I'm not doing that intentionally. I need the gp my young nhlers will give me. It's cuz I would need to waive players if I didn't + I need to use the guys w highest cap until nylander signs as I'm only just slightly above the floor.
Once nylander signs I can send borgman juolevi and Moore down and put my ahl guys on the bench. Will allow me to put nylander fischer greenway in my lineup. Nylanders holdout is screwing me.

Would love 6 points a week from my Malkin-Letang duo but in one night...love it. Really valuable showing in a short week.
Interesting that Elliott has the better start last night compared to Hutton. That's going to be a situation I'll have to manage week-to-week. Didn't see the harm in starting them both this week. Will probably have to go with one or the other on most weeks.

If only there were players out there for free with cap that anyone could have signed...

I have 2 of those guys, and I was about to sign hossa when I realized u had signed him like 2 hours earlier. there are no more of those guys.
Don't worry, I won't get in the way of Ur tank. I expect my team to be fringe playoffs just like last season.

He's at 50 contracts and he's already slid his three eligible players.
As he said, when Nylander signs...that'll allow him to dress some of his other guys with lesser salaries. He'd be under the floor if he had Fischer, Johnsson, Greenway instead of his other rookies. He's got to be legal with the cap floor...it's not really an issue of dressing a lesser lineup on purpose.

Could easily send down Criscuolo and Carr for Greenway and Fischer, but sure we will go with that explanation.

Making playoffs after an 0-24 start? Or without a starting goalie?

I would need to waive them, but thanks for trying.

Nobody is claiming them. And if they do you should probably thank them lol!

So just realized I fucked up. Alex Chiasson signed the day before game 1 and I didn't add him to my line up.
Simon Bourque was recently bought out freeing up a contract slot, meaning I'd have space now, after the fact.
Please let me know if I need to drop AC due to not having him in my lineup for week 1.

No, you're fine...you get a week to make a move when a player signs during the season so just make sure you do something with him by Week 2.
You do need to get back to 50 contracts by next Monday but as you mentioned Bourque's contract might solve your problem.

Josh had the same issue last year (2 players signed after roster submission, and less than 48 hours before 1st roster lock), so he was given until 2nd roster lock to become contract compliant.

Can we please have the ability to drop assets the way the NHL does?

I think in a case like yours, I think an exception should be made. You went up to 51 contracts because one of your own players signed. It's not like you made a trade to put yourself over the limit. You should have the option to drop a contract if you can't make a trade to move a contract.
I'm assuming Bourque will clear waivers tomorrow and be bought out or his contract will be terminated so your situation will sort itself out.
We'll run into the situation at end of the season when prospects will sign their ELC late in the season and some of us end up over 50 contracts. We don't really enforce the 50 contract rule when our regular season ends.

I disagree. He shouldnt be able to drop a contract. Roster submission is over. He will need to sort it out via trade, imo.
That's the rule. I'm going to run into the same situation once nylander signs.
