NOTICE: Waiver claiming will open later in the week and in order to claim a player, YOU MUST HAVE AN OPEN ROSTER SPOT (less than 23 healthy players) AND AN OPEN CONTRACT SPOT (less than 50 contracts). We will strictly enforce this rule, so if you’re interested in claiming players off the waiver wire, please think ahead!!!

When I mentioned this I specifically stated you shouldn't need an open roster spot, just an open contract slot. Waivers are a tool to improve your team, not just plug holes.
Is there a good reason for not allowing a current player to be placed on waivers after a claim is confirmed?

The way this would work as written, could result in a team waiving a player, not winning the claim, and having their own player claimed in the process. Instead of improving or filling a hole, they'd be losing a player and creating a hole.

If you don't feel the contract slot restriction is adequate, you can use other restrictions (total number of successful claims allowed per season or something). If you lose a 14th forward while failing a claim it's no big deal, but then you have to replace that 14th forward and it might end up happening again.

Starting Friday, 9/28 12:00 (noon) EST: GMs may begin posting October trades. This does not affect September or October trade limits (September trades will be allowed through 9/30 at 23:59 EST).

So if I'm reading this correctly, we can post October trades now and it won't count towards the monthly limit of 4 trades in October??? Is that correct??

I thought the NHL rule was that you had to have a spot open to take someone in. Can a team in real life take on a guy and waive someone else simultaneously?

Yes, just send me the contract and I'll write it up

Who's still available?

NJD have signed Kevin Rooney and Troy Brouwer off that list. And Vince Dunn can't really be on that UFA list can he?!

BTW, I've made my new team on Armchair and notified Banks and Jarvis to skicky it to the GM Game forum.

Any number of years, 675K per player is allowed? Any limit to UFAs i can sign in a day?

Sorry to keep asking questions, but can i go over the 23 player roster limit BEFORE players are placed on waivers? And does every player i don't want on the roster need to be put on waivers?

Edit: Obviously not waivers exempt players, but you know what i mean.

When will the waivers thread be up?

It says i can't edit posts in the waivers thread, but is it okay if i do to fix a mistake? I put Gibson there when i don't have him.

Casey Staum. The Canadiens gave up his rights IRL.
What do I put for his rights expiry date?

Other than that, can someone review me and make sure I'm rules compliant / not missing anything?
