Those icons don't work. 
In fact none of them do.
I tried commish!

Down to business!
Chicago announces a blockbuster deal to acquire a key piece to rebuild the Blackhawks franchise around. We're looking to stay busy during this rebuilding year!

Chicago acquires
Goalie Carey Price, $5.9m (2013-2014)
Defence Paul Martin, $5.0m (2013-2014)
Round 3 - 2013 from Oilers

Edmonton receives
G - Jack Campbell (2010: 1/11 - 0 Games)
Center Jonathan Toews, $6.3m (2014-2015)
D - Cameron Gaunce (2008: 2/50 - 11 Games)
Center Marty Reasoner, $0.9m (2012-2013)
Center Brian Boyle, $5.4m (2013-2014)
Goalie Andrew Raycroft, $0.4m (2013-2014)

We're sending the Oil players and positions they need and want and a bluechip goaltending prospect in Campbell. Gaunce is another great prospect. Moving Raycroft was to clear room and he might or might not return to the NHL but he's young enough to hold in case he makes a comeback.

Tough to part with Toews and Jack but you have to pay the piper if you wanna dance!

But with that being said in Backyard we do this with prospects:
http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=15470.0 (check section E)
I don't have any violations as all of the GMs are active in Backyard and there are less people.

Hey Drew isn't that the same thing that's done in this league? What happens when you have completely inactive teams and the prospect has played say 60 games or put another way 20 games over the limit.

I understand Backyard is active with it's 18 team group. But the question is what do you do if a bunch of teams suddenly aren't and the team's rosters are mismanaged?

Also I see you ban people from your league. Under what circumstances to you ban people from joining? I think that's a great idea for pools on this site and we should do that too here in Franchise.

We are bringing Salak into the Hawks organization where he belongs. He should get a back up gig soon and is the key to this deal for my team. In fact he would've been Crawford's back up last year if not for Emery. I also prefer Kulemin over Dupuis in the longrun and add a draft pick.

To CHI
G - Alexander Salak (2009: FA signing - 2 Games)
Nikolai Kulemin, $4.9m (2014-2015)
Brent Johnson, $1.1m (2012-2013)
Round 4 - 2013 (FLA)

To FLA
Pascal Dupuis, $2.8m (2013-2014)
C - Brandon Pirri (2009: 2/59 - 6 Games)

Thanks Florida. My bad for taking some extra time to get back to you.

Thanks bro!

Hawks clean house and buyout this player due to his creepy appearance and the fact he's retired for the 3rd time at the tender age of 47. LOL
Dominik Hasek, $0.2m (2013-2014)
66.66%
$0.1m for one yr.
