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):

Why did you post something there? I wrote down not to write anything other than unofficial trades.

Oh, sorry. I was just asking what you meant by unofficial trades. I think we should make a thread for the trades that have already been made.

Well, there's one rule that i want to make sure everyone's happy with, but i'm not sure if they are. I've asked everyone if they like the rule where on UFA day, i will pick a length of a contract for each player, and everyone else will offer money to the players, and whoever offers the most money wins. We knew we were doing that, but we weren't sure how to do the length. So i was thinking maybe i would pick a length for each contract, but i wasn't sure if anyone else liked that idea. So does anyone else like that idea?

Colorado, i'm interested in Duchene. Do you have a reasonable offer for Duchene (AKA: not what Sakic actually wants)?

Okay, well maybe create a thread with all of the agreed upon rules, and the replies can be used to iron out new rules.

So much action in this thread now, that splitting the discussion between threads will make it much easier to decipher the information.

Up to you as commissioner , but I think it will be much clearer for everyone

As far as our team pages what yr should we use because if we go to next year we lose our draft pick for this year, but if we do this year we don't have accurate rosters and caps for next? Do we need to have one for each year

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.

Good point, i never thought of that. Maybe we should do next year, but just type in the draft picks we're trading in additional details. The site might count this as advertising, so i won't say where it is, but there's another site that i go to for the 2017 and 2018 draft picks. I can post what picks everyone has at the draft.
