Releasing Players:Any player making under $1m per year can be dropped for free with no penalty ($0.5m-$0.9m per year) Contract Buy-Outs:Teams are permitted to buy-out a player's contract to obtain a reduced salary cap hit over the remaining length of the contract Buy-out rules are in line with NHL rulesBuy-out amount is based on the age of the player at the time of the buy-out, as follows: - 1/3 of the remaining contract value, if the player is younger than 26 at the time of the buy-out (x by 0.333) - 2/3 of the remaining contract value, if the player is 26 or older at the time of the buy-out (x by 0.667) A buy-out may be spread out over the total number of years the player has remaining on his contract (fewer years are allowed but never more) The cap hit per year is calculated as follows: - Multiply the remaining salary by the buy-out amount (as determined by age) to obtain the total buy-out cost - Spread the total buy-out cost evenly over the remaining contract years Examples:Example (1) Player A is 29 years old. Contract is $8.0m (2022-2023). (Under contract for 3 years at $8.0m per year) Buy-Out Calculation: $8.0m x 3 years remaining = $24.0m remaining salary Multiply $24.0m by 2/3 (player is 26 or older at time of buy-out): 24 x 0.667 = 16.01 -> Rounded = $16.0m total buy-out cost - The $16.0m buy-out cost may be paid out over 3 years max (length of original contract) - You may also pay the $16.0m buy-out cost over 1 year all at once, or over 2 or 3 years split up however you choose Examples: Split Over 2 Years: 2020-21 = $10.0m; 2021-22 = $6.0m Split over 3 Years Differently: 2020-21 = $0m; 2021-22 = $10.5m; 2022-23 = $5.5m Split over 3 Years Evenly: 2020-21 = $5.3m; 2021-22 = $5.3m; 2022-23 = $5.4m Example (2) Player A is 25 years old. Contract is $4.0m (2023-2024). (Under contract for 4 years at $4.0m per year) Buy-Out Calculation: $4.0m x 4 years remaining = $16.0m remaining salary Multiply $16.0m by 1/3 (player is under 26 at time of buy-out): 16 x 0.333 = 5.328 -> Rounded = $5.3m total buy-out cost - The $5.3m buy-out cost may be paid out over 1, 2, 3, or 4 years, split up however you choose Re-Allocating Buy-Out Funds:To allow for maximum cap flexibility for future years, you may at any time re-allocate funds for a buy-out. Example:A $15.0m buy-out originally split over 3 Years: 2020-21 = $5.0m; 2021-22 = $5.0m; 2022-23 = $5.0m In 2021-22 if you realize you have an extra $5.0m of cap space to spare, you may re-allocate the 2022-23 buy-out cost to your 2021-22 books to relieve yourself of the $5.0m cap hit in 2022-23 Compliance Buy-Out: (For NEW GM's)Any new GM to the league (2021-2022 season and later) will be awarded one compliance buy-out upon taking control of their franchise (no cap hit penalty) Waivers:Teams can send up to 3 players to the minors who would not otherwise qualify (over 31 games played) Waivers happen in the NHL, and in PDH they are an opportunity to give teams who have minor league roster spots to house an unproductive and/or overpaid player without having to buy him out. If you would like to send a player to the minors, he must clear a 48-hour waiver wire period. During this 48-hour window, any team may put in a waiver claim. If claimed, the claiming team would get the player at a reduced cap hit of 20% off of the contract value (80% of the contract). The original team who placed the player on waivers would still be responsible for paying the remaining 20%. If the player goes unclaimed, you can then send the player to minors. While in the minors, your team may receive a slight cap hit reduction, as follows (same as in the NHL): "If a player has a Cap Hit greater than the Buried Threshold: If they are sent to Minors, the team's Cap Hit is (the player Cap Hit - Buried Threshold) The Buried Threshold is $1.1m
If a player with a Cap Hit less than the Buried Threshold is sent down, their full Cap Hit no longer counts on the Team's total cap hit"Example:C Sidney Crosby, $8.7m (2024-2025) You would like to send Crosby to the minors because he is under-performing, but you do not want to buy him out in the event he returns to form. He would first have to clear waivers. Scenario A:He is claimed off waivers. The claiming team assumes Crosby's full contract, but at 80% of his current salary. His contract on the claiming team becomes: C Sidney Crosby, $7.0m (2024-2025) Your team, who put Crosby on waivers, is still responsible for paying the other 20% for the duration of Crosby's contract: $1.7m per year (2024-2025). This would show up under "Contract Buy-Outs and Cash Exchanges" on your roster Scenario B:He goes unclaimed. Crosby can be placed on your Minor League Roster (you must have roster space or clear a roster spot) His cap hit against your team's cap would be Cap Hit - Buried Threshold (8.7 - 1.1), so $7.6m. You must make a separate post stating your are placing 'Player A' on waivers. This begins the 48-hour waiver window. Mods