Please post any questions you have in this thread. Thanks :toast:
-

Yes it is chosen at random and no you can't trade picks because it will be all done on fantrax and I don't know exactly how to trade picks on there for the initiate draft

A bunch of questions to read through for new profsl members or those who would like a review of the rules in short form.
Edmonton Oilers: u sent me an email right
Dallas Stars: yeah, I was confused for a bit...I get it now...was confused on the draft stuff
Dallas Stars: its late and the mind goes late at night
Edmonton Oilers: o ya so fantrax is only the place where we keep track of points and do the draft
Edmonton Oilers: make sure to ur personal message on profsl to send message, trade approvals, questions and such
Dallas Stars: it was the salary's and contracts that had me lost was all
Edmonton Oilers: ok ya it is all tracked on profsl
Dallas Stars: So the driaft is done here?
Dallas Stars: see where Im lost
Edmonton Oilers: yep but I will transfer all rosters from here to the profsl site
Dallas Stars: how do i know about the salarys and stuff...after the draft is done?
Edmonton Oilers: o yes, i have to change that thread, thanks
Dallas Stars: I dont mean to be a dumb dumb, just a curious guy
Edmonton Oilers: um hockeybuzz.com has all the salaries for the players, after the draft is done I will post up all the info necessary in the roster pages
Dallas Stars: ok, I thought we were drafting based on a salary cap and when this thing im in now showed no salarys I got confused
Edmonton Oilers: ya so when you draft you can observe and keep track of salaries yourself
Edmonton Oilers: but if your over cap after the draft you will have like a week to get yourself under cap after the rosters have been posted
Dallas Stars: Ok so whil e im drafting here, I need to make sure I don't go over my cap.....so grabbing a team of star players like yahoo does isn't gonna be an option, which makes this much more difficult and much more fun
Dallas Stars: Good good, this is right up my alley cause i love my hockey!!
Dallas Stars: So signing someone to a 4 year contract would lower the overall salary your using per year which allows you more room correct
Edmonton Oilers: not necessarily
Dallas Stars: just reading that, your right not necessarily
Edmonton Oilers: we will have a wide talent pool to scoop up from though but yes a lot of stars will leave you with not much room for anyone else
Edmonton Oilers: to qualify for a 4 year contract the per year value of the contract must be greater than or equal to 6.5m per
Edmonton Oilers: so you can't sign a 4 year 1.5m contract
Dallas Stars: ok last question after Ive got the team and im a little over in the salary cap, so I need to make room, I can possiibly extend a contract were possible to lower my cap that
Dallas Stars: cause it could work out by extending the contract the sal per year is lowered and thus lowering my cap to the right level
Edmonton Oilers: ya that would work or a trade or a may let teams have a free drop or 2 depending on how many are over cap
Dallas Stars: or is it easier to drop a guy to get me below and pick up someone that wont put me over
Edmonton Oilers: ya
Edmonton Oilers: well i guess you wouldn't be able to sign an extension
Dallas Stars: How many can you drop after the draft if your over
Edmonton Oilers: because there is an extension period there is not extensions throughout the year
Dallas Stars: I see
Edmonton Oilers: i will check the rosters and then decide, probably not move then 1 or 2
Edmonton Oilers: *more
Dallas Stars: Firstly get the draft done, then get your boys under the cap limit, then can play around a bit
Dallas Stars: under if need be
Dallas Stars: It sounds quite fun once you get under the salary cap
Edmonton Oilers: yep it will be easy once we get the draft done
Edmonton Oilers: leagues this way are so much fun
Edmonton Oilers: i have 3 teams on profsl and 2 on yahoo and I prefer profsl for sure
Dallas Stars: So when i got to hockeybuzz and see the salaries, for Sidney if he is making 6 mill a year, if I draft him Ive already spent 6 mill of my 50 mill lets say cap
Edmonton Oilers: yep well cap is 59.4
Dallas Stars: lol good to know....you can spend that quickly
Edmonton Oilers: and crosby is 8.7m
Dallas Stars: yeah I know, i was just saying a number for example
Edmonton Oilers: ok haha
Dallas Stars: I can dream though eh that I could get cros for 6 lol
Edmonton Oilers: yes i am in Franchise NHL and I do't have too many big name players and if aam first in the league so
Dallas Stars: gonna be fun....lots for me to learn as I go...but it will come...like I said Im gathering getting a decent team under or around the cap is first and like u said I can go from there
Edmonton Oilers: ya exactly
Edmonton Oilers: lots of cap moves are made
Dallas Stars: By trade correct
Edmonton Oilers: yep
Dallas Stars: No other way correct
Edmonton Oilers: buyouts are possible
Edmonton Oilers: works same as real NHL and also by sending players to minors
Dallas Stars: So if im at my salary cap limit and someone offers me something that puts me over after the trade is done....how do I get back under
Dallas Stars: trade again, or can I send anyone to the minors to get back under
Edmonton Oilers: buyouts(drops), minors, or ya trade again
Edmonton Oilers: there are waivers for minors but yes that is an option
Dallas Stars: I see but after 40 games they have to come back from the minors
Edmonton Oilers: yes they come up free, so no waivers, then if you want to send them down they go through waivers
Dallas Stars: cool, okay, its late and my brain is on overload of excitement learning all this, so i better stop lol
Edmonton Oilers: haha ok
Dallas Stars: ok, wait a sec....if i pick up a guy coming from the minors on waivers, I get him for free?
Dallas Stars: I still pay the contract rght
Edmonton Oilers: rules are in waivers in homepage
Edmonton Oilers: backyard nhl - league rules - waivers
Edmonton Oilers: coming up is cheaper then when claiming going down
Dallas Stars: I see, ive read them, but I just needed to read them a little more carefully
Edmonton Oilers: haha yep
Edmonton Oilers: down you take over full salary
Edmonton Oilers: up you take over half salary
Dallas Stars: I see, i think I was confused if I put guys on my team to the minors are they available for people to pick up
Edmonton Oilers: so say crosby is sent down with no claim then he is called back up the person only owes half of his contract so 4.35 rounds to 4.4m
Dallas Stars: i see
Edmonton Oilers: and if he was claimed on way down then he salary would be 8.7m
Dallas Stars: so if I sent crosby down to lower my cap, somebody can pick him up
Edmonton Oilers: yes
Dallas Stars: so sending people to the minors lowers your cap but you will most likely lose the playertl
Dallas Stars: boo yaa I get it
Dallas Stars: god dam Im dumb tonight
Edmonton Oilers: sweet
Dallas Stars: lol
Edmonton Oilers: once it gets going everyone will get use to it
Dallas Stars: Well good times this is gonna be fun
Edmonton Oilers: awesome
Dallas Stars: thanks for letting me asking 80 sorta dumb ass questions bu
Dallas Stars: bud
Edmonton Oilers: that's alright
Edmonton Oilers: i am gonna post this so people can look it over as well
Dallas Stars: post what
Dallas Stars: this chat
Edmonton Oilers: yep just in the questions in case others have the same questions
Dallas Stars: haha so maybe my questions werent so bad
Edmonton Oilers: nope all good
Edmonton Oilers: it's good so then everyone knows the rules and fully understands
Dallas Stars: Thanks man, your awesome, :) ....I did read them, but needed clarity is all
Edmonton Oilers: yep cool
Edmonton Oilers: best of luck
Dallas Stars: :)

Good job bud that was a huge help just to clarify some questions I had and like he said I think that everyone will start to understand once we get going.

Just curious to the cap... I looked at my rester and counted my cap (so far) to come to around 73.7, so well over the cap. Is this a correct representation of my cap? Also, with the bench spots we have, do we just get them from bidding on the waivers?
Thanks

Rosters are all up to date now, so you can observe your cap space there. I have posted on the main page a couple ways to get your team under the cap. If your over the cap to claim a player via free agency you must be under the cap before you can claim them (I believe after a FA win you have 24 hours to make space to make room for player or you will be subject to penalties, See Free Agency in Rules)

Extensions for 2010 - 2011, do i have to sing my players by feb 28? as the actual contract does not end yet. Wanting clarification

Yes you have to sign them by Feb. 28 but the players will not be released until the end of the season if they are not re-signed.
-
Yes you have to sign them by Feb. 28 but the players will not be released until the end of the season if they are not re-signed.
If I resign players now like stamkos, purcell, niemi would put me over the cap, but their actual contract does not end until the end of the 2010-2011 season, I do not see the point of signing extensions now.
If I were to extend Stamkos Purcell Niemi for nest season I would be under the cap

Yes I see, but I have already started doing it that way for everyone, so I will have to continue at least till the end of the season. Then there can be a rule edit.

