- * Use This Link To Email In Transactions OR make sure the Subject of the email is:
UltraHockey Free Agent Bids For XXXXXX
(change XXXXXX to your team name)
The reason for this is simple: Mark has a filter set up based on that email Subject where the Add/Drop requests go into a folder &
NOT his Inbox, where he could see something like this:
Mark doesn't have a lot of will power, so
PLEASE don't tempt him to out bid you by accidentally letting him know who you're picking up!
(Mark also likes talking in the 3rd person)
- A player must be on a NHL team's roster the Friday before he can be picked up.
- Any player added MUST remain in your starting lineup for 1 period (7 days)
- Any player with a bid of $15+ must be retained the following year
- Picking up a player that was previously dropped from a roster:
- Prior to Trade Deadline #2 - minimum bid = $1
- After Trade Deadline #2 - Minimum bid must be player's previous salary (previous contract years & tier are not carried over unless picked up by dropping team, which all will remain the same) A player's previous salary
should be listed on the player's page on the CBS website. If you do not bid at least the player's previous salary, you will NOT get him.
- If a contract player (Tier 1 or 2) with 1+ years left on their contract are dropped (bought out) it will cost:
- Real Money: His salary multiplied by the years left on his contract
(not including his current/upcoming season)
