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.

COL - @Thrago

WPG - @arby18

STL - @Master Mind // @Phil The Thrill

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

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

On 3/27/2024 at 4:26 PM, Rusty Shackleford said:

Washington Capitals waive Tyson Barrie and Emil Bemstrom for assignment to Hershey.  We call up Adam Erne, Jordan Oesterle and Jack Matier and Aiden McDonough

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

On 3/26/2024 at 10:07 AM, Optimist Prime said:

Waivers: the Dallas Stars waive Joel Edmundson for assignment to the minor league Texas Stars.

On 3/26/2024 at 10:08 AM, Optimist Prime said:

Recall: the Dallas Stars recall Matthew Kessel from the Texas Stars to fill Joel Edmundson's spot. 

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

On 3/29/2024 at 10:41 AM, Optimist Prime said:

I think I made a mistake in that Joel Edmundson likely couldn't go down to the minors as his cap was too high? In any event, I would like Luke Hughes on the big club now, so to fascilitate that, in case i did mess up and he is currently in the minors:

 

Assignment: the Dallas Stars assign Matthew Kessel  to the Texas Stars. 

 

Recall: the Dallas Stars recall Luke Hughes from the Texas Stars.

Duplicate moves, with the move on 3/26/24 being processed already

On 3/29/2024 at 10:47 AM, Optimist Prime said:

I found a solve for my bad math of the other day:

 

Assignment: the Dallas Stars assign Matthew Phillips  to the Texas Stars.

 

Recall: the Dallas Stars recall Aku Raty from the Texas Stars.

 

NOW Joel Edmundson can be assigned to the minors from his waivers. please and thank you. Sincere Apologies on my failure to math. 

 

If this all works out, we should then be able to recall Matthew Kessel (he was just sent down to bring up Luke Hughes ten minutes ago) and all is well in my world. I think this is a good solve and I won't mess around with them anymore. SO sorry for the extra work. I hadn't considered Edmundson's large contract. 

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

Injured Reserve

Tampa Bay Lightning activate Nick Seeler from the IR and place in active roster

Activate Dakota Joshua

Assign JJ peterka (No waivers)

If anyone would like to be the owner of this sheet and keep track I can send it over to you or any agent who would like to take care of this in the future

WAIVERS

The Toronto Maple Leafs (Priority 29) have claimed David Gustafsson off waivers from the Winnipeg Jets 

• *Backdated to MAR 17

The Following players have cleared waivers

TOR - William Lockwood & Liam Foudy

DAL - Walker Duehr

42 minutes ago, PeteyBOI said:

I claimed a player awhile back, before i waived foudy did get him?

Correct you successfully claimed Gustafsson, but even then so with your recent signings you could not assign Foudy to the minors as you would be over the minors Cap

4 minutes ago, PeteyBOI said:

and I think Kyle Maclean should be on my main roster after signing correct? I was Hoping to have his points backdated

Any players who require waivers start on your NHL roster, unless waived and assigned. Any players who DO NOT require waivers immediately start in the minors unless otherwise stated. So his points would have only been backdated had you posted in the thread that he would be on the main roster after signing. This has been what I have been doing all year for all teams just FYI

So MacLean would still need to be recalled

On 3/21/2024 at 4:36 PM, PeteyBOI said:

The Toronto Maple waive liam Foudy to the Marlies

Foudy has cleared waivers but I am unable to assign him to the minors as with Foudy you only currently carry the league minimum of 12 forwards

NYI puts (G) Daniel Vladar on IR, and calls-up (G) David Rittich, and also calls-up (C) Zack Ostapchuk

I have processed the call up of Zack Ostapchuk however I cannot process Vladar to IR as you already have 3 players on IR as your budget allows (You also forgot a link)