Alright will do then thanks for clarifying

New one, sending down players to the MInors will it affect the max 10 player roster??
-
Also is their any relief for teams with players that are gone for the season, such as Roy, Malkin
-
I was going to ask that about players who are injured for the year how does it work
-
Alright will do then thanks for clarifying
I am creating a rules change discussion folder in the Rules Section. So if anyone has any problems with the rules or would like to suggest a rule change please post in there.
-

The max minor league roster is 10, so if you send someone down of course they will affect the size of your roster. So if you already have 10 players, you will have to buy someone out or place someone on re-entry waivers to make room for the player being sent down.
-

Sorry no relief, you can use the waivers system to save cap space but it is just luck of the draw that players get hurt long-term. Sending them down subjects them to claims both ways though.
-
I thought I just posted this but it did not show up so here goes again.....
I am confused do to the fact that you say my Corey Perry who makes $5.3mil has to be signed to a 1 yr, 2 yr or 3 yr but not a 4 yr deal @ $5.3/yr.
But you give this example in the rules....Ex. a 9 million free agent bid can be a 3 year - $3m, 2 year - $4.5m, or a 1 year - $9m but can not be a 4 year - $2.3m
Does this only apply to FAs won? So does this mean that if I win Pominville @ $5.3 I can sign him to a 3 yr deal @ $1.8/yr?
Please see the post in the transaction hub. The limits apply to FA and extensions. It can not be a 3 year deal because the value per year is not between 3m-6.4m.

We can not reply to the rules discussion page you just made.......

Just clarification as on the rules page then rosters it says on the bottom after Max roster "This is subject to change" just thought I would ask
-

Yes that was for the total roster size from 25 players but I don't think that will change due to salary cap level and that nobody will be able to field all 25 since the talent pool is very diverse. I will fix it later and remove the subject to change

Just a clarification on the prospects, like other teams some prospects do not have contracts, do they need to have before the feb 28 th deadline

Nope prospects are kind of in a league of their own for us so far. Once they reach 40 games played or a GM decides to call up a prospect they have to be signed to a contract.

Does this include prospects that already have a contract? Is the same rules applied to experienced players pushed into the minors when their contracts end, or do they hit the FA market?
-

Yes applies to all prospects under 40 games played, if they already have a contract they will be bought up with the contract. Experienced players will become free agents when their contracts end. When a prospects contract end they remain in the minors until they hit 40 games then they are signed to a contract corresponding to their draft position or extension value which ever is higher.

Is there a waiting period for players picked up off waivers or signed as FA to make it to the team on fantrax? I see that Bergfors (FA signing) and Peverley (picked up off waivers) have been on my team roster here for a few days but they haven't been fantraxed so I figured I'd ask. Thanks - BOS.

Both players are on your fantrax already, if anyone else has issues like this you can PM me and I will get to looking at it right away.

When can we start bidding on other teams prospects that are free agents?? There are a few players in a couple of teams prospects list that I would like to bid on but teams like NYR haven't done their minor league teams so when can we bid on their prospects??? Is it you snooze you lose or is there going to be a deadline for teams to have a say on who they want in their minor league system???

That rule was created after they failed to do so, I sent the Toronto GM an email and he has 3 days to sign the contracts or they will be considered invalid.

Sorry but no 1 year contracts for this season. It will all be fixed for next season

One thing I guess if I had to be picky that I would like to be looked at is.
If I call someone up from the minors than their subject to waivers and if someone takes that player they only pay half the salary and I pay the difference...I love this cause it saves people sending players up and down whenever....buttttttt......If I make a trade lets say for "Joe Thorton" who i currently have in the minors than if Jesse was to take him he would go to Jesse's minor's and be subject to waivers like normal. Is it possible to get a player from someone else's minors straight up onto your main roster than the GM can decide weather to send that player down or not and do waivers that way.
Cause enlese I missed something Joe Thorton is stuck on my minor team for life!! lolol (way he is playing he should be anyways, haha)
:)

The way I understand the rules is that if you trade anybody that is currently on your minor league roster that player will automatically be placed on the other teams main roster. If that GM wants the player on his minor league roster he would have to send him down and hopes he clears waivers.

No this is the way it works in Franchise NHL, here a minor leaguer is traded and remains in the minor league because a GM could trade, say Thornton, to another team then they could trade them back and therefore get them out of the minors free of charge.

Ok, I stand corrected. Being in both leagues sometimes things can get confusing as there are differences.

Do Minor League Players follow the same extension rules as The Main Roster counterparts. Maybe I was looking in the wrong section but I couldn't find an answer

Minor league players under 40 games do not have to be signed to a contract until they reach 40 games or until the GM wants to call them up. Experienced players can't be signed to extensions if they are in the minors

As the commissioner you could easily stop a team from trying to do that. I like the idea of traded players automatically being placed on the NHL team. High salary players like Gaborik, or any player for that matter (who are only sent down in the first place to make cap room) are practically impossible to trade from the minor league squad since to be called up they have to go through the re-entry waivers, and having to take on half of any given players salary (for the duration of the contract) is great for the team that would claim him, but for the team wanting to recall him to potentially make a trade is to big of a risk in my opinion.

As someone who just got jacked by this rule, I like the idea... It also opens up more trade options.

Yes but that is how it works in NHL that is why you don't ever see many high salary players sent to minors because they don't want to run the risk of their players being poached. I am currently weighing the possibility of a waiver free period in the off-season, so this would solve the problem of skilled players in the minors. That is cap permitting as well and therefore if a player is traded now or during that period they could be called up during that period for that team.

Okay that would be very nice (waiver free period), but back onto the current waiver situation, unlike the NHL this is an 18 team league with the same amount of elite players and same CAP as the teams in real life, so there are going to be a lot more circumstances with waivers then what would normally be in the real world. Just putting in my two cents :) Still enjoying my time here.

Any thoughts on a league wide CAP of 65-75 mil
To put it simply. Agree or disagree. I don't like to have to make a trade just to stay under cap space year in and year out. I put my team together and I like my team a lot. I understand having to maybe trade away 2-3 or even letting them go to FA if a deal can't be done, but trading away most of a team that I built is not satisfying at all, especially with the extention $$ amounts being so high and out of wack.
Sure staying under the cap is a challenge, but honestly unrealistic unless you have a completely different core of players every single year. Just take a look at your cap situation right now, look at the extensions you will need to sign next year, and you will see how many players you WON'T be able to afford unless you trade 3/4 of them or just simply let them go to FA at years end. Everyone has an opinion, commish has the final say, this is my opinion on the topic. Thanks for reading :)
-
I am not looking forward to letting my core go I was thinking about this too if we did it like the NHL our cap would be around 90 million (30 teams x 59.4 million cap=1.782 billion divide that by the 18 teams in our pool would = 99 million) that is how the NHL does it. its based on the revenue brought in by the league divided by the amount of teams. I don't think we need to go up that high because that would be ridiculous but I do feel like we should have the cap somewhere between 5-8 million more then the real NHL cap. thats my opinion.
-
I like the cap the way it is. Maybe we can have the highest paid player on your roster not count towards the cap?
What do you guys think?
-
I like the way the contract extensions and salary cap is currently at, as these rules add more drama to the development of your team. Sure, its gonna stink to trade or lose valuable pieces of your team, but that is what makes this league interesting to me... That IS the drama.
I wouldn't mind if the cap goes up every season, but I don't see how a 5 to 10M upgrade is gonna make this just as challenging as it is now... Just be smarter in your spending and know what your team needs in the long run (which I think is terrible that we got rid of 1 year contracts... I don't want to sign all of my players to 2 year deals. Some are just rentals.)

1 year contracts will be returned next season.
-
My first reaction after the draft was, Holy Crap I am over the cap. When I checked the rosters at least 3/4 were over the cap. Now you have to adjust by league rules. Great players are sent to the minors because no one can afford them. Managers original vision of their team have to be rethought. My opinion is, over time every team will adjust there roster to meet the cap. For the first few years the teams that drafted wisely checking salary and contract lengths will have the advantage. But the astute managers will catch up eventually. The question is, will the league be able to last, during this breaking in period.

I think increasing cap will just make it harder to stay under the roster limit of 25. It is just the challenge of maintaining a core and filling it with role players or young talent. Can't change extensions because I wouldn't know where to start and they were stolen from the other NHL league here and seems to work well there. I think the off-season free agency will be most interesting because teams will not be handing out "huge" contracts with long length. We will see some of these things will pan out in the off-season.

I agree with an increased cap, regardless of the FA situation. Reason being - we're mirroring the NHL cap, which is cool - but we're not mirroring the # of NHL teams, so it's not working as intended. We're running just over half the number of teams of the NHL, with much smaller rosters due to the cap size and we're managing to extremely tight margins without any IR relief (as we've discussed in another thread). My cap in an ESPN league with 16 teams is 89 mil, and while that sounds high we use different contract rules that make players more expensive over time (base contract + performance each year). I feel that the cap should be adjusted to what it would be if the NHL ran the same size league we do. No idea what the math is on that, but I'm guessing it would add another 18-20 mil or so of cap space.
-
I am not in favor of increasing the cap other than minor inflation increases that mirror the NHL.
We drafted our rosters with the 59m cap in mind, and signed extensions based on this. This is not a rule
that can be changed at this point without blowing it up and starting over. If you increase by 20 or 30 mil
that would change the approach to how we set up our teams.
I know some teams got stuck because of the auto draft, as the computer didn't pay attention to cap
hits when drafting, just best available player. But I think most of us who did attend the draft, drafted
with the 59m cap in mind.

