How long should it take to rebuild a fantasy hockey team?
I'm thinking 1 season. You should be motivated to move out players that you don't want to rebuild around and bring in the new group within a season. I mean this is fantasy right!? So it shouldn't take years or it'd be like watching paint dry and I mean oilbased paint, not latex. lol
-
It can take a long time. If you have no trade chips and the free agency market is dry its tough. So it really depends. How much cash do you have, how many actual chips. Can you get pieces that are ready to start playing in the NHL soon but aren't on gigantic bad contracts? There's a lot to it. I'm going on into my third year in SD for FGM and I am just now starting to see some change. It's tough. Be in for the couple year long haul.
-
Ya I would say if your lucky 1 year but normally probably 2 to 3 years. I am lucky as I am not in a rebuild mode in any league here. It might be because I constantly just try to win and will refuse to rebuild though too.
-
I believe it will takes me 3 years to rebuild the :ANA: team here. :rofl:

In that case Snake you should hire a new GM to do the work for you as the owner. lol
Drew, I believe that works too but only for active teams. I also believe at any point a team can just stop playing in "re-building" mode and compete.
Joe, a long time is relative and I think in fantasy a "Long time" is one season. If you have to re-build for and not be competitive for more than one year you are bound to lose interest. No one like losing for too long.
I see my Franchise NHL Senators team as a 1 year re-build with a shift to my brand of core players and a farm system that's ready to move up within the next several months or become more valuable as prospects in that time.
A few people told me I can play without a starting goalie so I might just put that to the test or see what the off-season brings with the new pool of free agents.
I honestly think re-building is more interesting that taking over a winner or play-off team because there's more room to shape the roster to meet your needs and how you play.

Depending on the shape of a team it could take well over a year. There was no way to salvage the Padres in one year in FGM...no way. I imagine the same is true here. I stand by my conviction, it could take a few years. If youre not ready for that, don't take that team. Any owner who bails on a team after a year because it hasn't turned around is not a good gm...I stand by that!
-
a team that has assets and some decent prospects, sure within 1 yr. but if a team's got few to no assets to trade and a depleted farm system, i agree with joeshmoe it might take a few seasons to turn things around.
-
If a GM is very particular about the players he wants and has a specific shopping list then sure it can take a while to build a custom team. My Senators had a decent roster though one that was and still remains winless however we have enough parts to deal to bring in some nice players to build around for later this season and mainly heading into 2012-13.
I've been pretty active hear trying to make trades and therefore have moved things along in the re-building process but I can see how the team wouldn't change much if I only sent 1 or 2 trade offers a week since more than half the trade offer PMs I've sent haven't been answered or replied to in over 2 weeks since I joined and sent them. So what I'm saying is you really have to put time into this.
Of course I'm not saying Joe's SD team isn't taking the time it is to re-tool since trades also depend on other teams willing to accept players you want to move or even reply to PMs the negotiate. lol

No offense taken...SD had been in a tough spot when I took over in FGM. The trade offers were all trying to rip me off. I had very few pieces, and had lots of salary to move (my cap was 60m and 14m a year was locked up in Jake Peavy!!). And, there are teams in that league with more cap space next year than my entire salary cap. It's a very tough situation. So I draft, and sign young guys with large bonuses. I have to keep salary low costs in order to compete. So, I am waiting for guys like Christopher Hawkins, Javier Baez, Kolbrin Vitek and others to mature, which in the MLB can take a while...same as NHL; draft picks usually aren't playing in their first season.
I finished 4th in my division this year...it's a step in the right direction!! That project is definitely a few year process. I have had opportunities to move to other teams, but I've grown attached to my roster and I want to see what happens to it. I think that makes me a dedicated owner...and so you have to ask...why are you competing? To win now or for the challenge?
Now, the Bruins are in first place for their division and are looking really good. Part of that is that I haven't been quick to trade and haven't sent the pieces out the door. I have guys in the minors and my major league roster is a winner. But had I gone trade crazy, who knows what would have happened. Just my two pennies.
-
Edmonton was terrible when I took them over this past offseason, but one big trade really turned things around.
I traded Taylor Hall and Khabibulin for Scott Hartnell, Sergei Bobrovsky, Andrej Meszaros & a 1st rd. draft pick (which was later packaged with my other first to move up and take Sean Couturier)
Last year Edmonton won 9 games all season, and so far I already have 4 wins and am within inches of taking down the 7-1 Phoenix Coyotes this week. While I'm not done rebuilding in any sense, I think doing your homework and understanding each player's situation when you trade for them can make sense.
Everyone called me crazy when I traded Taylor Hall away, but I knew that he'd be on the top line every night against each team's top D-Men, and I knew Khabibulin only has a few years left in him... by the time I'd be "Re-Built," he'd retire.
I picked up Bobrovsky, who will be a starter in this league within the next 2 seasons, Mezsaros who QB's the PP when Pronger is injure (which is a lot cause he's old as the sun), Hartnell is a consistent 20-25 goal scorer, and I was able to add Sean Couturier, one of the few 18 year olds in the league.
So, you might have to make an unpopular trade, but I think doing your homework and understanding the situation each player will be in besides just looking at a stat line can pay huge dividends. Of course, this assumes you have a player worth trading...
-
When I came in last year my team was 1-5 but had lots of pieces to move to make my team competitive. I currently only have one player on my roster that was there when I started the league, in Josh Harding (just traded Latendresse). I went on a tare after my trading and ended up 16-7 and won the league. I don't know but that could be considered a quick re-build. I moved basically all my minor league players for players would would be making impacts right now. Sometimes going trade crazy is the only way to turn around your team.

I'm still burning over that Hall trade. I still can't believe it was vetoed. My team is garbage now.
-

I still remember how stupid everyone thought I was and we were even accused of trying to cheat.
Taylor Hall will still be great player in this league for years to come, so it wasn't like a Herschel Walker-esque trade or anything.

I'm revising my re-building forecast from 1 year to 6 months. After 5 trades in the past 2-3 weeks, I like the way my team is taking shape and the wait might not be as long. :thumbsup:

Well will be more like 8-10 months as if it was 6 months the next season won't even be started yet. You have a good looking minor league but I think you'll down fall will be goaltending unless you can get a decent one in free agency.
-
I play in money leagues usually with 14 to 18 teams (keeper) and guys usually take about 2 seasons to overhaul their roster. Guys in the cellar need to make a lot of deals and waiver wire pick ups to rotate the old under performing guys out of their line-up. 2 years is what's expected IMHO.
-
If you end up joining this league, let's talk. You might be surprised how quickly things move along with willing trade partners.

Well DickieDunn, I'm the new owner of the Sharks and would like to talk to you about trading some players.
Everyone else is also welcome to give us a call to talk trade.
So far from what I have seen the trades in this league seem fair consistently. I'm looking forward to working on deals with all of you.
Thanks!

how am I suppose to know who is available to pick up????
I look on fantrax and stamkos, malkin, kessel all show up among about every other player in the NHL.
I understand that there is only western conference teams, but jamie benn is there and there is a dallas owner who doesnt have him...... really confusing.

trying to figure out how david backes is not on my team...... he is a "Blue" right?
-

It is the second season of Franchise NHL and players have been traded. The players you see available are from the "eastern League", so if you view the eastern league you would see available players from the western league ie Kopitar
Due to the fantrax limitations, the league has been setup as two different leagues, one east and one west, but I believe the playoffs are still the same top 8 from each conference move on for the playoffs
-
I want to request to sign free agent goalie Prospect Petr Mrazek..
I don't know how to do this and I want first claim on this guy.
How do I do this.
Gilly you need to email me or call me.
I am really upset about this issue.
I am having a hard time on this site and fantrax.
You put a bid in for him on here and then management puts him on your roster for fantrax. Read the rules in the rules section!
-
Do as Chris said and open him up in a thread and bid...after 48 hours you will win him and like he said Petr Mzrazak will be put in your rosters for your use!!
Pm me any questions!! :)

I'm thoroughly enjoying the rebuilding process with my Ottawa Senators team. Unfortunately it seems 33% of the league is not into replying to PMs. Oh well! I will have to make do.
As I see it now my Senators will be key players in the Free Agent market this off-season and it will be interesting to see which players get released from their teams either because of inflated contract extensions that make little to no sense or because the player is too old.

So it wasn't an overnight rebuild? Like I said be patient, it will turn around.

Look at :STL-NHL: and tell me you can rebuild in 1 year and :ANA: is probably in a worse position, somehow. I understand :STL-NHL: , they suck in real life, but :ANA: is good. Somebody drained that team bad. So, yes you can in 1 year, if you find a really bad GM and drain their team. Actually, someone drained my team too, best two players are absent from my team (pietrangelo, backes) I do have something that should at least help me and that is money. With contracts ending this year and current cap space, I will have 43M to work with :beer:
-
Actually, the real life :STL-NHL: Blues are an amazing team! They've been nearly unbeatable since late November when they switched coaches. :toast:
The Franchise NHL :ANA: Ducks got destroyed by one trade last season that made little sense where they lost Getzlaf, Perry, Hiller and Fowler and in return received a bag of pucks, a pat on the back and a badly sung song and Mik' Koivu. How that deal passed I have no clue. :soapbox:
Anyhow, my :OTT: Senators are looking and feeling great these days. A number of nice trades have put my team in a position to compete this off-season for resources and in the standings next season. Since taking over Ottawa in late November, I've been able to reshape the core and rebuild the farm so it's not impossible Jonathan. Either way we should look into doing a deal Jonathan. :agent: :thumbsup:
-
yes, can you tell I am not a :STL-NHL: fan LOL I bet if they had my team they would suck. They are good b/c of the guys I don't have. Oh well. :STL-NHL: is still looking for RW help and probably always will be.

I mentioned the insanity of this trade in another post and a bunch of people agreed that it was unfair, and yet somehow it passed. That trade was essentially equal to this:
I'd like to trade Danny Briere for Henrik Lundqvist, Brad Richards, Marian Gaborik & Ryan Callahan.
Perhaps it's just sour grapes, but I'll be chasing the Wild forever unless I'm able to pull off a trade like that.
-

yes, that is how you fix a team in one year, assuming it works salary wise. Sign me up for that one. I agree :judge:
-
Jonathon, I wish you luck... I'm the GM of the Edmonton Oilers and I feel I've done a very nice job turning them around in one season... you can do it!
If you're looking for a trade partner, I'm always up for negotiations, take a look at my roster and PM me!
-
Edmonton, you have definitely put together a nice looking team! You've got a good number of valuable players at this stage of your rebuilding effort however I would venture to guess you stepped into the GM role with some great young talent still laying around.
St.Louis is currently missing half their roster for one reason or another and it appears some of their best core NHL roster players are gone except for Halak.
-
Actually, now that I reflect on the start of my tenure are Ottawa's Owner/GM I would have to say Ottawa was in better shape than St.Louis is today.
When I took over and there were great players to trade and help me rebuild the team the way I wanted. We've moved Bieksa, Fisher, Peverley, Latendresse, Tanguay, Clemmensen, Neil, Alfredsson, Spezza, Phaneuf, all great players in their own right but they either didn't fit into my team's philosophy, salary structure, contract structure, player style or age group.
Today, we have a core of Mike Richards, Andrew Ladd, Jamie Benn, Dan Boyle, Kristian Huselius, Brad Boyes, Andrei Markov, Brian Gionta.
Our youth movement is led by the likes of Casey Wellman (MIN), Andrew Desjardins (SJ), Drayson Bowman (CAR), Jerome Samson (CAR), Bobby Butler (OTT), Erik Condra (OTT), Ian Cole (STL), Dmitry Orlov (WSH).
Our Farm system never looked better with 11 of our 12 prospects being NHL bound within 1-2 seasons.
And finally we have two 1st Round picks, three 2nd Round draft picks to truly build up our prospect depth.
Ottawa is definitely not done reshaping the team and the off season will be an interesting one for sure with Free agency being a great time to go shopping for this organization.
-
Edmonton, you have definitely put together a nice looking team! You've got a good number of valuable players at this stage of your rebuilding effort however I would venture to guess you stepped into the GM role with some great young talent still laying around.
I traded away Taylor Hall for a king's ransom to the Flyers... that was the trade that set me up for where I am today... I also packaged Ales Hemsky with 2 draft picks and a defensive prospect to get Zetterberg & Hudler - 2 guys who have flex positions.
You're right, if you have one or two good players, you can make a few trades and turn things around rather quickly!
-
St. Louis isn't looking horrible. Not great for this season but they do have:
Patrick Berglund, $6.0m (2014-2015)
David Perron, $2.2m (2011-2012)
Evander Kane, $3.1m (2011-2012)
Gabriel Landeskog, $3.0m (2013-2014)
Erik Johnson, $2.6m (2011-2012)
Jaroslav Halak, $3.8m (2013-2014)
C - Jaden Schwartz, N/C, (0 Games)
C - Charlie Coyle, N/C, (0 Games)
D - Stuart Percy, N/C, (0 Games)
G - Jake Allen, N/C, (0 Games)
and going to have tons of crap room in the off-season to go after some players, these players are musts to be re-signed though or they will be in big trouble for the future instead of just this season.
Edmonton's trade with Philly was a good trade looking back on it now but I still wouldn't trade a cheap (3m) 1st overall selection without getting a good return. Hartnell has lit it up this season which he didn't last year and Bob has gotten equal starts and we didn't believe he would with Bryz signing that deal. I would say the Hemsky deal was your biggest deal for ya.
-
:ANA: skaters are doing well. I'll try to bring at least one starter goalie to compete next season.
Skaters only score
w19 Ducks 88.7 - Flames 70.6

