0.1. Trading with teams with no email addys
  Trading with a team with no email addy to negotiate the trade works 
  like this, The team interested contacts the commmish with the possible
  trade, then I will forward this to the person and they will agree/dissagree
  or renegotiate the trade, I will then let you know the status of the trade
  immediately when the info comes in. 


1. Drafting
  The first year draft will be generated randomly using the program to 
  draft each team, the league players will be NHL players from the 97/98
  season

  The next drafting at the end of the season, will be a waiver draft where
  each team will protect 15 players, and every player not protected will be
  put up for grabs where it will be again a random/program generated draft.

  Trading will be between two league teams, that can involve either players
  or money or both together. The trade doesnt have to be balanced, just an
  agreement between two GM's.
