When is the schedule published for 20 offseason activities? Does it mirror NHL?

Question: Vegas has 3 extra MiLR players. If we have roster space (3 or more spots) on our Active and reserve roster, can we keep the prospects up in those spots?

If you have the Active/Reserve roster space, FNHL will allow you to carry the extras in 2019-20.
Starting in 2020-21, FNHL will make it a rule that MiLR Max 30/30 is the max OR we might raise the max to 35 MiLR spots - PENDING.

Colorado is looking to bring back Paul Martin this season and provide him a formal retirement ceremony w/ associated buyout. Just looking to confirm I’m ok to sign him back this season and claim the buyout discount then subsequently perform a retirement bo.

It's a new season so it's OK to sign someone you bought out last year and buy them out again this year.

EndGame is correct.

Hey PR & PPG,

Do our 10% off-season overages also apply to our minor league roster size, or just our cap and NHL roster?

Good question to ask.

The 10% offseason overage applies to:
-Team Cap
-30 man roster increases to 33 spots

For the MiLR max size, I do not believe PR originally spelled out the max during the offseason but he's allowed it to exceed 30 during the offseason and season as long as a team has Active roster spots avail to move the MiLR player. For the offseason, FNHL teams have traditionally been allowed to go over the max until the regular season but we've also allowed teams with extra Active roster spots to go over the max as mentioned above. I will probably need to put it in writing to ensure clarity for all. Good question to bring up.

The intent was to allow commissioners to process transactions and cleanup the boards beforw the holiday rush. If no transactions, it becomes a small break for commissioners.

Makes perfectly good sense. Thank you, sir!

Wondering what the reason was for the FNHL transaction freeze period that starts tomorrow.

* Transaction Freeze December 17, 2018 17h00
* Transaction Freeze Lifted December 23, 2018 0h01 ET

Curious. Thanks.
