This is usually a three-week commitment that requires you to check the thread almost daily. Do not sign up if you cannot commit to this. Two auto's and you will be relieved of your duties as GM.
We will use the authentic draft order as of March 17, 2025.
PHASE ONE: 2025 NHL ENTRY DRAFT
We will have a 7-round 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
Picks: The draft clock will run from 8 a.m. to Midnight ET. Each pick will be 4-hours long. Once time is up on a pick, anyone can auto the pick. We auto 3 North Americans, then 1 European, from NHL Central Scouting's Midterm Rankings list. Goaltenders are NOT auto'd. Before any more picks are made, the GM can change the auto pick and not be charged with an auto. However, all auto picks are final once the next pick is made. No exceptions.
NOTE: All teams must have a minimum of FOUR and a maximum of TWELVE picks in any draft. The ONLY exception to this rule is if a real-life team currently holds fewer than four or more than twelve.
PHASE TWO: FREE AGENT FRENZY
Once all teams have a GM, you may make offers on your own pending UFAs. HOWEVER, under no circumstances can pending UFAs be traded, even if they choose to re-sign with you prior to Free Agency.
The Salary Cap will have a ceiling of $95.5M and a floor of $70.6M.
NOTE: No trade can involve more than FIVE pieces on a side, or EIGHT pieces total. Also, if any player gets traded who absolutely wouldn't be (i.e. McDavid), the deal also gets vetoed automatically. Either GM can post the trade on the thread, but I need the other to confirm it. If the trade is borderline veto-worthy, PLEASE seek my approval first.
Traded picks are limited to 2025, 2026, and 2027.
Rosters: Please post your initial roster, and post an updated version when a trade is made. Always include Cap status. Rosters listed without scratches (since that would never happen) are not allowed.
After you pick, please TAG AND PM the next GM to notify them! And POST THIS WITH YOUR PICK!!! If you cannot PM for whatever reason (i.e. on a phone), ASK SOMEONE TO PM in your post.
Please, do not announce trades until all teams have a GM.

**I tried to assign teams based on memory from who is whose favorite team. If I know two people like the same team, I gave them to the person who did not get them in 1.0. Feel free to swap around, these are tentative. Also, please share with anyone else you think would be a good fit here!**
