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

This seems very hard to do since everyone will be able to see everyone's bids. To me it should be a silent auction and highest bidder wins.


What do you mean?


Well if we are bidding on UFA's there seems to be no way to do it without exposing your bid. So realistically, everyone's bid should be confidential and the player goes to the highest bidder. 1 bid allowed so put your best foot forward.

Rangers, is Brendan Smith available?


Yeah I think so. I know you were interested is Fast too so would those two and a pick (not sure what round let me know what would make it work) work for Jake dotchin?

1 bid allowed? we're making a rule where you have to bid at least 25K higher than the previous bid until you get into the millions when you must bid at least 250K higher than the last one.

But in real life, another GM never knows what the players current best offer is.

We've already decided that we're doing it that way. I was trying to figure out if anyone likes the idea of me just picking the length of the contracts.

I think others should have a say in it because you think Crosby is #3 in the world. So you picking the contracts and whatnot is shakes head

Well then, as for length of contract, each teams needs are different. For example, I usually re-sign Mason to a 3 year deal because I know Carter Hart will likely be ready by then but another team may want a 5 year deal because they currently have no viable G prospects.

You just have to make sure you copy the link as a visitor and not from the "edit" point of view.

How should I make my team? Should it be that, when all teams are claimed, that they submit a list of their protected players?
