Everyone's spreadsheet is now up to date, matching fantrax. As we approach the start of the season next week, just a few final reminders and league updates.
The league has yet to release (or I haven't seen it yet) their roster submission deadline. I will set it for 11:30PM EST on Tuesday Jan. 12, 2021. At that time any players who are on your minor league roster and do not meet the eligibility requirements will be placed on demotion waivers.
A player may be sent to your minor league roster (AHL) if they satisfy one or multiple of the following conditions:
-The player is in an organization's minor leagues
-The player is in a junior league
-The player is playing in an international league
-The player is still on their entry-level contract (ELC)
Players will remain on waivers for 48 hours. While on waivers they can not be promoted to your NHL roster or traded. If they clear waivers they will remain on your team, on your minor league roster and with a 50% cap hit. If the player is claimed on waivers by another team you are off the hook for their entire contract.
Please remember that waivers for players with AHL or NHL experience are done on Proboards and in order to place a claim on a player you MUST have the available roster spot and available cap space. Players claimed off of demotion waivers will be sent to your NHL roster and will be subject to demotion waivers if you want to send them to your minor roster.
As a reminder, please ignore the green M you see in Fantrax. These are not accurate and do not determine who is eligible for your minor league roster. If you lose a player to demotion waivers that you thought was minors eligible, it will not be reversed. You've been warned several times.
Please remember when moving a player to/from the AHL/NHL or to/from IR, you must post the move to Proboards. You can physically move the player in fantrax, but it MUST be posted to proboards to alert me to update the master sheet and ensure compliance.
Unlike the playoffs, the NHL will reveal when players are out for COVID-19 related issues. If a player is deemed out due to either contracting COVID-19, or because of COVID protocols, you will be allowed to place this player on your IR without the player going on IR in the NHL. IR spots will remain at six (6) for non COVID related issues. You will be awarded an unlimited amount of COVID IR spots.
Per league rules, once a player who is not on an ELC hits 20 career GP, his cap hit counts if he is in your minor league system. Each Monday I will go through your rosters and check to see if any players exceeded 20 career GP in the previous week. If a player goes over the 20 career GP mark and his added cap hit causes you to exceed the salary cap limit, you will have 48 hours from notification by me to become cap compliant.
Several teams still have RFA decisions to make. If you do not accept or decline these by the start of the season the player will go to UFA. Please be sure to double check the RFA thread.
This will be updated in the calendar linked above at some point this week, but here are some of the key dates for the 2020-21 season.
Jan. 13: Start of season
Mar. 15: KPD Trade deadline
Apr. 4: End of KPD regular season
Apr. 5: Start of KPD playoffs
May. 9: End of KPD playoffs
May 10: Expansion draft roster lock date (trades still allowed)
Jul. 17: Expansion draft protected list submission
Jul. 23: Expansion Draft
Jul. 26: 2021 KPD Entry Draft
July 28: Team Tag & Contract extension deadline
Aug. 2: Team Tag bidding
Aug. 11: UFA opens for forwards
Aug. 18: UFA opens for defensemen
Aug. 25: UFA opens for goalies
Please let me know if you have any questions!
