Standings Update Playoff Picture Some movement in the Central with the St. Louis Blues bringing it on late. But these will be your 16 teams for the inaugural GFL season. Congrats to all 16 teams All Teams in playoffs can now start posting their playoff rosters. As mentioned on Discord (but for those not on Discord) here is what I posted earlier So I need playoff rosters posted from the following teams (If you have done so please ignore). Failure to post a playoff roster will mean your team will not accumulate points until you have posted. AZ - @Bounce000 COL - @Thrago WPG - @arby18 STL - @Master Mind // @Phil The Thrill LAK - AriGold CHI - @Patrick Kane CGY - @Rick Blight VGK - @Lethunder TBL - @Relyt Krets PIT - @Miss Korea OTT - @Robert Paulson FLA - @Herberts Vasiljevs CBJ - @ArtemChubarov MTL - @Mike Vanderhoek CAR - @Down By the River PHI - @Ilunga / @Aladeen Houdini for Celebrini For reference the teams that these teams will match up to (As of tonight, subject to change) 1 - SJS 2 - CHI 3 - ANA 4 - CBJ 5 - UTA 6 - MON 7- OTT 8 - SEA 9- CGY 10 - NJD 11 - BUF 12 - PHI 13 - MIN 14 - PIT 15 - DET 16 - STL

Just a note for the playoffs. All playoff teams are required to set their rosters before the first game of the Stanley Cup Playoffs is underway. Reminder you can set your team within the roster parameters (23 players - 13/14 F - 7/8 D) reminder as well we only allow you to set 1 starting goalie, with the other (if applicable) will be on your bench. Lastly, important to note please name all your "black aces" these players are only eligible to be called up in between rounds as no call up's are permitted mid round. Any questions let me or Gator know From the CBA: Re backup goalies in playoffs The only difference is you can only use 1 "starting" goalie per playoff round. You can only activate your backup goalie if your starter gets hurt, and you have the minimum budget requirement met in your "medical/training facility" to do so. see section 6.4

Standings Update Playoff Outlook

Waivers The Buffalo Sabres (Priority 5) have claimed Emil Bemstrom off waivers from the Washington Capitals Backdated to March 28/24 The Following players have cleared waivers DAL - Joel Edmundson & Oskar Sundqvist WSH - Tyson Barrie & Jarred Tinordi

I processed the call ups in the order of which they were typed, which meant that you were not able to call up Aidan McDonough as you currently have a full roster of 23

Joel Edmundson was placed on waivers as per the post, but unable to be assigned to the minors as this would put you over your minors cap. Therefore the subsequent move of Matthew Kessel being called up was unable to be processed Duplicate moves, with the move on 3/26/24 being processed already The assignment of Matthew Phillips and recall of Aku Raty still does not permit enough cap space for Edmundson to be assigned to the minors as it would still put you over the Minors Cap. With that, again I am unable to process Matthew Kessel being recalled
