Better late than never! The time has come for year 8 of my mock drafts. This is usually a three-week commitment that requires you to check the thread almost daily. Do not sign up if you cannot commit to this. Two auto's and you will be relieved of your duties as GM.
Phase One
Once all teams are filled, I will lock in the standings as of that date. Then, I will conduct and announce the results of the draft lottery.
Phase Two
There will be a 48(ish)-hour trading period. The focus here is for teams to make Expansion Draft trades with Seattle, however teams can trade with anyone during this time.
At the conclusion of the trading period, Expansion Draft protected lists must be finalized and posted on the thread.
Phase Three
Seattle will conduct and post the results of the 2021 Expansion Draft.
Phase Four
We will have a truncated (3-round) 2021 NHL Entry Draft. Of course, trading will be allowed again.
Picks: The draft clock will run from 8 a.m. to Midnight ET. Each pick will be 4-hours long. Once time is up on a pick, anyone can auto the pick. We auto 3 North Americans, then 1 European, from NHL Central Scouting's Final Rankings list. Goaltenders are NOT auto'd. Before any more picks are made, the GM can change the auto pick and not be charged with an auto. However, all auto picks are final once the next pick is made. No exceptions.
NOTE: All teams must have a minimum of FOUR and a maximum of TWELVE picks in any draft. The ONLY exception to this rule is if a real-life team currently holds fewer than four or more than twelve.
Phase Five
You may NOT sign any pending UFA's (this includes Group 6 UFA's). Following the draft, there will be a UFA signing period. All UFA's are assumed to want to test free agency (this does not mean they won't re-sign with their old team). I will act as Universal Player Agent and weigh the role and salary offered from each team.
The Salary Cap will have a max of $81.5M and a floor of $60.2M.
NOTE: No trade can involve more than FIVE pieces on a side, or EIGHT pieces total. Also, if any player gets traded who absolutely wouldn't be (i.e. McDavid), the deal also gets vetoed automatically. Either GM can post the trade on the thread, but I need the other to confirm it. If the trade is borderline veto-worthy, PLEASE seek my approval first.
Traded picks are limited to 2021, 2022, and 2023.
Rosters: Please post your initial roster, and post an updated version when a trade is made. Always include Cap status. When putting a roster in to calculate cap status, you must include AT LEAST 22 PLAYERS.
After you pick, please PM the next GM to notify them! And POST THIS WITH YOUR PICK!!! If you cannot PM for whatever reason (i.e. on a phone), ASK SOMEONE TO PM in your post.
Please, do not announce trades until all teams have a GM.