That is a good point, teams probably would have drafted completely different. I know I would have taken a shot at the high salary players more, like the low drafted Thornton or Malkin because of their high salaries. It could have also been that these high salary players could have gone to free agency then their contracts could be half of what they actually are.
Amiss my rambling I could propose this, players who are over 7m per year could be dropped for free by their team. Then they go to free agency. Just putting this out there, not saying this will happen.

From a personal note, I do not approve of this... I wanted one of these high salary players on my team, and I worked to make him fit under his current salary. Doing this will not be fair to the teams who want to keep their top end players and have been able to fit them under the cap. If you want them, make it work or wait until they drop into free agency (P.S. I heard Big Buff is available next year).... Use your brain a little, guys.
As CBJ stated, we knew the rules going in. And if we drastically change them now (aka adding more salary or dropping high salary guys into free agency for free), than we might as well start all over (and you can bet I am first picking a goalie this time lol).

We need to keep the cap the way it is. That is my opinion.

Thank you favo! Ya I was just putting that out there didn't have an intention of actually putting it through unless there is full league approval. Yes all of us had to make decisions already involving who to keep and who to let go. So players like Bogosion and Stafford are young guys for me that were too much to extend, so they are heading to free agency. Weber was a guy who I couldn't part with so I re-signed him and worked my team from there. If cap is raised up too much there will never be any turn over because you will always have to retain your players. Teams in the NHL have problems re-signing players also, see Chicago this off-season.
-
I am not in favor of increasing the cap other than minor inflation increases that mirror the NHL.
We drafted our rosters with the 59m cap in mind, and signed extensions based on this. This is not a rule
that can be changed at this point without blowing it up and starting over. If you increase by 20 or 30 mil
that would change the approach to how we set up our teams.
I know some teams got stuck because of the auto draft, as the computer didn't pay attention to cap
hits when drafting, just best available player. But I think most of us who did attend the draft, drafted
with the 59m cap in mind.
I agree with CBJ, I drafted with the cap in mind. I had to rework my team to get my core of players such as dropping Cammy & Pitkanen ( and a certain someone picked up Cammy) but the Cap should stay where it is. My 2 cents :judge:
-
Will the 40 games played rule be applied to the prospects that we signed through the FA??
For example, if I were to send down Pickard, his salary will not count towards my cap. If his contract ends this year do I have to call him up again to resign him to a new contract?? But he has never played an NHL game, much less reach the 40 game maximum.
I dont know if I explained that right but that just came to me today.

Only players that have been drafted by that team, that is without an * are available for the 40 games played rule. Prospects not drafted and signed through free agency would have to be called up (through re-entry waivers) then signed to a contract if made through waivers. It is just the risk you take signing prospects that haven't played a game yet.
-
Would you guys really draft differently if the cap was 3-5 million more??? 3-5 million would help resigning and not make it so that there is no turn over. I don't think the cap should be raised by more then that but I know that 3-5 million would help so much and not make it overly unrealistic. I mean we are going to baseball playoffs so already we are not like the real NHL so what would a few million more on the cap hurt??????

I have to say I would have drafted a person with a higher salary earlier and so may have others so the whole draft could have changed. I can't change cap mid-season anyway too. Also people have already made choices on who to let go and who to re-sign. Choices just have to be made and a core of players will always be held onto. I think is cap is fine and should mimic the actual NHL, yes the NHL has more teams but we have less players per team as well.

Why is fantrax website stating that I have an illegal roster on the live scoring page? It tells me to go to my roster screen for details yet there are no details. Tried removing some of my active players that are playing tonight into reserve slots yet that doesn't do anything either. ???
Fixed the problem. Ignore this post.

So how does free agent signing in the off season work??? what I mean is if someone who has not signed a contract in real life what do we go off of to offer him a contract???

It starts on July 15th so hopefully the big free agents are signed to contracts in the real NHL then their contracts here will be able to go by those numbers. If they are unsigned they will become free agents here too so no contract and can be signed at a league minimum of 200k.

Will the 2 way contract apply to players who have not played a game but were drafted during the fantasy draft? Well my example is Gudbranson

No because that was by choice and they are not in your minors. This only applys to player drafted at the entry draft or in the minors in the teams respective system

When will we have access to our buyout money?
Any buyouts expiring this season will be available the day prior to the draft, I think would be right so people can make trades on draft day.

Will draft day be when all the players with expiring contracts be put in free agency or will that happen closer to free agency
-

Sounds like a good plan for this season as well so everyone will know exactly what they teams look like going into the draft. Probably weekend before the draft this will happen, the rosters should be updated and free agent dropped.
I am hoping everyone will hop on the yahoo messenger ban wagon as it will make drafting players much easier in one big messenger board as well as draft day trades could be easier as well.

Will we have a resigning period before the draft or after the draft? Cause from what I understood, we were gonna have a resigning period before the FAs were dropped. Its cool with me either way, I just want to make sure this is clarified now and for future seasons (as I definitely plan on staying... great league ^.^)

Not this off-season, there will be no extension period. But for future seasons there will be an off-season and in-season extension period.
That is great that your planning on it 8-)

Don't know exactly what your asking but there will be a waiver free period after the draft where you can bring up and send down players as you want. But if they are sent down on a 1 way contract then they will have a * by their name
-

I was asking about the players that were removed from the MiLR to make space for players being sent down for example I asked to remove Eddie Lack G from my Minor Roster, the question now is will I be able to place him back in the MiLR, after the draft this year? If I read correctly we can bring in prospects as long as they are in the organization in the real NHL

No, it was only at the beginning where we could pick up prospects from our teams. Now we can only sign free agents and send them down or get them through the draft.

I don't know if this has been asked yet, but how is the draft going to work this year? I'm wondering will whoever gets last place for wins get to pick first or since there are no playoffs will the teams just be random as to who will get to pick in what order?

Reverse of the standing so whoever got 18th gets 1st pick and so on to 1st place gets 18th pick.

When will we be able to trade again? I've got a couple deals where I will be moving some draft picks so I wanted to know when we can trade again. Also when will we be losing our players not on contracts anymore? Will we be losing them before the draft or after the draft? I can't trade for players until those players are gone. :(

They will be gone before the draft for sure, probably in May because I will have sufficient time then. Trade will be re-opened at conclusion of season.

Is it just me or does the date for when free agency opens keep changing???? I would like to see it early July not late July
-
I think its in late july because we have to give the NHL teams time to sign the new free agents. So we know what the players salaries will be.
-
But we could start them off at 200k and go up from there
-

Ya this is done because we would want the major NHL free agents to be signed so we can go off their contracts for our references. It will be in middle of July the week after the entry draft.

Is there a way to make it so that we play all the teams from our division at least once? Last year Toronto didn't play any games against NYR or WSH. It would have been nice to play them since they are from my division.

Yes we will for sure have a game against everyone in our division. Hopefully fantrax will have their new format up which represents the actually NHL better which is a more divisional heavy schedule.

You can't you have to wait until they play 1 NHL game or draft them through the draft

What do people think about a goalie cap?? Not money wise, but number of players. We stress that goalies are of huge importance in this league, so why not make it a little more balanced in that regard. Say a max of 3?
I know we can't take goalies off of rosters, but if this was to be implemented some teams would just have to choose which goalies to keep once the contracts start running out...
Thoughts?

I'd be ok with it but think 4 woud be more fair as some would have 2 decent G's and maybe 2 that are career backups for a game here and there. But i wouldnt be totally against the idea of it. Would hvw to be standardized somehow though!

I am totally against this. Why even be part of this league if we are going to be told how to spend our cap are we going to have a cap on how many Centers we have too?? Yeah some teams have 6 goalies but they are hurting in other areas. Mine area that I am weak in is Defense.

so whats gonna happen to those players we want to send down to minors but are not on 1 year contact and no one wants them ??? are we stuck with them i really dont think thats fair either???

Yep pretty much it is to cover people signing bad contracts and have to either buy them out or try to free waiver them.

I see that Free Agency and the Waiver Period End on February 7th, 2012 @ 8:00pm. So does this mean we can't send up and down IR replacements? or sign IR replacements?

I will have to decide on that but I will say probably still can use that part. Just no signing IR replacements or free agents and no sending other players up or down. Also any IR replacement called up after this period would have to be sent down and could not be maintained on the roster. 2 ways would still be able to be used because they do not use the waiver system.

Any players that go unsigned after the 2nd extension period will be released to free agency after that extension period.

