CFL 2025-2026 Discussion: Mason Lohrei Bar Mitzvah

[practice]

What if we just do a redraft league instead

[neuartillery]

My prospects!

[practice]

I hear ya

[neuartillery]

Logistical question: Are we disbanding Cacophony's team? Will his players become free agents and his prospects go back into the draft?

[captain]

Yes. I’m going to adjust the league settings to fix the schedule. I’m of two minds on the roster, I think anyone who has ever been signed should be a UFA. As for unsigned players, we could have them eligible for the draft or make them UFAs too. Open to discussion on this!

[captain]

Okay, we are down to 11 teams officially.

I am going to make a commissioner's ruling that all of Cacophony's players AND prospects are eligible for the UFA auction, not the draft.

The spirit of the draft is that it is a mechanism for players to enter our league, so if they have already been drafted or signed, they have entered. Now that a franchise has folded, they are UFAs.

I believe this is the easiest and fairest thing to do. Plus, Matthew Schaefer told me he wants to get paid early.

[neuartillery]

Sounds good

Do you have a list of his prospects handy

[Craig]

Not sure if it's helpful but posting here I have 66 Yahoo Bucks™ [sic] for tomorrow's draft. My google sheet is up to date.

[sutterfamily]

my roster seems all kinds of wrong, anyone else?

[sutterfamily]

Lotta you need to log in and drop expired UFAs I think. Currently six teams with between 0 and 2 open spots (three that are at literally full rosters)

[sutterfamily]

Some roster fixes needed for me:

I don't have Robertson ($26) or Pinto ($10) on my roster

I also accidentally dropped Kyle Connor ($17), needs to be re-added

My current salary should be $114 for 9 players, $106 cap space left.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Sorry guys seeing this way too late. Today is just not feasible for me

[Adam]

My roster is mostly fine, but I'll need Jake Sanderson added. I've dropped all UFAs/offer sheeted RFAs. My budget for the draft is $30.

[sutterfamily]

Sorry guys seeing this way too late. Today is just not feasible for me

It's not great for me either but I should be able to be there paying attention on/off

[captain]

Hi guys I can’t set any budgets or do any work because my partner’s mom is in ICU. We could try postponing a couple days

[captain]

I bumped the draft out a few days to Sept 30, I’m not sure if that’s a national holiday or just BC. We might have to forgo the first but if the season to make sure we get it right.

[linseman]

hope all goes well with that, cap

i gotta work wednesday but evening (eastern) should be ok

[Craig]

I think the earliest I can reasonably do Wednesday is 4 Pacific, but ideally later

[neuartillery]

Hope things improve, captain

The 30th should be fine for me, I'll double-check my stuff today
