    Yeah I have had my gripes with this before. Seems flawed that teams are constrained by the cap of the following season as well as this season when internally recalling players from their affiliate. 

    I think you should just have to be cap compliant with your team during the current season when it comes to affiliate recalls and assignments.

    #11 is again a North European country: Norway. As you can see, their first line is very impressive: 85-90-84; 92-89;91. But after that there is a rather huge gap, and the rest of the team could have problems against most teams. Especially as 11 people from the squad of 25 is without club.  Most guys look a bit cocky and they have problems in other personality aspects too, even their best players. They only have Daniel Jenssen and Tom Johansen as good prospects, but who knows, maybe some other future stars will pop up soon. Their top level goalie can help them a lot, but he is not a best in big games, and some can be said about his backup. So overall this is a very interesting squad I would say.

    My boy Morten Jenssen, presumed older brother of Daniel, falling through the cracks is going to be a big blow of Norway at the world championships.

    That seems like a bit of a flaw for cap management. I understand that in the context of making trades I guess, but teams close to the ceiling have their hands tied due to cap adjustments that can be remedied after the fact.

    On a players (own team) transfer page where their contract extension is listed it does not include reference to what player and lineup role the player has agreed to. Given it is a big feature going forward having it listed for reference in their transfer tab would be nice to refer back to incase you forgot what they had agreed to.

    Friendly games cannot be accepted past day 103. Not a non-issue, still present

    EDIT: I was able to have friendly games accepted past day 103 but could not myself accept games nor complete them with CPU teams.

    Well no, as his current contract is a two way contract. Thus while on the current contract there should be no limitations outside of the current clauses that he is restricted to. If he were traded to an SHL team with a one way GHL contract signed and that team was not in a position to promote then his contract extension would just be voided at the conclusion of the season and he would join the free agent pool as if he didn't sign it. 

    In regards to terminating the contract, after the player has agreed to the extension the contract cannot be cancelled. It is only when the deal has been offered but not yet accepted that it can.

    Been getting a "this can't be good" error page for a while now while trying to complete a deal. Figured out today that i think it is because a player in the deal has a GHL one way contract extension signed and the deal is sending him to the SHL.

    Outside of that everything else in the deal is completely normal so I think this may be a bug from when trading contract extensions was fixed.

    After the trade deadline all contract offers are in terms of the following season (example: sign a player not on your roster and they won't report until day 1 of the following season). Then if you are situated in a top 2 seed in your conference after day 87, in terms of contract negotiations you are now considered the level of the league you are promoting to. 

    I'm not fully visualizing your situation in my head, so sorry if that doesn't clear it up. But that is how it has always been as a promoting team after day 87, going back to the old version. When I was promoting to the GHL I had a bunch of players that would not resign on SHL contracts, so I had to ensure that I had guaranteed promotion at the end of the season and had to wait until after day 87 to negotiate their extensions.

    With player roles, line pairings and line focus I find a lot of it is just trial and error in seeking out what works. Sometimes certain players work well together that you would not normally expect. My top defensive pairing on my GHL team is a 92 overall stay-at-home defenseman paired with a 84 overall offensive defenseman. Together they have 75 and 76 performance rating and the 84 overall offensive defenseman has 24 points in 35 games (23 of which at even strength). 

    It's just about finding what players complement each other to work best as a line. I have their defensive pairing set to dynamic.

    His current contract ends in a few days.  I realized a great deal of the reason I was misled was that the trade calculator factored in the upcoming contract for next season.  I have figured out a work-around to keep him, but realize I shouldn't have to work-around anything. I e-mailed support right away, but have not heard back yet, and time is winding down.  Much as I have enjoyed this game, if this situation is not righted, if contracts are not contracts, there's no reason to continue. 

    Well hopefully it doesn't come to you leaving the game. I'm sure there is a way for it to be sorted so you aren't screwed over by these circumstances.

    How were we we supposed to know this? I'm on the hook now for a player with an expiring contract, that had an extension. I was very careful to make sure the new contract fit under my salary cap, and made the trade.  Now the extension has evaporated, and I can't afford the player's new demands...NOT happy 🤬

    Giggled a little bit seeing your display picture in relation to your post. 

    That's a tough break. I reckon probably the best thing for you situation would be to either use him this season to help your promotion effort if you're outside of the GHL and then at the end of the season offer him a contract with the added cap flexibility after it adjusts to your promotion. Otherwise you'll have to flip him to try and recoup the assets you gave up for him.

    I love this game so I don't want to rag on it too much. But it seems a little baffling that one of the key pillars of the allure of this game is supposed to be "love for stats" as stated on the home page and yet we don't have league player stats for the playoffs!

    On top of that, something I have previously brought up, if you look at the team history page not a single manager can decipher where a team finished in the playoffs based on the current description of where they finished in the playoffs. While implementing a player statistics page for playoffs may be a large amount of work to include surely just changing the phrasing of "playoff 2" or "playoff 3" to "round one exit", "round two exit", "lost in GHL Cup finals" would not be that hard to adjust.

    That being said, still love the amazing achievement Anders has done with creating this game. I just feel like some of the smaller things are getting overlooked in favour of larger projects that are continually pushed back because of the scale of work required to complete them.