Do I have this right?
Example comparison of Free Agent Signing vs. Extensions.
LW Matt Moulson Ranked 30th in 11-12 and 51st in 10-11, so as the 30th Ranked LW would be required to Extend at 4m/year up to a maximum of 3 years.
If released to Free Agency he would be eligible for resigning at 50% of his Hockeybuzz Cap Hit (3,133,133) so half of 3.1m or 1.6m/year up to a maximum of 4 years.
Notwithstanding competitive bids it seems preferable to let most players walk and resign them later as FA's. There are a small number of exceptional players that should obviously be extended but in most cases it would seem better to play out a contract rather than signing an extension.
Even taking hostile bidding into consideration, given how little cap space GM's have to work with it's conceivable that a player like Mouslon could be re-acquired for less than 4m/year and at a term of 4 years rather than the 3 offered by extension. After all, the League only has 54 active roster slots at LW.
Is there strong enough incentive to pay a premium for the services of the 30th Ranked player even if his stock is somewhat on the rise?
Also, why is the length of the extension linked to the value of the re-signing? This entire clause seems to be written for young rapidly appreciating stars to keep them from being signed artificially low for a long period of time. That makes sense to me but why prohibit a player like Moulson from signing a 4 year extension when he could sign for 4 years via free-agency?
At the upper end of the scale I'll use the example of James Neal (the 2nd Ranked LW). I'm guessing he was dropped rather than being re-signed at the 8.5m/year extension number. As a Free Agent however bidding can start as low as 2.5m/year. That's quite a gap and I'm thinking there's room to extend the player at something closer to market value (both actual NHL and BY League).
Off the cuff I'm wondering if we could give our GM's an option to retain a player at a new value as determined by the market during Free Agency. In other words, release a player to free agency but have the ability to match the winning bid.
This may offer too much protection to GM's but by including a simple dis-incentive (an additional .5m/year added to the matched bid in order to bring that player back) may be enough to prevent GM's from releasing all their players to free-agency. Furthermore, GM's could be limited to matching one FA bid per season.
My rambling speculation aside I think we should be able to extend an aging veteran to a cheap 4 year contract.
The intent of this post is not to challenge the rules.
Rather, it is to ask if I have the correct understanding of them.

I'll get a full explain a bit later, maybe we can discuss the ability of the original GM being able to match the player in FA. We will look at all options!

Sorry Drew, I didn't mean to go off track with suggestions for changes. I just wanted to make sure I understood the way it's structured at the moment. The only thing that really struck me as odd is that I can't extend to the same length of term as I could on a FA contract.

Of course you can extend and sign a FA to the same contract years. This is the contract limits:
All contracts must be no longer than 4 years. Also, for a given salary, all contacts (extension, FA) have term limits (max years contract can be per the salary) as provided below.
Maximum Years
</= $2.9m, 2 years
$3.0m - $6.4m, 3 years
>$6.5m, 4 years
Contracts can be less in length then the given values but can't exceed the given years. Ex. a 9 million free agent bid can be a 3 year - $3m, 2 year - $4.5m, or a 1 year - $9m but can not be a 4 year - $2.3m
Note: Maximum dollars for a single season is $10m
Let me know if you don't completely understand this.
-
What I understand from that is I can extend a 3-6.4m contract by a max of 3 years while the same player signed as a free agent could sign for 4 years regardless of what he is paid.
This is a knock against signing players to an extension.
-
Here is a more in-depth explanation
Maximum Years
</= $2.9m, 2 years
- so an extension or signing can be 2 years that is in value of 0.2m to 2.9m
- 0.2m to 2.9m can also be a 1 year contract
$3.0m - $6.4m, 3 years
- so an extension or signing can be 3 years that is in value of 3.0m to 6.4m
- 3.0m to 6.4m can also be a 1 or 2 year contract
>$6.5m, 4 years
- so an extension or signing can be 4 years that is in value of over 6.5m
- over 6.5m contract can also be a 1, 2, or 3 year contract
Contracts can be less in length then the given values but can't exceed the given years. Ex. a 9 million free agent bid can be a 3 year - $3m, 2 year - $4.5m, or a 1 year - $9m but can not be a 4 year - $2.3m
Note: Maximum dollars for a single season is $10m

I get this.
If I have a player that is resigned to an extension in the 3-6.4m range (for example) then I can extend said player for 1, 2, or 3 years.
However....
If I let that same player go to Free Agency instead of extending them.....then I can sign said player to a contract of up to 4 years.
________________
Therefore, there is a built-in incentive to sign Free Agents rather than signing Extensions as a contract signed during Free Agency is more flexible.
Right?

I don't get exactly what you mean, if the value is between 3.0m to 6.4m, it can only be a 1,2,3 year contract, it can not be a 4 year contract no matter what way you are signing. If you mean you can sign him at 6.5m or over through free agency and a 4 year contract, you can also do that as an extension by simply paying the player more.
If the player's value is a $1.5m contract, you can only sign him for 1-2 years but you can increase his contract to $3.0m if you want a 3 year contract.

No worries Drew, just pecking over the finer points of things to be sure I've got it figured out. Thanks for your patience. :toast:

Is there a minimum bid for players that are still unsigned UFA's at the beginning of free agency on July 15th?
-

Nope, such as KHL players that don't have binding NHL contracts. Their contracts are then the league minimum at $0.2m.

Goalies now get 10 points for a goal??
-
Goalies now get 10 points for a goal??
Yes, if a goalie gets a goal they should get a good slice of points. There has only been 12 goals in NHL history by a goalie so it probably won't happen for some time again.

I understand what your saying but I think it should only be 2 points like players.
-

Well I believe it should be more than a player as it rarely happens. A reasonable point for a goalie scoring a goal would be number of goals scored by forwards divided by number of goals scored by goalies as that is how often it happens in comparison and times that by 2 as that is the points

OK :toast:
but you could argue that defenseman should get more points for a goal then a forward and points shorthanded should be more then the powerplay.
Maybe Im being a pain as usual? lol

If I could I would have made defensemen scoring goals worth more than forwards to equal it out but fantrax doesn't allow it I believe?
I think 10 is a fair amount for a goaltender goal for something that rarely happens. It is always good to be through Tony especially in the Backyard.
-
Well if a goalie scores in the last second of the 3rd to tie the game he doesn't get an extra point and win it too. Just sayin.

Players must be signed to a contract emulating they real contract. When signing a free agent they salary must be greater than or equal to 50% the real salary.
What if that player is an RFA without a posted salary (ex. Del Zotto) at current time?
Would you use 50% of their extension value or 50% of their last contract? Some other benchmark? Free to sign at league minimum??

Hey so just came across something that just seems wierd example Ryan Murphy car defenseman makes $1.375 mill a year in NHL but for me to sign him I have to pay him 1.5 mill bc 12th over all just wondering how this makes sense since we do FA half the salarys and the extrentions have changed ? Any thoughts? I don't see y I have to pay more then his real NHL contract

It all equals out in the end. You want to pay Yakupov 3.8m instead of 3m? :rofl:

Lol was a q but think they should be 1/4 less of there actual NHL contract or something like NHL contract divided by 1.25

It is unfortunate that some players will make more in our league then other but I think it is the standard we have had for 2 years and I don't wish to change it unless others are for this as well.

So I have a q how do we sign our n/c guys in minors if they were undrafted?

Sorry for late response but 200k for someone undrafted.

Just had a q if we were to buy someone out that's in our minors does that 66.6% of salary go agianst major roaster cap or minor roster cap?
-

Yes exactly, it would go against your major league cap. This also happens if someone retires in the minors as well.
-
Two way contracts are eligible for players who have been drafted by their respective teams.
If I trade for a draftee with N/C and (for example) no games played, would I be able to then sign him to a 2-way contract? Is that only possible to the original team that made the pick?
Would the 3rd party team be required to pay the additional $500k that is applied to FA 2-way contracts? (A clause that would make sense to drop for the sake of simplicity and ease of governance....why not just let all players under 40 games be eligible?)
Otherwise....I have inherited a number of prospects with N/C and limited games but have no idea if the were FA's, draftees, or the result of a trade.
-
Yes you can sign a player you received from a trade with a N/C, to a 2 way contract as only contracts with N/C were drafted within the entry draft in backyard.
Only FA's that were signed that are under the 40 game limit will have to pay the extra 500K
Hope this helps
-
any contract with N/C can be given a two way contract free of charge, no matter whether they were traded or not.

Thanks guys

Just a question about buyouts
I am thinking of buying out Reimer and I currently have 11.4 m in cap space I should be able to as reimer is owed 30 mil in next 3 years and 66.66% will be 20.1 something to buy him out
So reimer currently has a 10 mil cap hit & I ahve 11.4 mil in spcae. that should cover the buyout for this year? just want to clarify
still thinkgin about it thoguugh
thanks

Yes his buyout would be $20m if paid all this year. I believe you would have the cap space to do this.

So a q if I call up a guy from my minors as a ir replacement that still has 2 years left ie *Chris Pronger, $4.9m (2013-14) when my player returns can I send him down or does he have to stay on my main roster?

So another q maby it's just me but last season weren't we able to change our line ups for the day for later games ie goalies or injurys during morning skate were we are able to adjust for these? If not is there a way we can I know in other leagues they do this.
-
When will we pass the trade deadline?

Nope in this league they are set once first game is played.
There are other leagues that use this feature but we don't and I believe there was discussion of keeping it fair for everyone this way instead of the keeners getting the advantage.
When will we pass the trade deadline?
I am thinking end of week 6 to somewhere near the middle of week 8, what is everyone's thoughts. I think end of week 7 would be good (first day of week 8) because every team should have a pretty good idea of their direct by that time.