will edit the post to reflect when the waiver window closes. Waiver priority is determined by league standings at the time the waiver claim widow closes. The team in last place when the waiver claim window closes has highest priority. The priority list follows from worst to first in the standings. In the off-season, the final standings from the prior season will determine waiver priority order. Waived players may be called back up to your NHL roster at any time. Their contract reverts to the original, full cap hit (you must have the sufficient cap space). There are no re-entry waivers - the player will immediately be placed onto your NHL roster. * Players on 35-plus contracts ARE NOT eligible for waivers. Trading Waived Players:As per the NHL, if multiple teams put in a waiver claim on a player, the team who wins the waiver clam cannot immediately freely trade him. The player would first have to be offered to the other teams who put in a waiver claim (they would get him for free at his current contract, no trade would have to be completed): For example, if a player is placed on waivers and three team place a claim on him. The team lowest in the standings gets first dibs. If they then decide to trade the player, he would first have to be passed on by the other two teams. If one of those other two teams places a claim, the player would be theirs. If not, he can be traded If there was only one team who placed a waiver claim in the first place, they would be able to trade the player freely Retired Players:Any player who retires from the NHL has his contract and cap hit nullified from your roster, UNLESS: - You signed the player in FA to a multi-year contract and he was 35+ years of age at the time of signing (A 35-plus contract - see below) - If your player on a [35+] contract retires, his remaining contract and cap him remain in full What is a 35-plus Contract?Any player signed in PDH Free Agency to a multi-year contract who is 35+ years of age at the time of signing In PDH, this player will assume a 35+ contract, shown as follows: Zdeno Chara, $6.5m (2023-2024) [35+] Our rules for Waivers and Retirement for 35+ contracts will not include any players not signed in PDH FA

Trading Rules:
Post your trades on the Transactions board
- Both parties should include a short explanation of their reasoning behind the trade
- All trades must involve all parties sending at least 1 player/pick to another team (ie. No trades purely for cap space are allowed)
- Only draft picks of current season plus the following season are available to be traded (see bottom of rosters for available picks)
Trade Processing: - Given that this is a FREE league, we will not be implementing a trade committee to vote on trades, as is customary for a lot of leagues on this site - We are under the belief that everyone in this league are adults, and therefore can make their own personal decisions about their franchises - Trade threads will be locked once both parties post, confirm, and give reasons to their trade (to avoid league members from commenting publicly on the trade thread)
The ONLY circumstances where trades may come into question, are: (1) Commissioners agree, beyond a reasonable doubt, that a trade is so severely lopsided or there is clear collusion between 2 people that it needs to be voided (2) Most likely in conjunction with (1), but if enough league members privately message the commissioners to voice their complaints (with valid reasons), the trade will go under review (potentially resulting in an anonymous poll for votes)
This will ultimately help with processing time of trades, versus waiting 48-hours for league votes Generally speaking, most people like their trades to be processed in a timely manner instead of waiting 2+ days
Retained Salary in Trades
Cash exchange (retaining salary) on contracts is allowed
However, no more than 50% of a player's per-year salary may be paid for in each year (same as in the NHL)
Example: A player on a 3-year, $10.0m per year contract such as D Bobby Orr, $10.0m (2022-2023) can have up to half of his per-year salary paid for, for 1, 2 or 3 years. - Maximum retained salary in each of the 3 years is $5.0m per year Salary Split Examples: - Split evenly across 3 years: $5.0m in year 1, $5.0m in year 2, $5.0m in year 3 - Back loaded: $0m in year 1, $2.5m in year 2, $5.0m in year 3 - Front loaded: $5.0m in year 1, $3.0m in year 2, $0 in year 3
*Remember, only 50% of salary can be retained per year of any contract You cannot allocate say $15m all in one year using the example above. That would be 50% of total contract value
* Cash paid on a player will follow that player in future trades ** If a player already has 50% of his salary paid for and is traded again, he CANNOT have any more of his salary paid for by a different team. The max amount of salary that can be paid for is 50%
Trade Deadline: See Important Dates thread on the main PDH homepage.
