Default Off-season thread

Folks,
I wanted to provide some additional updates on the off-season.
Currently we are working on a plan for how to deal with the vacant teams.
There are some immediate things that, as GMs, you should all be doing
- Prepare for the draft!
- If you owe conditional picks in the 2016 draft – take care of them sooner rather than later
- Trade, trade, trade!

Generally the order will go like this
- We will announce plans for the vacant teams, soon
- Rollover (1 year advancement on ages and contracts)
- Our draft: Saturday June 18 10 am Calgary time
- Re-rates and new RFA/UFA grids
- Deadline to bring players above waiver threshold to the CPHL
- RFA re-signing
- UFA re-signing
- UFA batches

Also please remember we don't process stuff as often in the off-season. It is a bit of a welcome break for us as well. The sim will be updated after free agency.

Questions?

More updates will be posted in this thread as things move along.

Is there anything we can do to help you folks with this? Do you have GMs lined up? With CMPunk leaving, I thought I'd ask now. For example, we probably all know some members here at CP that may have interest. I haven't actively recruited though. Should I be?

Is there a new sim version or roster file update? I can't open the sim anymore. It says the league file is too old.

We only update the sim a couple times during the off-season. So don't worry about downloading a new file until we say so (usually after free agency)

Yes the file stops opening after X amount of days of being updated, so it will remain that way for the offseason

It sucks, in the season because I get use to looking up ratings with it... but with so many players flying around anyways it wouldn't be of much use anyways. After a couple trades it wouldn't have mattered

No not really. We will be announcing our plans when I'm back this weekend.

I know nothing is concrete, but if we were guessing...
How long after the draft until re-rates and grids take place?

Are you then going to modify those ratings at all? Didn't you use a formula to put more emphasis on the this past season rather than a 3 year average? Is that going to happen again?

Last year IIRC they used a package that solely used last years stats, with a focus on advanced stats.

Last years package was used with a heavy focus on last year but did take into consideration the previous 2 seasons as well. It did incorporate advance stats into the formula. Ideally we use the same package or something very similar this season.

This is VERY relieving to hear. I know it can get me into a lot of trouble, but many of the pieces I added this year I added with this re-rate package in mind.

Sounds like the ratings package we will hopefully use will be released in a few days. So that'll be the next big step for the off-season.

So we are still waiting...last report early last week is that the ratings would be released "within days". But they haven't come out yet.
