  1. I believe it is as many as they want BUT it is at least 11 as per the Coyotes. The Coyotes have signed the following players to PTO agreements: Peter DiLiberatore (D) Olli Juolevi (D) Austin Strand (D) Hunter Drew (F) Ryan Dzingel (F) Patrick Harper (F) Cameron Hebig (F) Micah Miller (F) Austin Poganski (F) Colin Theisen (F) Reece Vitelli (F)
  2. Welcome to the league @aqua59!!!! Don't let these guys try to rob you through trade offers before you settle in.
  3. Congratulations on getting a great kid Bob! I got to know Jayden a bit as his dad is my grandson's hockey coach and he also plays with Jayden's brother.
  4. I believe the E & W are indicators of how many Eastern teams vs Western teams have submitted offers. PHASE 1: TAKING OFFERS In this phase agents will simply be taking offers and not replying. (Minimum of 3 days) PHASE 2: SSOFT COUNTERS Agent will provide GMs with soft counters. Soft counters is more to give an idea of what it MIGHT take to sign them. You can choose to offer the players ask, offer more, or less after that. (Will try and wait for replies, but could proceed to phase 3 without response. Minimum 24 hours) PHASE 3: EVALUATING OFFERS In this phase there should be a couple front runners that the agent will start getting down to business with. They will let other GMs know they are out of the running (or close to) and focus on the favorites. This doesn't mean a team can't come out of the blue with a better offer. An agent will still consider another offer during this phase if they see it benefiting his clients needs. (No time frame) PHASE 4: DECISION TIME In this phase the agent has pretty much finished talks and is making their decision. Time is ticking to get an offer in. Chances of getting a last minute deal done at this time is slim, but not impossible. (Expect a decision within 1-24 hours after PHASE 4 has begun)
  5. Kind of an intimidating agent........I'll probably cave and give in to all your demands!
  6. MSB, I think you are going to have to get a ruling from the Commish as this is a bit of a unique situation. Wright did have his contract slide in real life last year as he only played 8 NHL games but he will still only be 19 as of September 15th this year so he may be eligible for a slide in our league. If the ruling is you can slide him this year you will not be on the hook for his cap BUT you will not be allowed to play him in the NHL at all this year. If the ruling goes against you then you will be on the hook for his cap either at the NHL level or against your AHL cap if you demote him. I see you are already over your AHL cap so you would have to adjust your Front Office budget if you demote him. Hope this helps.....
  7. I guess it is only fair to share our front office management team's drafting strategy as well................
  8. What are the mechanics of this process? Do we submit an offer to an Agent? Do they assess all offers up to a certain time or just approve if it is deemed a reasonable offer? Do we get to raise our offer against other bidders, ETC?
  9. I thought the intent was to punish the bottom 5 teams equally. With these rules in place nobody is going to "tank" to finish last and it will just be a result of their team not being competitive enough. As you stated, the only "tanking" I could see would be to finish 6th from the bottom but that would be almost impossible to do in my mind. I guess it really comes down to whether or not we want to "penalize" the bottom 5 teams in some kind of priority order.
  10. See bolded above. I am not sure I agree that the one team receives more benefit than the other. In both cases the teams are dropping the same number of spots (1st to 9th and 5th to 13th) so I don't really understand why this is not fair. Wouldn't it be that our bottom 5 would be seeded 6th to 9th and all could possibly just slide 2 spots depending on how the lottery goes?
  11. Calgary Flames request following change: SLIDING CONTRACT for 2023/24 season: Marek Alscher @Gator
  12. Calgary Flames select Marek Alscher. @kj29
  13. The Calgary Flames are proud to select Brody Lamb. @Primal Optimist
  14. The Calgary Flames are proud to select Ville Ottavainen. @kj29
  15. I believe that @Relyt Krets can as well.
