One other note:  I haven't loaded rosters yet.  Once I do you'll need to sort by All Players rather than All Available Players to get the correct ranks.

Just a note:  Remember when you're looking up ranks for forwards to sort them by their position, LW, RW or C.  We're using Fantrax's eligibility rules for positions.  So even though a guy like Seguin played a lot of wing last year he is considered a C by Fantrax and should be extended as such.

Also if a player is eligible for multiple positions you'll need to find his highest rank amongst all eligible positions.  This is the rank value he will extend at.

I will post a few examples of extensions to help you guys figure this out.  Here's the first:

Ok, here's how it works, Lidstrom is a good example: 

The rankings next to the values correlate to our league scoring rankings.  So to look up a player go to our league on Fantrax then to Players and sort by Fpts (it should be sorted by Fpts by default).  You need to check both the 10/11 ranks and the 09/10 ranks.  Lidstrom ranks 6th amongst D players in 10/11 and 10th in 09/10.  The higher ranking is 6th and this is what will be used.  Now go to the extension values under Defensive players and look up the 6th rank player.  The extension value is $6.4M.  Lidstrom's actual contract is for $6.2M so his extension in DNHL is quite accurate.  It won't always be perfect but should generally be in the ballpark. 

Now you decide on his contract length.  The contract limits are as follows:

<= $1.4m, 2 years
$1.5m - $5.4m, 3 years
$5.5m - $7.9m, 4 years
>=$8m, 5 years (the overall limit)

So Lidstrom can be signed to a 1, 2, 3 or 4 year deal.  He cannot be signed to a 5 year deal as the yearly salary has to exceed $7.9M to qualify for a 5 year deal. 

The $6.4M extension is the yearly value.  So no matter how many years you sign him he will earn $6.4M per year, not that amount divided by the number of years.  This might be confusing as compared to free agent bidding where all bids are for total contract value.  If you win a free agent bid at $6.4M you can sign the player to: 1y @ $6.4, 2y @ $3.2 or 3y @ $2.1.  A $6.4M FA bid cannot be broken down to a 4 year since a 4 year deal needs to exceed $5.4M per year.

Make sense?

The current scoring is a bit lopsided, the best goalies are earning twice as many fantasy points as the best forwards.  I changed things around a bit and I think it's a lot more balanced:

Skaters
Plus/minus: 1
Assists: 2
Goals: 4
Hits per Game: 0.25
Penalties in Minutes: -0.1
Shots on Goal: 0.25

Goalies
Goals Against: -1
Losses: -1
Shutouts: 2
Saves: 0.25
Wins: 2