-
I think I can say my rebuild is complete after a trade I pulled off last night...
It started a week or so ago when I traded Hartnell for Milan Michalek & a 1st round draft pick.
Last night I turned around and packaged both my 1st round picks and Devan Dubnyk for Carey Price - giving me one of the premiere starting goalies in the league. That was the one thing keeping me from competing for the cup, but now I think I can do some damage come playoff time.
So, if Edmonton is any point of reference, I rebuilt them in about 8 months. But like it was stated before, I had a good young piece to move (Taylor Hall), and that set this whole thing up.
-
Kudos to you Edmonton! A very nice rebuilding project with a number of good to great trades to put yourself in a position to compete for the championship.
Now I'll have to go an analyze your moves to see which teams and players I should work with. :thumbsup:
-
That was an awesome trade between Oilers and the Canadiens. I did a similar deal earlier in the season to land Jakob Markstrom and a veteran in Dwayne Roloson. I do think Devan is going to be a starter next season and just look at the super star studded team that will play in front of him with Taylor Hall, RNH, Jordan Eberle, Sam Gagner. That's some serious fire power in Edmonton. What's not to like?!

I'm wiping tears from my eyes man! haha

I know when FA starts, each week or so a different position is open. If you want to pick up a player in the minors during this period who is not on anyone's roster, do you have to wait for their position to open up, or can you pick them up as soon as FA begins?
-
that's a great question EDM.
i think hockeyfreak6000 needs to set the new 2012 FA dates per position.
-
Gilly / hockeyfreak6000,
can you clarify what the rule is for prospects reaching the 41 game mark?
are they automatically free agents as soon as they've completed their 41st NHL regular season game?
i don't think 40 games sneaks up on anyone who's marginally active in this league. if youre awol for 4months sure but do we have to send the GM a private message still?
lmk
thx! :toast:
-
When I figure out that a player has played 40 games. I will make a post and give a 24hr warning to sign him. I also check activity before the warning as I don't want to destroy a team. I know there is a pretty obvious player right now. I'm searching for a new gm for that team.
-
Yeah... that player you mentioned would create a Bidding War not seen since somebody decided to give Logan Couture almost 10 million a year!
-
a Bidding War not seen since somebody decided to give Logan Couture almost 10 million a year!
I looked back at he 2011 Free agency period bidding wars because I wasn't around at the time and holy, what kind of craziness was going on. Goalies signed for 12 Million a year. above average forwards signed to $7 Million contracts and so on.
I am starting to think I don't have enough cap space to make the Free agent moves I was hoping to this summer.
-
I'm kind of disappointed to see Nugent-Hopkins getting signed by his new GM. I was hoping to participate in the bidding for his services. Oh well!
-

There would of been no bidding war, me and my 30M would of had him.
-
so what's the penalty if my team is either over or under the cap limit?
do teams get warnings?
how long do they get to comply?
-
:bump: :disco:
-

It should be relatively severe, IMO. Teams should face hard consequences for going over the cap for sure. Roster limit should be less harsh.
-
The rule should be that a player who has played 40 games is automatically assigned to the major league roster. If it causes the cap to go over, or if the roster size is exceeded, there are natural consequences to this. We should then give the team a 24/48 hour window to resolve that issue. Allowing a free for all will create a serious tilt and ruin this league quickly. It will feel good at first, but it will be terrible later.
If a team is inactive and doesn't sign a player it would be unwise to Abomb that team and deter others from wanting it in the future. Furthermore, it certainly can happen that a minor league player reaches 40 games and somebody doesn't know about it, especially because they are not on the fantrax rosters. I think sending players to free agency is a bad route and will hurt us. This isn't a money league, its competitive but relaxed. That's my opinion.
-
After the season, can we trade a player who is due to be a free agent, but that we don't plan on signing?
Basically, can we trade a player's negotiating rights?
-
I believe yes. If you don't plan on signing him you can trade them up until free agency is about to start.
-
yes, agree it should be severe either over or under the cap ceiling or floor respectively.
perhaps a penalty of the "carrying cost" of the last players removed from a team's roster that caused them to drop below the floor... the cost is padded to the team's budget over the next 2yrs. for teams exceeding cap, you lose your top draft pick or lose the last player added to your roster than put your team over the cap.
in either case, i think you can only apply these penalties if a team has broken the cap for over a month.
at the end of the day, that's all for the EC + RC to decide. :thumbsup:
-
that is an idea for sure chris we will look into things more in the summer
-
yep thats correct drew
-
just checking back. what's the ruling on this?
-
the deadline to sign pending FA's is June 24th 2012 11:59pm...
if i sign player X to an extension for 1 yr... on June24th, does that mean his contract expires 2011-12 or does it expire 2012-13?
just want to make sure i understand how this works.
LMK
thx
-
his contract would be for the fiollowing season.
-
I will not let the tranaction go threw 100% once I realize that the team is over. But if you wana get tecnical I would say draft picks would be the penalty. But This is something we will vote on in the off season.
-
thx for confirming that.
so anytime betw the end of the playoffs and June 24th, a 1yr extension expires 2012-13.
great!
-

NHL does not rip up contracts if that helps
-
If nobody has that player in their minor league roster, you need to place a free agent bid on that player. He will then go to your full time roster.
You will not have an option to place him in the minors... at least that's my understanding.
-
what is the date when 2011-12 buyouts on a team's books get dropped/removed?
is it at the end of the Franchise NHL playoffs April 8th?
june 25th the day after a team's pending free agents were to be signed (june24th)?
june 30th the day before the July 1st start of free agency?
OR is it another date that is not currently post?
thx
-
when does the freeze of trading get lifted in Franchise NHL?
is it the day after the Franchise NHL finals are completed April 8th,9th?
or is it another date?
i poked around and didn't see it listed anywhere at this time.
would be interested in getting that date.
thx! :thumbsup:
-
july 1st is when the season roles over
-
correct skiz :toast:
-
after the playoffs

question, how and when will the 2012 draft order be posted and how's it determined. my guess is via the final year end regular season standings plus some combo of play-off results? or is draft order determined by some other means?
LMK
thx! :toast:
-
now that the Franchise NHL season is over, are all contract extensions dated to start 2012-13 for a 1yr extension?
-
Just curious but what will be the draft order for the 2012 entry draft?
-
I will post the order in the comming weeks.
-
Free Agency starts on July 1st. Hopefully this year, fantrax will let us put the whole league in there so you can go view "All Available Players" and see who the FA's are.
-
Im going to chat with Peter about me paying the fantrax fee...Im not a fan of the spilit league, I want it all in one, so everyone is together, FA's together, it would just be simpler :)
I have zero issues paying for it, love this league, lots to do this summer, lots to address, but by next season we will be ready and rocking :)

Move to the new scoring system and have ProFSL cover the cost, please don't pay yourself. I would say try that out before paying the fee on fantrax.
-
I hope to help out if we need it....updated rosters, etc etc etc...deadlines?
-
I was wondering if we'd be able to have our whole league on one page this year. If we have to pay 2 bucks a person, I wouldn't be opposed to it.

What about moving it to ProFSL's scoring system? Only thing we don't have for H2H-points scoring is Hits (although that is available for H2H-categories).

I was saying that would be a good idea.

What is up with this league? I know some of the commishes have left the site or have gone MIA. Also very limited activity from everyone including myself. I just dont want to see this league die after its first 2 years.
-
I hope when it does start back up that the leagues are combined. Please make finding FA reasonable.

The Commish said he would post in coming weeks, months ago,...... lol.

There will be a new commissioner as both Gilly and hockeyfreak6000 have went cold.
-
yes i think it will be moved to ProFSL scoring if the kinks are worked out.
I am glad Drew took charge to see who is in and out. From our POV, we had no active commish and no activity whatsoever, but that might be resolved now.
-
I'd be even fine with contracting six teams and having a contraction draft. I prefer the league to stay on Fantrax. We see what teams are occupied and which aren't and keep the most active managers.

I don't believe contracting teams is beneficial for the league as it is a league based on the 30 team concept for taking over a real team and working it out from there. I think it will be scored on ProFSL as there needs to be some hockey leagues scored there and it can support 30 teams and is free for us to use.

I agree. I am only here for the 30 teams. If it contracts, I would most likely leave since it would be too similar to my other hockey leagues.
-
I haven't had a good experience on Profsl scoring. We moved our baseball team there and there were lots of issues. If the site is up and working with no problems then thats fine. Its also not the most user friendly site. If the plan is to move it there I hope it works because split leagues on Fantrax wasn't that great either. Or every team can pay the $2 and have the league stay on Fantrax.
-
i'm around but waiting for a calendar to see what key dates are coming up since it's tough to tune into hockey during the summer.
my input:
* i would only want to stay if we have 30 teams.
* perhaps get a wkly schedule of roster updates instead of processing all the time
* consider a keeper rule to disperse players into a draft/FA pool to allow new teams a fair chance to build a winning team for the upcoming season to rehab the league
* use 4-5 commish/coordinators to help run the league especially because this is such a big league
* give this league a break until August 1st to regroup and then open the Free agent bidding
* ideally have all 30 teams on the same scoring site.
-
Relax fellas, the league isn't going anywhere. This is a dead time of year until the draft and FA begins(in real life). I'm not going to trade for a 30 goal scorer just to find that he gets shipped to Minnesota in August, decreasing his value. Most of us are multisport players in the middle of baseball and football drafts, so inactivity is expected. The hockey itch will come soon.
-
GM have until June 18th to confirm their spot. At that time they will be removed from the league if they haven't replied. Waiting list will be contacted to fill spots and a commissioner and EC will be put in place.
-
Karl,
We're getting things sorted out and we'd like to have our draft started in a week or 2, I'll keep you posted.

we are only 2 TC approving or :veto:ing trade here me and PigsRule :o

I was reviewing Franchise rosters, and noticed that all buyouts are being taken off the books as of 8/4/2012. Only players that have 11/12 contracts that were bought out should only apply. Unfortunately the teams are still stuck with the salary for all other buyouts till their contract expires. Could you please fix this oversight, Please and Thank You.
-
noted and agree. i believe it was a simple administrative way for SizzRat to identify additional sources of salary to be removed.
only 2011-12 buyouts will expire and be removed when 2011-12 contracts expire Aug.3 @ 23h59.

Very quick reply, This league is in very good hands this year. :winner:

I'm reading the news bulletin and see 2011-12 contracts expire 8/4/2012. If so, that means 2012-13 contracts kick in after that date. My question is when can we start renewing and signing 2012-13 expiring contracts to extensions? On 8/5/2012, when the real NHL season starts or when?

to resign/extend contracts expiring in 2012-13 ... we need 2 yr's worth of extension data, so you'll need to wait a couple of wks once the 2012-13 season starts to use 2011-12 + 12-13 data.
at least that's who hf6k explained it to me. :thumbsup: :toast:

I hope the Free Agent bidding is going to be reasonable. Took a look back at 2011 bidding and man were there some crazy contracts handed out.
Let's keep it realistic guys.
Allow me to fire the first Free agency period shot here by saying, Don't go nuts on us St.Louis. All that cap space you have is freaking me out!

