anybody want to do winner predictions, 1 vote cant vote for yourself??

I'd go with Anaheim.  They have crazy good top tier guys at all positions and so many goalies.

Right now I cannot drop 1 player and activate Tony Lydman when he gets healthy.
Really don't want to drop a few.
What are my options?
Can I give Toni Lydman away with cash making it possible for someone to afford his contract?
Can I sell a player(s) for cash?
What if I drop someone - he clears waivers - I am still on the hook.
What is the time frame for me to activate him?
Can I leave him on injured reserve?

Yes, you can trade Lydman for any combination of cash, prospects or players or you can sell other players for cash or cheaper players.  If you want Lydman back in your lineup when he's healthy, which should be soon, you'll have to make something work to free up the cap space.  If you drop a player and he is claimed by another team you will only be responsible for half of that contract, but if he clears waivers you will be on the hook for the full amount until the contract expires. 

There is no timeframe per se, but at the end of the year if a player on your LTIR is healthy he will be removed from LTIR at that point.  So, theoretically you can let him rot on your LTIR for the entire 11/12 campaign.  This differs from how the NHL handles it where teams have to activate players once they're physically able to play again, but I thought forcing players back from IR immediately would hamper our cap situations too much.  For our purposes LTIR is a cap relief tool and I wanted teams to be able to use the cash from their injured players contracts and not have to worry about trading or dropping to get under the cap once a player is healthy. 

Our LTIR is not intended for players who are day to day or minor injuries.  Like the NHL it's intended for players who will be out an extended period of time (10 games or 24 days). 

I realize I didn't flesh any of this out in the rules, I'll do that now.

so on Fantrax are we free to call up and demote players from the minors as needed?  or do they have to be on our dynasty active roster to be used?

They should be on your official active roster.  To use them you'll need to post in the transaction board calling them up then you can add them to your active roster on Fantrax.

Extension?

So I could extend Spacek from one to two years and decrease what I owe him this year?

Rankings last 2 years ...91 - 122    = 2.9M (12-13)

No if you extend during a contract the new contract must be for no less and no shorter than the current contract.

lets say i put a claim on turris, his current salary is 1.6 million, so i would get him for 800k a year, right? 

Now lets say I decided I dont want him and drop/waive him,  would I be 1) responsible for his salary because the original is 1.6 million or 2)would I be able to drop him without penalty since I am only paying him 800k a year?

No, per the rule on releasing players picked up on waivers:

How is our playoffs going to work,  will it be purely based off of the record or our place in our divisions?
