A MESSAGE FOR ALL GM GAME GMs

I need to ask a small favor from each of you.
When you create a new team page, as soon as you publish it please go to the comment section and @ me so I get notified and can more easily find the page.

What you may not know is the page can only be moved from a certain area of CF and as an example if you "published" your new team more than 5 hours of notifying me, it can literally get buried 20+ pages deep making me scroll through page after page just to find it. Even when each of you send me a "link" that doesn't direct me to the proper place in order to move it over.

Making the first comment on your page <a href="/users/flamesfan419" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@flamesfan419</a> will take me directly to the page in the section I can move it from....saving a whole lotta time.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>matt59</b></div><div>Honestly didn’t follow the jackets as closely rumors wise this year, was Domi wanting to play center and not wing something that’s always been a thing or is this a recent thing that’s come out?</div></div>

Going back to Montreal. When he doesn't get his way, he pouts, &amp; basically shows in his play on the ice

If he doesn't play c, or gets demoted, instead of taking that as a challenge like nico sturm did with Wild when benched, his attitude shows in his refusal to go full out on the ice . He does so by not hitting, not skating to the best of his ability, &amp; lacks of care on the board defensively, &amp; offensively.

It's why going back to Montreal, I personally didn't have a positive view of him

<strong>#16 New Jersey Devils at #1 Colorado Avalanche</strong>

The Devils made a late push to get themselves into the playoffs, but any hope they had of advancing was quickly dismantled by an Avs team led by their lethal top line of Rantanen, Mackinnon, and Marner. The GMs gave a 74/26 edge to Colorado, and despite a couple of strong efforts, the Devils were sent downlike a big pile of snow falling down a mountain. Avs in 4.

Game 1: COL 5-2, Rust GWG
Game 2: COL 4-3 OT, Mackinnon GWG
Game 3: COL 5-3, Landeskog GWG
Game 4: COL 3-2, Marner GWG

COL vote % 73.6%
COL single game win % 94.2%
COL series win % 100%


<strong>#15 Vegas Golden Knights at #2 Carolina Hurricanes</strong>

In a surprising midweek interaction, the Vegas GM seemed to verbally concede this matchup between the re-tooling Golden Knights and the Canes. If it was a puzzling move then, it shouldn’t be puzzling anymore, as Carolina absolutely gobsmacked the Golden Yikes. Fans spent more time arguing about who the number one defenseman is on the Canes than debating who will win the series. The voting in this series was the most lopsided of any in the 1st round, 79/29. VGK got some puck luck in games 1 and 4, but ultimately failed to come away with a single victory. Canes in 3... err 4.

Game 1: CAR 4-3, Buchnevich GWG
Game 2: CAR 5-0, Vatrano GWG
Game 3: CAR 4-1, Buchnevich GWG
Game 4: CAR 3-2 OT, Aho GWG

CAR vote % 78.5%
CAR single game win % 100.0%
CAR series win % 100.0%


<strong>#14 Vancouver Canucks at #3 Toronto Maple Leafs</strong>

Only one team would advance from this heavyweight Canadian matchup. The Canucks made a late-season push after playing the rental market like a fiddle and coming away with a shutdown 3C and the greatest goal scorer of all time. But the Maple Leafs were consistently strong all season and weren’t about to be bullied in round one. The voters set this one to be a pretty tight matchup - 53/47 for TOR - and the Leafs jumped out to a 3-0 series lead, so naturally their fans went white with fear. Vancouver took the next two games thanks to clutch goals from Brendan Gallagher and TOMAS TAATTTAAAAAAR. Game six ended on the stick of Oliver Bjorkstrand thanks to the mustache power of his linemates, Fil Forsberg and Papi Matthews. Leafs in 6, good series.

Game 1: TOR 4-3, Pelech GWG
Game 2: TOR 5-2, Forsberg GWG
Game 3: TOR 2-0, Pelech GWG
Game 4: VAN 4-3 OT, Gallagher GWG
Game 5: VAN 5-3, Tatar GWG
Game 6: TOR 3-2, Bjorkstrand GWG

TOR vote % 52.8%
TOR single game win % 56.5%
TOR series win % 62.0%


<strong>#13 Los Angeles Kings at #4 Tampa Bay Lightning</strong>

Just like in the real world, Tampa was able to make a big addition to the roster for the playoffs as the former MVP Nikita Kucherov recovered from his offseason surgery with perfect timing that could be nothing short of coincidence. The Kings meanwhile, suffered a massive hit when their top line center Dylan Larkin was lost to injury before the series. The GMs did not vote particularly tight on this matchup, and Tampa used that 75/25 voting advantage to win the first 4 games of the series and advance to the 2nd round. The Lightning cited Cody Ceci as the key cog in the series win. Coach Jon Cooper said “Caca Peepee is a gamer, he competes, gets pucks deep, wins battles, and can be trusted in all situations.” Bolts in 4.

