New Season!

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Ok, just a couple of gentle reminders now that the season has started:

1. I loaded a bunch of new sets of lines last night, even for teams that did not play. There are still issues with incorrect lines, with players double shifting and whatnot. Please carefully go over your lines to make sure they are correct. I don't have time to fix your lines and will auto-line any that are incorrect.

2. Check the new line rules here: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4811#p41205. Exceeding the combined NZT + H&G total seems to be our early problem.

3. No more than 3 under-20 players on the farm. 1994 birthdates are excluded.

4. No more than 50 player contracts between pro, farm, and juniors. I will keep repeating this until I don't need to. Or start releasing players myself.

Ok. Dad's going back to sleep now.

Quick question......

23 NHL player
23 AHL players

That would only leave room for 4 specs/Jrs

That would mean that every team, on average would have to dump like 8-10 specs/jrs...........

Like even your team NYR would have to dump like 13 specs/jrs

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Players WITH contracts. Unsigned juniors do not count.

[Singin the BLUES]

ahhh ok....sorry

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Plus you can have more than 23 AHL players. Just fyi.

[MinnesotaGM]

Lines should be fixed sorry bout that

[Buffalo LEPS]

Should be 50 contracts and 23 players NHL for Buffalo now

[BlackHawk Down (Seb)]

I have just sent my lines...first time ever !
Feel free to give any feedbacks if things aren't done properly.

[Washington GM]

what's the salary cap?

[SharksGM]

64.0000 million dollars

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Some time back I promised rewards for GMs who wrote up team previews for the 14-15 season. I never did follow-up on that, but I am here to do so now. And give everyone until Friday to post said previews. Anyone wanting to post needs to produce something that's more than just a list of players, but it does not have to be a long and eloquent work of prose, especially for those of you for whom English is a second (or third? or even first, actually) language. Rewards will be simple but hopefully worthwhile, like some ceiling points, con points, things like that. And for prospects or players under a certain age only.

[SharksGM]

Oh hey, it's like early Christmas.

Do I get a bonus for writing an article before there was mention of rewards, then writing another article after being promised rewards, and then not complaining about it when the awards never materialized? I accept fresh-baked cookies.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Everyone gets a trophy.

[SharksGM]

Participant with distinction! Yessss.

[Singin the BLUES]

Is this a team preview in the thread on this board? Or in Gm office?

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Is this a team preview in the thread on this board? Or in Gm office?

Either one. But you should provide a link to GMO if you do it there.

Where should I be providing a link?

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

In the Team News forum.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Dan....that pic on your GMO news page. Wow.

[SharksGM]

Dan....that pic on your GMO news page. Wow.

You didn't notice it on the front page for two weeks or so?

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Confession: I rarely go to the front page. Usually just straight to the forums.

[flyergp21]

Hey boys, I'd like to mention that I also did a team preview, I want my reward too!

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Hey boys, I'd like to mention that I also did a team preview, I want my reward too!

Everybody gets a $5 salary cap boost and coupons to Tim Hortons.

[Singin the BLUES]

Didnt know that Tim Hortons had coupons.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Didnt know that Tim Hortons had coupons.

From their own website:
"Tim Hortons does not participate in coupon or discounting programs as part of our national advertising strategy. Our focus is to offer our guests every-day, value-priced, quality products."

Well okay then.

[Singin the BLUES]

I only said that because i go to Tim Hortons at least twice a day and have never seen them hand out coupons nor have i ever gotten any in the mail those cheap ass bastards

Was there any follow up on that Mr. Commish ?

[SharksGM]

Your reward is EXTRA PRACTICES... in real life. Do 50 pushups and 50 situps.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Everyone gets a cookie.

Seriously...coming soon.

[Vik (Habs)]

Can I do them once a day for 50 days? Because otherwise I don't think it's happening.
