One transaction deadline: tba 10 AM PT. If you are late, you will protect one less player.

You must leave your six (6) protected players by the deadline as well as any trades.

No free agent picks. The transaction results and protected players will be up on the transaction web page by Saturday afternoon.

Once you email in your transactions and protected list you may not change it.

Your protection players can be any combination of your current roster or players obtained in trades.

However, all players obtained in trades must be protected. No money or players to be named later will be allowed. However, you may trade your 1^st or 2^nd draft picks for player(s). Only your 1^st and 2^nd.

All players obtained in these trades must be protected.

There is a limit on how many draft picks you can have in the first two rounds,>FOUR!

When you trade a draft pick for a player you can protect that player in addition to the original 6. Only one player extra per draft pick. Those extra players can come from your original roster but you must remember to protect all players acquired in your trades. If the draft picks cancel out (e.g. you trade your first pick and a player for a player and there 2nd pick), then you would NOT be able to protect an extra player and those players here have to be included in your original protection list. When I accumulate all the trades, if two teams exchange draft picks (1 for 1) even though the trades were separate, the picks would cancel out and you could not protect an extra player. But if TEAM A trades their two draft picks and any combination of players to TEAM B for one draft pick and any combination of players, 1 draft pick from each would cancel out, but TEAM A would protect one additional player because of the extra draft pick traded away.

Also, if TEAM A trades its two draft picks to TEAM B for one player, then TEAM A would protect 8 players, 7 from its original roster and the one player acquired in the trade. All these examples are assuming no other transactions were performed.

Only your two original draft picks may be traded away. Not draft picks acquired in trades.

You can have no more than 4 picks in the first two rounds.

You may put one player on your IR. The player must be out for a minimum of 8 weeks on a report from a well-known source. (ESPN, CBS sportsline, Hockey News etc). 6-8 weeks will not qualify. This can be done on the first transaction day after the draft.

You cannot protect a player who has never played a game in the NHL....."the rookie rule".

Trades must be fair. I will veto any traded deemed unfair or not in the best interest of the league. You may not make any trades unless your team fee is in my possession.

The league fee will be $100.

1^st=$400

2^nd=$100

Division winners=$25

TOW (Team of the week)=$20

The last place team will draft first and the league champion will draft last in every round.
