Alright folks, trade deadling for us is coming up March 9th! Figure out whether you're buying or selling and post up your trades!
Do realize that the dynamics involving a trade is not going to be same as the NHL... we all do tend to over value our players :) We have 10 less teams than the NHL and adding a guy who's really good in the dressing room is probably not going to help our teams out that much in this sim. We also have the unique view point of being able to see how our players are doing for the next BFHL season :) (*cough* Clarkson is for sale)
Also we've never written it down anywhere but the trade deadline acts as an eligiblity limit for player participation in the playoffs. It makes sense for us to formally extend this rule as the Free Agency Signings deadline. Thanks to those that asked for this clarification.
Finally, we do want to do some kind of reward for the higher performing teams. (Thanks again for those asking for more perks). Naturally, players would want to go to the good teams! Not yet official but it could look something like this starting next year
- BFHL Cup winner gets first chance signing at one player of their choosing in free agency
- BFHL Cup winner and the two conference winners get second chance signings at one player of their choosing in free agency.
- Probability of resigning would be in effect (no 100% guarantees).
Feel free to discuss this further in the commments.
