8) Waiver Wire Procedure:
a) The “Waiver Period” shall be from Opening night thru to the trade deadline of any given season.
b) A free agent available for waivers shall be described as any player who has played 25 or more games for skaters or 20 games for goaltenders in the NHL, is signed in the N.H.L. and is not on any GM’s roster during the “Waiver Period”.
c) Not unlike the real N.H.L., we shall process waiver claims which would see the team with the lowest point total have first priority. However, if two teams are tied in the standings and they both have a waiver claim for the same player the tie breaker will be 1) lower amount of goals 2) lower games played 3) lower amount of shots 4) coin flip.
d) No matter how many players on a farm team a GM MUST drop a player to the waiver list to sign a free agent.
e) All players dropped will be available for the next week’s waivers.
f) Waiver claims shall be processed on Wednesdays at 7am. A GM may put in an offer sheet for up to 3 players but only 1 player may be claimed per week. (e.g. Team X <9th> puts in an offer for 1 Daigle,2 Turgeon,3 Lindros; Team Y <6th> wants 1Daigle, 2 Lindros, 3 Turgeon; Team Z <5th> wants 1 Daigle, 2 Grier, 3 Lindros; Team W <1st> wants 1 Grier, 2 Lindros, 3 Daigle. Here is how it plays out. The lowest team <X> would receive Daigle. 2nd lowest <Y> gets Lindros. 3rd lowest <Z> gets Grier. Team <W> would not receive anybody for his offered players are all chosen. Turgeon would not be picked.
g) There will be a priority list for the bottom 5 Franchises by points. The original order will start with the first Wednesdays standings. Any time one of those teams makes a Free Agent pick up they move to the back of the 5 team priority list. If at any time one of the bottom 5 get enough points to move into 6th last, their position will be held in case they move back into the bottom 5. If that GM picks up a free agent (while 6th last or higher) that saved position will be forfeited.
9) Free Agent Signing Procedure:
a) The “Free Agent Signing Period” shall be from the first Wednesday after and including July 1 thru to the Opening eve.
b) A free agent shall be the same as a Waiver Wire free agent. (rule 8b)
c) The Free Agent Priority List shall start with the final standings of the given year.
d) If a team, in any order of the priority list, sends the league a request to sign a free agent, and is successful, he shall then be sent to the bottom of the priority list.
e) If more than 1 team sends a request to sign the same player then the free agent priority order shall decide who shall receive that player.
f) Free Agent claims shall be processed on Wednesdays at 7am. Rule 8f shall apply to this procedure as well.
g) If a Franchise is under the 28 player max the GM doesn’t have to drop a player to pick up a free agent until he hits the 28 player max.
a) The “Waiver Period” shall be from Opening night thru to the trade deadline of any given season.
b) A free agent available for waivers shall be described as any player who has played 25 or more games for skaters or 20 games for goaltenders in the NHL, is signed in the N.H.L. and is not on any GM’s roster during the “Waiver Period”.
