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):

I haven't had any luck acquiring a potential final piece for my roster. I'm one top 6 winger from being satisfied.
Was hoping I wouldn't have to go the UFA route. Keep in mind that I don't want to make one hole to fill another, so only the following players are potentially available:

Cizikas
Nordstrom
Klimchuk
Fayne
Halak

I can consider taking back some salary depending on who you are offering.
A pick might be available as well. Depends how young and how expensive the player is likely to be.
I will also consider UFA rights if the player qualifies.

If you see a trade you'd like to make involving these pieces and think you have a player that fits my need, let me know!

What are you going to do when you become satisfied with your roster?

I think they are just checking teams to make sure they are cap compliant going into free agency.

Thanks for asking here. Basically to make sure teams are cap compliant, IRL buyouts and retentions are reflected properly, etc.

Just to see if you'll fit under the salary cap, have 20-23 roster spots signed

What if I'm not "cap compliant"? And you said IRL buyouts and retentions are reflected properly, so would the Bouma & Murphy buyout not count against my cap or something (since it was done by Calgary IRL after I took this team over)? And would I get a notice if I have to be cap compliant by a certain date?

Look at Colorado for reference. It might not be the same, as that is up to the BOG to determine, but I've fully budgeted and accounted for all of my players and amounts, as well as explained any discrepancies.
Beauchemin was one issue, because he was bought out IRL while not on my roster, so it made a "ghost" buyout show up.
Another involved IRL buyouts of Greene and Niemi. CF wouldn't let me buy them out on my roster correctly so I had to get creative to perform my own buyouts of those players in game.
There are a few other types of issues that can exist due to IRL and in-game discrepancies and this process will identify and fix those issues so that teams are operating with the correct players and numbers.

For you, Bouma would be similar to Beauchemin. He wasn't on your roster when bought out, so you have a "ghost" buyout that you didn't make. I haven't been able to come up with a way to correct that. Adding Bouma to your team again results in a double buyout, you can't cancel the buyout from your roster, and you can't use a negative amount to correct the error.

Yes, but you might not have to do all that. I did it for my own purposes, but if you do that much I'd imagine it would make the BOG's job easier.
Make sure you explain the discrepancies so I can follow them, since I'm less familiar with your team's players and what happened with Calgary IRL.
