Hope everyone had a nice Canadian Thanksgiving!
I've updated the league with a schedule and flipped the switch for the sim to check the rosters more stringently.
I need some tech support for why the GM client is unable to upload lines. I hope that will be sorted out soon. You can still download the league file and save your lines locally for the time being.
The next signing deadline is Oct 18th. A few GMs still need some players to make the 35 signed players mark.
Those of you that spend to cap, you need to ensure that your line up will not cause a salary cap error that stops the sim from working. While I have been mucking around with the rosters to make it work, don't expect the same this year.
There is a long standing rule where a draft pick will be removed for each sim intervention, starting with the first round.
I haven't used it, but I will buyout (50% cap hit over the remaining term) a player that will allow the sim to auto roster without errors, and the draft pick will also be removed. Same goes for those that can't make the cap floor of 70.6 million.
Don't rely on the auto roster to figure out the right mix, it only cares about filling positions.
With regards to my recent concerns, the GMs have acknowledged that they will address their line up by other means. I feel that at least 10 million of total cap between the pro and farm combined, gives you the best chance to stay out of cap trouble. The more the better, but make sure you stay above the cap floor as well.
The current free agents are now up to date. Unassigned Players & Unassigned Goalies.
Thanks