I should have elaborated on my stance... I think the last day of week 7 would be the best day to have it. There are only five games that day, so any last minute transactions should not disturb too much. On top of that, by that day, everyone should know where they stand in the play off race. I think it will be perfect.

Hey Drew, it's not clear to me if a vet IR replacement called up from the minors can be sent back early (before the IR player is back in action) or not. Specifically, can I send Tomonen back down before Karlsson is healthy?

Yes they can be sent back at any time through normal waivers

I was just looking at my extensions and was thinking about the cap for next season, is there any changes there ?
Yes there is a change down to 64.3m expected. I will try and update that in the projected cap space part.

We can add salary to an extension right?? In my case Patric Hornqvist's extension unless he goes crazy in the next week and moves up 40 spots on the scoring list is 2.7m per year for 2 years can I add 0.3m per year to make it 3m a year for 3 years??

Is the projected cap space for next season based off of a cap of 70.2M or is it based off of a cap of 64.3M? I recounted all of your math, and it looks like you are projecting our cap to be 70.2M instead of 64.3, which is exactly what the NHL's cap is going to be.
Only reason I ask is because a lot of teams are clamoring for cap space next season, and this might throw a couple people off. The only reason I notice is because I have everything in my files for 2013-14 set to 64.3M instead of 70.2M.

I just checked, I can put up a new file but I have them all set to 64.3m which it is expected to drop to. Should be based on the 64.3m let me know if that is wrong.

I am not basing this off of your file; I am basing everything I see you put up on the Official Roster pages. I have my own files that I keep on my team, which is the only reason why I seen the error on the Official Roster pages.
70.2 (this years cap space) - 51.7 (total I have spent next season in players) = 18.5
64.3 (next years cap space) - 51.7 (total I have spent next season in players) = 12.6
You currently have my projected cap number on the Philadelphia Flyers Official Roster page as 18.4 for next season.
I do not know how many players use the files you put up as opposed to the players who base all of their decisions on the Official Roster page (as I personally hate the look of Spreadsheets), but I just wanted to make sure everything is accurate as this could have huge repercussions next season.

Here is what I have for you (they should all be based on 64.3m unless the spreadsheet is doing something wrong):
C - 1.5m
LW - 9.9m
RW - 12.5 (Oh nevermind)
found the error, Callahan was put in as a 2 year contract instead of a 3 year on the spreadsheet, so now I have
RW - 17.9m
D - 14.2m
G - 7.8m
For total of 51.3m which would mean you should have 13m going into next season.

To be clear, the amnesty buy-out will be 100% free with no lasting impact to our roster other than the ability to drop a contract (provided it has not been extended this season)?

Poll locked, that is 18 if I include Tyler's
Vote was in favour 1 buyout to be used anywhere. I am good with this as it can be used by some to get players out of the minors that could be on major league teams and can be used to reduce cap due to the 6m drop in cap space.
Stipulations:
- Will be a period from after Extension Period #2 to a week before the 2013 Entry Draft that the buyout can be used
- Can not be used on players that were signed to extensions in 2012-13
Up for debate:
- Be used on players who retire following the 2012-13 season, yes or no
- Others?

I personally had no issue as i keep my roster on a word document and update as needed, Drew does a great job and remember this is a free league gents :)

I advise that you guys use the spreadsheet for the time being. I have been super busy with school but Tony has finished all the transactions on fantrax. I hope to start putting a dent in these transactions soon.
Also I ask for some leeway here as it is my first time in two years that things aren't being kept completely up to date. Here are my recommendations:
- use the spreadsheet, easiest way to manage your team without me having to keep it completely up to date
- be patient I will get things up to date
- Tony has everything up to date on fantrax and that is what is really important
Again sorry guys and hopefully things will be up to date soon.
-
I didnt mean to come across as complaining and I cant pull the spreadsheet up as I only have my phone with internet right now.

Sorry drew didn't mean to sound complaining I had no issue about my roster more so about fantrax yesterday I missed out on points bc trade didn't go threw and today I set my roster and trade was processed and now losing more points is all I was pointing out is there a better way that it is fair and equal to all gms?

We had a issue with Thomas Vokoun today. He should have been on Calgary's roster but for some reason he was dropped after I proceeded some trades today. I thought the rosters would have been set after the first game?
nelly85 missed out on 8.75 points. Should this be added to his weekly total? I feel that he should.

Could he have been dropped because Calgary is over the 5 goalie limit? If you look at his roster on Sunday, he has six goalies (Kabi, Vokoun, Garon, Lindback, Peters, and Fasth).

Seems like Khabby was on IR, Peters would had to been sent down to make them have a valid roster at time that Khabby was taken off IR. Peters could then be called up once Vokoun was traded. I will look into this situation.

Ok so here is what I think should be done, Peters kept on roster and Vokoun traded as of March 15th or Peters is sent down from games taken place on 15th to 17th then when Vokoun is traded Peters can be called back up.

Due to recommendation Vokoun would be an invalid player as of March 15th so therefore will not receive any points for any games happening on March 15th and there after.

Ok so here is what I think should be done, Peters kept on roster and Vokoun traded as of March 15th or Peters is sent down from games taken place on 15th to 17th then when Vokoun is traded Peters can be called back up.
I could have left kabby on ir Wich I believe have 48 hrs to adjust but it's all good I agree with what ever u guys say :beer:

I won a IR bid on Alex Killorn. I would like to sign him and keep him now that his IR player is back. Do I pay him half his salary or the bid amount.......and if it is the bid amount can I divde the salary over years??
-
I advise that you guys use the spreadsheet for the time being. I have been super busy with school but Tony has finished all the transactions on fantrax. I hope to start putting a dent in these transactions soon.
Also I ask for some leeway here as it is my first time in two years that things aren't being kept completely up to date. Here are my recommendations:
- use the spreadsheet, easiest way to manage your team without me having to keep it completely up to date
- be patient I will get things up to date
- Tony has everything up to date on fantrax and that is what is really important
Again sorry guys and hopefully things will be up to date soon.
I didn't make your job any easier....made one too many transactions and couldn't keep up with my own changes. :doh:
Tony has done a great job with Fantrax.....don't worry about the rest. We're all good.

IR contract has to be the same as the bid amount can't be divided by years.

That is a great question. I think the higher seed should get the win. IMO

I don't like that... It gives an unfair advantage to the teams that finished higher in the standings.
I think we should do it with stats. For example, Team A has 6 goals this week while his opponent, Team B, has 13 goals this week. Thus, Team B wins that stat. The team that wins the most stats wins the round.
If you count shut outs, we have 15 total stats that could help determine the winner.

Higher seeded teams should have the advantage.
Also you could still have teams that tie in the stats department as well.
Just my opinion. :thumbsup:

Maybe we can pick 5 to 7 stats to determine the tie instead. Either way, I feel as though giving the higher seeded teams that advantage is unfair, and this is coming from a team that is currently sitting 2nd. With the exception of seeding, I feel that basing anything else in the playoffs based on how you did in the regular season is an unfair advantage. Match ups should be about that week.

Hoping that there is no ties in playoffs. Haha.
But I'll have to see what is in rules but I think regular season is an important factor.

:iatp: I don't think we should give a win based on the person had a better season many factors injuries ect it's unfair in my opion it should be based on the week why not do wht the invatastional tournament did use stats like g/ga/a/sv/hits/blk/ and a point for each and the winner in most categories should get the win I think this would be more fair for every team and not on bc they higher seed team. It's weekly match ups should be based on the week

IMO regular season should count as a factor because it shows the best true reflection of a team and a GM and what that GM can do with the team regardless of injuries etc. 1 lucky week in the playoffs can happen, but no one gets lucky for an entire season.
-
Goals are the heaviest weighted stat worth 2 points and should be used in determining the winner. Use the most goals and if is still a tie then go to Assists and if its still a tie then take the higher seed.
-
Standings Tie Breakers
1. Most fantasy points for entire season
2. Head-to-head record
3. Least fantasy points against for entire season
So I will go with this:
1. Head-to-head record
2. Higher Seed
I hope everyone is fine with this, regular season does matter or else we wouldn't play the games, it is very important where you place and how well you perform during the season. Head to head is the only transferable tie breaker so it gets the first spot. Again hopefully there is no ties and maybe this is something we can look into in the off-season.

Not sure on the order of operations as contracts expire....do I have it right?
IR Replacements and Contracts End - April 28th, 2013 @ 12:00pm
Extension Period 2 Begins - April 30th, 2013 @ 12:00am
The way I have been reading this is that IR replacements can be released/signed to an extension simultaneous to releasing unwanted expiring contracts.
Scenario: I would be able to move two IR replacements back to my minor system (say Nash and Shwartz) which is currently at 19/20 players. To make room I intended to drop someone like Mason.
The second part of this question is: will I be able to hold-over some expiring contracts so that I may extend them? Example: Justin Faulk.
I guess the confusion for me is really about the expiring contracts and how long they can stay on our rosters because I am assuming they don't all dissipate immediately.
The two-day window between contracts expiring and the extension period is just there to allow time to update the projected cap space isn't it?

So IR contracts can always be extended when released doesn't matter the time.
After the extension period the players who were not extended will be released to free agency.
Yes the two days are for me to try and ensure everything is up to date and everyone has released IR contracted players or moved them to the minors.

