Fantrax should allow a move to the IR for any player that Fantrax has marked as injured, right?

It won't let me move Seguin to the IR and I can't figure out why not.  He's marked as injured and I have one available IR slot, but that slot is not highlighted as an option when I select Seguin for a roster move.

Or is that an admin-only function?

I moved Seguin for you - but I'm not sure why you can't.  Perhaps it's because the team is not utilizing its IR during the offseason.  Eligibility is determined by Fantrax by whether the team assigns the player to IR.  Would there be no reason to do that officially in the offseason?

Snug - can you shed any light on this?

Fantrax is setup to only allow a player to be move to IR if their NHL team designates them to IR.    It can be changed but it opens up to abuse of the IR slots. 

As Rob noted , players can be manually moved by a commissioner.

Should we update the rules to accommodate offseason IR moves like this?

Whatever works for the admins.

I'd be OK with posts to the ProFSL transactions board with a link to a news report on an extended injury, but that might be needless hassle for the admins.

Not unlike what we've always done, though.  We could just reinstate the old LTIR rules in the offseason only.

With being able to do our moves on Fantrax do we need to bid to find an IR replacement or we could pick him directly from FA. If not maybe it should because when we have an IR we want to replace him as quickly as possible especially with a 56 games season. We do not really have time to wait to go trough the 2-3 days or more FA process to replace him

If you are concerned that you are losing games disproportionately consider Arizona's plight not having a first round draft pick for 2 years running. It's the same not-so-level playing field for everyone. Waiting a few days for a fair IR replacement bid to be resolved is NOT a big deal.

Yes. Same FA bidding rules as always.

Moral of this story - Don't trade your 1st picks

He was saying that the real life Arizona franchise in the NHL lost there 1st round draft picks for two years. So he doesn't get a first round keeper player. Nothing he did to lose them.
