In Free Agency, Philly has signed Niclas Wallin to a two year deal worth 1.45 million dollars. There are slight rumblings that other players may be dropped out in hopes to change Philly's fortunes.
Supastas approached Milan Hedjuk as well but the two sides are still in discussions as the money is not quite right.
*Note: For this season (while we develop a signing process), contracts for free agents MUST be a minimum of what the NHL contract is.*
We kinda missed/forgot about the last free agency period scheduled January 8th, 2010 or no one wanted any one. Anyways with the fairly low demand there's no point to have these scheduled free agency periods and will now be open every sim day. As long as you submit your free agent offers (*.SHF file) to the free agent forum before sim time, you should be able to see the results in time for the next sim.
Well by now most of us (not me!
Even with all the early season tampering allegations, it appears the two GMs are in bed together again and have worked out their first deal for their respective clubs.
Aviators have shipped Mikael Samuelsson to the Worgs for their 4th round pick in the current prospects draft.
Hope you all had a great holiday season.
BFHL is ready to start simming again on the 4th. Note that during the break, the sim program released an update so be sure to download the latest client version 1.1.7. Get it under item 1 of the League Files.
A few things to update you here:
The Storm are going about collecting picks in the upcoming prospects draft, now receiving the Nokians 5th round pick in the prospects draft in exchange for young defender Davis Drewiske.
No doubt Storm GM, Brian Yip, sees a lot of value in the upcoming Prospects draft and intends to mold the future of his team with these youngsters!
Storm makes a move......
Alright, usually for me, hockey doesn't take holidays ;)
But as there seems to be some popular demand for not having the weight of BFHL on our shoulders during the holiday season, we won't be simming the dates from December 21, 2009 to January 1, 2010.
In addition, as a gift, we will sim five rest days to give some of your guys a chance to heal up. Check the shout box for when this has been done. Probably sometime on Monday. Note you really should be watching your players minutes if you haven't been, to avoid this 'Exhaustion' injury.
Alright, second time in a week that the sim has been messed up because of inattention to a teams' roster. We don't want this league to be a burden on anyone however, it's not unreasonable to at least do a quick check up on your team once a week. the sim runs Monday to Friday at 850pm PST.
There have been a couple instances where people are asking why they are over cap in the farm when they think they shouldn't.
In this season of BFHL, everyone is on a two way contract. Note that players that have played 25 pro games will have their contracts pernamently turned into one way contracts. No more 90% discount!
