OK. Here's a game that people can play if they want where people can pretend to be the GM of a team, and we can make trades and stuff as if it's the offseason (no vegas expansion trades until we get closer to the expansion draft, though you may talk about those trades). You may ask for a team, and i will give you that team if it isn't already taken. My favourite teams are the Rangers and Islanders tied, so i'll be the Islanders. Each person may only be the GM of one team.
Here is the list of GMs (i will update it when someone claims a team):
Anaheim Ducks - TrueNorth https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/345664

I'd have to assume yes right. It would just go to the next guy


I would think so too. Not dealing with NHL 17 rules here where the minute you offer, you're stuck haha

I had a different question regarding the UFA bidding process;

What if you have one spot on your roster that you really need to fill through free agency, so you put in multiple bids on different players (first choice, plus 'safety' players), but you end up winning the bid on two or more when you only needed the one? Do you have the option to decline a signing if yours is the winning bid in that case?


What about this question? Do we have the option to pass on a signing if we win a bid on a player?

I'm not 100% certain. The plan was to have home teams state whether they intended to re-sign a player before bidding started... but I'm not sure on policy when the non rights-holding teams want to withdraw a bid depending on scenarios. As someone who hopes to be more active in free agency that initially anticipated I wonder about this too. This will definitely be discussed by the board.

I think we've mostly decided the rules for free agency. not sure though.

And we're not allowed to even hold conversations on team threads? Not regarding negotiating trades but maybe players on other teams.

For example, if I wanted to ask Zach his thoughts on a player on Buffalo


What player did you want my thoughts on? I can almost guarantee you that I'll say he's not good enough, get it? Because it's the the Sabres LOL.

We will allow this in the Boca raton thread, but no accepting deals or agreeing to make them official later. You can talk value of players, and what it could take to get them and such but don't get into negotiations because you'll want to make the deal then lol

Just a thought, each year is the value of one million dollars. Say Dallas offers Oshie 6 years, 6 million per. Carolina doesn't want to give six years, so they offer 5 years, 7 million per. Well, actually, they couldn't do that because these deals would be "equivalent". So they would have to offer 5 years, 7.25 million. That might be too confusing.


So we should try and figure this out.

Or do it by total money offered so 5x5mil = 25 mil better than 4×5.25

ok, i think we have a solution, what does everyone else think? I, myself, like this idea but i am not the main rule-maker anymore, so i have to wait and see what others want.

it's a good thought, when we get to free agency this will be a key part of the discussion since AAV compared to years offered can be two completely different animals. Also, rangersfan please read what I've replied to you in. Remember that finalizing decisions is a matter strictly in the hands of the Board of GMs now.

Yes, Vegas will set that up himself to make it easier to run since he will be the one making the picks.

Rangers I'm going to make a thread called "Short Conversation". we need to have a conversation about what's working and what's not, and how you can be a better board member.
