Franchise NHL - Questions Section

I want to request to sign free agent goalie Prospect Petr Mrazek..
I don't know how to do this and I want first claim on this guy.
How do I do this.

Gilly you need to email me or call me.
I am really upset about this issue.
I am having a hard time on this site and fantrax.

You put a bid in for him on here and then management puts him on your roster for fantrax.  Read the rules in the rules section!

trying to figure out how david backes is not on my team...... he is a "Blue" right?

It is the second season of Franchise NHL  and players have been traded. The players you see available are from the "eastern League", so if you view the eastern league you would see available players from the western league ie Kopitar

Due to the fantrax limitations, the league has been setup as two different leagues, one east and one west, but I believe the playoffs are still the same top 8 from each conference move on for the playoffs

how am I suppose to know who is available to pick up?
I look on fantrax and stamkos, malkin, kessel all show up among about every other player in the NHL.
I understand that there is only western conference teams, but jamie benn is there and there is a dallas owner who doesnt have him...... really confusing.

If you end up joining this league, let's talk. You might be surprised how quickly things move along with willing trade partners.

Well DickieDunn, I'm the new owner of the Sharks and would like to talk to you about trading some players.
Everyone else is also welcome to give us a call to talk trade.

So far from what I have seen the trades in this league seem fair consistently. I'm looking forward to working on deals with all of you.

Thanks!
BB

I play in money leagues usually with 14 to 18 teams (keeper) and guys usually take about 2 seasons to overhaul their roster. Guys in the cellar need to make a lot of deals and waiver wire pick ups to rotate the old under performing guys out of their line-up. 2 years is what's expected IMHO.

I'm revising my re-building forecast from 1 year to 6 months. After 5 trades in the past 2-3 weeks, I like the way my team is taking shape and the wait might not be as long.

Well will be more like 8-10 months as if it was 6 months the next season won't even be started yet. You have a good looking minor league but I think you'll down fall will be goaltending unless you can get a decent one in free agency.

I'm still burning over that Hall trade.  I still can't believe it was vetoed.  My team is garbage now.

I still remember how stupid everyone thought I was and we were even accused of trying to cheat.

Taylor Hall will still be great player in this league for years to come, so it wasn't like a Herschel Walker-esque trade or anything.