-
it looks like in the past it wasn't very consistent. I understand if its over 1.5M it has to be 3 years minimum and so forth, but that wasn't always the case. Here is an example
http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=28369.20
-
good point Jonathan. my understanding is that the length of the deal would be flexible while the total value had to total the final FA bid.
however it was never completely clear where extension resigns can be variable length at certain contract values... ex. couldn't the <1.5m contracts be 1yr deals... and the answer was yes with the last set of co-commissioners but not documented officially in the rules.
bottomline, its one of the rule clarifications i've flagged for discussion with my co-commish SizzRat that i'd like clarified before the start of the season.
see here for its placeholder in the discussion queue under the COMMISSIONER'S CORNER thread:
http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=63260.msg348682#msg348682

I looked back through the signings. why did any sane GM let their goalies walk to FA?
-
Is there an updated Free agent list somewhere?
When are we deciding on a league page. It would be nice to view our teams and player pools on a league page somewhere. Especially before Free Agency starts
aug3-12: added question mark icon + added "question" to clarify post title
-
I saw that Pigs posted a pending FA list in the transactions section.
-
yes, it's in the transaction section, post titled "2012-13 FNHL FREE AGENTS RELEASED BY TEAM" (http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=65645.msg354766#msg354766)
as indicated in the post intro... this is not a complete list but a starter list of free agents released by teams.
given this is an advanced + deep league, owner/GM's need to use the ProFSL targeted search function to verify is a player is on any of the 30 team's rosters. make the Search feature your best friend this Free Agent season! :toast:
-
yeah, everyone should take note that free agent bidding should be reasonable ... rules can change season-over-season and if say defensemen and goalies extensions are devalued starting next year or the number of starting goalies gets decreased from 2 to 1 in 2013-14 who's going to want to acquire your 12m goalie or 8m defenseman.
these are examples of possible changes a present or future commish can make.
but of course everyone's got their strategy so ...

As in every year a player retires, this year Nick Lidstrom retired and he is on my team. I was wondering if we have a process this goes through or once a player retires is the contract therefore voided or null?
Here is the actual current CBA rule:
The NHL CBA provides that a player's contract does not count against the salary cap if that player retires
Just wondering what our process will be before I take action with Nick Lidstrom.

Regarding trades in FNHL can we make conditional trades with players or draft picks to be named later. I looked through the rules and couldn't find anything prohibiting conditional trades. Can you let me know if it's possible.
Thank you!
- Ottawa
-
...can we make conditional trades with players or draft picks to be named later. ...
not possible in fnhl as TC needs to vote to pass the deal so if it's not a final package, TC cannot vote, therefore no trade.
bottomline, no.
good Q nonetheless. :toast:
-
Since our salary cap mirrors the NHL, if the new CBA lowers the cap and includes a salary rollback %, would we also have a salary rollback to remain complaint?

great question. as i'm not going to make in-season rule changes, if an actual NHL roll-back were to be imposed starting with the 2012-13 NHL season, Franchise NHL would likely keep the current 70.3m cap thru the season and make any necessary cap change for the 2013-14 season.
i do not think in-season rule changes should be intro'ed unless it's to address a serious leaguewide issue that's detrimental to the activity, enjoyment, fairness of most ppl.
aside: that said, the FNHL goalie situation will be reviewed and a rule change is likely forth coming next season - it'll be posted for review and well in advance.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread but doesnt both those players still have a year left on their contract? Are you saying we can offer an extension to any player under contract even if it ends up less than what they are making?
just need to understand for strategy reasons.
-
I was just reading the rules regarding extensions and I am a bit confused. It clearly says that you have to wait until the 15th day into the season before you can start offering extensions. We have officially "rolled over" into a new year earlier this month did'nt we? So would we not be using this current year and 2011-12 to determine extension value? We cannot use this current year until the 15th day into it according to the rules.
-
I think I can explain.
As of 8/4/12 we are in the 12/13 fantasy season, and as such all players with contracts that state (2012-2013) are now in the final year of their contract.
We are currently in a off-season FA which technically takes place in the before the official hockey season begins. This league has a transaction freeze at beginning of the official NHL season. There is no signing of FA during this period, and there are also no extensions. Once the official NHL season begins, you can't wait a few games and try to extend a player at the rank they are currently at, you must wait 2 weeks. This is to prevent people from using the 2011-2012 season and a few games of 2012-2013.
Right now we can extend because it is the 2012-2013 season and we are using 2 whole season of data to extend, the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons.
Because extensions begin immediately, any extension at a lower value does in fact provide a lower cap hit.
I really didn't want other GMs to catch onto this because I wanted to keep this info limited and thus more to my advantage. But there it is.
Here are the rules:
Extensions: Teams may offer players extensions at any time with the exception of the start of the season when teams must wait 14-days (the player extension can be posted on the 15th day after the start of the season) for current season's stats to accumulate and be used to rank players. Contract value must be equal to or higher than the highest ‘position ranking’ within the past two seasons (including the current season). If a player has two positions, the contract must be equal to, or greater than, the higher salary of the two positions. Extensions must still follow contract rules regarding contract length.
Only players in the final year of their current contract are eligible for extensions. All contract extensions begin immediately (with the exception of the off-season period when the current year's contract must expire prior to the new contract taking effect) and replace current contracts.
Prospects can be signed to extensions in the final year of their deal. But the rates will follow normal extension rates.
-
These are the same rules I was reading. My question is now that we are officially into the 2012-13 season, do the rankings from 2010-11 still apply or are they now irrelevent? Or are they still revelent for extensions until the games actually start and then a 15 day freeze once the NHL games actually begin? It just seems to me using the ranks from the same years (2010-11 and 2011-12) to determine extensions for players with contracts ending in 2011-12, where we had to get them in before the new hockey year in franchise started, and then using the same years for players with contracts ending in 2012-13 is wrong. However it is not a huge deal for me, I am good with it either way. I am just looking for clarity.
-
These ratings still apply.
Think of it this way, when players are getting extended in real life, it actually happens similar to this. Players in the season that just ended can be extended up until July 1st, then FA starts. Then players in the last year of their contracts start negotiating.
Jeff Skinner and Sydney Crosby just signed new extensions. Jeff Skinner only has 2 season of stats to negotiate with. If he would have waited and played part of this upcoming season, maybe he could have gotten monster numbers and been on higher than a point per game pace, this would give him more leverage in his new contract.
I think these rules closely mimic the real NHL and thus add to the realism and complexity that this league has.
-
No NHL player would take a drop in pay to sign an extension and their extensions even though signed early dont typically take effect until the end of their current contract.
lets call this what it is a loop hole in the rules. I will agree with Mariner that I had understood it his way.

It has and always been as mariner had interpreted it. The season must have been 15 games in to use the 2012-13 numbers.

Yeah extensions don't take effect until the end of the contract, but this would probably harder to keep track of logistically.
Also extensions are depending on production, and if players don't preform then they don't get paid. Look at the Boyes 1m signing or the Wolski 800k signing.
I agree that this is a loophole, but it does seem to be a valid one. Even Pigs made some extensions recently.
-
Thanks for the clarification. :agent:
-
NOTE: i split this discussion off as it cluttered the FA bidding thread for Kunitz.
i've mentioned this in the past and i'll repeat... if anyone is not sure about a rule, please ask for clarification... publicly if possible so we address it openly. :toast:
-
the extension rule was clarified based on 2011 transactions that were accepted and processed.
The Rule States
Extensions: Teams may offer players extensions at any time with the exception of the start of the season when teams must wait 14-days (the player extension can be posted on the 15th day after the start of the season) for current season's stats to accumulate and be used to rank players.
...
Why wait 14-days? this is meant to indicate that once the official NHL + FNHL seasons start (apparently Oct.11'12 this yr), you'd have to wait until the 15th day of the NHL-FNHL season to offer an extension using 2012-13 stats.
this is to allow 14-days of accumulated stats ... somewhat relevant for fantasy sports purposes.
Off-Season Extensions... however, extensions can be signed in the off-season using the previous 2 season's stats.
Reality VS Fantasy
yes, in real life ... few players would accept a discounted extension contract ... but they do Wolski, Boyes to name 2 players... and sometimes in real life a contract does get replaced by a new extension deal before the original contract expires
in fantasy, to be consistent with the extension rule in FNHL, the new contract replaces the old one immediately + can be lower + it is a "loophole" or "cap management tool" or "strategic play" available to all teams
the extension rule was updated with the "14-days wait time" language as it was a verbal + 1-off thread that i exchanged with the previous commish's last off-season, and it warranted updating in the extension rule.
-
I think I can explain.
As of 8/4/12 we are in the 12/13 fantasy season, and as such all players with contracts that state (2012-2013) are now in the final year of their contract.
We are currently in a off-season FA which technically takes place...
Right now we can extend because ...
Because extensions begin immediately, ...
I really didn't want other GMs to catch onto this because I wanted to keep this info limited and thus more to my advantage. But there it is.
Here are the rules:
...
Only players in the final year of their current contract are eligible for extensions. All contract extensions begin immediately...
...and that's why i'm very happy as a league GM + commish that Franchise NHL has izaman3 (http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?action=profile;u=1527) as our :EC: "Contract Cop" ... it's helpful to have an additional set of eyes vetting rules, contracts and ensuring consistency of how rules are applied as they relate to written rules.
it's a good discussion to get everyone up to speed on tools available to them for cap mgmt + how they can be used. again, don't interpret the rules if you think they are not clear to you, ask the :EC: for clarification... in any league on any site. :toast:

Current wording:
Signing players who were released under contract (rule pending until beginning of season 2)
If a player, who was released under contract, is signed to a new contract; the former team of said player is relieved of the salary obligation, equal to the new contract.
Quote
Example: So, lets say team ABC releases Dan Doe under contract and owes him 2m for 2 seasons (after 66.66% discount and etc, for ease of discussion). Team XYZ signs Dan Doe to a 2 year contract @ 1m per. Team ABC now only owes Dan the contract termination value - the value of the Dan's new contract (2m - 1m = 1m). The length of the termination remains the same however; team ABC cant restructure to use the 2m of relief in one year for example. So in essence, Dan's buyout from team ABC is now 1m for 2 seasons instead of 2m for 2 seasons.
If team XYZ signs Dan to a 1 year $1m contract, then team ABC is only relieved of 1m for that year, until another contract is signed with Dan.

