The BOG would officially like to announce that @Usmans721 is the newest General Manager of the St. Louis Blues. We are currently working on helping @Usmans721 get set up with everything and would please like fellow GMs not to flood his Twitter DMs with trade offers as he gets settled in.

Thank you and welcome @Usmans721

NOTICE: Update on AAV and Term Weights

I noticed the model was not optimizing the bids as planned and have made slight adjustments that were initially thought to have been in place.

Average Term = C3
Average AAV = B3

If Average AAV = Average Term, the weights are equal (0.500 each)

If Average AAV > Average Term, the Term Weight is 1 - (Average Term / Average AAV).

If Average AAV < Average Term, the Term Weight is 1 - (Average AAV / Average Term)

The AAV Weight is always the difference between 1.000 and the Term Weight

Please recall the previous announcement about the new UFA Structure:

The top-three offers would then be entered into a lottery draw - with their percentage of the total share of points equaling their chances of winning that player. Team A would have a 37% chance, Team B 32% chance, Team C 31% chance. The 5% and 10% bonus for home teams still apply in the initial calculations. New: In the event of a tie for third place, we will include the 4th best team and expand the lottery to the top-4, rather than having a coin flip decide the final 3rd place team and then draw the top-3

Negotiation Points:
Each team will have 7 “negotiation points” that can be allocated to their offers equal to the number of years of their offer. These points will be added to the final point total of the offer. If my offer for Nikita Kucherov is $8.000 M x 4 years for a total of 25 points, I can offer up to 4 negotiation points that increases my final point total from 25 to 29 (25 + 4). The amount of negotiation points offered cannot exceed the term offered for that specific player ---> 4 year deal = max of 4 negotiation points. . Teams can allocate their points as they wish, however, once they are used they are gone, regardless of if the player is awarded to that team. They can be spent on one player on a 7 year deal or multiple players as long as they do not exceed 7 points used. This element allows for some human aspects to teams - “more playing time, better lifestyle, etc.” during negotiations. Basically all aspects of IRL that we cannot be accounted for or influenced in our offers will be through negotiation points.

Montreals bids for 7-26 free agents collectively put him over the salary cap threshold. As a result, all bids montreal placed today have been tossed and any players he bid on were re-run. Please see the post in the UFA blurb for more details on that. We would like to reiterate, since this is a one time bidding process, you cannot bid over the salary cap limit at any time. Since we do not allow declining of won bids, we treat all offers going in as if they were all accepted against your cap space. Once again you cannot bid above the offseason cap limit.

Quick Annoucement from Bog. With UFA officially over both Rob and Nick are stepping down from Bog. They are going to stick on as game trust for an indefinite amount of time but that leaves 2 BOG spots open. That being said we are taking nominations to hold a formal vote. Im going to make a new post titled fall 2021 bog candidacy. If you would like to throw your name in the hat please post there.

As an addition to the above post, we will leave open offers on bog candidacy until next Friday August 13th (that cant be bad luck or anything). We will hold a roughly week long vote to make sure we get the full 32 gm vote on who should replace nick and monops. We want to make sure anyone mulling a chance at throwing their name in has the opportunity to think about doing so.

Regarding "Future Considerations" please depict what the exact considerations are in the deal. I know what it implies but to keep this game easy to maintain and something cant be misconstrued, post exactly what the consideration is. If you are making a trade for nothing, literally just dont post anything for that side of the trade, if you are making a trade involving a future player or a future pick please write that and what the condition is for that player/pick to convey. Writing "future considerations" in a game with so much gm turnover could lead to disagreements in trades and it keeps trades "open facing". We dont want that, nobody wants to look at a trade from 2 years ago and be like oh booth made a deal with mike for future considerations anyone know what those were? An example of what we are trying to avoid: if i trade schultz to chicago for future considerations and dale quits/gets fired/ghosts us entirely/naps through the rest of eternity (sorry dale had to do it)... i cant go to the next gm and say oh the future considerations was for a first or first equivalent. This is why we have had you post some kind of pick swap/ heavily conditioned pick in the past. But its becoming more rampant both in game and in the league so if you are going to make this style deal just specify the exact consideration involved.

Buyout window is open again. We will hold it open until September 15th. This will be the last window until next offseason to buy out a player. Any player bought out is subject to waivers at this point. Waivers will not begin until sometime in September, we are trying to finalize that date still.

In other news, voting for 2 new bog spots will start Saturday. If you want to run for BOG you have until friday to submit your nomination.

The BOG has decided to suspend the GM’s of both Carolina and Washington effective immediately. @gronk will also be suspended from BOG duties. The BOG was made aware of a situation in the spring that Patrick could be gronks alt account. The BOG will continue to investigate the situation over the coming days. If found guilty, the Carolina 2021 Championship will be stripped and gronk/Patrick will be removed from the game. At that time a vote may take place on whether or not to go to v5, seeing that the integrity of the game could be in jeopardy. Watch capfriendly for further updates.

The BOG has concluded their investigation involving the GM's of Carolina and Washington being doubles. We have found the Gm's of those teams guilty of being doubles. At this time Anthony has been removed from GM Game.

As a result of this situation, the integrity of the game is clearly in jeopardy. We will holding a league wide vote as to whether or not we should end V4 and start V5. There is a link posted below to the voting, and all 29 current GM's are strongly encouraged to vote. It will take a 60-40 vote in favor of restarting for V5 to make it happen. Voting will end Wednesday, September 22nd, at 11:59 PM EST.

If a V5 restart is passed, more information will come regarding team selection and other logistics.

Sincerely,
BOG

The 29 active GM's have voted in favor of ending v4 and restarting with v5. The vote count was 19-8 in favor of going to v5. Screenshots of the results will be posted in the twitter groupchat (not letting me add them here for some reason)

As a result of this decision, the BOG will formally begin gathering their list of the 32 GM's going forward into V5. Teams will be randomly assigned shortly after we finalize the 32 GM's. All GM's will have the ability to swap with other GM's after being assigned their team. All interested in a GM spot should add themselves to the following google form ASAP:
