Thanks and dont get me wrong, if I get sutter at 1.63 for the next 3 years i will be more than happy to take that.

I am apparently that guy to make the first mistake.  I read the contract rules as total contract not yearly.  Can i change my bid for Enstrom and Laich?

Since we just started, it was unclear in the rules and there's no other bids on those players I'm fine with that.  Please don't edit your posts though, just reply to it with your correction.  The reason for this is anyone can edit their bids before I enter them, so I have to scrutinize any posts that show as edited.  No bids should ever be edited.

Actually I'll just remove those bids.  You can repost bids for those players.

Gypsie, the contract is TOTAL contract ( I am pretty sure) so if you won Enstrom for 4.5M you could sign him for 2.3M per yr for 2 yrs for an example. I am pretty sure how this goes?

I hope LOL

His original bids were much higher as he was thinking he could break an 11m bid into 5 years, for instance.

Exactly what I was thinking as the 11m was over the 8m needed for a 5 year contract, or so I thought.  It is all good now though

Can Scott Gomez be bid on as a FA or is he consider waived and you would have to take on his current salary?

He's a FA.  Any released players are considered FA's and the releasing team will get a reduction to the cap hit if they're signed.

oh, ok , i understood it as they needed to be claimed off waivers to get the reduction.