While we are on the subject is this correct?
Playoffs
The playoffs are based on NHL rulings in that first-round playoff matchups are based on the current NHL standings. The division winners in each conference are seeded Nos. 1-3, while the remaining five teams are seeded Nos. 4-8, according to point total. Teams are not reseeded after each round. Playoffs will last four rounds.
aug23-12: split this topic out of the daily vs wkly line-up rule update.
-
Snug you are either a philosophy major or a business person. LOL
What's the reason for bring up this rule revision?
If the intent is to avoid situations where the team buying out the player doesn't try to circumvent the cap by then trying to resign the player and get the discount for the recent buy out, why not just say the releasing team is not allowed to immediately resign the same player they bought out.
-
Ha ha, definitely not philosophy.
That was my exact intent, your revision works as well. For example with Lecalvier what stops me from waiving him at the 66% buy out , dropping his cap hit to 5.1 million and the rebidding on him up to the 5.1 mark, I would really have nothing to lose.
-
with any startup league (referring to FNHL back in 2010-11 when it started), you can't foresee some situations and other times, you don't want to "lawyer-a-fy" your rules to the point new GMs can't be bothered to even try reading them.
personally, you can resign Lecavalier if you're the successful bidder and get the discount off the original b/o.
in this case, i'm not inclined to write a new rule to plug the "hole" because it does unburden a team from a big + long contract they might've inherited from a GM who had a different strategy.
also, i don't see it happening very often so why put the energy to "correct" something that isn't broken nor being abused by the masses.
-
i'll ask the former commish to provide his input since i'm not exactly sure how it was done last yr as i just woke up one day and was told to go to a new fantrax FNHL playoff site.
hockeyfreak6000 would clarify what was done last yr.
it was potentially an area i would recommend a change to but i don't want to touch too many rules, especially those that are not detrimental to the success of the league, like playoff format + qualifying.
hockeyfreak6000, are you around?
-
I think it's a great strategic play if you have an overpaid guy....
Lecavalier was 7.7m per season, and now is only 5.1m on the books.
Even if you would end up with him at 7m per season, it would still be less, and it would still be less years on his contract (didn't he have like 7 years left on that 7.7m deal?)
I'm all but expecting you to open the bidding up on him at 15.3m...!
Even if you get bid up on, you'll still save all the cap space!
I think in the future it is a loophole that could be exploited, with all the huge and high contracts here.
What if most teams had very little cap space a month into the season...?
Someone with a 9-10m per year player could buy buy him out, paying 6-6.5m on the buyout, and try to win that player back at 6.5m per year, saving cap that way. If teams don't have the cap to make a 6.5m per year bid, then they can't!
Worst case scenario for that owner is he upps the bidding back to the original 9-10m per year salary which no one would match anyways, and all he loses is maybe a week of fanpoint production while all the bidding is going on - It would sure be a gamble I'd be willing to make if I held one of those overpriced guys!
My 2 examples used here glancing over that worst contract thread:
G - Ilya Bryzgalov, $13.7m (2015-2016)
G - Corey Crawford, $12.0m (2015-2016)
But out Bryz at 9.1m per year on a buyout or Crawford at 8m per.
Start Bryz's thread off with a 45.5m bid or Craw at 40m
Not sure how high bidding would go after that, but I don't know how many teams that will have 8m+ of cap space a month into the season.... And at that, very few if any would have 12m or more.
But if it came down to it, Craw bidding goes to 60m from the same owner who just bought him out and he just keeps him at the same price, and Bryz goes to whatever insane bid it would take to get him back from the same owner.
I don't know anyone else right now that would be paying 13m a year for Bryz, let alone 12m!
Like I said, if I owned a huge priced player that is the route I would take for sure. As mentioned, worst thing is that you lose a week of fanpoints and get the player back at the same price, or maybe 1m less or so per year.

requesting the MiLR list in one page as the minor players not listed in fantrax team page,,,
so we will not have a hard time locating minor players in each team page here in profsl,,,
and so we can know immediately if the player we want to sign in FA is not part of a teams minor roster.....
thanks!

:iatp:
-
this was the type of abuse on the rule that I was worried about happening.
-
3 yrs, No offense this is a serious question. Why go through the exercise of asking the contract for each player? The length is always dictated by the total bid. There is no such thing as a variable contract in FNHL.
for the most part, you're correct. however in some cases there can be a modification made to the contract where a player gets bumped up from a 2yr deal to 3yrs etc.
also, it's a double confirmation process, 1st contract confirmation by team, then 2nd confirmation by the processing team ( :EC: ). papertrail.
You could save your self extra time by just completing the transaction and posting the years of the contract.
as much as i'd love to do that, we need the double confirmation process given the way contracts are determined in FNHL + just the double checking thing.
in an ideal world... my admin would be processing this and i'd be on the golf course or downing a bombay tonic in the clubhouse. :toast:
aug31-12 comment: this post was split from the Roman Cervanka FA bidding thread and is a valid question & answer for all to be aware of.

gotcha, just thought it seemed redundant but I understand the logic. Just thought it would save everyone an extra post.

Has the extension prices been increased in the past at the same percentage of the increases in cap space?
-
Has the extension prices been increased in the past at the same percentage of the increases in cap space?
i've been in the league since July of 2011... and no, the extensions have remained the same since ive been here and from what i reviewed in old posts, was the original set of values per position.
they would merit updating every 3-5 yrs to reflect some adjustments in the overall NHL salary structure.
did you have any thoughts on this matter?

They should be updated as cap increases and as players, IRL, get higher and higher contract values.
-
Lets just use the rule from FGM? "You may not bid on a player that you have released for a period of 30 days. If you resign a player, their original contract is restored."
Perfect and simple to read
-
This helps with accuracy on Fantrax and there is no benefit to the team for having done this. A team should be able to use a player who hasn't played forty NHL games because we don't have waivers like the NHL. A simple way to accomplish this is just to put them on fantrax.
If a team has a player who isn't called up by the big league club (IRL) then they score no points for fantrax anyways.
If they are called up then a team is free to use them without cumbersome waivers.
If they are called up and a team doesn't use them we lose nothing.
Please consider

come on now pigs you should know by now I always have thoughts, ha ha.
I was just looking at the current system of things with the cap having increased year by year with no increase to the extensions its made the extensions outdated. Look at this years crop of free agents the highest quality free agents really came from GM's that were not at their post or non active GM's and had I realized the current system of things you wouldnt have seen many of my FA's out their either.
Short story , by not increasing extension costs with the cap, the decision to extend players is too easy. They are almost always cheaper to extend rather than attempt to sign them via FA. If the league ever gets 30 FT dedicated GMS your FA Freenzy will look more like a FA fizzle.
-
Seems to me both of these guys should be free agents but I can't find out one way or another....and they are currently on rosters in fantrax. I just don't know where the bids for them were. I searched both names and got nothing for extensions, or trades, or signings. please help if you know.
Ruslan Fedotenko, $0.2m (2011-2012) - Contract Expires 8/4/2012
Jarret Stoll, $3.6m (2011-2012) - Contract Expires 8/4/2012

Agreed. And I don't know, but is the real NHL cap at 70.3? Is there a reason it went that high? If we use the real cap figures we can keep extensions in line with real life extensions. Refer to FGM.

Many other leagues are putting the players on fantrax but not on their respective teams. Instead they are put on divisional minor league teams to keep them out of the available players list. I am still against having them on the teams as it is cap circumvention having a player without a contract playing on your team. A player like RNH could have played most of last season without a contract and be putting up points for his team, it is unrealistic.

I think you have to evaluate what's better for the league. Allowing a player to gain points for 40 games or allowing teams to rob teams. Also, RNH is a rare exception. Much more likely that a player is dealt with like Jordan Caron, brought up and sent back down various times.
Maybe we should shrink it to 20 games?
I just don't think the looting is a good practice and you won't convince me it is.

Fantrax question: Is it possible to have the minors locked, so they could be on your team but only the commish/mods could activate them if you signed them to a contract, therefoer they show up as being taken and no one will be able to use them without the commish changing it, something he would have to do anyway

Yeah, you create a team and assign them to that roster.

I've been in dynasty leagues where old owners trashed the team and left it in really bad shape. Every league needs ways for the new managers to come in and clean house if needed so they can rebuild the team using a different strategy. I say leave the rule as is.

...

that's a great example drew.
also, this has been address a few times in 2011-12 and i dont see the urgent need to reopen this. however, everyone is free to discuss and if it turns out that there's a huge and overwhelming desire to place players on the scoring site and we can work out the issues with doing so, then we can go down the road of setting up an actual vote for that change.

great suggestion. i just checked into that and unfortunately there's no setting in the commish setup tools for rosters to restrict permissions on specific positions (such as restrict movement for players designated as "Minor League".

With lots of GM's having concern on prospects .
i think the best way would be that every player drafted should get a 2-way contract right away .
ex : Nail Yakupov, $3.0m (EL 2014-15) 2-way
and if the player do not play 1 game in the NHL during his contract the GM can renew it for another 3 years or release him .
this way if a GM is daily active he will be rewarded by being able to use him ( 24 hrs notice ) and if not daily active he will lose some points ... plus if one GM quits without noticing then the next GM that will get the team will still have those player.

good catch for Fedotenko, joeshmoe. he was mistakenly uploaded to fantrax roster on fantrax.
stoll should've shown up on a search as a recently signed FA Center.
i'll post a note in the transactions pg to advise all of the Fedotenko correction.

current extension values are not an absolute must to overhaul or update in this league.
in light possible cap rollback and salary decreases as part of the current CBA negotiations in the NHL, rushing to suddenly raise them only means someone will have to rush to decrease them shortly thereafter.

This could help with the problem but it creates an administrative nightmare:
- Admin would have to do updates constantly. With cap numbers changing like this, it would be quite the work to enforce penalties.
- Prospects can be called up and sent back all within 24 hours IRL, and if a team brought someone up then didn't get to use them, then sent them back...it's quite inefficient.
-It does protect teams from being 'fished out' by the constantly aware profsl-pros. I.e. teams would know exactly when the contract was up, at the end of the year. This wouldn't allow other teams to 'fish'
-this is better than the current system
-
since pigs already paid for a premium league on fantrax we could add all teams minor league players with what their salaries would be if they were called up and with a set cap along with automatic rules that would prevent teams from bumping guys to the minors that wouldnt need to be there.
That way you could let guys actively use their minors as they see fit instead of always posting to the board.
Guys would still need to post the permanent call up to prosfl to keep things cleaned up.
If you decide to go with that i would be willing to help with the setup. I have a league that we are currently setup that way.

Dumb it down for me, haha :thumbsup:. Fantrax monitors salary?
-
yup, you can setup minor league and major league with the same cap as what we have on prosfl. then assign each player the same salary as prosfl. you set the minor leaguers to not count against the cap but the pro roster does. then you set the minor league limits to max 40 nhl games.
so it would automatically not allow people to play their minor league players if they went over cap.

Interesting, and so these players would have two way contracts that expire after two years? I like it! :thumbsup:
-
yeah it would basically expire them as soon as they hit their 40 games , you can have it set to either make the teams roster invalid as soon as they hit the 40 or that they can stay on the minors but the next time they are moved to the MLR they couldnt be moved back down.

I thought the two year contract was so that people knew exactly when the contracts expired. This way that teams weren't losing prospects unreasonably.

:bump: for Chris/joeshmoe + Peter/hf6k... guys can u clarify, pl? thx

While we are on the subject is this correct?
Playoffs
The playoffs are based on NHL rulings in that first-round playoff matchups are based on the current NHL standings. The division winners in each conference are seeded Nos. 1-3, while the remaining five teams are seeded Nos. 4-8, according to point total. Teams are not reseeded after each round. Playoffs will last four rounds.
aug23-12: split this topic out of the daily vs wkly line-up rule update.
Im not sure what the question actually is.
-
Are our playoffs based on NHL standing or league standings?
-
Are our playoffs based on NHL standing or league standings?
Ours
-
standings are based on our league stats. Teams were seeded according to.. divison winners at 1-3 and the remaning 5 teams were placed by most points. Our league followed the same format as the nhl playoffs. 4 rounds ending with east meeting west. I had to split the league into two seperate leagues on fantrax due to fees. If you search the forum I'm sure you could find the final standings for all 30 teams last season.
welcome to the league.
Thanks

