1. The JRFHL will expand by 1 team in 2008.
2. There will be an expansion draft for the new GM.
Expansion Draft Rules
a) This draft will take place on the Sunday before July 1st. (June 29/08)
b) All GMs MUST leave 4 players available, that can be of any positions, on the Wednesday before the Sunday. (June 25/08) Players that are retired (Have filed their papers with the NHL) are not eligible to be made available.
c) The expansion GM will now pick a 28 man team from the available players.
d) The expansion GM doesn't have to pick players from the existing teams but if he does can only draft a maximum of 2 players/team.
3. On July 1st the expansion team will be ranked #1 for the free agent period.(Meaning he will have top priority) This is to allow the GM to have at least 1 asset that is not a prospect.
4. In the 1st round of the Prospect Draft the exp. GM will be ranked in 4th place(1 out of the money). This will be the 7th overall pick in 2008. For each subsequent round (2nd through 5th) he will pick 1st overall in each round.
5. In his 1st draft year he will get 4 extra draft picks. In his 2nd draft year he will get 2 extra draft picks.
6. The initial expansion fee will be $50.
7. Choosing an expansion GM
a) Anybody can recommend a future GM but the expansion GM will be decided by a vote (from the BOG changed Jan 2008) by all GMs.
b) If there is a tie using all GMs the votes from the BOG will be the tie-breaker.
c) We will conduct elimination votes till we have 2 remaining candidates for the final vote.
Note....The JRFHL plans on expanding 1 team every year for 5 years. We will use these rules every year. The BOG will re-evaluate the expansion rules 20 games into every season.
