First off, I would like to congratulate the Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche on a great season. Also I want to thank everyone for making this fun.

Since I can't see ahead to see how the off-season is structured I'll post updates on here on when things are moving ahead and what you need to do.

For right now, go ahead and set your draft priority, which is basically ranking all the available players in the upcoming draft. The draft will be simulated, EA unfortunately doesn't have a live draft.

You will have until Thursday @ 11:59 pm to do this, after that I assume the draft will be simulated and we will advance to the re-sign players phase. I will announce the plan for the re-sign phase after Thursday.

The re-sign players period has begun. Here is the schedule for the rest of the offseason:

The re-sign phase will last 3 days. Since I opened it up last night, we'll end it Monday @11:59 pm

The FA period will begin after that and will also last 3 days. It will end Thursday @ 11:59 pm.

EA has set the off-season up so I can only sim one day at a time. I'll sim every night(Saturday, Sunday, Monday) and afternoon(Sunday and Monday). That will put us at July 1st on the schedule. I'll follow the same sim format for FA which I will announce once we get there.

I want to get this moving so please try and let as many GMs know as possible that this has begun.

Also, we have a new GM for the Lightning. His PSN name and twitter name is Jpfrket. The Flames GM has left the league and I'll be finding another GM to fill in.

If you have any questions about this send me a message. I'm trying to figure out how all this works and if any of you know more about the off season let me know.

Free Agency begins at midnight.

The schedule for advancing will go as follows:
July 1 - advances Tuesday @ 10 pm
July 2 - advances Wednesday @ 7 pm
July 3 - advances Wednesday @10 pm
July 4 - advances Thursday @7 pm
July 5 - advances Thursday @10 pm

end of FA period

If we need to extend the FA period we will. We will see where we are at Thursday @10

A few GMs have dropped out of the league, we'll be making an updated list to reflect all the changes.
