A question has come up about being over the cap in regards to winning a FA bid.  Are we at no point in time to be allowed over the cap or can we win a bid that would put us over, and then work out a trade to get back under?

I have been operating on the principal that whatever bids I currently have out that I would be able to cover if I were to win them all at that very moment.

At no point should teams be over the cap.  This is something that's very tough for me to audit so if you do exceed your cap on a winning bid the bid will be null and void and the player will go back to FA status.  So, it's the teams' responsibility to make sure they're always under the cap, to avoid losing a winning bid.

What if you have a player you can drop immediately that is under the 1 mill salary mark?

I can see not allowing it when someone has to make a trade but the latter is simply a roster move.

Do we have the max winnig bid rule? Like we can only have 5 winning bids open at a time or is it a free for all and we can have as many as we like??

That would be fine.  If someone does exceed their cap I'll message them to see if they can make a roster move to afford the winning bid.  If not, the bid is null and void.

No limit, you can have 30 at once if you have the cap/roster room for it.

Are we allowed to move players back and forth from Major and MilR, as long as they are under the 40 game limit

Yup, just post on the transaction board so I can update your roster.  You can move them on Fantrax yourself.

I'd go with Philly.  Strong team top to bottom.  Vokoun and Bryz will anchor them and he's got lots of point producers.
