This thread will likely evolve over time but I thought it's long past time we had this sort of thing. Likely your best place to start in the CBA and then if something isn't clear to ask here.
Salaries and Cap
Q: Can I got over the cap in the off season?
A: Yes, up to 10% over.
Q: If my player is unsigned, what are the salary implications?
A: Default salaries are $999,999
Q: The salaries on Fantrax in the off season are wrong, when will they be updated?
A: Don't know, up to Fantrax. They typically take care of the more prominent signings throughout the summer and then in September will load up any other salaries. We recommend in the offseason GMs use a spreadsheet to track salaries using Capfriendly.com to ensure there are no surprises.
Q: Salaries, how are they calculated?
A: Salaries include bonuses therefore use the AAV not just the salary number for calculations.
Drafts
Q: Are we able to move players between the prospect pool and the NHL roster during the drafts?
A: No, you must have players where you want them before the draft begins. If you do not, you may not have enough spots for all your picks and will not be able to use some of your picks. Likewise, if you move someone during the draft to make room for a draft pick, there are penalties cited in the CBA, including losing the player. For this reason, you also want to make sure trades are going to clear BEFORE The draft.
