Hey everybody,
We're still a bit of a ways away from the EL Player Draft, but I figured I'd make a league address anyways, because there ARE some things to talk about. As I do every year, I need to check with every owner that you're still interested in participating in the league for another season. So, I'm asking each member to contact me in some way (email me at Aluker22@gmail.com, or PM me on the boards, or contact me through some other means if you prefer, just let me know) to let me know if you're in or not. I know a number of you personally, but others I do not. But, everyone in this pool has at least 1 other person that they know personally, so I'd ask you to approach anyone you know in the pool to make sure they see this email, and for them to get back to me. I'll be making this a post on the message boards as well, with a running list of those managers who have gotten back to me.
Now that we're heading into the 4th year of this pool, it seems like we're really shaping up a good core of managers. That being said, life is life, and this pool is a bit of an undertaking, so let me assure you that there are no hard feelings if you think you've run your course with the Dynasty Hockey League. If you're just not up for another year, there's no problem in that! We've enjoyed having you, and if you ever get the itch to play again, maybe we can get you back in some season in the future.
For those of you returning:
As some of you already know, I've moved the spreadsheet forward completely to the 2014. You can find it HERE. So, you can now look at how your roster looks going into the first stage of next season, which is the EL Player Draft.
You'll notice on your individual team tab that I've positioned every TERM player, and any EL Player who has already previously had their salary activated. Any EL Players that didn't meet the Minimum Games Played mark last season, or any EL Players who HAS met the Minimum Games Played mark BUT has yet to be officially activated, has been placed into the MINORS. This way, it gives everyone time to decide whether or not they want to officially activate any of their EL Players or not. Personally, I'd advise you all to just keep them in the MINORS until you feel you NEED to activate them, but you can do as you please. Once you tell me you officially activate them though, there's no going back, and that player's salary will continue to count against your salary cap.
Just a reminder: If a player has "Y $X" listed in their Min. Games column on the spreadsheet, the number following the $ is the salary that player will collect IF they are activated. Any EL Player in the MINORS right now doesn't count against your salary unless they are activated. If a player has an "N" in the Min. Games column, that player will cost you $0 this season, no matter what, and doesn't need to be officially activated to utilize.
Also, I've re-added the "New Free Agents" tab, where you can see all the TERM players whose contracts have expired, and will be available for bidding during this year's Free Agency window. The list is alphabetical, and includes the player's former annual salary and the team the player previously played for.
