Ever Forward
FA GAME #8League Commissioners- IslesRock4, RousselRising, T_Cage
These three people oversee the entire game's operations. They each hold the same rank, nobody outranks the other. They may choose to change the rules or guidelines in the game as they see needed. They may elect to seize control of any position in the game (and appoint another when necessary) that is not being managed properly, whether it be to inactivity or other reasons. They have complete control of the game. No whining about their decisions. The game goes as they say.
Game Outline
- Game begins when all teams are filled, teams may trade players and begin GM duties
- We don't have a timeline yet
Trade Committee process - T_Cage
He will not only keep track of all trades, but for the most part he is the trade committee. In order for a trade to be finalized, it must be sent to him first. If he feels it is too one-sided or unrealistic, he'll take it to the rest of the trade committee, which is the three commishioners. If he does not reply to a trade request in 12 hours or more, then the teams in the trade can send the other trade committee members a message. - will keep track of all trades and transactions in a post on the first page, and once he puts it there, that means it's final.
Buyouts/Waivers
Each GM will be allowed to pursue the buyout option on up to one player on his roster. To buyout a player, you must first put them on waivers. After 24 hours, if the player is not picked up, you can buy the player out, or you can bring them back through re-entry waivers, in hopes of another GM claiming the player, which would count only half of the players salary against the cap. Teams will be allowed to send 1 veteran down in the minors after this players clear waivers but there will be restrictions.
Here they are:
-Teams cannot send down a veteran that has more than 2 years to his contract.
-Teams cannot send down a veteran they signed in this game.
You can continue to waive players if you want to but then you will either have to buy them out or keep them on your roster.
NTCs and NMCs
Every GM's worst nightmare...beware! nhlscap.com has this list of players who fall in these categories. Trades involving a player with a NTC/NMC will be taken very seriously in this game. Each will be reviewed by the three league commissioners and a decision will be made. The rule will be if a player has a NTC or NMC than he will not go anywhere. Exceptions will be rare.
Teams that are looking to trade players on their roster who have a LNTC/NTC/NMC needs to have a talk with a commishioner before anything happens. Get a list of teams your player would agree to be traded to and if the player has a full NTC or NMC, that list is zero teams and so be it.
If you trade a player that has any of those clauses without consulting a commishioner prior to the trade, it could be automatically rejected by the committee.
WAIVERS THREAD
In this game we will have a thread for waivers. A GM who wants to place a player on waivers will announce it in the waivers thread. The time stamp of the post will determine when the 24 hours begins. If a team wants to place a claim on the player, they will indicate their interest by posting a request to claim in that thread. Waiver claims will always be determined by whatever the real NHL standings are at the time of the claim.
So for example: say the Boston GM waived Zdeno Chara. The Boston GM would post that he is waiving the player in the waiver thread. And say, 15 teams claimed him...but which one is furthest down the standings in the NHL right now? That team gets him.
Retirements/ LTIR
If you want one of your players to retire or be place on long term injury, this will also be handled by the trade committee. Same way we approve trades or not. You will need 2 approvals to make it official.
If a player is placed on LTIR, they still count against the cap, but that team can spend over the actual cap in the amount of the player’s contract.
Example: Player A's cap hit is $2 million and they are placed on LTIR. He still counts to the cap, but the team's payroll can equal $58.7 million instead of the actual cap of $56.7 million.
Coach Hiring - BiLLY_ShOE1721
He will be the agent for all coaches. If a team would like to hire a new coach, please post that request in the waiver/coach thread. Any other GM with interest in the same coach should post, within 24 hours, that they would like the same coach to join their organization. If after 24 hours, no one has expressed interest, the coach "signs" with the original poster. If more than one team expresses interest in the 24 hour period, an agent will be assigned, and the interested teams will be given an opportunity to sell their organization to the coach. No money will be discussed. The agent will make the decision solely on the teams situation.
NHL Entry Draft moderator/organizer -
resource: Draft picks link
Each GM is responsible for sending in their Top 30 rankings for the 1st round of the draft to him only. A team may opt to use the ISS's latest rankings instead. Also, if you make a trade involving a 2009 1st or 2nd round draft pick, make sure you send him a PM letting him know about it so he can update the draft order. Other than the three league commissioners, only he is empowered to make a pick for a team that is not online, or officially be in charge of the draft.
RFAs Super Agents - BiLLY_ShOE1721 (EAST) , T_Cage (WEST)
They will handle negotiations for all restricted free agents. Each GM must send offers for all players to them. We may appoint someone else to assist in this process if needed.
Re-signing UFAs - C-Saku Koivu MTL
He will handle all offers to re-sign UFAs. Most top level UFAs will not re-sign, so keep that in mind when offering him contracts. Also, UFA rights are not allowed to be traded in this game.
Contract Extensions-
will handle any contract extensions. For a GM to sign a player on his roster to a contract extension, the player must not be a UFA-to-be. All offers are to be sent to him. Granted, keep in mind he will not be extending the contracts of players just to do it. It will have to be a good deal that makes sense for the player to sign, just as if it was dealing with a RFA or UFA.

Rosters thread
Each and every GM is responsible for posting and keeping up to date their roster in the league's roster thread. There will be repurcussions for those of you who are not doing so, for example, Boston wants to make a trade or sign an UFA...well for that trade to go through that GM must have their roster updated. Now I'm not talking about every hour on the hour or anything like that, but if you're making a bunch of moves or signings you need to keep your teams post updated, period. Its part of your duties as a GM in this game.
You must post your roster before the game starts.

If I get time i might list each RFA's QO to help you out, but that's a maybe (I also have essays to write). If you don't offer at least the minimum he will go to UFA without mercy.
