[fieldset=""]Waivers/Buyouts
- Post in this thread if you’d like to place a player on waivers.
- Burying a player in the minors or Europe only eliminates a maximum of $900k of their cap hit. Use the Buyout Calculator.
- A player will be on waivers for 24 hours.
- Waiver priority will be based on the NHL standings as of November 6th, 2016 (the start of the game).

- Buyout Calculator
[fieldset=""]Trades
- All trades must be sent to Joel Ward and donut or else they are not valid.
- Once a trade is agreed upon, send it in BEFORE POSTING, and then you can announce it in the thread. A deal without a NTC or NMC does not have to be approved.
- If a trade is announced prior to it being sent in, it will be vetoed.
- ALL MOVES MUST BE SOMEWHAT REALISTIC. The commissioners hold the power to veto any moves we deem to be ridiculous.
- A trade involving a NTC or NMC must be sent in by BOTH GMs with a reasoning for the player(s) to waive. The trade must be approved by BOTH JW and donut prior to posting. Keep in mind that many NTCs or NMCs will NOT be waived.
- The commissioners will provide a 5 to 8-team no-trade list for players with an unspecified "limited NTC" upon request.
- If a trade involving a NTC or NMC is announced before approval, it will be vetoed.
- If a team does not have enough cap space to complete a trade that has been sent in, the trade will be vetoed.
- Vetoed deals must be significantly altered in order for them to be accepted.
- If a player waives his NTC or NMC, the NTC or NMC will still be valid with their new team.
