I'm assuming there will be a deadline to get salary caps in order and finalize 20/40 man rosters. Also, what is penalty if cap is over limit? Free Agents might only get signed at the 11th hour before 1st game begins??? Subban would be a case in point although I don't own his rights any more.

Once we get the activity check completed on Thursday around mid day we will get the deadline for roster submissions in place etc.

So the season looks like it will start not this saturday but next the 19th. Hopefully we can have the roster submission deadline for next wednesday at midnight EST. Sound good?

Hah...full of questions tonite...been out in the fresh air too long.
If you have an expensive and yet unsigned free agent on your roster (example again being Subban, & surprised his owner is not asking this question), can you keep him and go with 19 players until he's signed so you don't lose him? Or do you have to drop him and carry 20 eligible players. (Heretofore known as "the subban ruling")
Or do you keep him and suffer the penalty (which I think was 925K) for going over 20?

You don't have to run with 20 players I believe the rules say that I'm rolling with 19 players and have 2 rfa's in waiting

These RFA's will most likely be signed by next wednesday. If not we can look into it monday, tuesday next week. With the shortened season and things being a scramble with RFAs and such in the 11th hour we will be understanding regarding teams who are effected by this situation.

I guess to clarify in real terms: If the hawks don't end up spending 9.5m of their huge bag of cap space and if by chance I get (no longer able to sneak him through unchallenged) him in free agency, & if he's not signed do I have to include him in my 20 man roster for the wednesday deadline? (without releasing him on waivers with no penalty)....OR....do I have to keep him and release another player such as Langenbrunner who he would replace if signed.?? Also, not sure if I"m able to go with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen. Is that allowed (insurance for Markov's dodgy knee)

Also, not sure if I"m able to go with 11 forwards and 7 defensemen. Is that allowed (insurance for Markov's dodgy knee) Sykora would take up a spot on the 20 man roster as he's not prospect eligible. The way Fantrax is set up you can go over the 20 man limit but your roster is considered illegal and won't accumulate stats. So it is important to get down to 20 before games are played. You could release Sykora and if he hasn't signed a real NHL contract you are not penalized at all. If Sykora signs an NHL contract and then is released, you would pay half what you signed him for for the amount of years that he has signed in real life. Ex: You sign him 2M/per for 5 Years. He signs a real NHL contract for 2 Years. You then waive him. You would be on the hook for 1M for 2 Years. Edit : You can also go 11/7 like you mentioned , There's 10F slots , 6D, 2 Skater (F or D) , 2G So you can dress up to 8Dmen if you want to

Thanks for that explanation! One last question since I have you online. It's about the scoring system. Is it finalized under the Fantrax system as being Goals,Assists,Shots, PPP, GWG, Hits, Blocks, GAA, Save%?? Also, I was never clear on the Head to Head system: If Montreal plays 3 games in the week, say, versus Wash, Pitt, & Boston. Is the scoring done on each game versus the GM's of those franchises (ie, potential wins are 3 games) or is it the total categories won over the entire week versus a designated opponent within our league for that week? I hope I made that question clear

Just add Wins for Goalies, and +/- for skaters
Each week you're matched up against another GM from your conference. In each category you want to have more than your opponent. So If your team gets 5 goals and his gets 4 goals then you win that category for the week. If you won all the categories you'd have a record of 11-0 for that week. After 11 weeks the top 8 teams from each conference move onto the playoffs
Hope that answers it, not sure if I understood correctly
