GM Game 7 Discussion Thread

[Gecklund]

• There will be a Seattle expansion draft. This will occur before the 2020 Entry Draft so the GM can participate in the game. If you are interested, send that with your teams and you will be entered into the drawing.
• The first thing that will occur is the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. The order will be decided based on current order. There will be no draft lottery except to find out 1st overall. But teams who have conditional picks that include a choice between current or future drafts will get to choose for themselves. Example: Vancouver does not have to give up 2020 1st to New Jersy, they can give up 2021 instead.
• After this, free agency will occur. All teams will have a chance to sign UFA's before the draft starts. All RFAs are automatically qualified. Offersheets will be allowed. Teams may sign RFA's before Free Agency.
• After a brief UFA period, trading will open and the 2020-2021 season will commence. Trading will continue for roughly 5-7 days. A precise timeline will be decided upon in game.
• All players you sign in UFA are UNTRADABLE for the remaining duration of the game, including those signed before Free Agency.
• The salary cap will be 81.5M. The cap floor with be 65M.
• There will not be any NTCs in this game. Feel free to go wild. But if someone feels a trade should be blocked, the game commissioners will determine if the GM's need to redo their trade.
• DO NOT SEND IN ANY TRADES. PLEASE.
• All trades are subject to commissioner approval and can be vetoed if the value is believed to be too far off by a unanimous vote.
• Trading will once all teams are filled
• Voting will occur immediately after the trade deadline. You will rank the teams in each division and send us your rankings. From there, we will determine the final standings and playoff match-ups which will be voted on afterward.
• Voting will also occur for rebuilders.
• There will NOT be a 2021 NHL Entry Draft. This does not mean that 2021 picks are not valuable, as the amount of 2021 picks a team has SHOULD BE CONSIDERED when voting for the best rebuilder.
• If you have any questions, feel free to PM the commissioners.
• PLEASE READ THE RULES IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

I was MIA for the last game due to some intense family problems, but I'm full in for a new game.

I hope everything is all good now! Very excited for another Gm Game

 

[Gecklund]

Well the vote is pretty close but I know a few of the guys that voted no don't really care one way or another about the expansion and honestly I want to run the expansion team so we are doing an expansion draft. Sign ups are open!

Also going to need a couple volunteers for a few roles during the game:

RFA Agents (2)

1. @AveryStar4Eva
2. @hockeynorth

Veto Committee (2)

1. @OB5
2. @BumDum

Draft Handler (1 or 2)

1. @TribalPhoenix

 

[BeLeafing]

Despite seeing how difficult the Leafs seem to be in these games.. I'll be Toronto and try to be kind of realistic. Not sure I want to be an agent too but we'll see.

 

[hockeynorth]

New Jersey? Maybe?

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I can be an RFA agent. Also I’d like to give Montreal a shot as a rebuilder

 

[Blinny]

Dallas Stars

 

[TribalPhoenix]

I'll take the Kings.

Can also run the draft, though will want to switch away from a live draft if we have low participation in it.

 

[Llamamoto]

I'll take the Flyers.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Wait, why am I the Oilers? I never signed up. I'll pass on this one with the playoffs coming up.

Thanks for thinking of me though SJ

these have only lasted a week or so. Might be able to finish before the Covid Cup

 

[BumDum]

I can help with the vetoing

Get ready for more confusion. Soon the entire Oilers board will have some variation of this avatar.

[BumDum]

Do we need a 23-man roster?

 

[Gecklund]

22 man

 

[OB5]

If we double up we're at 24 which isn't bad. Let's get some more guys folks, recruit!

Well to avoid confusion you should just join the game.

 

[LT]

Since something seems to pop up every time I start one of these, I’ll sit out this one unless we’re desperate for GMs.