Note: Trades must be posted AND confirmed by all parties involved before the trade deadline, otherwise it is not accepted. Sorry, but there will be no exceptions. (So, give yourselves time to agree to and post the trade, and the other team(s) must confirm the trade before the deadline too. Best to set your trade deadline 10-minutes before the actual deadline if you're in last minute trade talks!)

Contract Extensions Only players whose contracts have expired may be extended (ie. You cannot extend a player in the 3rd or 4th year of a 5 year contract)
Extension Period: You may only extend a player's contract during the designated extension period(s) This will be in the off-season, after PDH playoffs and before the PDH Rookie Draft
How to do Extensions: Look up the player's rank from each of the past 2 seasons (On Fantrax, players will be sorted by "Score") Their highest rank will be used to calculate their extension cost Find the corresponding dollar amount for the player at his position, listed below *If a player has multiple eligibility positions at time of re-sign (ie. C,RW or LW/RW) you take the highest dollar amount for the re-sign value (It may, or may not be the highest rank number, as each position has different re-sign values)
Example of Posting a Re-Sign: C Evgeny Kuznetsov 2018-19 Rank: 39 2019-20 Rank: 63 Highest Rank = 39th - > $5.7m re-sign value $5.7m re-sign per year for 2, 3, 4, or 5 years (up to GM)
Examples of Dual-Eligible Re-Sign Posts: LW/RW Patrik Laine 2018-19 LW Rank: 32nd 2019-20 LW Rank: 18th Highest Rank = 18th - > $6.0m re-sign value 2018-19 RW Rank: 28nd 2019-20 RW Rank: 12th Highest Rank = 12th - > $6.9m re-sign value $6.9m re-sign per year for 3, 4, or 5 years (up to GM)
Contract Limits for Extensions Contract extensions have minimum contract lengths, as well as maximum lengths There is added flexibility versus Free Agency contracts, and numbers somewhat mimic how NHL re-signs would go depending on age of player
Salary Per Year - Min & Max Years $6.5m+ - 3 to 5 years $5 to $6.4m - 2 to 5 years $3.5 to $4.9m - 2 to 4 years $2 to $3.4m - 1 to 3 years $0.5 to $1.9m - 1 to 2 years
Extension Values: - Extension values are based on real-life NHL cap hits, with one exception: - D values are at a 10% reduction versus real-life contracts, due to the fact that in PDH we have 6 D slots and 3 each of C,LW,RW. Flex spots can be any skater so those are not factored in, although one could actually start 9 D, furthering the argument for a slight reduction in D re-sign values. - All values have been rounded down where applicable: (ie. Contracts that are $5,850,000 are now $5,800,000; Contracts that are $4,687,687 are now $4,600,000) - Values will be updated yearly to reflect the most current contracts

Free Agency Rules:
Each player is auctioned in a separate thread on our ProFSL Transactions board, and may be started by anyone
The minimum starting bid on any player is $0.5m
A bid on a player is considered final when it has been open for 48 hours
If you could please post the player's main position and the team he is on, that would be much appreciated. Examples: C - Sidney Crosby - PIT D - Seth Jones - CBJ G - Carey Price - MTL
Bidding on a player is in the form of total contract value The number of years does not need to be listed until the bid is won The resulting per-year salary will be the final bid divided by number of years, always rounded up to the next even $0.1m (ie. A winning bid that divides as 3.23 would become $3.3m per year)
Minimum Bid Raises for FA's: When bidding, you must up the previous bid by at least the minimum bid raise of $0.2m
Players Eligible for FA: All players are available to be bid on in Free Agency
