Craig Adams...taking offers.

Are we allowed to make more offers as expansion clubs now that it's open to everyone?

I only missed the Soderberg mark by $1.5 million. lol

Postby **meow** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 12:10 pm

and for that, we thank you.

I figured he'd get low 5 million in real life. Then, to make sure he signs with an expansion club, I figured there would be a fee for that.

Postby **meow** » Fri Jun 26, 2015 1:54 pm

So is no one playing now or do you GMs not want my tasty over 35 players?

I've gotten a few offers. But they seem to have dried up at this point. So let's put the cap on this at 7 pm. Let's make sure we get our answers back to clubs by the then.

Then tomorrow morning we'll open up the next window.

We drafted Matt Cooke prior to his buyout. We contest this signing.

Postby **MR25** » Sat Jun 27, 2015 12:43 am

At the very least, I was under the assumption that the contract status of the players when they were drafted was what we were going by, and Cooke still had the last year on his contract when we drafted him.

Sorry, you're correct. Brain fart on my part.

Postby **count2infinity** » Mon Jun 29, 2015 7:56 am

so, uh... what's going on?

Sorry, got distracted by the actual draft.

If you have not heard back from me (or meow) on a 35+ FA please let me know.

As the draft winds down, everyone should start looking toward Free Agency. To keep some order, mikey and I have drawn up some parameters in which we are going to follow.

Restricted Free Agents -
- RFAs expected to make greater than 900k per season are first.
- - One offer from Teams -> If accepted, deal is signed. If rejected, the deal moves to the back burner until the UFA period settles down.
- - RFAs expected to make less than 900k per season are second.
- Offer sheets can occur after this period.

Unrestricted Free Agents -
- Expansion teams get to offer any three UFAs a contract.
- - Agents either accept or make a counter offer.
- - Teams either accept or make a counter offer.
- - Agents either accept or decline. End of discussion.

- All other teams then get opened up to UFAs.
- - Same rules apply.
- - This will be conducted in age groups.
- - - UFAs 35+ years of age and older.
- - - UFAs 30 - 34 years of age.
- - - UFAs 29 years of age and younger.

The bold and underlined is now open for business.