Game 1: TBL 6-1, Ceci GWG
Game 2: TBL 5-4, Garland GWG
Game 3: TBL 4-2, Joseph GWG
Game 4: 5-4, Point GWG

TBL vote % 75.3%
TBL single game win % 97.5%
TBL series win % 100.0%


<strong>#12 Dallas Stars at #5 Calgary Flames</strong>

If March Madness has taught us anything, it’s that the 12v5 matchup is built for upsets. The Stars entered the series with some new faces after their GM had a busy few weeks leading up to the trade deadline. The Flames made some moves of their own, including a move that sent center Bo Horvat to the Stars in exchange for Roope Hintz. Horvat, centering Swiss model Kevin Fiala and Dallas’ new sniper Patrik Laine, was out for revenge on his former team, but it was the Flames that prevailed in this close matchup. Calgary, voting favorites at 53%, took the series in dramatic fashion, winning on a game 7 overtime goal from Matt Tkachuk. Flames in 7.

Game 1: DAL 3-2, Kurashev GWG
Game 2: CGY 4-3, Strome GWG
Game 3: DAL 3-2 OT, Kurashev GWG
Game 4: CGY 5-2, Reilly GWG
Game 5: CGY 3-1, Oshie GWG
Game 6: DAL 2-0, Laine GWG
Game 7: CGY 4-3 OT, Tkachuk GWG

CGY vote % 53.2%
CGY single game win % 52.7%
CGY series win % 57.7%

<strong>#11 Winnipeg Jets at #6 New York Rangers</strong>

The Jets searched for a gamebreaker to add before the deadline, but their GM ultimately decided to move a couple of upcoming free agents and focus on the future. Still they entered the playoffs with a high-octane offense led by 2 of the top 7 goal scorers on the season. The Rangers have a strong veteran core and spent a lot of time near the top of the standings, earning the #6 seed. This was the closest series of the first round - the GMs actually gave the #11 seed Jets a 50.5% edge. No surprise to hockey men everywhere, the defense and goaltending became key factors, and the Rangers were able to edge out the high-powered Jets. Rangers in 7.

NYR vote % 49.5%
NYR single game win % 48.5%

<strong>#10 Detroit Red Wings at #7 Ottawa Senators</strong>

Detroit made a huge push at the outset of the season, and again at the deadline, to get themselves into a contending window. The Senators did the same thing, moving prized prospects for proven stars. The Wings suffered from no.1 d-man Aaron Ekblad going down to injury, and the Senators star forwards took full advantage of the opportunity in this series. Drake Batherson was the most noticeable Sen on the ice at times, and with teammates like Patrick Kane, Mark Stone, and Sean Couturier, this is extremely high praise for the youngster. The Wings were able to take one game from the Senators, but it is Ottawa who will be moving on to the 2nd round. Sens in 5.

<strong>#9 Edmonton Oilers at #8 Montreal Canadiens</strong>

Edmonton and Montreal, another Canadian matchup with great teams and loads of talent. I wish we could’ve seen this one played out in real life - McDavid and Draisaitl versus Crosby and Malkin. The voting was tight as expected. Montreal received a 52% voting share and with home ice advantage, entered the simulated series with a slight edge over the underdog Oilers. The Oilers stole a game in Montreal, but the Habs returned the favor in Alberta. What would a playoff series be without a Nazem Kadri suspension? A high hit to teenager Ryan Nugent-Hopkins resulted in a suspension to Kadri for the remainder of the series. With a 3-game set to determine the winner, it became the Connor McDavid show. The clear MVP choice was just too much to handle in this one, and Edmonton pulled off the upset. Oilers in 7.

Welcome to the GM Game v4.2 Playoffs, presented by Honda, powered by SAP, and prepared by <a href="/users/A_K" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@A_K</a>.

