WHere do new players (via trade) go?

In my GM connected league, I just made a trade for a top 6 d-man, the trade was approved.

However, I can't find my newly-aquired player... where do I go to find him so I can insert him into my lineup?

he is most likely in the minors...

I thought so too, but I looked under the ROSTER MOVES settings, and he's not listed there either.

The only thing I can think is that the trade isn't actually carried out until the next time I advance the season??

I think Commissioner of your league will have to approve the trade when he chooses to advance the season.

I'm the Commish, and already approved the trade. The approval notification came up as soon as the trade was initially accepted.

The only thing I haven't done is advance the season after approving the trade.

I assumed the trade would happen immediately, and not force us (the league members) to play the next half dozen games first, but maybe that's what we need to do.

You have to advance the period before trades go through. It's pretty annoying.

Alright, thanks.

Bumping my old thread.

Finally got all our GM Connected games done and advance the season, I now have the player in my roster.. but he's not available for the lineup.

When I check my Roster Moves screen under GM Options, he is listed in the NHL side (not AHL), but he has a circle with a line through beside his name.

Can someone clue me in as to what that means? Do I simply have too many players in my line up and have to drop one d-man to the minors to get the new guy available for the lineup??
