Basic Requirements
You must be an active member of the ProFSL forum as most transactions are processed on the board.  If you do not respond to a PM inquiry regarding your status in the league then you may be let go due to inactivity.  If you plan on going on a hiatus of any type (vacation, busy with work) then please notify the commissioner and co-owners ahead of time.

Available Franchises
All 30 NHL franchises are available on a first come first serve basis.  The first 20 teams taken will make up the league and the remaining teams will be contracted.  A contraction draft will occur as soon as the league is full.

Franchise Name
Your franchise name is tied to the actual NHL franchise.  If the teams name changes, or the franchise moves to a different city, your team name must adapt. 

Roster Size
Your NHL roster can be no more than 30 active players.  Your minor league roster can be no more than 15.

Initial Rosters
Initial rosters reflect players that the franchise has as of the end of the 2011 season.  Any transactions after this date are not included in Dynasty NHL (This means Philly still has Richards and Carter).

Minor League Roster Eligibility
A player must have less than 40 NHL games played to be eligible for the minor league roster.  Any eligible player may be placed in the minors at any time.  If a player in the minors goes over the limit he may remain in the minors until you decide to call them up.

League Site
Scoring will be on Fantrax.

Rosters
C (3)
RW (3)
LW (3)
D (6)
G (2)

IR (1)
LITR (1)

Injured Reserve
Each team will have two Injured Reserve slots.  Players on IR do not count against the cap or the roster size, allowing for teams to add a replacement player via FA or call-up from minors while the injured player is out.  Eligibility for IR is determined by Fantrax. When a player is placed on IR by their team Fantrax flags them as such and will allow you to move the player to your IR.  When Fantrax news is not updated, such as in the offseason, eligibility is determined by the commissioner and processed manually.  Players who missed significant time the previous season or are scheduled to miss significant time the following season will be determined as eligible even if Fantrax hasn't flagged as such due to lack of updated injury news in the offseason.

Retired Players
All contracts for players who retire from the NHL are considered null and void.

All contracts for players 35+ years old who leave the NHL to play overseas in another league are considered null and void.  ***If a team acquires a former NHL player currently playing overseas with the expectation that the player will return to the NHL in the future, the contract cannot be voided.  The player needs to leave during the contracted time to qualify.

All contracts for players under 35 years old who leave the NHL to play overseas in another league remain in force.

Lineups
The lineups can be set daily.  The scoring period is weekly.
