Free Agency (Second Wave)
----------------------------------------------
This is a different process from wave one due to various complexities and to cut down the time and effort required to process.
We've eliminated bidding, ties, and individual waiver claims from the process to make it more efficient.
1. Participating GM's will submit a list using their Team Sheet. This list may include up to 10 players from among:
- Remaining unsigned free agents from UFA Bidding (LINK TO LIST)
- Unsigned players from other leagues whose rights are unowned in the GM game (College, European, Semi-Pro leagues)
- Undrafted players prior to the 16/17 entry draft (players who were first eligible and undrafted in the GM game this year may not be listed)
This list will follow the format provided on the team sheet. (Do your best to avoid spelling errors please)
2. GM's will be able to sign up to 5 players from among those on their submitted list. Signings will be determined in order of waiver priority in a draft format.
Only the players you are listed for will be available to be signed when it is your turn. If you submit the top 10 players available and you don't pick until 30th, you probably aren't going to get anyone, so try to submit players that will be in your range.
3. The draft list will not be public until the deadline for list submissions has passed.
Once the draft list is made public, teams will proceed in order to select their desired player(s) from among those they have access to.
This information will be available on the list.
4. Contracts
Players entering an ELC would be signed to a $925k contract with term dependent on their current age, as per NHL rules.
Players who qualify as free agents (no-ELC) may be signed to a 1 year term only, with salary dependent on the round they are selected in.
Round 1: $900k
Round 2: $800k
Round 3: $700k
Other: $650k
5. Waiver order
Once a participating team has successfully signed a player, they will be moved back in the waiver order.
Waiver order will only be affected according to what happens in this wave of free agency and not applied individually to each selection.
[A] Teams that do not successfully sign a player will retain position in the waiver order
[B.] Teams that are only successful in signings uncontested player(s), will retain their position in the waiver order behind the teams in group [A]
[C] Teams that are successful in signing ANY contested player, will retain their position in the waiver order behind the teams in group [B.]
Example:
Beginning waiver order : free agency result : ending waiver group
Colorado : Signs two uncontested players : [B.]
Dallas : Signs no players : [A]
Tampa : Signs one contested player : [C]
Edmonton : Signs one contested and one uncontested player : [C]
Pittsburgh : Signs no players : [A]
Final waiver order after free agency
[A] Dallas
[A] Pittsburgh
[B.] Colorado
[C] Tampa
[C] Edmonton
------------------------------------
The procedure for making your selections will be outlined prior to lists being required for submission. (WIP)
Begin researching/preparing your lists and have a fake e/gmail account prepared in order to make your submissions anonymously.
An option for public submissions will also be provided at a later date (do not submit lists yet).
Dates and deadlines will be announced once I complete preparations.

BOG: Did I cover everything and we're good to proceed with this?
