2020 FAF Schedule

[Josh (Philly)]

No players may be posted by GM's until the open period beginning on Oct 14. Until that time the following groups of players will be posted on the assigned day with bidding closed once there is an unmatched bid on a player for 24 hours.

An RC member will create threads for each player on the assigned date, likely before noon EST but times not guaranteed and will be done as soon as possible on the date. Once a thread is created bids may begin on that player and bidding closes after 24 hours of a bid being made and unbeaten, not when the player was posted.

Please read and see what players are coming out in future groups so you don't overbid on the early players, all GM's should b careful to not create future anchors or unmoveable contracts by overspending blindly.

Goalies in each group are at the top of each grouping, the rest are skaters alphabetical by first name.

Free postings for unowned players starting Oct 6

[Josh (Philly)]

Also note if a player receives no bids by the time the next grouping are posted they will be deleted and eligible to be posted anytime once the free period begins October 14.

[GM Buff (Drew)]

Would this apply to tagged players as well or do they get the ‘owner chooses contract‘ status?

[Josh (Philly)]

Yeah I would say if a tagged player gets no bids in the few days after being posted they would then be eligible for any contract per the CBA.

11. Free Agency
    a. Free Agency contract offer rules are as follows:
       i. The minimum bid is $650,000 per year.
       ii. For skaters 35 and older, you can offer a max contract of 3 years.
       iii.For skaters 34 and under, you may offer up to 6 years.
       iv. For goalies 35 and older, you can offer a max contract of 3 years.
       v. For goalies 34 and under, you may offer up to 8 years.
       vi. You must outbid another GM by a minimum of $25,000 in cumulative value.
    b. Salary amounts will remain constant for all seasons of an offer.
    c. Signed players will be placed on an NHLDL team's active roster if they are on an NHL team's active roster. You cannot win players in free agency and then bury them in the minors without them being subject to waivers.
    d. Winning bids will be determined by the highest product of yearly salary multiplied by number of years.
    e. If there are multiple bids on a player, any multi-year bid must have a minimum salary within 70% of the highest yearly salary offered on a player.
    f. A free agency bid standing as the highest bid for a 24 hour bid will be declared the winning bid. Bids cannot be rescinded.
    g. A free agent that is signed and eligible to be placed and is placed in a team's minor roster shall have no cap hit to that team's NHL roster.
    h. If a free agent is won at a given AAV amount and 10% AAV discount applied by the accepted tagging team equates to less than the league minimum salary of $650,000, the winning team shall keep the player at no less than league minimum contract amount of $650,000
