Okay guys, today's the last day of endorsement signings. I've updated the list to reflect everyone's posts but I'd appreciate it if everyone could check the list for their team to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.

Also, I'm still waiting on the Wild to update their list to limit their team/individual endorsements to two. Thanks again Ville for pointing that out...

QUESTION: Why do the endorsements for defenceman scoring payout less than for forwards. SInce these awards have been around there are is only 1 or 2 dmen each season that reach these targets yet there are nearly 10 forwards that hit 40+ goals (last year was lower than usual with 6) and yet the payout is higher for the forwards.

It's because you have Lidstrom, and you already have enough money.

Hey Matt, maybe we should sticky this for future uses?

 

[HFNHL Commish]

Consider it done!

 

[MatthewFlames]

So, the 42 game mark is fast approaching, and for those of us who would like to pull out of our deals to get the 50% cost back, should we post that here or somewhere else?

 

[Chuzwazza]

Fair enough call matt....and just for the record, with all the crappy goaltending numbers that have come up this year, Even though I have no goalie endorsements, might I suuggest we set the bar at top 5 as well as the 91% clause etc. Like we do with the PP etc. I don't think anybody expected a league avg. save % of about .895. Makes .910 look almost unattainable atm. if anyone wants to argue with me that's fine, but if more than 5 guys make .910 then it doesn't matter having the extra clause in there anyway does it?

If you mean "instead of" the 91% business, then I think its not a bad idea. It was going to be touch and go for me with Brodeur (before the trade), and that's with the league's second-lowest gaa.

Which reminds me: with all due respect to Ed Belfour, the Jackets hereby withdraw from the Home Depot and Tim Hortons endorsements.

 

[MatthewFlames]

Calgary withdraws from Ford Motor Company. But only because they need the 750K to stay afloat. LOL. Oh well....

The Florida Panthers pull out of the Nike Merchandise deal

Urgent question that I need answered regarding the Mountain Dew endorsement...what qualifies as a player being nominated for the Hobey Baker Award?

Does the player need to be on the short list of 10? Or does he need to be on the final list of 3?

 

[SPG]

Endorsement question - Hopefully someone can clarify...

I assume that WHL Playoff MVP falls under the category I have bolded below for the Mountain Dew endorsement. Can someone confirm this? Thanks.

Looks pretty cut-and-dried to me - congratulations!

What about the Memorial Cup MVP? It's not really "MVP in a CHL league", more like "MVP of all CHL leagues"..

Well I guess it would be an MVP for someone who is in a CHL league, so there you go

Maybe Keetley will take that one too

Right... kind of how everyone looks down on the Conn Smythe because it's not the Hart, right?

 

[Dryden]

Umm shouldn't we submit 2007-08 endorsements in soon? Or at least the Mountain Dew endorsement?
