Fellow GMs
Free Agency officially opens at 1 PM ET on Saturday August 19th. Any post prior to 1 PM is invalid. Signings are made on a first come basis and you are allowed a maximum of 1 successful signing per day and a maximum of 2 per week/8 per month. A new day starts at midnight, therefore should you sign someone successfully on the 19th, you may submit you second signing at or after 12:00 AM EST on the 20th. Weeks also run from Sunday through Saturday.
A successful signing occurs when you are the first to sign an eligible player on Pro-Boards during a signing period and you are within the signing requirement perimeters. Waiver claims will not be processed until the season starts. Waiver claims will be processed by the Jets GM and are initially based on last year's final standings for the first three weeks of the season. You are also reminded that the farm size will revert back to 25 on the Sunday prior to season start. To be eligible for the farm, under current rules a skater may not exceed 110 career NHL games played and a net-minder may not exceed 55 career NHL games played. The only exceptions to this under current rules are if they are signed to other leagues or are actually in the AHL. Please make all efforts to be below the cap, above the floor and within roster requirements before the season starts!
Additional reminder, Zaph has listed a poll on our scoring procedure (Roto or Head-to-head). That poll officially closes on August 31st and I would like to honor the results. Therefore, if you have not yet voted, please do so.
I also believe Pens comments of reducing GP limits for minor eligibility have some merit. Granted we should have a poll before implementation and is worthy of it's own discussion thread.
