Season Start

[Commish/Minny]

Alright guys,
Here's what's goin on for right now;

The season will begin on Monday April 24th with Pre-Season.
Not too sure how many games the pre-season will be but not more than 8-10. Some of you may not like having pre-season but we are doing all this to give teams a chance to get in their postion changes, camps, get under the cap and finalize their rosters.

Position Changes:
Position changes will be UNLIMITED untill the puck drops on pre-season April 24th.

Farm Teams:
I will complete the roster draft tonight and assign all teams missing picks their missing players. After that we will go into a mini free agency type of thing to fill out the farm rosters. Contract values will be in the range of 250k-1.5 mil typically on these guys.
The Mini free agency will start TONIGHT, Monday april 17th and end Wednesday night April 19th. All rosters will be updated by the 20th.

Teams Over the cap:
Teams over the cap will have untill the 1st game of the regular season to get under the cap or your highest paid player will be suspended untill you are back under the cap.

Endorsements:
Now is the time to start signing your endorsement contracts. Please E-mail me them ASAP.

Camps:
Training camps will be posted by Tomorrow(tuesday) the latest. You will have up untill the first day of the regular season to submit your players to camps. All the guidelines will be released with the camps.

Activity Points/ Team press release:
Some of you guys have already begun writting your press releases and so far i must say all of them are great!
Once you have passed your 2 nessicary ones for the season i will start to award your activty Points.
James the LA GM already has 4 due to the fact he submitted a league wide article for the main page.
Be sure to brush up on the rules regarding activity points.

Captains/Alternates:
You guys all need to assign your captains and alternates. Once you do they will get their LD ratings adjusted be sure to read up on this rule aswell. A good way to announce them might be in a press release, i read all of them.

Prospects Draft:
The prospect draft start date has yet to be determined but it will be concluded by the time the puck drops for the regular season.
James, the San Jose GM, is the one putting together the list, he is almost done. As soon as he is i will post everything and then can get started on that.

Props:
A huge prop goes out to James the San jose gm for running the drafts in my absence. I'd also like to commend the rest of you on being active so far, looks like we''ve got a great group of gm's here

Montreal/Nashville:
There has been a new appointed montreal canadiens GM. I will get him signed up on the boards and have his contact info up ASAP.

Due to some mishaps unfortunatly the Nashville GM has stepped down from his position. We are currently looking to fill the position as soon as possible





Not really sure what else i'm missing here, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Good Luck to all! Let's get that puck dropped!

Can i please get taken a look at i mean jr and joseph making 7 million respectivly ..i mean come on joseph was like a 5-6 round pick or sumthing, and hes worth 7 million?...whether it was atoumatic or not thats WAY to hight for both

[devilsgm]

you shoulda looked at salary's man....

[letsgokings]

Yeh I agree all that info was there to see it was up to you to choose them.

[sharks]

Yeah but in all fairness there are some pretty stupid saleries out there. I think there should be alowed 2 changes per team, there are some pretty high saleries for what the players OV's are in this league. Yes I know you should of looked at that before hand and I agree with that, but somebody had to take these players and its not there faults they are out of wack. Just like when the first time the ratings were posted you were allowed to mention guys that should be adjusted, I see this to be no different. When your starting everything from scratch you have to expect that there will be changes needed at almost everything before things get started.

I dont know I passed on alot of players solely because of their salaries. JR was one of them, had I known that we could adjust their salaries I would of taken him and few others.

agreed...what's done is done

[atlantagm]

Hate to sound like a broken record but I agree. I passed on guys because of salaries.

[pud]

I passed on players for different reasons and in the end this is my club bite the bullet the club you have is where you are. I already have a list of players who will not return due to contracts.

Ottawa

[flyers]

I also agree unfortunately what's done is done, I also have a player that is over paid........ although having a career year in Vancouver Anson Carter is making 3 million, worth that? I don't think so, and he was a very low round pick for me. I had to fill a need on my roster and he was one of only ones available, so you live with what you got. Would you be complaining if you or someone else grabbed him in the first 3 rounds?

[Commish/Minny]
