Those rules shouldn't have been broken either. The only time it would have been acceptable to make deals like the ones that were illegal under your regime were once those rules were overturned. There needs to be rules, that need to be followed so that every GM has a fair chance in the game. There are responsibilities that every GM has (like staying updated on community events in the threads) that fall on you, not on rule-making.

Pittsburgh 's goalie situation over a black checkmark that should be green since jarry was extended is exactly what I meant earlier as an oversight by all of us that should have been addressed... . According to the rules as explained earlier they must now expose Murray to expansion

I agree that the whole black check vs green check is silly but Jarry is expansion draft exempt according to the expansion tool. Murray is the only goalie pittsburgh can expose.

Ouch

For the love of God.. rangersfan can you please edit your garbage ass expansion protection list and make it like it's supposed to be.

News, important dates thread is good idea...the master thread gets pretty cluttered and lately there were a lot of random threads here as well

yeah I figured it was really important to get one thread where there's no clutter. frankly too many threads on here get cluttered and important info gets lost.

No need to debate check marks on that oversight then...that's gonna hurt

I was wondering what the terms of Bobby's contract are that make him an exception?

Pretty sure had something to do with being a modified NMC that prohibits the team he's on from sending him to the AHL. Either that or it was a NMC with a clause that in the case of expansion, his NMC can be waived by the team

Thanks...I knew it didn't show in CET, I just didn't know why. Guess Ottawa did one smart thing with that contract because we all know the term and salary are brutal ?

I edited my expansion thing to include Bieksa... does it look good now?

We will review them all to be sure. I just popped in for a minute so I'll look when I get a chance.



I believe his contract explicitly states no being sent to the minors, rather than being a full no movement clause, so the league ruled that it doesn't prevent movement through the expansion draft.

Sorry, but it looks bad.

Not a single one of the forwards you listed meets the exposure requirements. Unless something drastic happens, you're going to have to expose at least 2 different forwards that qualify.

Sissons qualifies and isn't on your protected list, so there's 1 you can use.
You didn't move all your players up to your main roster yet? We might be able to find one in there you can expose. Do you still have Salomaki down there?
If you still have those 2 players, you'll be safe. Just have to edit your list to include them as your exposed forwards.

As for "expansion spots" that phillyjabroni was trading around, your not actually trading for "spots". Let's try to make ti clear here.

Rather than using "spots", you are trading to have a player who you will not protect, not be selected by Vegas.

Example only: Derek Mackenzie in Florida. Not protected by me. I trade a 7th pick to Vegas so that he chooses from one of the other available players instead. Not trading a 7th to have an extra "expansion slot"

Fickle but important difference.

To be continued ...

I edited mine again, fixed?

Rico the expansion tool says Forsberg is exposable for the goalie requirements. Anton Forsberg I'm talking about.

Thank you. Fixed.
I expect these teams to double check and let me know if I missed something.

JMac, I'm going in order so will get to you eventually.

sounds good Rico... thanks

All looks good on the Dallas one except the numbering labels on the protected players. Should be (3) (5) but really makes no difference

Thanks. Might not matter, but it definitely shouldn't say 7/3/1. Fixed!

Used your template for my Nashville post. Thanks Rico... hopefully it looks up to snuff now

I signed Martinook though

For the love of god, don't quote that post.

He doesn't qualify in the expansion tool. Doesn't matter if you signed him.
Doesn't actually affect you anyway, since you have a deal for Vegas to select an unsigned free agent?