Rookie Player Bidding (Players with 0-30 NHL Games Played) - You cannot bid on players who are eligible for upcoming NHL Entry Drafts (ie. You can't bid on 16-year old phenoms) - This feature will mostly be used following our PDH Rookie Draft where teams can bid on players who went un-drafted - There will be an early Rookie FA Deadline to prevent teams from bidding on UDFA NCAA player who end up signing on with NHL teams later in the season - these players would be eligible for the PDH Rookie Draft (See important dates for deadlines) - Rookie Contract FA's will assume a min. salary ($0.5m) plus whatever signing bonus is bid with them
How to Bid on Rookie Players: - Bidding will be done in the form of a base Rookie Contract (RC) plus a signing bonus - Signing bonus will count against your cap, and will be able to be split over 2 years - Remember that RC's are not allowed on NHL Rosters if the player isn't actually in the NHL; This in effect negates the need for people to bid on a RC eligible player under normal FA terms, as they wouldn't be eligible for the NHL Roster - Upon winning a RC player, their contract will look like: D Joe Schmoe, $0.5m (R) Examples of how to bid on RC Players: D - Lumbering Pylon - TOR RC
G - Stone Woll - MTL RC + $4m
Free Agency Contract Limits: Free agent contracts have a max number of years that can be offered, based on per-year salary:
Salary Per Year - Max Years $6.0m or more - 5 years $4.0m to $5.9m - 4 years $2.0m to $3.9m - 3 years $0.5m to $1.9m - 2 years
You have 48 hours to post/confirm the contract for your player If you don't, the player will be offered to the next highest bidder. If that GM does not want the player, it will go to the 3rd highest bidder. If that GM does not want the player, he gets released back into free agency.
Rescinding Free Agency Bids: If you win the bid/player, and after 48 hours (or sooner) you decide you do not want to sign that player for the contract you posted for whatever reason (no reason needs to be given), you can simply just state you don't want to sign that player anymore. That player would then be offered to the next GM who bid on him at a 25% discount off their original bid (the 2nd highest bid). If he doesn't want that player or can't afford him any longer, the 3rd highest bid will be offered with the same discount. After that, player is released back to FA.
This discount is due to the cap space presumably used to go after other FA's in lieu of not continuing to bid on this FA. It is also due to the time elapsed (36 hours, plus up to another 48 hours - so 2-4 days), which again, presumably that cap has been used to bid on and possibly win other FA's. It wouldn't be fair to have to come up with the same amount of cap your originally bid on which you thought was lost and gone for, for 3-4 days.
Under no circumstances can you rescind a bid on an active thread (unless it is within 5 minutes or so of the initial post, and an honest mistake was made). This seems like an obvious rule, but reason being you could go and use the cap you save from rescinding your offer to go and bid on another player.
If you win a FA that puts you over the roster and/or salary cap limit: You have to post who you're going to drop or buy-out within 48-hours of winning the player (after player is stickied by a Mod). Same 48-hour rule applies - you have 48 hours to decide who your drop is and to post the contract for the new player. If not, the FA goes to the 2nd and then (if necessary) the 3rd highest bidder as explained above. After that, back to the FA pool. Remember: Any players making under $1m per year are FREE drops (no buy-out penalty).
