Begins

Friday, June 1st, 10 am EDST

[kyuss]

Pre season update of the W/C position has been performed: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3663&p=293597#p293597

Please point out in the dedicated thread any due update I might have missed or any mistake.

Reminder for the used criteria:
- FOR threshold set at 0.45 (> .45 ==> C)
- past season FOR determines position for all players above 20gp
- past season FOR also determines position for bbkl-rookies above 10gp


REMINDER: dual positions are not allowed in this league. If you have any player on your roster sporting dual position please point those out in the linked-above thread and I'll address that.

IMPORTANT:
pay attention to your lineup for the first Week and make sure it will be legal on Fantrax by roster lock!

"CC has decided that because of San Jose Sharks GM foofnik waiver claim of Andrej Sustr that put him over 50 contracts, he will be fined his 5th and 6th picks in the upcoming 2019 entry draft (the same penalty that was issued to Columbus GM Dave back in October of 2017).

Sustr will remain the property of the Chicago Blackhawks and will go to the minors, as no other team made a claim for him.

Also, going forward, CC has decided that when a GM puts a claim on a player on waivers, he MUST also show his total number of contracts in the post for the waived player. If he does not do this, the waiver claim will be null and void.

2019 BBKL Trade Deadline

Monday, February 25th - 6pm EST (trade MUST be posted and confirmed) (this is the FINAL week of our regular season also)

[Lee]

Another year, another useless trade dead line. It's not a trade deadline if teams can't trade in the playoffs anyways. It's just the end of the season.

Sorry, I couldn't find the discussion thread to post this in.

Please report before next roster lock any mistakes or omissions, including possibly remaining duals.

Also, GMs have time till next roster lock to ask for reassessment of their players should their FOR move above/below the 0.45 threshold along the remaining games of this week.

Toronto has been using an illegal lineup since week 16 (Jan 14-20)

Justin Braun should have been removed from IR (he was playing again Jan 12)

The CC has discussed and we have decided that there is no other alternative other than to waive Braun retroactive to Week 16

Also, Toronto is fined a 3rd round pick in 2019 entry draft.

(Mike was texted and messaged to allow him to make other changes but we received no reply)

[dave1959]

After CC discussion and voting, I am pleased to announce that Mike (Pittsburgh) is the newest member of the Competition Committee.

Congratulations, and welcome to the group.

Mike Morris has officially stepped down as general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs as he made his intentions known earlier this week. His long-term future with the league is unknown at this time.

We would like to find a replacement GM as soon as possible with the waiver draft, roster submission and the start of the NHL season fast approaching.

Mike is one of our most successful GMs in the league's history as well as being a founding member of the BBKL. He won the BBKL championship in 2014-15. He won the Eastern Conference championship 3 consecutive seasons from 2013-14 to 2015-16. He's also a 3-time winner of the best regular season record.

We'd like to wish Mike all the best and we hope to see him around in the future.

REMINDER:from the rules

Notes
- Be sure to have all your players listed on your roster submission due at the beginning of season (First Roster Lock)(both on Fantrax and your googledoc).
Those missing and not eligible anymore for future BBKL Entry Drafts will be considered FA and eligible for the Waiver draft as a result.
- After the Waiver draft, the unowned NHL-signed players will become available as free agents; however, after rosters submission, those still eligible for the 2019 Entry draft will join the pool of players reserved for it.

[Matthew]

The Roster Submission deadline has been moved back 3 hours until 6pm eastern time, September 29th to allow Scott to input up to date. Information for Google docs.