wow this coulld be intresting
-
Here are some screen shots of my league setup as an example.
-
Are Ben Bishop and Branden Holtby (WSH) available for FA? Can I make Bids on them. They say they are in free agent list.
no they are not available ... see list http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=71612.0
who says ?
-
copy of our league rules and settings as well, in case it helps. Its a very different setup than most leagues on Prosfl.
League Rules --
Rosters
Active roster minimum is 25 players, maximum is 30 players. ( 4 centers, 8 wingers, 6 defense, 1 goalie, 11 bench)
Minor league minimum is 0 and maximum 10.
Releasing Players
Releasing a player with a salary over 750k a year will incur a 75% cap hit.
Players dropped will enter into a 2 week waiver period. If a team claims the player they inherit the contract and the releasing team is not penalized.
After the 2 week period the player is considered an unrestricted free agent and can be signed by any team. If a team put ins a claim on a player other teams have 48hours to put in a claim. If multiple teams issue a claim for a player, priority will be given to the team lowest in the league standings.
Cap hits can be spread out over the term of the players contract or paid as a one time lump sum.
The lump sum choice is a one time option when dropping the player.
Contract Limits/Extensions
All contracts must be no longer than 3 years. Contracts can be extended for a max of 2 years with an increase of 1 million to the original salary per year extended.
(ex. X player is making 3 million a year and you wish to extend for 2 years their contract increases to 5million per year.) Contract extensions can only be made for players in their second year.
This will make a total contract 5 years ( 3 yr original contract + 2 yr extension)
When a player retires so does your obligation to honor their contract for the 2012/13 season,
Starting 2013/14 teams will still be responsible for players who retire cap hit. They can still be bought out under the normal buy out rules.
teams will be able to choose up to 3 players that are on the final year of their contract to apply a franchise tag and will be able to extend them for up to 2 years. (1 million added to salary per year extended). The franchise tag can be used on the same player more than once.
Prospect Contracts
All prospect contracts start at 750k. Their contracts do not count against the cap while in the Minors.
Any prospects still Minors eligible can have their contract extended indefinitely untill they are no longer Minors eligible. Minors eligibility is based on age (max 25) or games played at NHL level (80 career total), whichever comes first.
The year that they are no longer eligible for the minor league will be the first year of their contract.
Example: Patrice Cormier plays 80games this year , his contract will be 750k - 1st year. Next year his contract would move to 2nd year.
If he fails to play 80 games, his contract next year would stay at 1st year.
Max # of Minor league contracts is 10.
Free Agency
All players coming off of contract will move to UFA. To pick up a free agent you must create a post under the players name with a total contract bid. Contracts can be no longer than 3 years. Minimum bid is 750k and bids will be in multiples of 100k.
Bids must be in this format. (length * yearly salary = total contract)(ex. 2yrs * 3 million = 6 million total contract.)
A player is won by the highest total contract value followed. Tie break goes to the team bidding the longer number of years due to the commitment.
The highest contract value wins the bid.
Contracts will have a diminishing value for each year. (This is only for the purpose of determining a winning bid)
1 yr - 100 % value
2nd yr - 50%
3rd yr - 50%
this means 10 million @ 3 yrs will equal a 20 million value (10 + 5+5)
if you bid 10million @ 2 yrs it would have a 15 million value (10+5)
so in this example to win this bid with a 1 yr offer you would need to bid 20.1 million @ 1 yr. (the tie in value goes to the longer contract)
To give a more realistic example.
If you bid Dan Boyle - 3 yrs @ 5 million (5+2.5+2.5) = 10 mill contract value.
next bid could be 2 yrs @ 7 mill (7+3.5) = 10.5 mill contract value.
next bid could be 3 yrs @ 6 mill (6+3+3) = 12 mill contract value.
There is no limit to the number of players that can be auctioned at one time or the number of bids for a player. A bid on a player is considered final when 48 hours has passed since the last bid.
No Variable Contracts: Each year of a contract must have the same salary amount. All contracts must be signed to at least $750k and must be in multiples of $100,000.
At no time can a team be over the cap unless they can make immediate changes in their roster(drop a player) You can not sign a player that will put you over the cap or over your roster limit expecting to make a trade. Anyone guilty of that will receive a warning and next offense will be fined their next years 3rd pick, if you don't have your 3rd pick your 2nd, no picks will result in a CAP decrease.
****** Players that have been drafted by an NHL team can be signed via free agency only after the yearly rookie draft. They will observe the same rules as normal free agency with one exception. They can not be assigned to the minors if they have been signed for 1million or more per year. They would need to be placed directly onto your active roster. *********
Yearly Rookie Draft
Trading of draft picks IS allowed.
We will have a 3 round prospect draft each year for the drafting of Minor leaguers. Draft order will be determined by reverse order of standings in the regular season. Only players currently drafted by an NHL team is allowed and must meet minor league eligibility.
Injured Players
Each team has 2 IR spots for injured players. While on IR Injured players do not count against your cap or roster limit.
IR spots can be used for short and long term injuries along with suspended players. You can leave a player on IR for an entire season even after they return playing but will be added back to your roster in the offseason.
****** please note should you bump a minor league player up to fill the spot once they complete their 80 nhl games you will not be able to move them back to the minors*****
Cap
Our cap is currently set at 85 million.
Trades
Picks can only be traded up to a max of 2 years in the future.
Roster Moves/trades/transactions:
- signings, trades and transactions can be made anytime during our regular season.
- After playoffs start transactions are locked including signings, trades.
- Transactions will stay locked until 1 week before our rookie draft to give everyone a hockey break.

When will the 2012-13 deadlines be updated?
My Sharks are planning ahead.
Thanks
-
I suggest we increase the number of MiLR spots from the current 13 to 20.
In dynasty leagues we should be able to house most of our four annual draft picks. As it stands now we constantly have to purge MiLR players after each draft.
20 MiLR roster spots or even 25 like Snugerud's league would work nicely.
-
sorry my league has 10 minor league spots , its a 30 MLR and 10 MiLR roster setting.
Big difference though we can sign and place players on on MiLR that qualify for it.
its kind a reward to the GMs that are actively keeping an eye on up and coming players.
We almost went with a setup that you had to draft all minor league eligible players and that they couldnt be signed via free agency until they had either played their 80 nhl games or were older than 25. Our drafts is open to all MiLR eligible players not just the ones in the current years draft. (hindsight this may have been the better way to go. puts a greater emphasis on the draft picks and you couldnt just go sign player willy nilly)
-
That was one of the features i liked about rebel nhl... but since taking over FNHL, i really didn't want to over tinker with rules that weren't in urgent need of change or that didn't hamper the competitiveness of the league.
EXPANDING MiLR IS A GOOD THING
i do however like the idea of expanding MiLR's because of the way FNHL handles minor leaguers - they're only eligible if drafted.
CURRENT 13 MiLR LIMIT DEVALUES DRAFT PICKS
the current setup of limiting only to 13 in a 30 team league that
allows for 4 annual picks actually devalues draft picks
since teams are forced to dump prospects fairly quickly
within 1-2 yrs after drafting and let's face it...
defensemen and goalies take forever to develop.
TO BE VOTED ON MID-SEASON
i would personally favour expanding MiLR's to allow for more spots.
but that's something to vote on mid-season as there's plenty to address now to get the season off the ground. :)
-
When will the 2012-13 deadlines be updated?
My Sharks are planning ahead.
Thanks
i'd say rough timelines to update the FNHL 2012-13 deadlines is targeting end of next week currently.
been tied up in a variety of league drafts as most if not all leagues wanted to draft as close to the start of the season as possible given the "sudden" resolution to the lockout.

I think my two concerns about prospects are
a) it is a nightmare to look at free agents and find players to tinker my team with. multiple actions for one player, it's crazy.
b) I don't like how teams auto lose prospects who have reached 40 games. It should be that they auto sign to the major league squad. It creates massive holes in teams that lose a guy because of a bad gm. It destroys the team for a period even longer. I'd prefer to see all teams competitive. It also impacts recruiting.

What you are basically asking for is a low maintenance public free league.
I have been part of those in the past (regretfully) and people drop out early and often.
That's what has happened in this league in the past as well, no?
If you aren't managing your own team and expect everything to be automated what's the point of being part of this specific league? You can find automated leagues that don't use minor league rosters and just save yourself the trouble altogether.
Teams are accountable here. That is something I like about FNHL.
-
It states we need to wait 14 days at the start of the season to use this year's stats for extensions.
Given the Lock-out and the shortened season are we prorating that or is it still 14 days and then we cam post extensions with 2012-13 stats starting on day 15?
I just want to make sure.

What I do care to see is that when owners do become truly MIA that those teams aren't destroyed for years to come. It isn't about those who are active but those who aren't. And seeing how this door has x number of teams controlled by management it is an issue as clearly the proof is there to see.
What happened in the past is exactly as I refer to it. Teams were destroyed by bad managers. I care for parity and this has been lost in the process. You can't mitigate people leaving the league by creating a league with a lot of work involved.
Furthermore, you cannot disagree that finding a free agent is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. It is impossible to do without setting aside serious time to look through league files and figure out where a guy actually is.
-
I agree with joeshome here. I don't want a team to lose (like it almost happened last season) a player like Nugent-Hopkins because a GM went inactive. I think there has to be an appropriate process for when a player reaches 40 games.
The first thing that needs to be done is check the GMs activity (have logged into ProFSL in last two weeks). If inactive, PM that GM and release them if no response.
If they have logged in, have a warning system. Happens and isn't fixed, warning. Then per 2 day periods after that release of draft picks (for that GM). After failing to make any move after this 1 week period (either release or sign prospect), that GM is released.
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.

Boston is the original commissioner from what I can see.
Joe is claiming a team is destroyed for years to come if they are inactive.
From what I've read that problem has been addressed with the league commissioners assuming control of the team until new owners can be found.
So what's the problem? I don't understand what concern you are raising Boston?
Once again, correct me if I am mistaken but if a GM is active they can manage their own MiLR otherwise if they are suddenly inactive for a significant amount of time the team gets run by the commissioners until new ownership is in place like the Phoenix Coyotes of the NHL. Pretty simple!

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.

It is mostly those teams that have owners that have now gone MIA or are inactive for a variety of possible reason. This has happened quite frequently. It is not those teams run by the admin that worry me here. It will be those teams who have had stand up ownership that has gotten too busy. Those teams which will then later be replaced, are, in the mean time, pillaged. This is the bad business for the league. We should have a system to protect the parity of the league.
Also, one of my most ardent points is that minor league players should be added to rosters on fantrax. Can we do this ASAP, as it will make free agency more clear and profitable for teams. I, for example, cannot look through three posts to find out if a guy is valid to even be bid on. I simply haven't the time for tedious labor. This limits my teams ability to transact.
-
Why does the link for my leagues not show up when I am logged in?
I am in the franchise NFL and I think it is called anygivensunday for the other that I am or was in? Not sure to be truthful.
Can any one fix it so that the links make it show up in the navigation bar when I login with my username kjames1973 I am the Red Wings in one league and the Raiders in another. Any help would be appreciate it. Shouldn't I be able to have shortcut links?
yeah, you can just bookmark the league page, that is what I do.

we've covered this already.
stay active or advise the commissioners you're going away for an extended period and the situation you refer to won't occur... at least not while hockeyfreak47 and i are around.
PS chris, the alternative would've been the League taking over your team and banning you since it wasn't the first time you stayed off profsl for an extended period of time and didn't respond to PM's - standard Profsl activity rules.

Life can happen to anybody. I don't care about my team or any past issue. I just want the other teams in the league to be protected from poor ownership to a degree. Certainly it is a certain time period before a team is forfeited to the commissioner and that period of transition could be horrible for the future of the organization quickly. Nobody has covered this yet.

from what i'm reading of your comments or concerns... you're not only referring to MiLR or are you.
regardless, as the original commissioner chris - can you advise how you handled these situations so i understand which approaches you've used successfully or not.
-
Sorry but why no re-seeding?
Also if you are going with no re-seeding than the winner of 1-8 should be playing winner of 4-5 not 2-7 because most likely the winner will be the 2nd place team.

Playoffs
The playoffs are based on NHL rulings in that first-round playoff matchups are based on the current NHL standings. The division winners in each conference are seeded Nos. 1-3, while the remaining five teams are seeded Nos. 4-8, according to point total. Teams are not reseeded after each round. Playoffs will last four rounds.
...
this is yr 3 of FNHL... from the original rules, it states "Teams are not reseeded..."
based on that rule, we use match-up brackets, etc.
-

Ya but if you rearrange the brackets it makes a lot more sense than the second round matchups being (logically) 1 vs 2 and 3 vs 4

For his position, what site do we use? He's more of a wing but Fantrax has him listed as a center.
-
per my PM CC'ing co-commish hockeyfreak47...
we use fantrax player positions to denote a player's eligibility. it's not always accurate but it's consistent.
it also avoid a commissioner having to manually edit player position eligibility every single time fantrax (or their data source) changes a player's eligibility.

Why do all the board vets complain about every damn rule. Are these rules new??? LOL
I don't understand all the whining. Peace!

does this wording mean I can choose to do a lump sum by out of a players contract?
If I can, is it a one time deal or can it be done at any point in the season as long as i have the cash on hand?
-------------------------------------------------
Releasing Players Under Contract
A buyout will occur for 66.66% of the contract value to be paid in equal installments. This may be spread out over the years remaining in the bought-out contract.
Quote
For Example: Lets say Pittsburgh decided to waive Sidney Crosby, $8.7m (2012). The total contract value for Crosby would be $8.7m for three years ($26.1m). 66% of the contract value (rounded to the nearest $100k) is owed to the player, which in this case is $17.2m ($26.1m x .66 = 17.226). This may be spread out over one, two or three years (because Sidney is signed for three years).

