With the trade deadline having passed, voting for the team that will face the Sault Surge in the All-Star Game is now open. Voting is currently scheduled to remain open until noon on Sunday and is a required action for all teams except for the Surge.
With the Valid Roster Deadline having passed, Ottawa Valley was the team with an invalid roster. The Wolfhounds currently have 24 men on their pro roster. As demoting Tuukka Rask or Connor Hellebuyck would leave them with too few goalies, the next eligible player to be demoted is Zach Werenski, who will require waivers. I’ll be taking care of that shortly and we will move on to the Waiver Draft tonight.
The S18 Supplemental Draft is complete and all selected players have been added to their teams' respective rosters.
The Valid Roster Deadline is at noon tomorrow and, as of right now, there are six teams over at least one limit. Assuming nothing happens between now and then to prevent it, the Waiver Draft will be tomorrow night.
The list of players available in the Supplemental Draft has been (mostly) repaired and the draft is on for Wednesday night. There are a few people who look a little odd, let me know if there are any issues.
Due to continued technical difficulties with the draft system, the Supplemental Draft has been pushed back to 8:00 PM on Wednesday, March 9. To account for this, the Valid Roster Deadline is now noon on Thursday, March 10, with the Waiver Draft set for 6:00 PM that same day.
The Season 18 Entry Draft is complete and rated, eligible players who were selected should be on their respective team's roster. However, it looks like something didn't quite go right with that, so I'll be taking a manual pass at that later.
Alright, our brief delay is over and we have a schedule for the start of Season 18.
The Entry Draft is currently scheduled for 3:00 PM on Saturday, March 5. That is followed by the Supplemental Draft on Sunday, March 6, at 8:00 PM.
Re-rates have been completed for Season Eighteen. All rosters should now be up to date, pending any decisions based on the discussion around exceptions currently taking place in the #general channel.
Congratulations to Kevin Laitinen and the Sault Surge on their rally to claim the Season Seventeen Herb Brooks Memorial Trophy Championship with a 4-3 series win over the Cape Breton Capers. Also, congrats to PM Filion and the Capers on their run to the Finals.
Voting is now open for the Season 17 All-Star roster. Votes are due by noon on Thursday, assuming we keep to our current schedule. As per usual, voting can be completed via the GM Tools and all teams are required to vote.