The playoff bracket is set (see the ‘Playoffs’ tab in the <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yHU1F-KjEvTz5gBhBf42QepNrpp77vGJiED3pcRpGOI/edit#gid=283675476" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">score sheet</a>

The links to playoff voting will be found in this thread as soon as voting is open.

GMs will judge each matchup on the categories provided in the poll:

GMs will use a 0-10, 0-4, etc. scale to place votes on the favorability that one team has over the other in each of the categories. The away team is the left side (zero); home team is the right side.

Examples using a 10-pt category:
If you think the home team has a very slight advantage over the away team, your vote would be “6” or “7”.
If you think the away team has a dominant advantage over the home team, your vote would be “1” or “2”.
If you think neither team has a clear advantage in a category, your vote would be “5”. (In a 4-pt category, your vote would be “2”.)

Each GM may vote 1x per matchup – the CF username and team name are collected on each submitted ballot. If there are multiple entries per team, all will be thrown out and the BOG will investigate. AGMs do not receive a vote – 1 per team.

Each GM is asked to vote on all series EXCEPT for (a) matchups that involve his or her own team OR (b) matchups in which he or she owns a first round pick in 2020 of either team involved. The BOG and myself will rule out invalid votes and remove voting privileges for other series if this rule is not followed.

GMs are asked to avoid voting “straight ticket”, i.e. asked to avoid giving all of the possible pts in all categories to one team. GMs are also asked to avoid any biases toward teams/GMs/players that they may possess. Now is not the time to be a superfan, a grudge-holder, or a downright a-hole. We want the most objective results possible. In any case, the highest and lowest total scores for each matchup will be removed from the results. And personal bias will be investigated and votes potentially removed by the BOG with whatever evidence they may call upon.

Voting will remain open for 7 days, then the data will be uploaded into a google sheet where I will perform the simulations. Seven games are simulated for each series based on GM vote shares, home ice advantage (2-2-1-1-1 format for the 7 games), and a “puck luck” factor that randomly assigns a fraction of the total possible score.

I will publish the results to this thread within 1-2 days of the end of each round, and I will provide a view of the score sheet that shows the full voting and simulation results.

Use the General Discussion thread to post any questions or concerns with the playoff system. Good luck to all of the playoff teams - may the best team win!

Donny let us know when you have time again and we will see whats available for gm positions at that time and go from there.

Everyone else make sure you follow nanda on twitter, drop him a message etc, as he will be the new buffalo gm.

Last bit of news, we are discussing the RFA/UFA extensions and what the best way to proceed is. Stay tuned for more info likely to follow this current week.</div></div>

Thank you for the cooperation and understanding,

Will Hopefully become more involved in the game again by next season. Will keep involved in the community and looking at the progression in the game. In the event a new mode has occurred such as a V5. I would like to be notified

IF you would like to offer an RFA and Extension you will send the offer to your designated BOG member and they will bring it to the rest of the BOG. The BOG will then discuss if they contract is acceptable and send back any counter offers (if necessary). Once the BOG has approved the signing please post to your teams Description and the RFA Extension thread.

**Please Note ALL BOG extensions will be voted on by the GM Game Trust**


The format of the signing on the teams description and RFA extension thread should look like this:

April RFA Extension: Player name - Years - Contract AAV.

example :rangers Neal Pionk (D) - 6 Years $5,000,000 AAV


Below is the corresponding BOG member who each team is to send the offer to:

We are still in the process of completing our contract database, but we are still missing some or all of the data from about half the GMs. See my prior announcement below for its purpose and benefits. It's pretty important that we get this handled sooner rather than later. We are going to set a hard deadline of next Sunday, January 24 to have your sheet filled out or we will start handing down penalties. The link has been posted on your team pages and is listed down below. If you have any questions about formatting or anything, let us know.

If you're not sure if you have fully completed your team, the list of teams at the end of this post <strong>have completed their team.</strong>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>phillyjabroni</b></div><div>

We're in the process of creating a Contract Database for our game, where all contracts will be stored in one single spreadsheet that can be accessible for all members of the game. GMs will now have the ability to look up any player's contract status and help keep order during trades, as well as auto-generate Free Agency lists for upcoming offseasons.

