The 2020-2021 season will be open for business on June 25, 2020, at 5:00 p.m. EDT.
The only changes that we are going to implement this year are to increase the roster size to 46 players total, of which no more than 26 can be pro players, and increase the games played for farm goalie eligibility to 75 games played or less. We are going to add 1 bench position to better let you manage your team and we are going to increase the farm size by 3 players. These changes are in effect immediately.
For the 1st hour only, you must make a separate post for each player you want to add to your team, so if you want to add 3 players, you need to make 3 separate posts. This allows all GMs a better opportunity to add a player they want without having just the 1st poster get 3 or 4 players before anyone else has a chance to get their adds/drops in.
All trades must be posted by 1 GM on Proboards and accepted by the other GM in order to be considered a valid trade. You can make your trades on the following board:
Trade Announcements
Soon, I'll be cleaning up the master roster to reflect all players that will lose their farm eligibility by the time the 2020-2021 season begins. You don't have to worry about how many pro/farm players you have until you have to be roster compliant, which will be the weekend prior to the start of the new NHL season. I'll remind everyone well in advance of this date.
We'll be starting our Entry Draft on the same day as the NHL Entry Draft, the date of which still has yet to be decided. All teams will be able to make all draft selections they own, even if it means they go over the maximum roster size of 46. You can stay over the maximum roster size until everyone has to be roster compliant, which will be the weekend before the regular season begins.
If you make an unbalanced trade, say a 4:2 trade, that puts you over the maximum roster size, you can stay over the maximum roster size until we have to become roster compliant, you drop an excess player, or you have another trade that puts you back to whatever your roster maximum is.
For example, if you have 4 Entry Draft selections that bring you up to a roster size of 50 and then complete a 4:2 trade, your new maximum roster size would increase to 52. You can stay at 52 players even if you want to add a player, but if you do add a player, you also have to drop a player; however, you only have to drop a player if you have 46 players or more on your roster.
If you have any questions about anything, one of the co-commissioners is usually around.
