Well, looks like we are getting ready to go on perhaps the most exciting dispersal draft in DHL History;
I'll be updating team pages for the new owners tonight;
If you haven't already start your draft sheets as the dispersal draft player/prospect/pick list is now posted.
For those new GMs joining the league; make sure you read the rules, don't be afraid to ask questions before the draft, don't want any misunderstandings. Know the stat categories etc.

Basic Gameplay; Head to Head league; 15 categories (most category wins, win weekly matchup) You play one other team a week; top team from each of the 4 divisions plus the next best 4 teams advance to playoffs. This is a pay league, however we keep the cost low. I believe it was $35 CAD last year? DONT UNDER-ESTIMATE THE VALUE OF GOALIES! You must meet a 3 game goalie start minimum or you forfeit all goalie stats for the week; so please make sure you have a game plan in place for goalie starts as the waiver wire is pretty bare and goalie prospects get picked up faster then when Kenny wears high heels and stands on the corner
The draft lotto will be held offline by admin; it will have 3-4 witnesses and have photo evidence recorded. the 6 teams taking part in the dispersal will randomly be selected from 1-6 to determine dispersal draft order. the Draft will be a snake draft so teams 1-6 will draft then teams 6-1 and so on. (Possible we hold a zoom meeting to do the draft lotto; if so a date and time will be sent out so teams can witness this themselves, so ill keep you posted!)
Teams will draft their 23 man roster, 25 man prospect team, and any available draft picks. there is no order to when you must draft picks or prospects, you could select a prospect in the 1st round for example. The order you draft your players, prospects and picks is up to you.
The draft is run entirely on proboards; you will have a time limit for picks, this is a pretty big draft with 6 teams and 50+ assets per teams so we are looking at making 300 plus picks here, draft will start out with a 8 hour time limit per pick, but will be reduced very quickly if we aren't getting through the draft quick enough. Our expectations for admin would be to see atleast 5 picks per day per team made, this would complete the draft in a 20 day period (Time does not count from midnight to 8am (Atlantic time) we also do not leave a time limit on weekends as sometimes people are away; however we still expect picks to be made. You are expected to let admin know if you are not going to be available. You can leave a draft list with an admin member at any time if you are going to be away as well. If we need to pause for a couple days do to unforeseen circumstances that can be done; we do have the summer so we have some opportunity to accommodate but again, you need to let admin know.
Australia rulz... We have one GM who lives in Australia and therefor lives in an entirely different day and stands upside down, we understand if there are some delays; Darren has been through this numerous times and knows the routine from various leagues.
NJ, NYI, SEA, DET, TBL, and VGK will be the 6 teams taking part in the dispersal draft;
Now, if everyone has read this far... a couple league reminders.
Draft Board is posted and it is each GMs responsibility to verify the players on it. Look and make sure you don't see anyone whom you think shouldn't be there. If Mcdavid is listed on the dispersal draft available player list and you think you own his rights, speak now! Once a player is drafted in the dispersal he will belong to that team. We certainly tried our best to make sure there was no errors, we had two admin go over this with a fine tooth comb, and they did find some errors. The issue is the 3 outgoing teams may have had errors or missed updating a trade etc so it is possible they listed someone you own on their page and we missed it also.... so go check now!
Ive emailed the new GMs here, I've posted a message board and haven't heard any questions yet, so hopefully you guys got those and if not feel free to ask questions here.
Tentatively we are looking at starting the dispersal Monday June 6th at 08:00 (subject to change)
