NWHL Rules & Scoring
ROSTERS
No less than 22 players and no more than 26 total players can be on a single roster at any time.
No less than 2 goalies and no more than 3 goalies can be on a single roster at any time.
No less than 13F/7D can be on a single roster at any time.
All players will count towards scoring however only the top 12F/6D/2G will count towards the final total. This means you have an "active" roster of 20 players and a "reserve" roster of up to 6 players.
No salary cap. How great a team can you build regardless of how much a player is paid?
No injury or holdout changes allowed. Once you draft a player you own him until the off season or unless you drop the player (see player drop and waiver claims rules).
TRADES
Trade proposals must be sent by PM or EM to me and will be approved by me as league commissioner once both parties respond.
However if 75% of the managers dissent within 48 hours of trade the trade is overturned.
I will not be involved in approving any trades of team(s) I manage and the 75% rule will apply.
Cannot trade between 2 teams run by the same GM.
Approved trades are effective as of trade request date when both parties send in the request.
Future points will be counted but current points are not moved. Current points stay with the original team.
Future draft picks can be traded but you must own your pick. A max of 2 future draft picks can be traded for or away in any draft year.
Trading deadline is at midnight Mountain time the day after the NHL trade deadline. (Gives players a chance to see who has been traded in the NHL)
Trading deadline expires after the NHL regular season ends.
PLAYER DROPS
You can drop any players in season you want so long as you do not go below roster minimums (22 players) and position minimums (13F/7D/2G) and no drops after the trade deadline.
Dropped players then become Free Agents (see rules on Free Agents below)
It is up to teams to watch the threads for drops and free agents.
Players dropped cannot be picked up by a team owned by the same person.
Unclaimed players return to the player pool and are available for the next player draft.
FREE AGENTS
Any player not drafted can be claimed by any other team at any time provided:
1. The team is not owned by the same owner as the team who dropped the player (GMs with 2 teams)
2. The team does not exceed the roster limit of 26 players.
3. An NHL team owns the rights to the player or the player is on a PTO.
4. The commissioner has the final say on free agent eligibility.
Free Agent pickups are first come first served by posting in this thread AND by PM or EM to league commissioner (me).
A team has a maximum of 4 free agent pickups throughout the season.
Free agents can be claimed beginning Oct 4 after the NHL season has started.
The NHL trade deadline date will serve as the final date a free agent can be picked up.
The team starts to count points from the player from when he was signed. Current points do not move.
You can drop any number of players once the season ends. Those players go back into the draft pool as free agents.
NEW TEAMS
Each manager can own or manage up to 2 teams in one season.
The league will operate with the existing 21 teams total.
I will expand the league when each team owner is down to 1 team or there is a large demand for new teams.
Current available teams are:
NONE
If anyone drops a team and that team is not picked up by a new team owner it will remain as OPEN and I will do any transactions for the team until such a time the team is picked up by a new owner.
