Do all players become avalable at the same time and we all send in our emails tomorrow?

Yes all are available tomorrow. You can start sending tomorrow. We will not likely post any signings till Tuesday likely.

Some are released as signed ao gives teams a chance if they miss on a player to find others that suit.

This is not true for staff as all staff offers are submitted now thus we cannot adjust our offers. This keeps it fair as we can see what other teams are bidding so once free agency opens staff members can only bid on guys later in free agency who don't have offers.

Most staff send offers to players conditional to not signing their first choice etc etc.

This year two of the staff arent even making any offers. Myself is one of them so I am submitting offers as we speak for the three gmless teams

I assume so, but thought I would check.

Does Free Agency "close" at any point.

For example, if after a couple weeks there are unsigned players who received no offers, can we still make offers on them to try and convince them to play for our team at a discount (rather than stay unemployed)?

Doesn't really close, so guess the answer is yes, after a couple weeks you could try to get a player at a discount. Last season I got Niskanen for 2 years @ 900k because nobody else had offered. Although that was much later in the season then a couple weeks from now.

Nashville Predators: he is rated a 69 (nice). All remaining un-restricted free agents are on the unassigned page: sim.virtualhockeyleague.com/PlayersRoster.php?Team=0&Type=0 Aug 6, 2023 18:55:06 GMT -5

Montreal Canadiens: not sure what teh point of this is anymore, when your 3rd line is better then the top line on 4 teams ahead of you in the standings simulation obbioulsy has zero reality to it. Apr 11, 2024 13:16:33 GMT -5

Boston Bruins: @montreal... I feel your pain. Got spanked in a must win game by a team I hadn't lost to all season... Just another reason for hockey to make me drink!!! lol Apr 15, 2024 11:01:12 GMT -5