...
u can lump the buyout into 1yr or spread it over the remain yrs of the contract equally so long as your team has the cap space.
it's a good tool for when you have tons of cap yr end before contracts roll over and you can offer it to teams looking to move a huge buyout candidate. :thumbsup:
buyouts can happen anytime... with the exception of the new amnesty buyout which is as u know only during the 2wk period after the FNHL finals.
-
if i do a lump sum and then someone later signs that player , do i still get my discount?
-
I'm sure I got a discount for all my lump sum buyouts last year. It's just that you don't benefit from the discount fully beyond the one year you've lumped the buyout into.
-
sorry i should rephrase , do i get the discount if someone bids and signs the player.

per my PM to :EDM: tho there's not official rule stating a non-commish owner cannot own a 2nd team it's not something we are doing currently in Franchise NHL.
however, after the completion of the FNHL finals (per existing FNHL rules) owners can apply to transfer to take over ownership of a different team leaving their current team behind. See quote from rules section below...

A current GM may take on a position elsewhere only if they have served for one full season with their current franchise.

the buy out team receives a 1-time discount from the 1st time the player is signed as a FA.
if that same player becomes a FA a 2nd time, the most recent team to release the player receives the next FA discount.
does that ans the original Q
-
merging this into existing thread RE buy out + resigning same player as it's all buy out related.
-
Seems really soon. Can we push the deadline back. Say late March. The 30th?
-
:iatp:
March 9th does seem too soon IMO.
-
so far you are the only 2 teams.
if more teams want to push it back however, the March 9th deadline is set because it gives teams the remaining 2 regular season wks to settle their new players into their roster.
i prefer to leave the deadline as is since it's not detrimental to league play + we're mid-season.

can't say i know what the problem is though sometimes i notice fantrax is slow to load the team pg.
i did see other teams updating their rosters since you've posted so try again, try a different browser. if that fails, try logging out then log back in. if all else fails, notify fantrax support.

still doesnt work. I have another team on fantrax and have no problem with it.

Have we determined a date for this yr's entry draft? I can't find the date on the deadlines page.
since i'll be away for portions of the summer, i'm looking at just after the September Labour Day (Canadian Holiday) weekend.
Tentative start of Franchise NHL Entry Draft will be Wednesday September 4, 2013 @ 0h01 ET.
this will ensure ppl are turning into hockey with training camps under way and doesn't overlap with FNHL's Free Agency period which starts July 11, 2013 and usually lasts 1-month. in fact we might just push back the start of free agency given my summer schedule. TBC by the end of the playoffs here in Franchise NHL.

Here are the rules:
Extensions: Teams may offer players extensions at any time with the exception of the start of the season when teams must wait 14-days (the player extension can be posted on the 15th day after the start of the season) for current season's stats to accumulate and be used to rank players. Contract value must be equal to or higher than the highest ‘position ranking’ within the past two seasons (including the current season). If a player has two positions, the contract must be equal to, or greater than, the higher salary of the two positions. Extensions must still follow contract rules regarding contract length.
Only players in the final year of their current contract are eligible for extensions. All contract extensions begin immediately (with the exception of the off-season period when the current year's contract must expire prior to the new contract taking effect) and replace current contracts.
Prospects can be signed to extensions in the final year of their deal. But the rates will follow normal extension rates.
So if my Sens sign Staal to an extension after the Finals his extension only begins in 2013-14 right? I want to make sure before posting anything.
- Ottawa

in FNHL, as soon as the last game of the Finals is over (start of the Off-season) you can sign players to an extension and the new deal kicks in only when contracts roll-over... this yr it will be on August 11 @ 0h01 ET.
this is outlined in the rules on the Extensions page LINK (http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=12525.0).

Do we have waivers at all?
There are no waivers in FNHL...
I'm good with that as it's one less moving part to track and process. :thumbsup:
-
I read somewhere we can go 10% over the cap in the off season.
Any chance it can be higher after contract roll over since the cap is coming down in 2013-14?
Hawks might have to b/o a few more players after a trade here and there.
-
yep. there's 10% overage allowance in the off-season in FNHL.
however, teams cannot use the 10% overage on buy outs.
so if a buy out puts you over the limit, the buy out request will be declined.
however, if a FA signing, prospect call up, trade puts your team into the 10% overage range, we'll allow it.
-
When I re-sign these 3 guys, do I use normal extension values just like regular players?

cloud91 is correct.
use standard extension values for your players coming off Entry Level contract.
i'm gussing the previous owner rolled the dice there'd be no NHL season and signed the 3 rookies to 1yr deals with the goal of re-signing them to extensions at the league minimum.
that or the expectation was they wouldn't produce much as rookies in a limited season.
use the extension values on this pg (http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=12525.0):

the original request is in their buy out post (LINK) (http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=96610.0) dated may 28th.

Hello,
Most probably this has already been answered on several occasions, but couldn't find an answer on a sneak peek.
If a player leaves to KHL (Kovy, Burmistrov etc), how will this be treated? Can the retirement B/O be used in these cases?
NEW 2012-13 Retired Players: NHL players who have announced their retirement can be bought out at 40.0% (x 0.40) of their contract value, standard b/o policy above apply.
EDIT: Discard this, just noticed that it was stated in the next paragraph :win:
-
I would think where Kovalchuk officially retired from the NHL he could be bought out at the .40.
Burmistov didnt retire , he just signed a new contract in the KHL.
-
Indeed, not retired but:
NEW 2012-13 Player Signs with Non-NHL affiliated Team:: NHL eligible players who have signed a contract to play in a non-NHL affiliated league (ie. KHL, SEL, etc) excluding AHL and ECHL, can be bought out at 40.0% (x 0.40) of their contract value, standard b/o policy above apply.
-
How do I insert it in transaction post please? Can't figure it out.
-
Below the subject-field is the "message icon". Pick NHL in the first box and TOR-NHL in the second. That should do it.
-
Thank You. :toast:

Read some conversation about the extensions. If I now extend a contract that expires after the up and coming season 13-14 using previous two years' stats. Shouldn't the extension take place after the season and not straight away?
How will this be shown in the roster page?
Edit: or is it really so that this is a loophole that can be used? Extension replaces the current contract's last year?
-
Why are 13/14 contracts being extended now? Did the rules change while I was away?
-
Read some conversation about the extensions. If I now extend a contract that expires after the up and coming season 13-14 using previous two years' stats. Shouldn't the extension take place after the season and not straight away?
How will this be shown in the roster page?
Edit: or is it really so that this is a loophole that can be used? Extension replaces the current contract's last year?
Why are 13/14 contracts being extended now? Did the rules change while I was away?
once contracts roll-over extensions are available for the players in the final yr of their deal.
and yes, you can extend using the previous 2 year's stats.
however, once the NHL regular season starts teams much wait until the 15th day of the season to submit extensions using current & previous year's stats.
i suppose it is a "loophole" or "cap management tool" in a deep 30-team league and given the cap ceiling is much lower at 64.3 this year, it will be to the everyone's advantage to verify if they can shave a few dollars off their current roster's salaries.

Just fielded a question from the field. Do teams use the salary cap IRL of their team or do teams in Franchise NHL use a flat cap across the league?
So if the real-life Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators have an in-house imposed ceiling that's 20% lower than the league cap figure, does the Franchise NHL team also have to live with that restriction?
NO!
In Franchise NHL all teams must respect the same salary cap ceiling and floor. Those cap limits are set and mirror the NHL's cap numbers annually.

Can we post postdated trades.
Say I make a trade now during the no trade period can the trade stay on the board or are ou guys going to slap an INVALID tag on it and file it away?
Yeah Im bubbling with questions today.

Can't find anywhere that it states a limit on the number of MLR goalies we can carry. Just that we are limited to playing one per night on Fantrax. Is there a limit?

Here in Franchise NHL we don't cap # of goalies on active rosters because we don't use waivers and we allow 30 MLR spots. Mind you goalies are expensive nowadays. You'll need to be a rich guy like e40 :o to carry a half dozen LOL

I resent that post. :rofl:
I don't recall but I didn't have a starting goalie but could be wrong prior to the beginning of last season. Therefore I only paid that much for Ramo since prior to last season he had so much hype and was hoping he lived up to that hype/potential. If Andersen can take over #1 and play up to his potential over a full season or even if it is a combo of him and Gibson if called up and how he does or them together, I will definitely consider dropping or trading Ramo depending on his situation during the season with Montoya as my backup.

I don't see this mentioned in the rules, so I figured I would ask. With the extra ir spot you gain from placing a player on ir, does the players salary count against your salary cap? I don't understand the point of ir if you cannot sign players to one year deals.

Player salary still counts but you clear a roster spot.

when someone wins a player you drop, the amount per year they are paying the player is deducted from your buy-out.
ex. you drop Crosby and pay 5.5M(2017-18) buyout cost. someone wins Crosby in FA for 7M(2017-18) , then you would not have any cap hit, as 7 > 5.5
So if you overpay for someone in fa, you can drop them and potentially get all the cap back.

Not sure if this has already been addressed. I was looking at my past 3 weeks and noticed I have illegal rosters ( a lot of teams did especailly week #2) and my wins in week 1 and 3 were changed. Hoping this is just an error as error. I am on daily so know its not a line up setting issue.
-
I had a lot of my points taken away from me this week cause there is a glitch somewhere, and I know I had 30 something points earlier in the week. Another glitch I found was when I tried to set McMillan as a lw but it keeps saying that my roster is illegal.
-
It apparently happened when they were trying to finalize draft. We are a paid league, so hopefully fantrax takes care of us. My caps were about to be 3-0 easily, and now show 11 points on the year.
-
OK, thanks.
Hoping it gets corrected.

Has to be a bug in Fantrax of some kind. My roster was set for week, no errors and somehow, someway my roster became illegal, all points for week taken away.

Izaman should send PR a note and get that illegal roster adjusted if needed. The Fantrax problem threw a lot of us off. I could not set line-ups on Saturday after the draft function was finalized. I sent PR an email and said as much.

Saturday when I attempted to finalize the annoying 2014 fantrax Draft function it FUBAR'd a number of rosters especially those featuring players that got updated by Fantrax for dual, multi-position eligibility.
It took 2 days to allow Fantrax to attempt to revert back to Friday's roster status - which they said they could but that failed to produce the required result. Then we took Monday-Tuesday to resolve.
Last 2 yr Fantrax didn't cause a pile-up whenever we finalized the draft status mid-season.

Does a player have to be activated from IR once their status in the NHL has been upgraded OR can they stay there for the season after being placed on IR.
-
I dont see anything in the rules stating that a player has to be activated from IR once their NHL status changes , but Fantrax is forcing me to activate them or my roster will be illegal.
I am moving Patrick Wiercioch off IR for now just so that my roster wont be illegal tonight, but that will make my pro roster hit 31. I will wait for an official answer on this.

Well roster limits are at 30 so if a team has 30 roster players plus another in LTIR who's no longer injured then you can't stash the extra player which if why it makes rosters illegal.
Not covered in rules on profsl but standard for most leagues.
-
ok, I thought considering you have to still cover the players cost while on IR and it only opens up a roster spot that it would allow you to choose when you want to re-activate them. Kinda makes the IR spot pointless unless the player is out for the season or you have enough injuries to keep cycling them in and out of that spot.

if a team had roster space and they decided to park a guy in the LTIR hole it would be ok. but in a deep 30 team league where scrubs count I can let someone stash a player especially if they are at the 30 man roster limit already.

Sorry didnt follow this. Are you saying if I only had 28 players on my roster I could park a guy in LTIR and leave him?
My thought with the IR was it was to create a roster spot that can be used but with the rules of the league its not really useable if we are forced to activate as soon as they are taken off IR.
I say this because we cant send our minor league players up and down freely.
There is no free drops where you don't take a cap hit, so there is no way to plug that open roster spot without taking on an extra player and their contract.

haha no, because I don't have 30. I still think a 5 game grace period or something, guy was forced up days before the team even played another game. I guess its not a huge deal, but if I dont check everyday, and set my team ahead of time, I would of been screwed and never known. Oh well, at least it is easy on the guys running league, clearly the reason why it is that way lol.

