OK, I wanted to start a thread to track status changes for the new season.
1) We have 8 owners who have sent in their payment and another 2 who have contacted me for my mailing address, thanks. I was thinking that something that could be used to incentivize early remittance of dues would be to make viewing of the links for the draftable players predicated on payment. I don't think that is draconian but would be glad to hear your thoughts as a group as well.
2) I have been working on the cards and they are getting closer to completion. I have been spending time over the last few days zeroing in on identifying the players who are eligible for the draft this year and hope to have the preliminary list out very soon. You may think this is pretty straight forward however because we can have guys on contracts where their ID from THN is used (9999) and guys where their AHL ID is used (A8888) there are some checks and balances that I need to minimize the chance of another Chris/Christopher Tanev incident occurring.
3) Once the player cards are complete, I will be sending out a list of guys to each team that require protection. Owners will need to, in a timely manner, decide who they are going to protect and send the list back to the league. It would be great if someone in the league would volunteer to receive this to review to make sure the correct protocols were followed in regards to number and types of players protected (7/3/1 or 8/1 I believe are the available options). Please reply here if you would like to volunteer for this.

I like #1. Gives us an incentive to pay asap.
I can help with #3 if need be.

And yeah, #1 would probably get the $ in right away if people want cards as bad as I do.

Even if it's not the cards. I'd be happy with the draft eligible list without cards.

yep, make some incentive to get the money in right away. There are at least two people sending money in by snailmail? weird.

Even if it's not the cards. I'd be happy with the draft eligible list without cards. That's what will come first (the preliminary list of players). This should be either tonight or tomorrow night.

I made some real good progress on the cards this weekend. The cards have been uploaded to a staging table on our host provider which means they are just one small command from being loaded onto the web. I started working on the process of tying each of these guys to their contracts/teams. This is always a challenge because a guy can have an AHL contract ID and and NHL card and vice versa. I will continue this work this evening but barring anything unforeseen, the cards should be out there tonight or tomorrow night.
Special kudos to Scotty who has been assisting quite a bit over the past couple of weeks. The latest example was helping to make sure we don't have another Chris/Chistopher Tanev incident again with some of the review he did yesterday.

We are very close boys - just doing some last minute validation - support tables being updated as we speak...
