Next steps...

[JiriHrdina]

Now that the draft is over I know everyone is anxious to move on to next steps.

Our next main item is re-rates. In the past I’ve used a ratings package done externally as a basis and then made adjustments to improve them. This saves a lot of time and effort.

However, so far this year an acceptable ratings package has yet to be distributed. I’m keeping an eye on things to see if one comes out in the next couple of weeks. If it doesn’t – we will likely start our own manual re-rates in early July.

Following re-rates we will have RFA re-signing, UFA re-signing and then UFA open market.

Questions?

[Superfraggle]

I sent in a list of completed conditions a while back, but they're still up. Is this something that's just waiting on the to-do list, or should I re-send it?

[JiriHrdina]

Resend to cphltrade please

Hi Grant,

Can you please clarify what this means exactly. If rerates are done manually, who will be involved in that process?

Thanks.

Thanks.

The commissioners. I would likely do the initial version and then have them approved by the other commissioners.

Paying him only works if you have legitimate players and they get higher then expected ratings...Everyone will be suspicious if your players got playable ratings...

Here I thought you would use some actual facts, I didn't win even with the 100+ mill payroll.

But the commishes are nice, I ask them for money and they give it to me, its so simple.

I think its discrimination. I don't get 100m bc I am American. But your right .. even with 40 million more in payroll than me you advanced 1 or 2 rounds further? what a disgrace.

Do we have a time frame worked out yet?

[JiriHrdina]

Re-rates are almost done and should be posted in a week or less (hopefully). We then will move on to RFA re-signing followed by UFA re-signing. The timelines on those will be very quick

[JiriHrdina]

A reminder to please don't submit any position requests right now - no point doing them during the off-season.

Any chance we can change it up this year and do sponsorships before UFA starts?

I think it makes more sense just to get a sense of where people are with cap and it would also help people not forget about sponsorships (was guilty last year).

[JiriHrdina]

Teams can choose not to sign ufas and keep cash for sponsorships...all part of the strategy of the game

I don't know how you can determine what sponsorship you want when your team isn't complete. In fact some of the ones you name individual players that you might sign as a UFA.

Good point, didn't even think about that.