Not sure that you are understanding what I am trying to clarify but I included some very specific examples in my original post.
Contracts end on the 28th, therefore I should be able to release (for example) *Chris Mason, $1.1m (2012-13) on the 28th. This would not be a buy-out.
If I have this wrong it could have a large impact on my roster.

So as per the rules only IR contracts expire, sorry that the deadlines aren't completely clear on that:
IR Replacements and Contracts End - April 28th, 2013 @ 12:00pm - should state instead IR replacements and IR contracts end
2012-13 contracts expire after the extension period is done. You can buyout these players if you wish but they can't be released free of cost until after that extension period is complete.
Hopefully this clears it up more, sorry for confusion.

Thanks Drew, it clears it up now but I've overloaded my rosters on the wording that "contracts end". I'll look to see if I can buy my way out but I could be in trouble.

Looks like I'll be able to make room on the roster numbers but not on cap space. Timmonen will have to get sent down to the Nailers and there's just no way I can make the cap space work. Honestly thought his contract would be over and he'd be released.

2012-13 contracts will have no affect on projected cap space for 2013-14. If you need to create cap space for players and don't have room in your minors, just simply buyout some players that have contracts ending in 2012-13 to try and make the appropriate space.

I get it but there's no way I'll be able to create $6.3m in cap room for this year. That's what I'm trying to say, I think there'll be a problem.
Regardless, you have explained that the deadlines should be worded more clearly and I appreciate that. We can deal with my predicted problems as they arise.

Ya I guess we'll cross that road when we get to it. Might end up in a warning or a cap penalty or something.

All 2012-13 contracts, including buyouts, will be removed after this extension period and we will be rolling over all contracts into the 2013-14 season! Amnesty buyouts will occur right after this period then trading will open once all amnesty buyouts have been accounted for.

(7/10/13) Sharks general manager Doug Wilson is unsure of Martin Havlat's long-term status with the team. Havlat underwent surgery on his pelvic area at the end of June and will start the season on the long-term injured reserve.
This is a quote I copied and pasted from Fantrax. Now that FA is here...... am I able to put him on IR and free that money to bid on a replacement?
-
When is the waiver free period ?
Waiver free will be a 2 week period that starts 1 week before the season to 1 week into the season.

Unfortunately as per the rules every year, being able to place a player on IR doesn't open until 1 week into the season.
The Sharks will also not be able to place Havlat on IR until the being on the season as well so it will also not be official that he is on IR until then as well.

Just wanna be clear on removing Minor [layers. as example I have someone like Bob Sanguennetti in my minors on last yr of contract. If I want to release him what are my options?
If it's a buy out where does the penalty hit, my minor cap or major cap?
Sorry just not 100% sure here1

Buying someone out in your minors would affect your major league cap and be placed in the buyout section of the roster.

Should be at least three match ups left. Olympics make us loss two match ups as they aren't full weeks.

I count 5 more match ups, excluding the two break weeks. So I am assuming play offs start in 7 weeks

Posted in the rules, will take affect at the roll-over stage but will not result in a penalty until the first scoring period. Also this is for active goalies so a goalie can be used as an IR replacement.
Does this mean we can exceed 3 active goalies by calling up a 4th goalie as an IR replacement for a defender or forward? Or does it mean that we can call up a goalie as an IR replacement in the case of a goalie injury?
The question opens up an old idea of only being able to fill IR positions with the same classification of player. The idea was shot down but maybe we should stipulate that a goalie can only sub-in in place of another goal tender that is out of action due to injury, thereby maintaining the rule of a maximum of 3 active goalies on the roster at any given time.

I believe I asked this in the rules discussion and there wasn't really discussion around this, currently the rules state 4 active goalies on the roster so if you have a player on IR he is not "active" so you can call up goalie to replace him as long as you don't exceed 4 active goalies. But the way this was, I believe Walt stated is that if the goalie is being brought will most likely not be as good as the player they are replacing. But we can open this back up for discussion as well.
-
Don't think we need further discussion as long as it is clear in the new wording that we will have a maximum of 3 playable goalies at any given time.

I don't remember saying anything like that. But I do remember mentioning that we should define an active player and an inactive player in the rules so this confusion does not come up. To me, a player on IR should not be considered active. Which is why the rules should say "3 active goalies per team".

Should we not set a time during the day that transactions need to be posted by for them to be processed for that night's games?
I posted about Pekka Rinne tonight, but Tony told me it was too late to process for tonight. I'm fine with that. I don't expect Drew or Tony to be on every night to check on transactions to be processed for that night, but shouldn't we have a daily deadline?
I don't really think it's fair if someone posts a transaction one day at 3 PM and it gets processed, and the next day another team posts at 3 PM, and it doesn't get processed in time.

-
Again, I don't want anyone to think I am whining...I just think there should be a time (whether it's weekly or daily at noon) to ensure the fairness to all owners. I would lean towards daily at noon, but then we would have to think about weekend games that start at 1 PM.
I would be fine with weekly as long as it is the same for everyone. I actually like weekly lineups, but I know that isn't going to happen.
-
While Drew was out, tony would normally get transactions done after the days games were complete. I like that time frame personally.
-

Yeah but my whole point is that we should have a daily time that the transaction needs to be posted by so that it's a level playing field. It's not fair to owners that one day a transaction gets processed, and the next day, a transaction posted at the same time of the day doesn't get done for that night's games. Drew and Tony aren't on every night at the same time, and they shouldn't have to be. I'm just saying that we need to set a daily deadline on when they need to be posted by so that we can ensure fairness to the entire league.

I think a daily time to be processed on fantrax is fair. Just ensures everyone is on the same page and there doesn't happen to be one thing happening one day and one another day.

I understand what you are saying, but I think we still need to set a time. Maybe 7 PM for the next night...or maybe midnight for the next night. I kind of like midnight for the next night. I know Tony is on late most nights, and then it gives Drew and Tony around 19 hours on a normal day to process.
-
Personally I don't expect daily processing. Sometimes it goes quick, other times we wait a bit. At no time have I ever felt it unfair.

I have a few guys with the * because they were 2 way players given the 1 way contract... do they get called up now or would they have to clear waivers?
Just was going to do my call ups/send downs to make sure all the cap was level before FA etc.
Thanks

They can be called up if they were on 2 ways this season as we are still on the 2013-14 season schedule. If they have a * beside their name and it was there in the 2013-14 season then they can only be called up at the waiver free period. If they had a * beside their name they can also not be re-signed.
-
So anyone without a * if they are eligible for a two way can be given a two way now and be called up?
-
When do our players w/o contracts come off the roster?
I would like to make moves after they are off the roster.
Thanks.

I'd like to sign Niklas Svedberg to a 3 year (2-way) contract through 2016-17 at $0.2m per.....is this possible? IE. is there a window after the current 2013-14 season but before the new $0.5m minimum kicks in?

If he is signed now he will still be under contract for 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 as for all contracts given in this period are for the next season.

With only 4 picks left in the draft, it is likely that the draft could be over by tomorrow. You therefore 1 week after the draft would put us at a date of July 30th for the first day of free agency.
-
So in that case if I am gone is it allowed for someone else to do my bidding for me? While I'm away?
-
So in that case if I am gone is it allowed for someone else to do my bidding for me? While I'm away?
Yep, if you want I can bid for you since my roster isn't allowing me to be very active in free agency right now.
But you should have a good week of bidding before you'll go inactive.

I always remember it being two weeks and it does make a huge difference because those last couple of games, the back up goalies usually play and that helped seal the deal. Although I think it makes things exciting tom have the final in two weeks.

Being new to league for extensions can you do them during off season before next season? The only advantage I can see doing it now is if you figure player will rank higher this year and is right now around the same ranking. Next Subban is on his last year of contract and he is 17th right now and 4th year before so it would be $6.0 million per with max of 3 years could you raise it to $6.5 million so you could sign him for 4 years?

Yep you can always choose to up the dollar value to give more years. There is another extension period that lasts 2 weeks after the season is done.

Up and down movement for players on two-way contracts.
They are allowed to move up and down freely as you wish and don't close. The official change over of contracts is May 2nd, so any player that is on a 2 way contract for this season and will get a 1 way contract next season will get their new contract then.

No, it is 100% based on his ranking for the current season and the last. Whichever is higher and at the position he is highest at (in the case of multi-position eligibility).

I've read that next years cap could bump to $70-$71m but that it could actually drop to $68m depending on an NHLPA vote re: a wage escalator clause. Do we already have a projected cap in place for next season and if so where is it posted? If not, when will it be determined?

Ya I should really post it in the cap space section of the rules. I have updated rosters to reflect it in the "projected cap space section". It is $73.0m I believe is where I set it. Our cap will follow the actual NHL cap though if it goes up or down.
Edited, I did set to $73.0m here for proected:

You have to use it the very next season. So the discounts you won this season (10% for division and 10% for 2nd) have to be used in 2015-16.

Also:
I don't understand where we are at with the FA's right now, regardless of the vote (the results of which won't be in effect for another year). So....will all current FA's that go unsigned through Extension #2 just be released to free-agency or was there a window last year to deal them? I can't remember.