We need every GM (over the next week or so, if possible), to go to their team's tab on the below spreadsheet and enter in their player's contract data. Don't worry if you're unsure about some details - we will be auditing the team info as the data comes in. Any major discrepancies could result in fines. If you have any questions about formatting or anything about the sheet, throw a question in the ask BOG thread or send us a message on Twitter.

Update: For "AAV", put the contract's original value. If there is retained salary, you can add that under the retained salary columns. Consult the Example tab for formatting (Max Pacioretty applies to this format)</div></div>

The season begins tonight and I have a final update on our scoring process for Season 2 of V4. While the calculation methods and appearance of the score sheet will look different, most of the scoring details from Season 1 will carry over. However, there are some new features that you will want to hear about.
Since this stuff is boring for most of you, I’ll start with the part you really need to pay attention to:

<strong>WHAT DO I DO?</strong>
<em>SET YOUR ROSTER ON THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH</em> - Your team page serves as your official roster. On the last day of each calendar month, your roster will lock, meaning that the BOG will (after verifying its legitimacy) enter your team EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS, and this roster will be used to calculate the scoring total for your team.

<em>SELECT YOUR COACHING STYLE</em> – This feature is new to v4.2. Take advantage of the strengths of your team by choosing one of the 5 categories for added multipliers. These bonuses are entirely based on your exact lineups (ex. Line 1, Line 2, 2nd pair, etc.) and are laid out in detail below in the “NEW TO V4.2” section (and can be found in the rule book). Use the first line of the “Description” section of your team page to make your selection. For example, type “January Coaching style = Balanced”. This will lock and be recorded on the last day of the month along with your roster. If you do not select a style, “Standard” will be selected by default.

<strong>NEW TO V4.2</strong>
Coaching styles are a new feature that the BOG wanted to add to make things more interactive and to allow for teams to exploit certain areas of strength that GMs have built their rosters upon. To put it simply, think of it as giving certain lines and pairings more ice and more value. There are 5 coaching styles:

<strong><em>Standard </em></strong>– aptly named, this is a generic usage strategy for a team that leans on its better players but doesn’t break their backs. 10%, 6%, and 4% bonuses to forward lines 1, 2, and 3, respectively. 10% and 6% bonuses to defense pairs 1 and 2, respectively.

<strong><em>Top-Heavy</em></strong> – this strategy is for teams that heavily rely on their top line and top pair. 20% bonus to forward line 1. 20% bonus to defense pair 1.

<strong><em>Balanced</em></strong> – Rolling all 4 lines and 3 pairs? 8% bonus to all 4 forward lines and all 3 defensive pairs.

<em><strong>Heavy Top6F</strong></em> – self-explanatory, good for a team that gets their top 2 lines out there as much as possible. 15% bonuses for forward lines 1 and 2. 6% and 2% bonuses to defense pairs 1 and 2.

<em><strong>Heavy Top4D</strong></em> – you should get it by now… 20% boost to defense pairs 1 and 2. 6% and 2% bonuses for forward lines 1 and 2.

Pro tip: Don’t stress about your selection here, these bonuses will only swing your total team score by a couple of percentage points. Just pick based on where you think your team strength lies. You may not ask the scorekeeper which selection to use.

<strong>SCORING DETAILS</strong>
Each skater will earn points for their team based on the amount of goals, primary assists, secondary assists, individual expected goals (ixG), hits, blocks, faceoff win/loss, penalties drawn/taken, on-ice goals for/against, on-ice expected goals for/against, and expected goals for/against relative to teammates, and time on ice.

Primary power play points are valued at 80% of the worth of a point scored in any other manner (i.e. EV, PK) and secondary assists on the power play are worth 65%; stats while playing against an empty net are ignored. On-ice stats are for 5v5 play only.

Each goalie will earn points for saves and lose points for goals against. They will earn or lose points for goals saved above expected (GSAx). Also, actual save percentage vs expected and vs league average are used. Goalie stats are counted for all situations. If a goalie’s stat line puts him into the negative (mostly due to small sample sizes of extreme underperformance) he will earn zero points.

Points are totaled each period for each line/pair and are multiplied by the bonuses based on your coaching style selection.

Healthy scratches earn 30% of their point totals.

The scoring formula is based on Game Score and Game Score Value Added (GSVA) models by Dom Luzszcszcsczsczczsyn, with a few tweaks and workarounds.
