Sept 2014 Changes
- Players who are unsigned in the NHL can be signed to 4 year contracts (previously limited to 2 years)
- Free agency age now mimics NHL CBA (June 30th as cutoff, instead of calendar year)
- Discount to 1 year contract as the season progresses dialed down to 75% (previously higher)
- No other changes - input, assumptions all same as last year otherwise.
August 9, 2013
Changes from last year.
a) Showing whether your offer is a qualifying offer to RFA.
b) Reintroduced the signing discount (the longer you wait into the season, the cheaper players are because they're desperate to play)
c) Adjusted discount for 1 year deals to 95% of baseline value for young players. Bridge deals are getting pricier as per real life. Previously was 90% of baseline value.
For those not familiar with this sheet:
a) Enter in your players name on the left.
b) Columns D-G shows what you need to bid to get a 90% probability of the player signing.
c) If you offer more than the guideline salary, higher probability of signing (and vice versa).
d) Select the # of years you'd want to offer player (note guideline salary is different based on term of contract)
e) Even if you offer a zillion dollars, max resigning probability is 98%, meaning that there's still a 2% chance the player doesn't want to sign with you.
f) Check column L to see status of your player whether he's RFA or UFA.
g) If RFA, check column M to see if you gave him a qualifying offer. If you didn't and he doesn't sign with you, he'll become a UFA. If you gave a qualifying offer and he doesn't sign, he remains on your team and is subject to another offer and/or offer sheets from other GMs.

New features:
- As the season goes on, unsigned players will ask for less money (but only sign for 1 year on the cheap) - so if you want some last minute rental players, keep an eye out on the 1 yr contracts by the time trading deadline/signing deadline approaches
Timing to be determined by Nokians. Any questions, feel free to fire it my way - Bombers.