I think the rule is there to keep gents on their toes. Flames and Wings got burnt for a day when they left a guy in the LTIR hole too long.

PR can clarify but if someone posted a $4m smart ass bid we'd decide to bump it to 3yrs at $2m per or 3yrs at $1.5m depending on how we felt that day.
4m willing bid could be judged to be a contract of
4m divided by 2 = $2m but any value over 1.5m per yr is automatically 3yrs in length.
Take that same 4m winning bid and divide it by 3yrs = is invalid at 1.333333m so it gets bumped to 3yr at 1.5m
If we feel the bidder was being a smartass and handing us extra work, we'd go with the higher contract value of 3yr at $2m or the same as a $6m winning bid :judge:

So an entirely subjective ruling depending on how you feel about it. How incredibly Bush League. It would be far better to standardize and avoid messy disputes over interpretation.
If an invalid bid is made (whatever the reason) it should be ruled invalid and no one will take issue. But rules made up as we go on a case by case basis are a recipe for conflict that could otherwise be avoided with a clear and simple statement.
A $4m bid is invalid.

not all that subective... if a nub posts a 4m bid, i would pass it off as learning curve. if an experienced profsler posted that same 4m contract, bought out the same player x3, theyd get the 6m total contract value applied.
we can all figure out who is playing a good game or abusing the system and giving us extra work.

For me, an experienced member of this site, the rule and the expectations were unclear. That is what caused me to ask the question in the first place. Because as far as I can tell abusing the buy-out system is encouraged. Let's not forget the debate around the loophole.

slack... the discussion started with you telling us a 4m bid is invalid in this league.
then you start on bout how its not clear so we should rewrite the rules... logic is built into the rules on contracts. on the off chance someone wants to submit a bid that doesnt fall into a value we can split cleanly, you have our feedback.

Hey guys, a question about non-variable term lengths for FA contracts: Would a winning FA bid of $4m be a sort of work-around and amount to a 2 year deal at $2m per?
It was an honest question. As it stands the only thing that is clear is that a $4m bid will be changed into either a $4.5m or a $6m bid, depending on which way the wind is blowing. If that is the extent of your feedback I am unimpressed.

He didn't "try and pull out of it". That is not what happened. Let's not blame a guy for making a bad trade AND not honoring it! Keep it in perspective; the league was critical of the deal so he (AZ) said he was willing to let it go as it appeared to be dead.
Even if that was the case (which it clearly is not) you cannot legitimately blame the entire league for the actions of a new GM. WTF?

That deal was VETOED for obvious reasons!
Yes it was! Part of the problem is the misunderstanding brought about by this reasoning from Pigs.
(3) Arizona has asked to opt out of the deal...
Since when is someone asking out of a deal a good reason to kill it? Anyways, Blackhawk only said he would go with the flow so he'd stop getting trashed. In the first trade thread he made a pretty strong argument supporting the trade and said that he had a plan. No one ever acknowledged this so he caved under pressure the next time around.
The deal was vetoed because it was bad for Arizona. Not because it was unfair. Not because Blackhawk wanted out. Not because he didn't have the right to make his own choices. It was vetoed because it was deemed detrimental to a suffering franchise with a new GM.
Moving on.

Has there ever been a discussion of playing multiple opponents per week?
Is this a topic that can be or has been raised, or possibly voted on?

Thank you :toast:

22 regular season weeks
Playing a 3 opponent per week format (scheduling can be adjusted to this format) would give us a 66 week simulation where each team can get the chance to play each team at least once. Division foes can have a true barometer of division heavy schedules. The entire league would in my opinion have a truer barometer.
I cant speak for everyone, just speaking for myself the one game per week (or 22 game season) seems to drag & lack competitive balance (true season long simulation) & decreasing interest (again just my opinion).
Thanks again. :toast:

I built the schedule in fantrax for Scouting Department (Corey made the schedule but it was implemented in fantrax by me) I would be happy to do the same for FNHL (if needed)
Yes, fantrax allows you to set multiple opponents in the same week...this allows a more realistic simulation imo. The rewards are clear, it gives a truer sense of the strongest teams & playoff teams/matchups are more deserved.
Division weighted scheduling also builds up rivalries & drives up interest. As a new GM having only 1 year vested in FNHL I did not wish to step on tradition, however I felt we could make a great league even better by increasing matchups to provide a more realistic total simulation.
The current schedule only needs to be edited to accomplish this task. If the matter can be voted on or approved, it is not overly complicated to achieve. We could have an 82 game schedule (by having 4 opponents for 16 weeks = 64 games & 3 opponents the final 6 weeks)
This is the best hockey league Ive ever been a part of, so if it stayed the same it wouldn't kill me, I would LOVE an 82 game simulation with all you fine gents. :toast:
-
I does sound interesting. I will dig on Fantrax and see what it means.
To create a schedule weighted toward Conference and Division matchups would that have to be done manually or push a button on Fantrax?
-
An 82 game schedule in FNHL could make for some really interesting team records. If your team sucked you could end up with a 4-78 record and get beat down several times a wk instead of just once.
It seems like it would amplify results. That's good and bad.
Put another way a team could end up in a deep hole after only 3 weeks.

It's a great idea. The Blues didn't play a few top teams last year and that really shouldn't happen. I'm in favour 100%, a few leagues I'm in right now do this and it actually makes it more interesting playing multi teams per week.

I does sound interesting. I will dig on Fantrax and see what it means.
To create a schedule weighted toward Conference and Division matchups would that have to be done manually or push a button on Fantrax?
Yes BB it would have to be entered manually. Each matchup painstakingly 1 at a time. However once inputted once this can be auto set to carry over each season. My suggestion...we use last years exact schedule for each club. Once inputted, it is there forever.
Someone(s) then got to input the schedule. (Assigning at least one person to post the schedule onsite in a thread individually starting at week one, and a fantrax designated inputter(s) building the schedule. I did this for a baseball league simulating 100+ games.
We can do this if the league wants it.
-
When would we do this if owners agreed to it?
I think its got legs Daddy! Good idea to make sure each team plays all 29 other teams and still have a sched weighted toward Div matchups.
-
I would be fine going with this new sched format this Fall. Its not a rule change but a better way of determining the top teams who should challenge for the Cup next Spring.

Have you given thought to a mechanism for forgiving violations? It would be nice if they could be eventually forgiven, say at a rate of one per year for good behavior.
(Sooo not saying I would qualify :rofl:)

Seems relatively straight fwd though the 1st yr bulk up the FNHL Fantrax schedule with multiple matchups per team per wk we can expect a few speedbumps along the way.
I will play with the schedule through June and post my findings.

Should go off speedbump free PR. We could have an 82 game schedule (by having 4 opponents for the first 16 weeks (64 games) & 3 opponents for the final 6 weeks (18 games) of the current fantrax schedule design.
I already have a scheduling model but defer to you & the mods. What takes time is entering the matchups in fantrax. Its tedious business for sure but once entered it can then be auto copied for each season thereafter.
Thanks for taking the suggestion under consideration. :toast:

Probably restrict # of protected players per team.
Sell new franchises to brand new owners.
Hold a pre FA draft for the new team or teams to build their rosters.

Since you are already paying for the premium features of fantrax, you guys should really consider setting up the picks on Fantrax. For a little bit of setup work now it could make the admins lives a lot easier come draft time and easier for your GM's.
Once you have it setup, you can automate it that the it automatically does the 48hour clock. you can even have it pause between certain times at night. It will also automatically email the next team when its their turn to pick.
By having the teams make their pick on fantrax it will automatically add the players to their teams.
It also allows GM's to que up players so lets say I know I am going to be away for 48hours I can just que up my next 3 or so players and set it to auto draft.
It also saves your draft results so its easy to go back and view who has been drafted or reference again in the future if you need to.
Just throwing it out there to the admins.. would be happy to help you set it up if you wanted.
I would actually love to see all of our contracts and cap hits posted on fantrax as well but I know that would be an uphill battle to fight..... if you did it you would love it though.....

You can make trades during the draft. I am mid draft in my East coast league and we have processed several trades and its instant. If someone times out they can still go in and make a makeup pick at anytime.

I built the schedule in fantrax for Scouting Department (Corey made the schedule but it was implemented in fantrax by me) I would be happy to do the same for FNHL (if needed)
Yes, fantrax allows you to set multiple opponents in the same week...this allows a more realistic simulation imo. The rewards are clear, it gives a truer sense of the strongest teams & playoff teams/matchups are more deserved.
Division weighted scheduling also builds up rivalries & drives up interest. As a new GM having only 1 year vested in FNHL I did not wish to step on tradition, however I felt we could make a great league even better by increasing matchups to provide a more realistic total simulation.
The current schedule only needs to be edited to accomplish this task. If the matter can be voted on or approved, it is not overly complicated to achieve. We could have an 82 game schedule (by having 4 opponents for 16 weeks = 64 games & 3 opponents the final 6 weeks)
This is the best hockey league Ive ever been a part of, so if it stayed the same it wouldn't kill me, I would LOVE an 82 game simulation with all you fine gents. :toast:
You could simulate most the schedule. Just do it twice.
Set in fantrax for 2 games per week and division opponents only , have it generate. copy the results.
then go and set it to generate across the league. , then manually add it the results from the first simulation
Then review for any inconsistencies make fine adjustments as needed.
My personal opinion is I have never liked the division weighted schedules. I get why the NHL does it because they have to pay for plane tickets and time zones. From a fantasy perspective I like a level playing field vs. the idea of division weighting. People , so for 2 reason we just use evenly divided matchups across the entire league, 1) level playing field 2) much less manual labor.
For the league I run, we do even divided for the season , with the exception of the final week, for that each team plays every other team in their division, so we end up with our division weighting that way.

Don't see a place to vote on this ... but the Pens like the idea overall.

The owner of the Jets and Islanders is correct!
Too much extra work. There's plenty of options in this cap league to allow for trades and transactions without adding more secretarial work. For 30 teams it'll get mess and it's a needless option. If you Owners and GMs all spend wisely there'll be little need to move contract $$ around unlike the old farts in the real league.

yeah I can see that with the buyout rebate feature the idea of retaining cap in a trade is kind of redundant. I would probably prefer the cap retention option vs. the rebate as its more realistic to the NHL but that horse has been beat to death.

Penalties for not clearing roster space/cap for a final bid: During Season
Upon winning a bid that sets a team over the cap, the GM is granted 24 hours to post the transactions that will make the cap work (either a trade or releasing players). If the transactions are not valid or not posted within 24 hours of the bids being finalized, that team no longer receives the player.
Note: During the off-season, teams are allowed to go over the cap by 10% to accommodate transactions (extensions, trades, FA signings, prospect promotion, etc.).
-First violation is a warning
-Second is a 5% cap penalty
-Third and after are compounding 10% cap penalties.
After such a failed bid, the player goes back to the bidding board, starting off at zero, and the 72 hour clock is restarted. The offending team can no longer bid on that player, even if they clear up the cap space to do so.
No exceptions are granted to teams that won the bid but had a trade fall through - if you're not certain you'll have room, make the trade first. In other words, don't bid on a player you can't afford! Note that this applies only to FA. No trades can be completed that set a team over the cap - the trade must be re-worked.
--------------------------------------------------------
Based on the wording of this rule 2nd occurrence for not creating roster space or being over cap is a 5% cap penalty. Of course I am just busting PPG's bawls on this one.. I am pretty sure you guys reset the violations yearly.

When can a team apply the buy out discount on a player is releases? Can the discount be used more than once if the bought out player gets a buy out from the second team then signed as a free agent by a third team?
Any clarification would be appreciated.

Rules have changed over time, but you can currently buy out a player (you cant bid on them) and receive a discount if someone else gives them a contract.
Garrett Sparks is a good example on your flames. The discount was applied.

