EHEC Trade Deadline Day 2012

[Virtual Jarmo]

Happy Trade Deadline Day, boys. Well, in 3.5 hours anyway.

1. As in years past, I will invoke the "One Committee Member Approval Rule" for trades. That, more often than not, will be just me. This is only applicable to minor deals. Bigger trades will require a 2/3 vote of approval. The backup trade Committee could also be called upon.

2. The EHEC Trade Deadline will be 11 pm EST, as posted in the updates thread yesterday. Have all deals posted by then.

3. EHEC's NHL Trade Deadline chat set to open at www.ehechockey.com at 11 a.m. EST. Will run until after the trade deadline passes. Make sure I know who you are when you go to talk. I have to approve your comments the first time, so make sure I know who I'm approving.

4. EHEC Trade Deadline Chat will be set to run from 8-11:30 pm EST. Odds are, Ryan will sim within that timeframe as well.

5. Remember that to be eligible for February's activity rewards, you must show up to one or both of the chats and be a "contributing member". So, don't just show up and be quiet. I'm sure we'll be discussing all kinds of things.

6. All salary cap numbers are updated in the thread in the League Memos forum. Please be aware of them tomorrow when making your deals.

See you guys in the morning. Please be patient with the approving of trades as they could come fast and heavy.

Any player outside of Matt Duchene with an expiring contract is available for teams looking for a cheap rental. I'm looking for draft picks. Shoot me a PM.

[SharksGM]

Will trade SJ 1st for whoever can find Peter Forsberg. Upgrade to STL 1st if you find his broken ankle + spleen.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Front page chat is open.

[GM Office Q]

I'll put Parise available for an overpayment. Looking for a replacement forward, a top pairing defenseman, and maybe a pick.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Thanks to those of you who participated. The EHEC Trade Deadline chat is set to go off at 8 pm. Please try to keep your negotiations private, unless you're talking publicly for a purpose.

[GM Office Q]

An update to the teams that inquired about Parise so I don't have to PM everyone again: I'll be back on between 8 and 9 PM ET (live chat, and will respond to PMs) until a trade is complete or until the 11 PM deadline.

[Virtual Jarmo]

EHEC Trade Deadline chat is now open!

[Virtual Jarmo]

Sorry guys. Because of the time it takes to do the pro-rated salaries (I want to check salary cap numbers tomorrow afternoon) and the fact that it's 12:15, I'm going to do this stuff tomorrow. I'll try and do it in the morning, but if not, I'll do it in the early afternoon. I should have it done by 3 pm, and I'll be sure to let you guys know to download the file.

As a reminder, if you want your newly-acquired players in the lineup for tomorrow night's sim, hit Continue to Next Day before setting your lines. Then save your lines normally and upload them in the GMCP. It takes an overnight for the players to be available in the lines, despite being available in the Players/Staff tab.

Sorry for the delay. I've just had enough for one day.

New file with all trades entered is uploaded.

Sorry again for the delay. Remember to Continue to Next Day before putting your lines together if you made any trades yesterday.

Don't be sorry you fool! You're a machineee. Thanks for all the work you put in lately.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Forgot the WPG/CGY deal in the upload.

Doesn't affect most of you, but the file is now officially finished regarding yesterday's trade deadline.

Checking cap numbers and then will fix the front page.

Zach Parise is disgruntled and demands a trade.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Thanks to Ryan, I realized that I resigned the GMs for the first four games tonight so I could try out my new lines. My apologies. Newly uploaded file is correct.

Not my day apparently.

Protip: Moving your next game to the top of the day's list in schedule.ehm is often less effort than resigning GMs, at least for me where my games are almost always at the bottom of the list.

I've always wondered if EHM results are any different if all teams have assigned GMs vs just one. Guess we'll never know.

Great tip man, thanks !

Teach me how to do this Dan. I'm in the exact same situation.
Remember I'm retarded though.

Just open schedule.ehm, find the list of games for the day you want, cut out the two lines with your team's game and paste it at the top of the list. Then you don't need to worry about simming other games because yours will come first.

You might still want to resign any GMs that have popup messages about players passing through waivers/graduating from prospects status/etc.

Once the numbers are fixed, I can't save the notepad file anymore ...

Might have something to do with the fact that I now have to run EHM as administrator, since it's the only way my game does not load Feb.18.

What the fuck was up on February the 18th?

You must have screwed up the permissions on your EHM folder, so it won't let you modify any files in it unless you're running programs as administrator.

Sucks to be me.
