Carl's First GM Game Discussion Thread

[Carl182]

Game infos

In this GM Game you will be the GM of a team as of today's date, December 23 2020.

Pre-season
In the pre-season you will be able to buy out players, trade players, sign UFAs still available and offer sheet remaining unsigned RFAs.

UFA: All remaining UFAs are available for your teams to sign. You can send me a list of players you would like to sign in order with the offers. If your team has interest in a player but your team needs to clear cap/contract you can send a list of players you have interests in, we will wait a bit more before giving those players contract.

RFA: All remaining RFA are available for your teams to offersheet (you can do a "list" like for the UFAs).

Trades: All NMC/NTC must be respected. If the player has a minimal NTC, please send me a message (before you trade him) with the destination you want to trade the player to make sure we keep the game as realistic as possible.
You can't trade any UFAs your team signed in the off-season or in the game.
Either GM can post the trade on the thread, but I need the other to confirm it.
If you have more than one team, you can trade between them, send the trade before posting it to @Dichow Stopper, @OB5 and @SJSharks39, they will review the trade.
All teams are limited to a maximum of 3 retained salary contracts per season.
Teams cannot retain an aggregate amount of more than 15 percent of the Salary Cap Upper Limit.
Players’ contracts are limited to 2 retained salary transactions per contract.

Season
Then the regular season, the remainings RFA's are not allowed to sign until next off-season. You can still sign unsigned UFAs and you can now sign your upcoming UFAs. Trades are still available but no more buyouts.

Playoffs
We will vote for the 16 teams making the playoffs, then vote for the winner of each round until we have the Stanley Cup.

2021 Off-Season And Expansion Draft
We will present our protection list and someone playing Seattle will do the expansion. Then the UFA frenzy!

Awards
We will vote for Best Asset Manager, Best Trader, Best Rebuilder and Team Most Improve.

Rosters
Your final roster must include at least 20 players and respect the cap. As much as possible, post and update your roster and cap situation after each trade, signing or modifictaion to make trades easier. The NHL has reported that the 2020-21 salary cap will be $81.5M and the floor will be $60.2M. Traded picks are limited to 2021, 2022 and 2023.

You are more than welcome to make press conferences about your transactions, signatures,…
