Thanks guys!
I've just spent some time reading over the rules/looking at the site
btw being a nucks fan i'm still trying to get over the fact that this team (boston) TRADED away alex freaking burrowsÂ

no reason to whine really.. that got the new owner the 1st overall in the upcoming draft so i'm sure you can easily get over it lol
oh, AND Burrows' contract was set to expire, so it could have been nothing more than a RFA..
anyways, i have a few questions, so hopefully one of you can answer them for me:
For the salary cap/player wages, are there any rules in place to prevent people from bidding a ridiculous high amount for a player who just entered the league, or an average player? (ex. think thomas vanek or sean horcoff)
i would say no at the moment, anyone is free to kill his team throwing a ridiculous amount of money on one player. On the other hand, there is a minimum starting offer for each FA.
When is the trade deadline? and also, are there any other times during the season when the roster is frozen (ex all-star weekend/olympics etc)
trades are blocked from the dealine till the end of our playoffs.. this year the deadline was earlier because of the olympics; the precise date is going to be determined later on..
I know there is a salary cap, but is there a cap floor? (minimum)? Not to say that a team would ever be at the minimum during the season, but perhaps during the off-season when trades/signings happen etc
no salary floor whatsoever.
If a team stays
way below the cap till the end of the season, that GM will probably find himself out of the league though.
Are we able to have offer sheets for RFAs?
of course. Read the "-Restricted Free Agents (RFA)" paragraph.
I may need some guidance with the entry draft/determining the year of eligibilty etc, but i'm sure at least i'll do better than albi at keeping prospects
"Any player that has played less than 10 NHL regular season games and born before September 16th 1990 is eligible for the 2008 Entry draft.
The date cut-off will become "born before September 16th 1991" for the 2009 NHL Entry draft (and so on..), whereas the NHL regular season games limit will remain the same."
hence for the upcoming draft born before september 16th 1992.