The reason we avoided unlocking draft picks 2yrs out was to prevent owners from mortgaging the future... that was important during the Free for All period of FNHL. Still kind of true for this era of Pay to Play because we dont want owners to empty the team's Draft Pick coffers which devalues teams if they ever need to be sold.
Finally, less administration to manage when you allow 1yr's worth of picks to be in-play.

For clarity, when it comes to buyout discounts where a player I buyout gets signed as a FA by another team, I only get to claim the first instance that player gets picked up correct? Or can I apply for another discount if he gets bought out and resigned again?
Don't want to miss out on any advantage I can get access to.

Quick answer, YES!
Why? Because cutting the player now would be in the 2016-17 season on up thru to July. As of August 15, 2017, the 2017-18 season begins (we roll over contracts to the new season in late July-early August). :toast:

I believe that answers it; but just so I'm certain on this before I make some decisions... let's pretend I believe Karl cost me the cup and I over react and want to can him...
Karl Alzner, $2.3m (2015-2018)
2/3 at 2 seasons equals 3.2m for 1 yr BO
All this goes against 16-17? Would I face a penalty for exceeding $73m or $80.3m?

Alzner's BO cost would be $3.0m (2016-2017) - 1yr b/o
Team have til June 30th 17h00 to fit BO into the 2016-17 season.
Team cant use their 10% offseason overage to BO players. Put another way, no penalty ... it just wouldnt be allowed as a BO.

Just confirming we can resign contacts in final year prior to the expansion draft/end of 16-17 year. I'm sitting on a few resignings for savings, was thinking I can only do contracts ending 17'

Resign
Jonas Brodin, $1.4m (2017-2020)

-

A bid of 11.5m in FNHL = 3.83333 or 3.9m annual cap hit for 3yrs.
A 3.0m and 4.5m bid are both valued at 1.5m for 3yrs. Because a 3m bid cannot be a 1.0m contract for 3yr, must be bumped up to 1.5m over 3yrs.
See.contract value ranges on the CONTRACTS rules page.

Great Question, TheBeef!
If you can find the original post referencing how the player was an original 2010 draftee during the original FNHL dispersal draft... by definition, a player originally drafted by a team to their active roster and/or MiLR should be eligible.

So, with the new prospect changes, I do not need to promote him here until he is due? I can just move him up and down on fantrax?

Yes is my understanding.
You just can't move them to the regular bench spots nor can you move regular guys into the minors bench spots is how I interpret it.
Free to use freely is what was voted on.
-

YES. But once he surpasses 82 regular season games, he gets released if you didn't sign him. Big penalty in store for abusers or owners rolling the dice with last min contract.

Would be willing to move Anders Bjork in the right deal or a D man. Preference would be young and cheap but if you have interest in him let me know. I'll try to figure out something that works if it's a player I'm interested in even if the cap fit isn't perfect.

Yes teams make moves to sacrifice the present for the future but I don't ever remember a hockey team dressing less than a full roster because they hoped to lose...
I don't personally care for it no. I could see a scenario where the bottom ten teams never play their guys in the future because there's no incentive too. I'm not making a big deal out of it though.

There's no rule. But we can put it to a vote.
Then there's the logistics of policing it and defining what counts as tanking, is it 10 consecutive week vs 6 random weeks vs the last wk of the year or is it tanking only when the team plays contenders?
Do you gents want a vote?

I don’t think this is grey in any shade. It is clearly funny business to not at a minimum put your best players into your lineup. No definition is necessary for that.
It’s all readily available math to calculate opportunity points and wins lost. I would just leave it to the mods to evaluate owner intent and adjust the draft order as math suggests.
I’m not sure one two or three is any different this year in draft quality but B.B. did not sell a bottom 10 team in Buffalo. More than one team is getting shifted in draft position...

The only way to find records from pasrbseasons is on Fantrax but inly if you were in FNHL.
If you simply want placement, you can look at Drafts and see where teams got slotted in the draft order.

Valid Q.
FNHL doesnt have an Anti-Tanking rule currently. There is a review for owners with multiple teams were we ensure there was an honest attempt to field the best lineups when thw owners teams face one another.
PPG touched on the reasons for there currently being no anti-tanking rule, dedicated review and criteria to oversee. Even building in a lottery system takes time.
In the end, I felt it was not worth my time nor PPG's to setup, regulate and enforce. If someone wants to step up and do that, we could review for 2018-19... but that person needs to be consistent and dedicated beyond 1 season.

League History tab in fantrax looks like cool feature, where a Commish can add stuff like that. I can see it by having been in the league since 2011-12 (officially I can only view West for that year). You can see past transaction here by Search > uncheck select all > hit exand league list > check and the Franchise NHL boards and then search for something specific. You can see the master roster pages by looking in the official rosters board. I am not sure if it has history relevant information, or just what everyone had on team.

There is a date on the FNHL calendar that references Buy-Out freeze starting March 5, 2018.
I would venture to guess that if my team has a prospect that needs to be promoted and my roster is already at 30 of 30 spots filled, the roster space should be made available prior to March 5th otherwise I will not be able to Buy-Out an active roster player beyond Match 5th and would lose the prospect to Free Agency? Is that correct?
Similarly, what happens to a team with 30 of 30 spots filled and an extra player coming off Long-term Injured Reserve? Does that IR player get activated and released to Free Agency?
-
:iatp: Mr Blk is correct. Only regular season and if it cuts into our league's plays for the sake of creating a grace period, we don't force teams to sign the MiLR player until the offseason or til contracts rollover.

Looks like a Grace period for rookies exceeding 82 games during the playoffs per PPG's comments above.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I take that to mean grace period during the NHL playoffs, not our playoffs. I think that we are already getting 82 free games, that may be over a couple seasons for some players. Teams in our playoffs shouldn't be able to use more than their 30 roster spots during the playoffs, it would give them an unfair advantage. They essentially could if they should have a minor leaguer signed but don't and swap him for another minor in their lineup. You could have guys play 90 games before being signed officially.
It's not hard to project which of your players will hit 82 games and plan accordingly. The whole point of dropping MILR players to FA if unsigned is to promote awareness and activity in a GMs management of their team. It is a very fitting penalty.

You can't use more than 30 guys because you can't send players with contracts down to the minors on fantrax to get them into the lineup.
You need to have a grace period during the playoffs if there is a buyout freeze. You have to give teams the ability to react. The NHL throws out the salary cap during the playoffs this is nothing new.

Teams have the ability to be proactive, they don't need the ability to react. The owners are smart enough to know who is approaching 82 games.

PPG said last year he had to watch Guetzel, who ended up with exactly 40 games. I know my Caps saved money specifically to give out ELC's. I have 3 guys over 70 gp right now.
-
I don't have any issue with not being able to use a guy that goes over the limit during the playoffs but I don't think anyone should lose a guy because they can't make changes to their roster. I thought that was what PPG was referring to and planned for that accordingly.
I guess he will have to clarify.

That's a new date we put into place as a result of the Supplemental Draft.
So yes, plan your roster space accordingly and make sure you're team has the needed space to welcome back injured players otherwise, they'll get released on Buyout terms, same for MiLR prospects that need to be called up after 82 games though the MiLR prospects if they're close to 82 games and haven't surpassed 82 by the end of FNHL's regular season they can pass over to 2018-19 to be promoted. :judge:

Does this mean that if an MiLR prospect plays their 83rd game this NHL season, but during the FNHL playoffs (3/5 - 4/8) that player can still remain an MiLR prospect until the 2018-19 season? Likewise, does this mean if a player comes of NHL IR during the FNHL playoffs, that player can remain on LTIR until the 2018-19 season?

I read it as any prospects not > 82 right now, can wait until next year to get ELC. I read that IR player will need to come off if they're not eligible and you need roster space now, or will get a buyout. As you know, you're roster will be illegal in fantrax if a player is not injured and on IR.

IR players that need to come off the LTIR must have a roster spot to land on when activated. Otherwise, the team will lose that LTIR at a standard Buyout rate of 66.66% over the remainder of the contract length.

Do those apply to me as the new owner because they are assigned to the team or are they tied to former management? Thanks!

Violations are GM specific, so luckily that is one thing on the sharks you don't inherit. You can post trades now, but they won't go through until trading opens back up.

Let's say I have used up all my off season cap overage and have resigned 4 players to extension that kick in when contracts rollover and my team has no cap overage available.
What happens to those players I extended? Do we get a period of time to fix that cap issue?
Just want to make sure we understand the rules and how they're applied.

Cap limits will go up before the rollover plus 10%... expiring buyouts will offer some relief also

AntMan lists some great points.
In the end, if a team has no cap available to resign a pending FA player, that players becomes a free agent. There's no grey area.

A suggestion for an anti-tanking rule for future.
Each non- playoff team gets the position of the team that actually finished in the same spot in real life, and we determine the top 3 by way of the real life lottery. I am sure teams would still tank, as the #1 pick had #1 position, etc, but gives a team like we saw Carolina go from 11 to 2. The reason I suggest this is that is makes perfect sense for this fantasy league, given we use all the real teams.

I think some form of Draft Lottery is in order but it's an added thing to manage for the guys who run the league. If we go with a lottery we should follow the NHL. More work and thinking is needed.
Then there's this site that simulates the Lottery system of the 4 major sports. Maybe FNHL can use this site to determine our league's Top 3 slots?

If it's not to difficult to implement, a lottery system should be put in place. I'm on board for a draft lottery.

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.

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.

I am looking for a clarification on Milr. If a player has 82 games played at the start of our playoffs, he would still be eligible for minors until the next season? I understand that once they reach 83 games, then they would become a FA. If this happens after our playoffs start, then the player would become a fa after 1 game played in 2020-21. I'd like this written in the rules, otherwise new GM's wouldn't understand how it works in this scenario.

Per PPG on March 2, 2018
That's a new date we put into place as a result of the Supplemental Draft.
So yes, plan your roster space accordingly and make sure you're team has the needed space to welcome back injured players otherwise, they'll get released on Buyout terms, same for MiLR prospects that need to be called up after 82 games though the MiLR prospects if they're close to 82 games and haven't surpassed 82 by the end of FNHL's regular season they can pass over to 2018-19 to be promoted. :judge:

A few owners PM'ed about whether the non-playoff teams could be allowing to trade and make transactions.
The short answer is NO - the restrictions apply across the board until we know what's going to happen to the NHL which directly impacts our FNHL playoffs.
Also, extensions are allowed right now but with Buyouts prohibited and all teams having fixed cap space since the transaction freeze went into effect, allowing some teams to clear cap would be unfair to the playoff teams -so we will maintain the current transaction freeze for all FNHL teams.

For the new vs old extensions, do we take the first number before the arrows ">>>>>" for current extensions and use the number after the arrows once August 1st hits?
Example, the #1 Center shows:
1 8.6 >>> 13.5
To extend that #1 Center before August 1st, we give a contract worth 8.6million and if we resign after August 1st, the extension will be for 13.5million. Correct?

As Morty said, new extensions for Wingers are calculated by 1st taking the highest rank of the winger, either LW or RW or both. Once you've determined the player's highest rank, look up the extension value.
So if a player with both LW and RW eligibility needs an extension, and his highest rank at LW is 5th and highest at RW is 7th, use the extension for 5th ranked Winger = $10.5m
Bottomline gents, nothing's changed really because the extension at either wing was the same for the same rank in the past. We just simplified the process.

Another option for enquiring minds is to research FNHL 2010 posts for the original transactions.
Finally, look up 2010 NHL rosters to see who were the best players and take it from there to start your Profsl research.

During the off-season in FA a team can be using their 10% cap overage and still bid and win a FA if they have the cap space to add the new contract. Otherwise, if there's no cap space, a team should not try to win the bid/FA, though in theory they can bid.

That's funny stuff Mordecai!
Giving away Max Domi and the 3rd round pick in a deep 2020 draft for a power forward that had one decent year 2 yrs ago but was on the shelf last season is beyond surprising to me. If at age 26 Anderson is that fragile, how much more will Josh Anderson break down as he get older? History tells us those players find their way onto the IR more frequently with age. Then you look at the optics of draft position, Max was taken 12th overall (1st rounder) while Anderson 95th (4th round) a year earlier. Just seems like the Jackets should've sent the Canadiens a draft pick.
