Looking for serious owners and active managers to start a new Dynasty/Franchise league. It will be a full salary cap & contracts league, starting out using current signed contract values. It will start with using a mix of two current NHL roster teams, based off last year’s final season standings. The league will be managed on Fantrax, and I will create a spreadsheet to manage the contracts, as well as using the forums on Fantrax. Depending on the amount of interest I can get, I would like to have 10 teams, based off the roster of the two teams combined below: WSH-VAN-COL PIT-ARI-NJD CHI-BUF-DET CLB-DAL-FLA MIN-LAK-CAR ANA-WIN-PHI MON-TAM-NYI EDM-NSH-CAL (taken) NYR-TOR-BOS (taken) STL-SJS-OTT
You will select the following from each team, and the rest will go into the player pool which the WSH-FA owner will pick from:
Forwards – 3
Defense – 2
Goalie – 1
Bench – 5 Spots - After all teams are picked, free agency opens with weekly bids to fill your team. Once you sign someone, you cannot drop them without a cap penalty
Propsects – 5 (players that have played less than 50 NHL games to-date) Each Roster will have the following positions:
Centre – 4 active spots
Wingers – 8 active spots
Defense – 6 active spots
Goalie – 2 active spots
Bench – 10 spots
Minors – 25 spots
Initial Contracts will be based off of the current signed value. Each team will have a cap of $125 Million for each season. This cap DOES NOT include rookies drafted and on your minors roster. Minors rosters consist of players not currently on an NHL roster. Once a player is promoted in real life, you have the option to promote them on your roster or leave them in the minors. You cannot send players back to the minors who are currently on an NHL roster.
For signing and re-signing players, we’ll use a scale in terms of contract values based off of where they rank in the Fantrax rankings based off of previous season totals, as follows:
Ranks 1-10 = AAV minimum $12,000,000
Ranks 11-20 = AAV minimum of $10,000,000
Ranks 21-30 = AAV minimum of $8,000,000
Ranks 31-50 = AAV minimum of $7,500,000
Ranks 51-75 = AAV minimum of $5,000,000
Ranks 76-100 = AAV minimum of $3,500,000
Ranks 100-150 = AAV minimum of $2,000,000
Ranks 150-200 = AAV minimum $1,000,000
Ranks 200+ = AAV minimum $575,000
Max contract that can be handed out is 8 years, at any point in the players career. When the player enters RFA, you can re-sign that player without anyone else being able to bid. When the player becomes FA, they go into the weekly auction.
Miscellaneous
If a player sings in the KHL, or any other league, they can be either dropped or added to your minor roster.
If a player retires, that cap hit is removed from your team.
There is no max IR position. IR players count against your cap, other than LTIR – which the player must be put on in real life.
