With the offseason arriving we would like to set some dates in stone for upcoming events... Starting today through June 30th buyouts will be allowed to take place. See the <a href="https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/723831">buyout thread</a> for directions on buying players out.

The 2023 Entry Draft will begin on June 19th and will finish on June 26th. See the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tjR2FoPU8U8BczOOO3DC69xmcpES8RzjN6DEuySGbSw/edit?usp=sharing" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">draft sheet</a> for pick order. Pick deadlines will be posted on that sheet before the start of the draft.

UFA bidding will begin on July 1st making June 30th the deadline for UFA re-signs. The RFA re-sign deadline will be on the second to last day of UFA bidding. All unsigned RFAs will have their own bidding day towards the end of the bidding process.

Just wondering if you guys really thought this through.
Starting in game UFA on the same day as IRL free agency begins, plus it's a Saturday and national holiday for us in Canada.

Surely there could have been a better date that doesn't filter into both Canada Day and July 4th for those in the US

Thread: Suggestions Megathread
One thing I'd like to request would be for "create a player" function.
Currently the options when doing this are...
-name
-position
-cap hit
-number of years
What I suggest adding is an "EXPIRY" option, so when you create the player it will display on the new player card whether the end of the contract length results in the player being an RFA or UFA

Would it also be possible for the team icon to display on a created players new card?
Also having the new players cap number show up in the long term outlook tab spread out over the number of years created.

I ask because this would be helpful mainly for us in the GM Game forum since our cap hits don't always match those of the real life numbers.

Last, it would be so great if there was a way to just roll over a created team (gm game) year to year rather than having to create an entire new team.
Not sure that's even possible, but being able to EDIT the team to a new season and have all the new info (teams draft picks) show up.

With TDL coming up, some top end teams might have a desire to add but also might have cap issues that prevent that.
So, since I have $12M in cap space plus all 3 retention spots available, I could be willing to help broker deals...at a cost.

Here's my terms in order for me to consider helping...

-Player you want to acquire MUST be on an expiring contract at the end of THIS season
-Will NOT retain longer than the end of 22/23 season
-Compensation should be in the form of 2024 draft picks (round depends on amount I'm absorbing)

<strong><em>Retention Scale
=============
500K - 999K = 2024 4th rd pick
1M - 1.499M = 2024 3rd rd pick
1.5M - 2.49M = 2024 3rd + 6th rd pick
2.5M - 3.49M = 2024 3rd + 4th rd pick
3.5M - 4.49M = 2024 2nd + 4th rd pick
4.5M or higher = 2024 2nd ++ (++ = other picks or prospects)</em></strong>

This is your chance to grab that pending UFA rental player at a huge discount.
Don't be shy and don't forget, I'm one of the more reasonable GMs to work with in game.

Thread: Proposed in-game changes
Hello GMs

Here's my thought, which I'd like everyone's feedback on.

Starting next season 2023/24 move the standings to a Division Based method.
NOTHING changes with how the scoring system currently works. The only change would be to put teams into their respective divisions/conferences.
Then Playoffs would work the same way as they do now IRL.
Top 3 teams in each division make it, with the final 2 spots being Wildcard teams.

My thought for this is it adds a new layer of game strategy.

If you took the current standings and used this proposed method, this is how it would look...
**I'll use the West for this example**

Pacific PTS Central PTS
1. LAK 80 1. WPG 80
2. EDM 78 2. DAL 72
3. ANA 72 3. COL 65
------------ --------------
4. VGK 71 4. MIN 63
5. VAN 68 5. NSH 57
6. CGY 61 6. CHI 55
7. SEA 49 7. STL 49
8. SJS 48 8. ARI 40

As you can see, VGK &amp; VAN would currently hold the 2 wildcard spots.
From a game management standpoint, I feel this forces each of us to really consider how we construct our teams.

It also allows to expand season ending awards, ie. Div champ, Conf champ West vs East Cup Final.

Draft positioning would remain the same. Non-playoff teams 1-16 with final 16 spots based on where you exited the playoffs.

Anyway, just a thought to spruce up the game, given it's been the same for about 4 years now.
