I sent everyone the following e-mail. You can use this post as a reference as to how the GMHL will run over the summer:
Hey everybody,
We've completed the re-draft, in record time I might add, so we are ready to restart the GMHL.
As of Saturday, May 5, 2018, at 6 p.m. EDT, the GMHL is open for business. All teams can add/drop whomever they want. You just have to post these transactions on your team transaction page.
For our new GMs, you can find your team transaction page under this board:
Team Transactions
For the first hour only, you have to make a separate post for each player you want to add to your team, so if you want to add three players, you need to make 3 separate entries. This allows all GMs a better opportunity to add a player they want without having just the first poster getting 3 or 4 players before anyone else has a chance to get their add/drop in.
Trades must be posted by 1 GM and accepted by the other GM in order to be considered a valid trade. You can make your trades on the following board:
Trade Announcements
I'll be cleaning up the master roster to reflect all players that will lose their farm eligibility by the time the 2018-19 season begins. You don't have to worry about how many pro/farm players you have until you have to be roster compliant, which will be the weekend prior to the start of the new NHL season. I'll remind everyone well in advance of this date.
We'll be starting our Entry Draft on the same day as the NHL Entry Draft, which starts on June 22, 2018. All teams will be able to make all draft selections they own, even if it means they go over the maximum roster size of 47. You can stay over the maximum roster size until everyone has to be roster compliant (the weekend before the regular season begins).
If you make an unbalanced trade, say a 4:2 trade, that puts you over the maximum roster size, you can stay over the maximum roster size until we have to become roster compliant, you drop an excess player, or you have another trade that puts you back to whatever your roster maximum is.
For example, if you have 4 Entry Draft selections that bring you up to a roster size of 51 and then complete a 4:2 trade, your new maximum roster size would increase to 53. You can stay at 53 players even if you want to add a player, but if you do add a player, you also have to drop a player for every player you add no matter what your roster maximum size is.
Other than the new GMs, the rest of you should all be familiar with this as this is how we've conducted business in the G over the summer. If any of the new GMs have any questions, just ask away on WhatsApp, PM or email and we (Mike T, Ryan, or me - the 3 co-commissioners) will help explain it until you're clear on how this works.
For those of you on WhatsApp, I'll be reposting everyone's contact information soon, so you'll be able to get ahold of whomever you may want to have trade discussions with.
Troy is the only GM that isn't signed up for WhatsApp, so you'll have to email or PM him.
If anyone has any questions about anything, please contact any of the co-commissioners at your convenience.
