Simple concept:
Your 1st two players must fall under these guidelines.
This will be your 2 "survivors".

Player 1: Must still be alive
Must have the most minutes on your roster.

Player 2: Must still be alive.
Salary must be between $5-$6 million.

The remainder of your roster must be made up from players who have past away.

I will put up more details as i work them out.
