Why are 13/14 contracts being extended now? Did the rules change while I was away?

[PigsRule]

Read some conversation about the extensions. If I now extend a contract that expires after the up and coming season 13-14 using previous two years' stats. Shouldn't the extension take place after the season and not straight away?
How will this be shown in the roster page?

Edit: or is it really so that this is a loophole that can be used? Extension replaces the current contract's last year?

once contracts roll-over extensions are available for the players in the final yr of their deal.

and yes, you can extend using the previous 2 year's stats.

however, once the NHL regular season starts teams much wait until the 15th day of the season to submit extensions using current & previous year's stats.

i suppose it is a "loophole" or "cap management tool" in a deep 30-team league and given the cap ceiling is much lower at 64.3 this year, it will be to the everyone's advantage to verify if they can shave a few dollars off their current roster's salaries.

Just fielded a question from the field. Do teams use the salary cap IRL of their team or do teams in Franchise NHL use a flat cap across the league?

So if the real-life Nashville Predators and Ottawa Senators have an in-house imposed ceiling that's 20% lower than the league cap figure, does the Franchise NHL team also have to live with that restriction?

NO!

In Franchise NHL all teams must respect the same salary cap ceiling and floor. Those cap limits are set and mirror the NHL's cap numbers annually.

That is correct.
Thanks for addressing that Q. :toast:

Can we post postdated trades.

Say I make a trade now during the no trade period can the trade stay on the board or are ou guys going to slap an INVALID tag on it and file it away?

Yeah Im bubbling with questions today.

Yes. Go ahead. Understand they won't get processed and potentially not voted on until after the season.

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

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