Salary Cap
- CAPFRIENDLY IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL CAP INFO.
- The salary cap maximum for the 2018-2019 season is $80M.
- The salary cap minimum for the 2018-2019 season is $59M
- The salary cap maximum for the 2019-20 season is $83M
- Teams may exceed the cap maximum by 10% during the offseason.
- Teams must comply with the salary cap during the season and by the end of the game.
- Teams may have a roster of no more than 23 players by the end of the game.
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 $$1.025 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 the 11/25/18
- If a team claims a player off of waivers, they then have the lowest waiver priority.
- Teams are permitted to use a maximum of TWO ordinary buyouts.
Trades
- All trades must be sent to @Joel Ward and @SJSharks39 or else they are not valid.
- Trade submissions must include the teams involved, the first and last names of players involved, as well as, the year and original owner of draft picks changing hands, as applicable.
- Trade submissions that do not contain all relevant information will not be 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 SJSharks39 prior to posting. Keep in mind that many NTCs or NMCs will NOT be waived.
- A proactive approach for clause waives is encouraged - if you're not sure if a player will waive for a specific team - ASK! You can likely expect a response within a day, if not sooner.
- 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.
- Players retain no-trade protection after being traded unless the clause was not already active at the time of the trade.
Free Agent Offers
- All free agent offers must be submitted to agents in the following format: Player Name - # years, $#,###,###/year, Clause (i.e. Evander Kane - 7 years, $7,000,000/year, LNTC), or else they will not be valid.
- This is to be fair to those who volunteer their time as agents. It is otherwise an incredibly tedious task to keep track of player offers and post them in the FA thread.
- All RFAs will be tendered a contract unless specified by their GM.
- Teams are only permitted to use their own original selections as compensation for offer sheets.
- East RFAs: @ConnorMcMullet
- West RFAs: @AveryStar4Eva
- In-Season UFAs: @DummyGotHisDomi
- At the end of the game (provided that there is enough interest & I know there will be because you guys are all crazy competitors...) participants will be encouraged to vote on a number of "awards".
- Awards will earn you bragging rights among your fellow GMs.
- Criteria and names of awards are still under construction, but so far we have: best rebuild, best team on paper, most improved team, best signing, best draft, and best (most even) trade.
- If you have any suggestions, feel free to send me a message!