In order to prevent late min. bids, or bidding just for the heck of it...the following must be followed:
#1 In the last 6 hours if you haven't previously bid on that player, you may NOT bid on him
If you have bid on that player in the thread previously you can still make another bid. Remember, it this is only in effect once the bid thread has been open for 42 hours. This is just for the last 6 hours.
#2 In the last 6 hours, the minimum bid increase is $1m. Period. Doesn't matter if the current winning bid is $2m or $35m. We don't want people dragging on a FA player thread (especially if it is in its last few hours) by just putting in $0.2m bids to keep the thread going. $1m in the last 6 hours means you're serious about the player - you should be serious about the player anyways if you had already put a bid on him to be eligible to bid in the last 6 hours!
Free Agent Discount
A 5% discount will be awarded on any free agents won who were previously on the same team last season. * The player must have been on your roster at the end of the year (this wouldn't apply to a player you trade for on an expiring contract at the start of the off-season, before FA starts) Example: You don't want to re-sign a player for $8.5m per year, and think he would go for cheaper in FA. You win the player with a bid that works out to $7m per year. Add the 5% discount and you get him for $6.7m per year (A small incentive, similar-ish to real-life if a FA takes a 'home-town' discount to re-sign with the same team, or if the player tests FA but ends up signing with his original team in the end. We obviously can't offer a discount for all expiring players on re-signs, so this is as close as it gets).

Restricted Free Agency (RFA):
Restricted Free Agency will happen before normal Free Agency. Not after, and not simultaneously.
*Note: If you own an RFA and they have signed a real-life contract extension, you can choose to match that extension and that becomes their contract in our league. Example: D Quinn Hughes is in the last year of his rookie contract. If he signs an extension during the 2020-2021 season, the owner of VAN can choose to take the real-life contract extension and implement it in PDH. The VAN owner can also choose to let Hughes go to RFA and either match the highest offer or take the draft pick compensation in lieu
**Note: An RFA List on the Transaction board will be posted after the season begins. If RFA's sign in real-life, contract options will be listed on that board and teams have until the RFA-match deadline whether or not they want to match that real-life contract.
All RFA's who aren't matched, or who don't receive a real-life offer by our RFA-match deadline will become an RFA in our league.
Restricted Free Agency Rules:
RFA rules will be the exact same as regular FA rules, with a few differences (Please Read):
You must have the necessary draft pick compensation to make a bid (See below)
Draft Pick Compensation: (Actual NHL Compensation Ranges as of Oct.2020) $1.4m or below = None $1.5m to $2.1m = Third Round $2.2m to $4.2m = Second Round $4.3m to $6.3m = First Round & Third Round $6.4m to $8.4m = First Round, Second Round, and Third Round $8.5m to $10.5m = Two First Rounds, Second Round, and Third Round Over $10.5m = Four First Rounds
*Dollar amounts are per-year salaries ** This is the only instance where draft picks over 2 years away are able to be moved(For over $10.5m per year, 4 years worth of picks are required)
The winning team on all RFA bids will 1st have to specify contract years. E.g. $20m winning bid can look as follow with compensation impact:
4 years at $5m = First Round & Third Round 3 years at $6.7m = First Round, Second Round, and Third Round 2 years at $10m = Two First Rounds, Second Round, and Third Round 1 year at $20 = Four First Rounds
Then...
