Official Q&A Thread

During free agency when we are bidding on guys who still qualify for prospect contracts, like Jakob Silfverberg for instance, does any bid over just the prospect contract count as a signing bonus?

So right now Beantown has a 1m bid in, does that all just count as a 1m signing bonus this year?  How does that work?

After winning a bid like that you can decide whether to sign the player to a prospect contract or a NHL contract.  So in that example Beantown could sign the player to a prospect contract at $200k with a $800k signing bonus, or to a NHL contract at $1m for 1 year or $500k for 2 years.

Prospect contracts will be more valuable once we add the prospect extension discount.

That Khudobin contract that is being battled out is either going to be a huge signing bonus or a bummer on missing out on this prospect extension discount.  Best of luck

Yep... That's the price I pay for not including him on my original prospect roster last year.  Doh!

You're not doing anything wrong.  Colby is doing a lot of upgrades to the board and hasn't updated the league links yet.  Everything should be setup soon.  For now use the link Anthony provided.  You should see the league under My Leagues in Fantrax either way.

2 questions - 1- if I bump Mark Barberio to my minors does he have to clear waivers?   

2 when we are setting our lines I have a lot of players on my main roster and minor league that could be getting playing time.  Are we able to bump and drop players to our scoring roster from minor league as needed or is this against the rules. 

I noticed on fantrax this doesnt seem to be blocked.

1) No, if he's under the minor league games played threshold you can move him back and forth as much as you want.

2)  You need to post a transaction moving players to and from your main roster in order to use them in your lineup.  Moving a player from the minors to your starting roster without making an official roster move is illegal.
