Know the Rules
Note: Emailing TRs has always been the means of requesting a trade. The previous season, an online form was introduced and used for requesting trades. The process proved to be dependable and precise regarding timestamp & receipts but… THENHLJL cannot assure Teams the process is spam-free, not at this time, therefore the email process will be used until such time.
When a Team wants to trade, they send a Trade Request via email, to all Teams. Regardless the type of trade, a Trade Request must be sent to all and in the established format (as follows).
- The subject of the email should read Trade Request.
- The email must be addressed to all Teams (see email group).
- Brief is best, but feel free to explain.
- Message should begin with your Team name.
- Say what the trade is.
- This is a Trade Request and therefore the message should be clear & straightforward.
- Give details; player's names, teams, etc., (feel free to use abbreviations and/or short-forms).
Note: Before you click send, feel free to end the email message with a statement of some sort. Yes of course, humor & wit and trash & jabs and insane hockey ramblings are welcome and add to the entertaining aspect of the RSPS.
Type C: RSPS Teams AR & MR Transactions
- Fee is $0.50 per trade
- Each transaction can only involve 2 players max.
- AR player positions must always be; max 1 GT, max 4 DEFs & max 6 FWDs.
- A player can be moved to MR vacant spot (6th) as an interim transaction. This is considered ½ a transaction and later when a player is called up from MR to AR, the second ½ of the transaction (Type-C) is complete. If it's a player coming from the NHL to fill the vacated AR spot, the second ½ of the transaction (Type-C) is complete and a second transaction, Type-A, is added to permit the acquisition of the FA player. The Team must return a player from MR to the NHL as part of this transaction, however it will be considered a separate Type-C transaction and therefore your Team will register qty 2 Type-Cs & 1 Type-A in total.
Note: With this player movement & trade the Team can select any player from the minors to return to NHL.

When you email (submit) a trade request, it becomes an official record (of that request). This record is logged and added to the RSPS Transaction Report (TRR); regardless if your TR is approved or disallowed. Once you email your TR you cannot change your mind (so-to-speak). A grace period of 2-3 minutes following emailed TR is acknowledged but shouldn't be relied upon. Make sure you want to trade before requesting a trade.
With Type-B trades there is a loop hole for changing your mind. The request is not official until both Teams email the request. The Team that sends the TR first can cancel the TR by resending the email, stating "cancel"; before the other Team sends their TR. Also, the second Team can simply let the 8 hour period expire, by not sending their required TR email.
Each email has a time stamp which is verified if ever two TR emails are sent at the same time; example, two Teams requesting a trade for the same player.
** One Hour TR Rule: You cannot submit more than one TR within the same hour. An hour is 60 minutes (3600 secs). If a Team submits a second TR within the same hour, that TR will be disallowed and the one hour wait period, starts over. Three hasty requests; could extend the wait period to 3 hours.
The official details of the TR will be added to the Transaction Report. This and all other relative reports are updated usually within 24hrs of the request, being approved and the outcome posted on the new "Headline News & Reports" posting".
Note: The RSPS do not reply to TR emails to explain the outcome. However if any RSPS Teams want to make a comment or add some Poolie-gibberish or ridicule the request, they are welcome to reply and do so.

If a player on your Team is injured, after the HOD date, you can place that player on the IR (Injured Reserve). Doing this gives you more time to decide if the injured player is worth keeping. When a player is placed on the IR, they move from their current roster position to the 6th spot on the MR. You cannot place a player on IR if the 6th spot in the Minors is not available.
The player's status changes to "inactive". You (the Team) pay a $0.50 transaction fee. Then, when 24 hours has expired, you have 24 hours to submit a trade request for a FA (of the same position). This player goes directly to the vacated position on your AR/MR. The player on IR remains, as such, for 15 days. On the 15th day you must contact/inform the RSPS of your final plans for the IR player. You have 2 options (see a & b).
Note: You cannot place a player on IR as part of the transaction
a) Don't recall player from IR: The player is removed from IR and your Team and returns to the NHL. Their availability as a FA, to other teams, is immediate. This is referred to as placing the player on waivers. Player remains on waivers for 4 days (96hrs), for any other Team to pick up and add to their Team. If this occurs the move is immediate and that Team pays no transaction fee. The Team must return 1 of their players (same position if AR) to the NHL, to complete the (no fee) transaction. The player who you 'subbed-in' remains as is, however your Team pays a $0.50 fee to keep this player.
b) Recall Player from IR: The player returns to your Team (injured or not). You send the subbed-in player, back to NHL. You do not pay a transaction fee. The player returning is considered an RFA and not available as an FA until their set date. (see FA Report).
Note: Injury status must be considered significant (by THENHLJL).