The window was last years trade deadline. Trading will not open again until after extension #2, thus all unsigned players will be released to free agency.

Just a couple of things...
1. Have minor league rosters been updated recently? I know the entry draft picks aren't on there yet, but it seems like my roster size count and salary room are way off.

-
Where are we at with the Header?
It is in the forum administration hands. Corey will get back to me sometime with a solution but right now there is an internal error since Backyard is one of the eldest leagues that was brought over from the original system. One possible solution would be complete new boards which would happen to reset our visitor numbers to Backyard so not ideal.

1. I will be updating minor rosters today as much as I can with the draft picks and making sure all games played are correct. If you see an error in cap and roster size, just let me know so I can do a reevaluation!
2. Yes, two way players can be moved back and forth at anytime and don't need waivers to be open.

Go to Commissioner --> All Options --> Player Position Eligibility. In that screen you will be able to choose any player in your league and select which positions you want that player to be eligible at. Any position(s) selected will override that player's current eligible position(s), and will be effective from the start of your season (Period #1).
It seems the commish can do this.

Question about Fantrax: On the team page there's some default stat views that I would like to change on my end if possible. I'd love for it to default to Year to Date stats for NHL while it currently defaults to Scoring period for the points scored for the fantasy team. Is this a league setting or is there a way for me to change my defaults. I believe there used to be options to change this but I can't find them anywhere.

question about claimable waivers - if the players remains unclaimed after 24 hours do they go to back to the major or are they sent down to the minors?

Thanks Slack I get the gist of that part but here is the rule that I wanted some clarity, the part in bold. Major or Minor
D) Claimable Waivers
Players with more than 1 year left on their contract can be put on claimable waivers. Claimable waivers will last 24 hours and can only be done twice a year per team. If a player is claimed by a team, the team takes on their full contract and salary. If the player is unclaimed they return to their team at same contract and salary. Transactions will occur in the Waivers folder and topic should look as follows:
Sidney Crosby - Claimable Waiver
- please also change the message icon to reflect the team putting the player on claimable waivers

Yes this is correct and what Slack has said. Although if you place a player on waviers in the last year of their contract they do not need to be stated as a claimable waiver because essentially they already are and you are just "wasting" a claimable waiver. Normal waivers they will be sent down to the minors. Claimable they are returned to your team.

Call up experienced minor leaguers without going through re-entry waivers. When the IR player returns these players must be sent down through the normal waiver system or remain on the team and count against cap and roster size.
So even though Waivers are closed, I can call up an experienced minor leaguer as an IR replacement?

Since waivers are closed players not on 2 ways are ineligible to be sent back down or brought up. The exception is made for those that were already there before the deadline.

So last night, I noticed Edmonton had an extra defenseman set and it prevented Edmonton from accumilating points. Now that I check the scores, it shows Edmonton has points and one less defenseman. I got screenshots too. What happened?

That was a combination of myself and Tony. Tony processed transactions which made my roster illegal, adding Kronwall and putting Little on IR. I reversed the transaction and re-processed it with Kronwall being placed on bench instead of active coming off IR.
Sorry I should have PM'd you or the league before doing this but it was late at night when I noticed.

Works for me.

This statement reads as confusing then as it clearly says you can call up a veteran without going through waivers.
I understand, I will clarify clearer in the rules. This is the way waivers have been run since it was introduced to the league though.

Sorry, first offseason for me. Probably will have several more questions.

An exact free agency date will be announced once we finish the draft. Usually begins about a week after we finish the draft.

Waiver Period Ends - February 15th, 2017 @ 11:59pm
so does that mean IR replacements from our minors are closed now as well like I cant put anyone on IR and call someone up?

I would really like to see an additional waiver free period this year ahead of the expansion draft. It makes sense to me that we should be able to rejig our rosters as best possible before they get picked over. What do you think?

To be honest Drew, I'm not looking at it the way you are. I really haven't asked the questions I need in order to fully understand your expansion rules. But this ask is not about that. I'd like to do some housekeeping moves so I feel like my roster is an order that makes sense to me.
My specific example (possibly calling Scott Darling up) probably puts me in a less favourable position without circumnavigating anything. I have no interest in calling up previously waived players on expiring contracts. I just think we should be allowed to tinker before we get plundered.
-
Maybe you could answer a different question for me. The expansion rules now indicate that the new teams may select only a single goalie....but it isn't clear if that includes minor league goalies. Can an expansion team take one roster goalie, and then load up on minor league goalies without limit?
-

That would be something that needs to be clarified but my intention was that 1 goalie total but expansion teams must follow the bottom rules when selecting.
a) 17 round snaking draft (this would give these teams full rosters to play with)
i) Of these 17 players, 9 must have contracts for the 2017-18 season
ii) The expansion teams must select 10 forwards, 6 defense and 1 goalie.

Isn't there one more extension period?

There will be one more extension period but after the expansion draft, so any unprotected players with no contract into 2017-18 will be the responsible of an expansion team to extend if picked.

Seems to be some confusion on what minors are protected. Is it players draft in the last 2 real life drafts or last 2 fantasy drafts here? Chicago protected Myers, who was drafted here in '16.

ahm about this... am just confuse,,,
we cant protect expired contracts and can only protect players with 2017 contracts onwards? and also expansion teams cant select players that have an expired contracts?... am i right?
..so those players have expired contracts are safe, not to be pick by an expansion team.. but there fate rely on the current team if they will be resigned or not in the next extension period?...
.. i protected players with expiring contracts lol :doh: ...
.. want to confirm this question so i can edit my protection list..

as far as i know last 2 real nhl draft players are protected given that the GM provides the round and pick.
In terms of Chicago, i believe Myers takes up one of the 5 minor spots regardless of draft year/contract

No the protection is for our last two drafts not the real NHL drafts.

You can also protect expiring contracts if you want.

For the expansion draft I assume we just have to look through the players from the "unprotected list" and choose from there, correct? Like they won't be available in FanTrax will they so we can toggle with that to see points and position etc?
-
Using the "Watch Player" function might be helpful. Maybe go through the rosters and flag anyone who interests you.

Hey, just wondering about extensions....as I read the rules, you use the highest point total from the past two years (and consider all potential positions). Has there been any thought or discussion given to using an average of the past couple of years? I just wonder as it would give a more accurate in the case of injury, etc. Not trying to be the guy who comes late to the party and wants to turn over the tables, just curious...

We haven't had much discussion on that because in all honesty it has never been an issue through the entirety of the league. Usually a good player doesn't have 2 bad back to back seasons and if they do, we may not consider them good anymore. As for injuries, it levels out the rise to re-sign them if you are getting them cheap due to injury, it may just happen again. Anyone else have comments on this?

I like how we do it now for 2 reasons:
1) You cannot get a discount on a Stamkos-like talent where he goes down for a year with injury. High end talent costs high end dollars, regardless of an injury OR off year.
2) Ease of use. This has to be a factor. This would add another variable to the extension equation, which is more work for us and for the league management. Since I run my own league, I'm particularly sensitive about the management side. Auditing extensions is one of the most time consuming parts of running a league like this. Adding this element means more time spent on administration for Drew.
-
However, on this topic, I would like to again suggest a minimum extension length that depends on the value of the contract. There's currently very little incentive to signing players longterm. High value contracts should carry a certain minimum length. Look at Seguin, for example, I re-signed him for 2 years at $7.5m. That should have been a minimum 5 year contract length IMO.
Here's how I handle it in my league:
Contract Limits
Except for any contract inherited in 2011, all contracts must be no longer than five years. Also, for a given salary, all contracts have term limits (max years contract can be per the yearly salary) as provided below.
Salary - Max Years
$5m+ - 5 years (the overall limit)
$3.5 to $4.9m - 4 years
$2 to $3.4m - 3 years
$0 to $1.9m - 2 years
Contract Limits for Extensions
Contract extensions follow the contract maximum lengths as shown above as well as their own minimum standards.
Salary - Min & Max Years
$6.5m+ - 5 years (the overall limit)
$5 to $6.4m - 4 or 5 years
$3.5 to $4.9m - 3 or 4 years
$2 to $3.4m - 2 or 3 years
$0 to $1.9m - 1 or 2 years

Backyard's contract structure has been working nicely years. It is the differences between leagues that makes them special.

Here's how I handle it in my league:
Could be something for discussion, we had it this way in the beginning and changed it to how it is now. Maybe somehow this could be worked into RFA style rule? If you sign a player under the max then they are place on an "RFA" where their next contract would have to be the max years?
Just food for thought.

I like that idea. Or if you don't sign a certain quality player to the max then they can't be extended again and become a UFA at the end of the contract.
-
I like that idea. Or if you don't sign a certain quality player to the max then they can't be extended again and become a UFA at the end of the contract.
I don't like the auto release as the reason you sign to a short contract (bridge contract) is to hope to get them cheaper the next time around but if we force into a max extension on the next one that makes sense in terms of the real life "bridge contracts".

Yea, true. Just shooting from the hip.

