Anyone in here with video editing experience that would care to take a look at my recent video and give me some tips/tricks to improve the editing?.. I'm a bit limited with editing tools as I'm using an android app (youcut) on my Samsung S21. Really can't wait to get enough spare $ to build my own gaming PC so I can have access to better editing tools. Feels like I'm so limited on what I can do with my phone lol.

Are we allowed to talk extentions with pending UFA/RFA's now? Or is it still just 1 player max?

From the CBA:

 

4.5 – Extensions

 

Teams are permitted to discuss contract expectations, terms, and freely negotiate an extension with any pending Restricted and Unrestricted Free Agents whose contract expires at the end of the upcoming season beginning on the first day of Free Agency. As with any negotiation, sometimes the player will not desire to sign an extension that early, some players will be more open to the idea, the key is teams can reach out to an agent and get a feel for where their players are at in terms of their expectations etc.

 

When negotiating an extension with a player that has played with your club for the entire season (beginning on opening night of season), teams may offer up to an 8 year contract term if desired.  Again, remember that not all players will re-sign, several will test free agency.

Fully 4 of our Blue Liners are also in a tight battle for third star: Gustav Forsling, Matt Grzelcyk, Alec Martinez and Vlad Gavrikov are all between 50 and 53 points
Josh Mahura, 4 points back of them is in action tonight making it very interesting on the back end, but so is Forsling!

ANNOUNCEMENT
 

As I'm sure we are all aware, the past several seasons, the GML has consistently seemed to have one or two teams that have coasted through a season without a GM while we tried to fill vacancies.  This has resulted in those teams significantly weakened through lack of upkeep, hampered league activity and left some players stuck on rudderless teams.  While we have made great efforts to fill those vacancies, as we move into the critical off-season time, we can no longer float these teams along without GMs to guide them without significant league intervention that would amount to the exec group leading 'puppet' teams, which has far more downside than upside.  We have contacted over 80 people in an attempt to fill these positions and have had no luck. 

 

With that in mind, the executive group is considering the unfortunate measure of declaring the New York Islanders and Anaheim Ducks franchises, both currently still without a General Manager, as defunct franchises as of the end of the regular season on April 14th.  We would reduce to 30 active teams from that point forward.

 

The league would conduct a Dispersal Draft to fairly spread the talent from those two clubs around the league.  The draft would run in reverse standings order, and assets from the Anaheim Ducks and New York Islanders will be available to be selected.  There are 65 total assets available to be selected, so each team would get to select twice during this Dispersal draft.  Details are in the spoiler below.

 

Spoiler

The Dispersal Draft would begin on Saturday April 16th. 

- A new thread would be created for this draft, just as with the Entry Draft. 

- Teams would have 24 hours from the point where they are tagged in the thread to make their selection. 

- Teams would be permitted to pass on their chance to select a player by posting 'pass' in the Dispersal Draft thread when it is their turn.

- There would be NO make up picks if a team misses their 24 hour window unless prior arrangements have been properly made ahead of time (i.e. - away on holidays AND have spoken to c2x or MV prior to their selection coming up).

- No trading of Dispersal draft selection order would be permitted. Teams may select a player and trade them after the fact if they desire, but there would be no trades to effect the order of selection.
- When selecting a player, your team would inherit the players current GML contract, including clauses.

- Pending UFA/RFAs would be eligible to be selected.  All pending UFAs would be open to the idea of an extension, but as always, contract terms, money and fit with the team (especially fit) must make sense.  There is an element of risk with selecting a pending UFA, as there is no guarantee that they will sign an extension.

- Any players who are still left after 2 rounds would be considered UFAs beginning July 1st.
- Any players selected in the Dispersal draft would be ineligible for the 2023 Playoffs.
- For the 2024 Entry Draft, only the Anaheim 2nd round draft selection would be effected.  That selection would be placed in the middle of the 2nd round for the team that holds that draft selection.

 

Obviously this is not the ideal situation, but I personally believe that we would be better served focusing on improving the experience for the GMs that are still here, rather than leaving two teams rudderless or being ran as puppet teams by the league, which obviously presents it's own myriad of issues.  We're looking to turn an untenable situation into a positive for the league.

Please react to this post to this post in the following methods to cast your vote:

- React with a heart to vote in favour of holding the Dispersal Draft
- React with a rough game to vote against holding the Dispersal Draft
 

I would like to welcome your comments, suggestions, questions or concerns in this matter as well.  I am off to work but will reply this afternoon when I am able.

 

Thank you.

 

Also, no, this is not an April fools joke.  Just the way the timing worked out.

I am for this with hopefully the notion of having an expansion draft to bring these teams back with new GMs at some point in the near future. I think that idea might be more exciting for newcomers to build their team from scratch instead of taking on a very challenging roster to rebuild.
