Due to numerous requests, the waiver wire is back again! For this version, it is tougher than one might think. All players claimed must be from the 1967-68 season to present (post-expansion). With $75 million, you would think that is too much, but with the cost of defense and scorers in this era it will evaporate pretty quickly. All players prior to 1967-68 are blacklisted in the draft center, as are all players costing over and including $200,000. The only other rule is no clones please. Remember only one claim per calendar day AFTER THE FIRST GAME HAS BEEN SIMMED. If an illegal player is claimed, or if you make more than one claim per day, all illegal players claimed must be waived and no claims may be made until the next calendar day. The rest:

Max out is 5
No shootout
Below Average ML'ers
No trades this version-you're on your own!

No need to sign up here. First come, first served. This will fill fairly quickly so don't dawdle!

Hope to see you all there! NHL31757

I put in a team, but I want to see if I got this right. The first time you can pick up a player off the waiver wire is after the first game of the season is complete. The second player would be available after the 3rd game of the season is complete, the AM game on the second day. Is that about right?

No. You can pick up a player after the first game, but then you are eligible to pick up another player the next calendar day. Basically, you can claim a guy after the first game on November 1st, and then you can claim another Nov 2nd at one second after midnight, the next Nov 3rd, etc....

Thank you for setting me straight.

Need 9

16 in. Need 8

Need 7

Come on in! This is always one of the best leagues going - can't wait to see all those waiver wire picks that I just miss!

Still afraid? Don't think you'll do well (we all start with a lousy team!)? I'll award a free team to the owner whose team finishes with the fewest points, but you must hit 45 points to be eligible. This will ensure that you don't make terrible claims just to get the free team. If there is a tie, goals scored will be the tiebreaker.
