When looking up extension values we are supposed to use the best ranking of the previous 2 years correct?

Just wanted to make sure because I think the example given of Dubois should be 7.8m a year instead of the 6m for RFAs in contraction draft.

You are correct we are using last 2 years and basing on highest value. However, I just double checked and think Dubios is still at 6m.

I think your 7.8m is coming from only available players currently as FA so don't forget to select all players available. Easy to overlook default is set to available only.

2018-19 he was ranked 34th overall C >> 6m
2019-20 he was ranked 36th overall C >> 5.7m

Totally correct.  My bad.

Another question, I apologize, could someone explain the mechanics of bidding on 0-30 games played players in FA.  I understand how to bid, but what exactly is a rookie contract?

In DNHL it would be once a player goes over the draft eligible limit, so in this case 31 games and then you'd have them for the year they went over and the next on the $0.5m contract.  After which they would be a RFA.

Does it work the same here?

yes if you pick him in the contraction draft he follows the prospect contract rules. if you win him in FA his contract still follows the prospect contract but the amount over that in the bid is signing bonus and comes off your cap. the bid would be PC + signing bonus = total bid

i was wrong with my other reply with the  C draft. the contract he has is what you keep with him but Ill have to read the rules better first but the FA part was correct

Right any guys who fit the minors eligibility 0-30 games being taken in this draft now are going based on real contract still. We already had an example with Oettinger:

G Jake Oettinger, $0.9m (2021-2022) [RFA]



Once remaining guys FA:

They follow bidding structure mentioned where you use your cap space as signing bonus and they hit minors at a min contract ($0.5m). Contract would kick into effect the season they hit 31 games and become RFA in 2 years like a normal rookie contract at this point.

Also Here is what we have in rules:

How to Bid on Rookie Players:
- Bidding will be done in the form of a base Rookie Contract (RC) plus a signing bonus
- Signing bonus will count against your cap, and will be able to be split over 2 years
- Remember that RC's are not allowed on NHL Rosters if the player isn't actually in the NHL; This in effect negates the need for people to bid on a RC eligible player under normal FA terms, as they wouldn't be eligible for the NHL Roster
- Upon winning a RC player, their contract will look like: D Joe Schmoe, $0.5m (R)
Examples of how to bid on RC Players:
D - Lumbering Pylon - TOR
RC

G - Stone Woll - MTL
RC + $4m

What happens when a player goes on waiver and half of his salary is paid by another team. If the player is claimed what happens to the 50% paid by the team involved in the previous trade and we based the 80%/20% on his full salary or only on 50%.
Hope this is clear

or if I want to buy out Kase (2.6M) with 1.3M  given by Boston in the trade how much it will cost me?

I think I found my answer. The 1.3M is not really attached to Kase. It is only a 1.3M extra money added to my cap space so I don't have to consider it in buyout or waiver

In Free Agency is there a rule regarding the maximum number of concurrent bids a GM may have?
