Just wanted to confirm that the keeper rule/custom surrounding franchise moves is still in effect and I'd select Minnesota keepers this offseason and would begin selecting L.A. keepers next offseason.  Thanks.

Yes!

Inquiry about salaries and Cap considerations for increasing to keep up with NHL

Salary Cap Static since 2021?
NHL current cap is 82.5 for 24 players
Our cap is 95 for 30 players
Equivalent cap would be 103m (3.4375 per roster slot)

How is cap determined?
Seems top players in our league getting very expensive
A lot of current bottom six players in NHL taking minimum inconsistent with our salary structure

I do not have any ideas / suggestions - just questions

its fixed because its 25k x fantasy points for the player so there is no real need to change the cap every time the NHL changes theirs. when it was changed to this method we calculated what our cap should be based on our roster sizes and number of teams in the league. the 2 years where there was less games played because of covid we made and adjustment in the 25k to compensate for the short seasons. if anyone thinks that the calculating numbers need to be adjusted they can always start that discussion. also 1 of the results people wanted was to increase the number of players available in FA

Where do we find flex-waivers again? I can never find them.

Flex waivers were a casualty of converting contracts to Fantrax.  They were too much of a pain in the rear to administer.

Hey so the rules state we round extention values up or down to the nearest $100k. Any changes on this that I'm not aware of? (Morrissey caught my eye)

Stopped rounding when we let Fantrax take the wheel on contracts and instated the $25k/pt rule.  Since we have unrounded drops.  Seemed to make sense.

So...we'll be stuck with up to $75k dead cap now assuming it doesn't also make sense to have fractional contract bids in free-agency.