The owner of the RFA has 96 hours (4 Days) to decide if they will match the contract offer, or if they will take the draft pick compensation associated with the per-year contract value
If the owner does not respond, the RFA will be automatically rewarded to the winning bidder, and the owner of the RFA will be awarded the compensatory draft pick attached to the contract value
You MUST have the necessary draft picks available in order to make ALL of your RFA bids
The owner of the RFA gets to choose ANY of your draft picks available Example: If you have three 1st round draft picks in the summer's draft, plus one 1st round draft pick in next year's draft, the owner of the RFA can choose any of your 3 picks in this year's draft, or choose to take next year's 1st round pick. The choice is theirs, not yours
Rescinding Free Agency Bids: There will be no rescinding of RFA bids. If you win the RFA, it is up to the owner of that RFA whether you get that player and pay the compensation, or if they match the bid. You cannot back out of your winning RFA bid
RFA Bids and Cap Space: This will be slightly different from regular FA, due to the uncertainty of if the owner of the RFA will match the bid or not. During RFA, you will be allowed to bid on RFA's and go up to over $10m of your available cap (Keep in mind you have to have the necessary draft pick compensation for all of your RFA bids) However, if you end up with all the RFA's you bid on, you will have to find a way to get under the cap by the deadline (prior to the next season). And definitely can't bid on any normal FA's as you wouldn't have cap
To even the playing field: The owner of that RFA can also go over $10m of their available cap to match any winning contract. This is so bidding GM's can't simply out-price the owner of an RFA by bidding up player over what the owner of that team has in cap. The owner of the RFA can match the bid and then trade that player, or match the bid and keep the player, and then make additional moves to get under cap by the start of the next season

Basic Draft Rules:Any player with fewer than 31 games is eligible to be draftedClarification: Any player eligible to be on an NHL Roster (No players who are still eligible for upcoming NHL Entry Drafts can be drafted in PDH) Determining Draft Order:The first 8 picks (non-playoff teams) in the PDH Rookie Draft will be determined by a weighted draft lottery The draft weights will be as follows: 16th Place Team : 30% 15th Place Team: 25% 14th Place Team: 20% 13th Place Team: 10% 12th Place Team: 6% 11th Place Team: 4% 10th Place Team: 3% 9th Place Team: 2% The remaining 8 picks will be determined as teams exit the playoff rounds: (Wildcard Round losers receive picks 10 and 9; Round 2 losers receive picks 8, 7, 6 and 5, etc.)The team with the worst record in the regular season standings gets the higher pick for each round of playoff elimination One of these sites will be used for the lottery randomizer (both sites are the same thing): https://www.fantasydraftlottery.com/https://www.draftpicklottery.com/A screenshot will be posted to reveal the draft order We will use a 12-hour clock for Rounds 1 and 2Example: So if the draft starts at 10am EST, the first GM has until 10pm EST to make their selection. Once that pick is made, the 12-hour clock starts for the next GM - If pick 1 is made at 11:30am EST, the next GM has until 11:30pm EST to make their selectionWe will use a 6-hour clock for Rounds 3 to 7Clock Stoppage Overnight:We will stop the 12-hour and 6-hour clock from running through the night - we all have lives, families, etc here. From 12:00am EST to 6:00am EST we will not count those 6 hours towards the draft pick clock...It's not that you can't make your pick during that time, it's more-so a 6-hour freeze that doesn't count towards your 'OTC' time Once your pick is made, it would be a nice courtesy to Personal Message the next GM in line (or next 2-3 even) to let them know they are OTCWe will send out a mass PM to the league when the draft starts - perhaps just "Reply All" to that PM once your pick is made, then everyone in the league knows where the draft is at If you miss a pick or the clock runs out on your pick:Your pick will be skipped You may make up your pick at any time before the end of the draft concludes Rookie Salaries: Based on which round they were selected in the PDH Rookie Draft: Round 1: $0.9m per year Round 2: $0.9m per year Round 3: $0.8m per year Round 4: $0.8m per year Round 5: $0.6m per year Round 6: $0.6m per year Round 7: $0.5m per year All rookies will be assigned a Rookie Contract (R) and be placed on your Minor League Roster

Question - Are we doing the draft lottery, or are we just going by reverse standings?
Not sure there was a clear decision made.
(Not that it matters to me as I don't own my 1st Rounder)...But I always choke in playoffs anyways, so the lottery would probably still give my Canucks the 4th to 6th pick, haha.
