Hey folks,
The NHL's Trade Deadline is Friday, March 8th at 3:00pmET/NoonPT. I'd like to schedule our "Roster Deadline" (trade/signing deadline) for the same day, but 12 hours later (Saturday, March 9th at 2:59amET/Friday, March 8th at 11:59pmPT). This will let everyone see how the NHL trade deadlines settles, and give us a further half day to react and make deals ourselves, while still leaving a final day of games in one match, then 2 full matches, winding down the regular season towards the Wuest Memorial Trophy Playoffs.
This would set the EL Reclamation Deadline to the week before, as usual. Further details about each deadline can be found at the bottom of this post.
EL Reclamation Deadline - Sat Mar 2nd at 2:59amET / Fri Mar 1st at 11:59:59pmPT
Roster Deadline - Sat Mar 9th at 2:59amET / Fri Mar 8th at 11:59:59pmPT
EL Reclamation Deadline:
Essentially, any players EL RELEASED after the specified date and time of the EL Reclamation Deadline will be ineligible to be re-signed by the team that released them (at least until the Free Agency Bidding Window reopens in the off-season). EL Players can still be EL RELEASED as normal beyond the deadline (teams regain the roster slot and funds from EL RELEASING a valid player), but are essentially off-limits to the team that did choose to let them go. The EL RELEASED player is available for bidding by other teams up until the Roster Deadline, but if done so, that player cannot be traded to any team through to the Roster Deadline (to prevent any acts of collusion).
Roster Deadline:
This deadline continues to operate as per usual. By the deadline, any trades must either have been posted in the TRADE section of the message board OR have accepted by both parties on FanTrax. If the details of the trade have been posted on the message board, but not yet confirmed by the 2nd party, the trade will still be allowed as long as the 2nd party follows up with confirmation within a reasonable timeline. As long as one of these steps has been completed, the rest of the process can be dealt with legally afterwards. Likewise by the deadline, all player auctions must have been started on the message boards, including a valid opening bid. The auctions may continue past the deadline as other possible bids come in, but no new auctions may be started after the deadline has passed.
Beyond this point, rosters are essentially frozen until around the DHL EL Player Draft.
If anyone has questions or needs clarification, please post here on the message boards, or feel free reach out to me in private.
Thanks everyone, and good luck.
