Trade deadline details

Post date: Feb 19, 2011 7:56:6 PM

First, I have updated the spreadsheet. I think the old one was broken. Also updated the game-played numbers for the rookies - the rookie-eligible picture is getting clearer by the day.

As for the details how this trade deadline thing works:

• • The NHL trade deadline is Monday, Feb.28, 3:00pm.

  • The NoVarks trade window begins Tuesday, Mar. 1, 3:00pm.

  • The Deadline for submitting trades is Thursday, Mar. 3, 3:00pm.

To announce a trade: (just as this past September)

• • Both GMs involved in a trade must email me the trade details. I must receive the same details from both GMs.

  • I will then mass e-mail the entire league to inform everyone of the trade.

  • For the next 48-hours, the 'other' GMs all have an opportunity to reject the trade (via email - it's up to you whether you want to reply-all or not).

  • You do not need to respond to approve a trade - only to reject a trade.

  • Assuming there there isn't a veto after 48-hours, the trade becomes official. ie. In a typical 2-GM trade, 6 GMs constitutes a majority veto.

  • All trades will be 'processed' Saturday, with stats counting for Sunday, Mar. 6th's games and onward.

This is kind of made up as we go, so if you see a serious problem with this, talk to me soon.
