[Bruyns]

Josh slid Ehlers who is 2nd line W for the Jets to start the year, but he isn't trying to lose and in this league he can activate him whenever he wants.

All Slid

[Bruyns]

we can active someone with a sliding contract?

Yes check the rules, I believe without looking it up we can activate any players that are slid, but can not re-slide them.

To Steve's question, no I think they must slide to start the year.

So what you're saying is, i'm better off sliding them now and then if i want them, un-sliding them?

If you need contract spots, which I don't think you do.

[Bruyns]

PLAYERS ELIGIBLE FOR SLIDE:
- 18 and 19 years old players (i.e. not turned 20 yet) as of October 1st who have not played 10 NHL games in their career yet.
- players with 0 NHL games that get signed during the season

HOW IT WORKS
GMs can leave those players without a contract on googledoc so that their contracts do not count towards the limit (50).
Whenever a GM decides to put one of those players in the active roster (lineup or bench) he needs to add his contract on googledoc and as a result from that moment onward that player will automatically add to the total number of contracts.
Once a player is given a contract on googledoc he loses his sliding eligibility for the rest of the season.
(googledocs are locked by Mike after each week so we would have records of GMs cheating on that)

[Mike]

Note that I don't actually lock the google docs anymore, too much work chasing everyone down, so people can cheat this.

There are a lot of things that can be cheated like putting in the wrong salary, but I'd like to think people aren't that dishonest to try and gain an advantage in a free league.

Other solution is making players with 10GP+ in the NHL no longer slide eligible to allow for 9GP auditions in the NHL.

yes (Bruyns is correct)

the only situation where it doesn't make sense to slide those eligible is if you want to use such players right from the start, like in my case with Larkin.

Even if a GM has a lot of open contract spots, letting the contract slide for a player in the minors could still help his trade value along the season, cause his contract could be an issue for a different team.

one note:
this was written before Mike made new spreadsheets with a dedicated column for the slides.
Now you actually only need not to add the contract for players with 0 NHL games that get signed during the NHL season (so, for the 2nd type of players eligible to slide).
For the first type (18 and 19 years old players (i.e. not turned 20 yet) as of October 1st who have not played 10 NHL games in their career yet) you just have to set the 's' in the role column after adding their contract
