When main draft completes every team should clean up their spreadsheet.
Phase 1 (RFA Bidding)
We will do 1 week total for Center and Defence and then 1 week total for Wingers and goalies. We will create a thread for each applicable guy and let the mayhem commence with winner take all bidding. After 24 hours without a valid bid we will lock the thread. When we lock the thread the rights owner has 48 hrs to match on the player in the completed RFA bids thread. Players not receiving any bids will be flushed to Phase 5
Phase 2 (Finalize Contract years)
At this point we will need to set our rosters and spread around our 60 contract years and specify who is captains or maybe you don't want to captain someone this year. During this time (probably a week) you will need to set who is on your team and who is in your minors and your spreadsheet should be accurate. The mods will check over the spreadsheets to ensure all the contract years are and will make a copy of the initial starting roster.
Phase 3 (UFA Bidding)
Then a similar bidding process for drafted UFA. Teams need to have proper compensation available for all winning bids. After 24 hours of no bids we will lock the thread and perform the fantrax trade and compensation (if applicable). We will allow 2 weeks for all bids. Players not receiving any bids will be flushed to Phase 5
Phase 4 (Roster Finalized)
All teams can make 4 free drops. We will enable waivers after this phase for GMs trying to move guys between the roster and minors so please have everyone set. We will turn on cap hits for guys in the minors with 2m or more cap hit. Seriously monitor your cap hits as it would really suck to be required to trade someone or buy out a player before the season even starts.
Phase 5 (FFA UFA bidding)
Now we will open up the option for teams to sign all unclaimed players. GMs can create a post with the same rules for bidding with one exception. We will have a signing priority list similar to the waiver list meaning two teams can make the same bid. All bids won have to join your active roster and cannot go to your minors without clearing waivers (exception being players under 82gp) Max player limit is 55 and it will be wise to keep a couple empty slots for future use.
