Free Agency
A player is a UFA when- He is 26 years or older
A player is a RFA when- He is 25 or younger.
RFA
When offering on RFA's remember these key facts.
-The team who owns the player's rights have the right to match any offersheet.
-If they don't match the offersheet then said player officially becomes a member of your team and can not be traded until the next season.
RFA compensation:
1Mil - Less - No Comp
1Mil - 1.5 - 3rd
1.5Mil - 3Mil - 2nd
3Mil - 4.5Mil - 1st & 3rd
4.5Mil - 6Mil - 1st, 2nd & 3rd
6Mil - 8Mil - 2; 1sts, 2nd, 3rd
8Mil+ - 4; 1sts
Salary Cap
The Salary Cap is 64.3 million
The Cap Floor is 43 million
If you are over the cap ceiling or under the cap floor then you will be faced with the following punishments.
1st time- You will be given a warning
2nd time- Your best player will be benched or if you are rebuilding then your best young player will be benched.
3rd time- Another player will be benched
4th time- You will forfeit your upcoming 2nd round pick
5th time- You will be fired
Buyouts and Cap Penalties
If you buyout a player, you will still be charged half of that players contract for the rest of the season. Example you buy out a 5mil player, 2.5mil will still be on your cap hit for the rest of the season. If you buyout a player AFTER the trade deadline, this penalty will take affect the following season.
If you send down or have players in the AHL with a contract higher than 900k, the remaining cap hit after 900k is subtracted will count against your NHL cap. For example, you send down a player with a 1.5mil contract, 600k will be put against your cap. This prevents some bidding wars and useless contracts, and also makes you have to deal with the contracts you sign and not just bury them in the AHL.
ESL code of conduct
Activity
1. Activity is mandatory. This is a chatzy active league so attempt to pop in as much as possible. Unless you notify of vacation or such, if you are away for 3 days, or 72 hours, your team will be stripped from you.
2. You must post the basics(lines, trade block) within a few days of getting your team. It depends what state of the season we are in, but generally it takes a few minutes and is not that hard to do!
Shoutbox
1. Do not Spam the Shoutbox-could possible get banned!
Chatzy
1. Do not spam the chatzy
2. Avoid arguing or fighting
3. Failure to these two simple rules could result in a short ban from chatzy
Overall please no drama or disrespecting another GM. It's a game and no one should be able to ruin it for others.
Transactions Guidelines
1. Waivers - if you're attempting to send a player to the minors who is waiver eligible age( 24 and older are waiver eligible) then post the waiver thread as well. It will NOT go through if you do not. ALSO - please post as a send down and a waiver -->makes it much easier for the simmer. 24 hour waiving period.
2. Position Changes - Players have zero to one alternative position and it is only those two positions they play. If you need to know a players alternative position, a) Download EHM and grab a roster update - the file is edited but not the positions or b) Ask the simmer/other people who have the game
3. Buyouts - If you plan on buying out a player, you retain half their cap for the given season and the following season. Players who are 35+ can not be bought out!

Tanking
While a healthy rebuild may be whats needed for most teams, if you build a team that is simply incompetent for the ESL, you may face consequences. ESL has applied a 55 point rule, so all teams, rebuilding or not, must hit this bench mark to be included in the draft lottery. You will also be pushed back 4 spots in the draft order, preventing a top 5 pick. So its better for you to just do well enough to make 55 points and worry about high picks after. This ensures no one goes out of their way to get a player like Connor McDavid, and everyone has a more fair shot.