Yes only a player in the last year of their contract may be sent down, anyone may be called up though as some may have (due to extensions) players with contracts past the next season in their minors.

are we going to get an extra day for extensions since the site was down
As of right now I don't believe the site being down affected anyone being unable to extend. Tony was the last to extend and I was able to see those after the deadline came and went. If anyone had an issue, please pm me but from my knowledge the site went down after our extension deadline had passed.

Fabbri is still on contract and not expired,,, i was confuse on this also then but it was explained to me..,,
"Robby Fabbri, $1.0m (2016-17) $1.8m (2018-19)"
the cross out on the 2018-19 season is his new value after the 2016-17 .

Not sure, it seems we're seeing two different things.
Christopher Gibson for a 5th was the trade. Trade wasn't processed but was still voted through on July 9th once voted through the player would be yours. There is also the option to extend at the time of the trade just in case. Also others also made trades and extended their players.
From my knowledge the site went down at approximately 9pm EST on July 10th. Our deadline for extensions was at 12pm EST on July 10th so the site going down would have no bearing on whether a team could of completed extensions.
I'm going to need more clarification on this but as I see it currently, simply a deadline was missed resulting in a player walking.

No, that wasn't the trade. I never offered or accepted a trade where pick 5.1 was involved. I could care less about Gibson right now, but I didn't know you could extend a player not on your team.

If player on 2 way hits 40 games the contract remains 2 way until the 2 way contract ends
claimable waivers stays on your team if no other team claims them, also this waiver is used on players with no expiring contract this year. ex I can post a claimable waiver for Holtby (19-20) and not for Vey (17-18)
-
Haha nope! Waivers are open but waiver free will not open until a week before the season.
Can we change this rule for next year so waiver free is done before or at the same time than FA. This would allow us to free up some space/money in our NHL roster for FA?
Do we have a limited number of players we could send via waiver free?

Yep, working as intended. Free up cap space during the season before hand.
-
Can we change this rule for next year so waiver free is done before or at the same time than FA. This would allow us to free up some space/money in our NHL roster for FA?
Do we have a limited number of players we could send via waiver free?
:thumbsup:
Ya the waiver free period is not before the FA so that teams have to use the normal waiver system to clear up some cap space and puts more risk to trying to gain that cap space. I currently prefer waiver free where it is.
Only limitation to waiver free is the minor and major caps.
-
When a minor league player is bought out does the cap hit transfer to the main roster?
-
yes that is correct. I cant see it in the rule but I remember having to buy someone out that was in my minors because they retired and the cap hit was to main roster, not the minor's
-

Yep buy outs affect only the major league cap no matter where they reside on your team.

Can I put a player on Free waiver if his contract expires only in 18-19? or it is reserved only for 17-18 players

Free waiver for any year I believe, I will be calling up Vasi through free wiaver

Only players in the last year of their contract can be sent down to the minors.

Re: Modified Waiver Free Period - Rule states this is available after the second extension but I am wondering if it occurs before the contracts roll-over?
Specifically, Val Nichushkin's contract expires this season. If I want to retain his rights do I have to call him up during scheduled games or can he come up after the second extension? Or, now that I think about it, does the inability to extend him in the minors (*Val Nichushkin) mean that I can't take advantage of this rule?
-
just notice the game week days, its from Saturday to Friday and not Monday to Sunday ..is this the normal game week days since then??

Sorry but I thought I answered this one but seemed to have missed it. This would only be for players that's contracts extend into next season that have been extended in the minors by some means since it comes after the extension period is over.
So for example I could use this period to call up
Marchessault
Watson
Cousins
Lehtera
to my major roster before free agency to ensure a roster spot for them. Calling up someone like Carrier would result in him hitting free agency anyway as there would be no other way to extend him beyond this season.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Could maybe change the colour, anyone else prefer that?
I will attempt some different colours and come up with a solution.

Suggestion related to 2-way players:
im suggesting if it is possible to make a sticky thread in the transactions exclusively for calling up and sending down players under 2-way contract. rather than creating new post after new post.
just a suggestion though..

This could work! This would be exclusively for calling up two-ways and not signing and calling up.

Not sure when the NHL finalizes the cap numbers, but we'll be following to about $80m right?
Actually read the PM. :rofl:

For next year, can we can change lineups so they lock at start of each game not the start of 1st games of each day?
I was going to set my lineup prior to the Saber/Kings game but got sidetracked for just a few minutes and then it locked and now have a bunch of guys on my bench. Not the first time it's happened, and I know I can set ahead of time so it's partially on me, but still I'd really like this changed if possible.
-
I recall a conversation last year, largely led by Tyler, around having a window to trade expiring contracts ahead of the roll-over or something like that. I don't see anything on our important dates for this but if I remember correctly we were going to allow a period for trades prior to the end of the 2nd extension period I think. Is this right?

Yes there will be a period following the season for this to happen! Most likely our second extension period won't happen till mid may.

They aren't really lost, they are just hidden. At least for me they are hidden. Using a web browser (I don't use the app), you can click "My Leagues" in the menu then the top option of "View All Current/Past Leagues" and it will show up.

Should still be there. I do have to renew to the new season though so there will be a new fantrax page coming soon.

Cap is already set for next season! Set at $83m, there should be post somewhere stating this as well as your roster should reflect a 83m cap in the projected portion.

Sorry not 83m but should be $80m.
This is reflected in the cap page as the projected cap.

Interesting thing...Rask is on a leave of absence. Don't think this has ever come up before, for us anyway. Can I place him on IR? Don't figure it would be fair that he continue to count against my active roster.

Definitely is an interesting case, but I think it is covered well in the actual rulebook. Our IR spots are for long-term situations and not really supposed to be used for short-term cases. Though the real-life NHL can place players on short-term and retroactive IR, and our rules state that anyone on IR in real life will qualify for IR in Backyard.
Everything I've seen has said Rask is being given a few days, and TSN lists him as day-to-day. Therefore, he doesn't qualify for IR. If he was given a leave of absence and it was framed as a prolonged situation, or if TSN listed him as "out indefinitely" then he would qualify.
https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/bruins-grant-tuukka-rask-leave-of-absence-confirm-charlie-mcavoy-is-in-concussion-protocol/ (https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/bruins-grant-tuukka-rask-leave-of-absence-confirm-charlie-mcavoy-is-in-concussion-protocol/)
A) IR Spots and Qualification
Each team will have 3 IR spots to place players that will injured. They must be injured for 10 games or 4 weeks (the longest projected time out) from the time the GM submits the IR player. A player put on IR still counts against the cap but doesn't count against the roster size.
Stipulation: If a NHL player is on the real IR they are eligible for the Backyard IR and do not have to be missing 10 games or 4 weeks from the time the GM submits.
We will use this site from reference of injury reserve:
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/injuries/
For our purposes out indefinitely will qualify for IR placement. Plus anything over 4 weeks excepted to be out.
We will also used the fantrax data to confirm or dispute these injuries.

I can't remember for the life of me if you can trade money in this league? From my quick research it seems like no. Maybe I'm just blind and it's in the rules

What a horrible time to ask this question, why didn't you say anything earlier in the season?!?!?! :rofl:
I've never won a Backyard award, so I totally forgot that it was even a thing.
At this point, I'm on the fence. We could award the 2018 and 2019 awards both this off-season, but that would be a lot of discounts and I don't know if any team would get too much of an advantage for 2019-2020. I think it'd be good to have Drew weigh in. Maybe even do a league vote on the issue. Maybe if we award both years, a team couldn't claim the same award twice, I'm not sure if anyone is in that situation.

Just assumed it would get taken care of properly. Lots of time to sort it out yet as the 2nd extension round isn't done. Anyway, as the winner of last years cup it'd be lousy not to get my prize.
-
Completely missed guys, but my opinion would be delay extension period 2 until awards are in place from the previous season, there are only a few that affect any discounts. I would say that they could be retroactive to extension period #1 as well but not free agency.
-
For rounding how does it work again?
For example if I apply 10% off on signing say Sean Couturier at an extension of $4.9m, then I would get a $0.49m discount rounded to either $0.5 or $0.4?

For awards from last season, it would only apply to extensions from period 1 and not period 2 of this season? As i have couple big resigns, it would be helpful to use those in period 2 as well.
Just read the awards section and it states used in the following season, does extension period 2 not part of current season?
Just looking for clarification
-
I have always understood that using the award discount in extension 2 was fine. It is part of the current 2018-2019 season.

Our cap mimics the NHL cap, so $81.5m is the upper limit and $60.2m is the lower limit. Sorry, you didn't miss an official announcement, but it was updated in the rulebook.

My team page only sums to $70.1m, but I should work under the assumption of $81.5m?
Thanks!

Don't see anything in rules about this specific situation so curious if I am allowed to break apart my IR replacment to only keep 1 of 2. For example, I signed Matt Calvert and called up Marcus Foligno as experience minor I now want only Calvert.
I made above move before Foligno got injured himself so can I send him back to minors and open spot? I would then use open roster spot to call up another minor player or simply sign another player outright.

Yes you can send him down, but since he is an experienced player, only if he clears waivers. So you can waive him if you'd like.
