During this time you have the choice to use an emergency replacement from the minors (waiver eligible) who is protected from waivers. Once the injured player has returned the emergency callup must be returned back to the minor leagues. You could also call-up 2 players if there total cap hit does not exceed the one of the injured player on LTIR and you do not exceed the 23 man roster. These rules only apply to waiver eligible players with relation to LTIR. Using a waiver free player or players, you can do as you please as long as you follow the 23 man rule.
You can only call-up an emergency player that has a cap hit equal to or lesser value than the injured player or two players that have a combined cap hit of equal or lesser value than the player placed on LTIR .

-cannot trade assets you don't own
-cannot trade assets potentially owed ( involved) in a condition from previous deals
-cannot put a condition over another one (a deal can have more than 1 condition, however a condition can not impact another condition)
- no trade-backs are allowed.
- if it's perceived that GMs are using gambling to circumvent the rules that will be considered worthy of a pre-warning for a warning towards removal.
- only conditions on the following are allowed:
Retirement, contract signings in NHL or overseas
GP in NHL regular season
Pick protection
BBKL team final results (final RS standings or playoff outcome)
player winning a major NHL award
Any detail and possible scenario of the deal needs to be clearly reported in the thread starter announcing the deal.

Dallas will also receive a warning for not posting anything at all.
To those teams who have been fined, please post the picks that are to be dropped in this thread. If you don't have one now, trade for one in a reasonable amount of time.
Mike wrote:It is with regret that I inform you that Frank is being removed as the GM of the Calgary Flames. After a CC vote the majority of members support his removal. This is Frank's second removal. Having already used up three warnings, he was afforded re-entry under the condition of a tight leash (a single warning).
A few days ago a member disclosed to the admin team that they had seen Jeff Finger placed on waivers by Frank. Soon after, they noticed that the post in question had been removed. After looking in to the matter, the admin team PM'd Frank, who repeatedly denied doing so. Evidence was then found which confirmed Frank had indeed waived Finger and attempted to hide the waiving. This act, coupled with the dishonesty shown by the offending GM, have left the CC with no choice but to vote for his dismissal.
Calgary will now be, like Colorado, under the control of the league (perhaps a volunteer?) until a suitable replacement can be found.

SensFanJosh is the new Calgary GM.
Congrats and good luck!.. he clearly needs it with that team.
His trade buddy has yet to be officially determined, but should happen shortly.
Nick wrote:7-1.1 : A new GM will be assigned a trade advisor to ease the entrance into the BBKL trade environment. This trade advisor will help the new-GM plan how they are going to shape their roster.
Trade advisors can not be from the same division of the new GM (if possible should be from the other conference) and will not involve their own roster with the new-GM's dealings in anyway for 3 additional roster locks after the two week trade freeze, this includes the planning of future trades.
- Once the 2week trade freeze period is over, deals completed in the following roster (7 days at least) lock must be approved by the trade advisor before being posted. If the new GM can't contact his advisor, the trade ombudsman (see 7-1.2) will temporarily act as the trade advisor and make the decision to approve, deny, or delay for trade advisor to return. The following 2 roster locks (14 days) the new GM will have complete control over his own roster, but the trade advisor will still be a confound-free voice, not involving their roster with any trade discussions with the new GM for a total of 5 weeks (2+1+2).
- Once the waiting period is over, the new-GM has every right to back off from a deal he previously agreed on (without being called out for that, ANY deal talked about during the first 3 weeks of the new GM tenure should not be considered final nor should it be brought up in an offensive manner versus the newcomer).
7-1.2 : In the event that a new GM is looking to have a trade approved but their formally named advisor (7-1.1) is absent and unable to respond for 12 hours, for any reason, a trade ombudsman will temporarily have approval, rejection, or delay for actual advisor power.
- If the newGM is in the western conference, then Billy will be the ombudsman
- If the newGM is in the eastern conference, then Anton will be the ombudsman
- Similar to the formal advisor, the ombudsman will not reference or involve their own roster in any way while in an advisor role.
The purpose of the trade buddy is to get the new GM into the community as pain-free as possible; this means player value, our rules, and what's best for the BBKL. Own team interest MUST be set aside in this circumstance. Violating this should be a warning for removal. The idea here is to be the rational voice for the new, often emotional and zealous GM who is being over-whelmed with offers, being told 8 different ways how each move helps him, being encouraged to make a deal to 'make his team his own', etc. It does not mean slow them down and hold them back, it means keeping assets and value in the organization, the BBKL needs to protect its franchises.
-------------------
Note: The trade advisor is the FIRST line of defence for the BBKL to protect its own best interest, in addition to rule 7-4 if the trade advisor feels the GM is unfit for duty as a BBKL GM the situation will be taken to league office for discussion (Advisor + CC + Admin).
Advisor Qualifications: must be competent in understanding the CBA and the nature of the rules, should demonstrade strong trade history and perhaps even the ability to manage a team UP the BBKL ranks -> tenure must exceed 1 calendar year, zero infractions currently of concern and of course must agree to fulfill rule 7-1.1 in purest sense (their team should not come up even 1 step removed from the new-GMs). Should be from the opposite conference, definitely different division.
Take away: NewGM & advisor: 2 week freeze, 1week approval needed, 2 week still cannot trade w/advisor but 100% own decisions. 5 week new GM review/advisor period.
Remember that to be credited with the position switch the eligible player (see above) must satisfy both following conditions:
1) the number of NHL games he has played during the current RS has to be in between 26-29
2) his corrispondent FOR for the current season must be below 0.3
The CC agreed as a whole that intentional tanking to the point of not dressing EITHER active goalie was excessive and against our mandate:
..That our rules be enforced in a impartial manner to ensure a fair even playing field for all of our members. Lastly that all of our GMs manage their clubs at a competent and competitive level.
Because we feel so heavily and unanimously we've decided that the immediate fix is a forced-roster adjustment, wherein the starter (in this case believed to be Carey Price) is dressed. No punishment will be made to Chuck as there is no 'hard rule' he ignored, however this rule is forthcoming.
We also added a more specific regulation over non competitive managing:
"GMs are expected to dress each week the best possible lineup available under their current roster; the league won't question discrectionary decisions, but whenever it's obvious a GM is not acting accordingly with the aforementioned purpose and, more in general, with the ones of the rules, the league will have the duty of taking away the eventual resulting advantages, besides fining and/or warning the offending GM."
In this circumstance, putting back into the lineup the only #1 G available (default decision, would have been Schneider if Price was not available) prevents both MTL and PIT from getting the supposed advantage out of this situation, safeguarding a fair playing field.
We hope that Chuck, and league, understand that this is a decision made for the group of 30, for the quality of what we have here.
