can I pay all of a guys money that I have previously bought out in the current year? like X-C Victor Rask, Waived contract through 21/22, $1.6m this year can I pay the 3.2M I owe for the last 2 years now?

[Anthony]

Yes

***A GM may at any time decide to re-allocate funds to a buyout.  For instance, if LA is to buyout Doughty over 3 years, but in year 2 he realizes he has funds to spare, he may use funds in the 2nd year to pay off some or all of what he owes in the 3rd year in order to clear up future cap space.

Monday/tomorrow is the start of the Supplemental Draft?  Any prospect =< 40 gms is eligible is what I understand from chat with Snugerud.

Is that all happening on Fantrax?
Thanks

How do we calculate Extension in DNHL? Looked thru the rules pages and nothing where I think it should be "Contracts & Extensions". Thanks guys.

Easy answer: Total fanpts x by 30,000 2019-20 season / 25,000 2018-19 season and whatever is more is the extension value

Extensions
Contract extensions may be offered during the offseason "Extension Period" which is normally a 3 month period from when the NHL regular season ends in April until the entry draft is complete in June. The exact time-frame will be announced annually.  Extension values are determined by looking up the player's fantasy points in both the current season and the prior season.  The higher of these two values is multiplied by a static factor of $25K.  The result is the players' extension value.  Contract length follows the minimum/maximum rules stated above.

The minimum contract extension is $800k - any player that falls under that value must be extended at $800k.

** Contracts are rounded up or down to the nearest 100k ***

** Due to the Covid shortened season , 19/20 season is multiplied by 30k ****

I do see that the extension period ends before the draft.  I was under the impression that was just for our free agents and we could offer extensions to players under contract all off-season.  At least that is kind of how I remember discussions going about switching to this new extension value system.  If that isn't the case why can't it be?  Especially after free agency when folks know what their cap is it could be helpful to lock up their other players.

With the new extension rules we didn't want in-season extensions with partial point totals for the year.  I don't recall how we established the deadline - but probably I think we just used the previous post-season extension period as our new extension period arbitrarily, since we had that time period established already.  You are correct that there's really no issue with extensions right up until the season starts.  I'll throw up a post for discussion and maybe we can make a quick change.

can we make edits to our roster page on here now since we are using the google sheet for the official team info?
