our contract extension rankings?

I'm pretty sure we would go by whatever the contract states on hockeybuzz or capgeek. I am pretty sure it is the contract they currently have in the NHL at the time they are drafted! Dont quote me but im 90% sure!
