What's up guys. Matt here taking on the Kraken. Somebody had to do it, but might I move this sad-sack bunch? Maybe, but there are more important matters at stake like figuring out all of the rules of this dynasty format and coming up with a game plan before October 12th. This is my first dynasty outing and I have to say I'm pretty excited as I know it will further enable my rather appalling hockey addiction. Big shout out to Justin for finding another way for my wife to get pissed off at me! LOL
I've read the updates from Kings in the finding new owners thread about trading starting on July 18th, but when might free agency open up or is that yet unknown? Also, how might I proceed with my one free buyout before the seasons starts? This is a total noob question but can't I just drop players to free agency at any time taking their salary off my roster? The fact that there's a free buyout tells me I'm not quite grasping something..
Looking forward to the season!

Matt,
I'll jump in to help. You can post the amnesty buyout in waivers (you get 1 each off-season). In here you own the entirety of the contract until it expires, they retire, or you buy them out (hits your cap for the remaining term at 25%). So you can't just "drop" guys. It's part of the fun. You can bury them in the minors every off-season if you want or during the season they can pass through waivers (demote them). You just need to be careful with who you pick up and make sure you don't run out if roster space (NHL + ahl + juniors)

Great, I appreciate the explanation. I agree, that's definitely part of the fun and obviously makes things more realistic as well. I've still got some learning to do on all of the mechanics but I know I'll sort it out soon. I may have a few more dumb questions before it sinks into my thick head .

Pirates really knows his stuff for a new owner The salary cap and player limits makes it feel much more like you're a GM. I'm in one league without a cap, and it's no where near as much fun as a cap league. I won that league without barely paying attention. Great to have a new owner that seems interested. The main thing for us is activity - we like owners who check in often. Trades are the whole fun of it. As soon as trading opens up, within two weeks Pirates will have traded away his whole team and then traded back for them again.

He still thinks he can show up with an old school goalie mask and a toy machete and scare teams into sending him all of their assets...

You can set up a new "roster" under your team name (a new post). Then the mods can delete the older ones
