56 game NHL regular season confirmed.

January 13th is the target start date!

Time to dust off those rosters and fine tune your franchise for the upcoming FNHL season!

Figured I would post what might happen in RL expansion draft for Seattle.

As a fan, this is who I think would be available for them:

Forwards: Fast, Neiderreter, Martinook, Geekie
Defense: Skjei, Fleury, Gardiner
Goalie: Reimer

I am thinking if they're looking long term Fluery would be the best overall of contract/future. Skjei would be second. I am hoping we throw a prospect for them to take Gardiner.

I'd say most teams are seeing what happens with players this year to factor in who is exposed. Like Geekie/Fast may be protected instead of someone like Dzingel.

nice post. Canes have a good team and can afford to give up a decent player without negatively impacting their lineup.

So I'm Sizzrat 2.0?!!!! Really!??

Yup! That’s what u r!

My 1st year in FNHL things were run pretty well by hockeyfreak3000 and Gilly

It was when Gilly ditched FNHL in 2012 that I jumped in to help keep things afloat for what was supposed to be 1 year but 8 yrs later I’m still around though PPG is in the driver’s seat most days.

The odd thing was some other guy named Sizzrat ( GMed ) initially said he wanted to commish starting 2012-13 but bailed shortly after saying that and dropped off the face of the earth.

PPG i take it that the 4 ELC contracts that can be protected are part of the 7 skaters and 1 G or 8 skaters and no G. Protection slots.

4 ELC will be over and above the 8 core protected.
