Amnesty Clauses will work as follows:
-Every current owner will receive one (1) amnesty clause.
-Every new owner who joins the league will receive an amnesty clause to use.
-This amnesty clause can be used to release any player on your team, with either no, or a lowered cap penalty. If the player's salary is below or equal to $20M a year, you will not need to pay anything after amnestying him. If the player costs over $20M per season, you will pay 50% of all salary above $20M for the duration of the contract. For example, if I have a player for $32M signed through 2016, I would owe $6M through 2016 after amnestying him.
-After being amnestied, a player will go to waivers. If he costs under $20M and is claimed, the claiming owner will owe him all of his salary. If he costs over $20M, the claiming owner will be responsible for all salary that the waiving owner is not paying. For example, after amnestying my $32M player, if he is claimed the claiming owner would owe him $26M a season.
-If the player goes unclaimed, he will become a normal FA to be bid on.
-Amnesty clauses are not tradable.
-Once you've used your amnesty clause you will not receive another one, so be smart about it.
Waiving a Player
Any player may be waived from your team. If the contract is an NHL contract/FA Contract, each year you will be responsible for 50% of the difference in the contract you owed.
If a Player for any reason leaves NHL for KHL/European league, you may release them for free.
All players who are on their SCD Rookie Scale. This means you can release them, at any time, without penalty.
Retirement
If a player retires on a real-life contract, then you will not owe him money. However, if you signed the player in free agency in the league, you will owe 50% of the contract each year for the remainder of the contract.
Waiver Wire
1) The waiver order to start off with will be randomized.
2) When a player is waived, he will enter waivers for the next 48 hours. If you wish to put in a claim for that player, you need to put a claim on them and they will be moved to the appropriate thread.
3) Players who qualify for Rookie Scale 1-3 will need to either be claimed or Nominated to pass through waivers to FA.
4) The team with the highest placement on the waiver order that claims a player will win that player, and then move to last place in the waiver order.
5) If you win a claim on a player you will pay half (50%) of the player's salary (the waiving team pays the other half still).
6) If a player goes through waivers unclaimed, he will become a normal FA and will be bid on as such.
7) In order for a player to "go through unclaimed," you need to place a thread in the waivers stating the you are not claiming. If the player then passes through the 48 hours unclaimed he will become a FA.
8) If you send several claims at once, you need to list what your order of priority on each player is.
9) You are not allowed to go over the cap when claiming players.

Rookie Players
We will be using a scale for players in their 1st-3rd years. A player's first year is the year that they exceed either 30 Games in a single season. Next season will be his second and so on. For a season to count against a players service time, he must play at least 15 Games. This is the scale we will use for 1st-3rd:
1st year: .8M
2nd year: .8M
3rd year: .8M
4th year: RFA
After a player's 3rd year is over you will have the option of picking up their new contract, on Spotrac, or letting them go to Free Agency. All extensions/contracts must be signed by June 24th
Note: They must have 1GP for Skaters and Goalies to be claimed in Waivers
