The first beta version of our NHL Roster Update 2007-08 project is now available for download. Download it HERE! You can discuss this and find more information in this thread.


Here's an overview of what this database includes so far:

* Updated NHL rosters;
* Over 1030 NHL player contracts updated (both wages and contract length);
* Updated GM, Assistant GM and Head Coach movements;
* Updated salary cap and salary floor;
* NHL players traded to Europe (NHL player rights are retained for those that left as RFAs);
* NHL player retirements;
* Draft pick trades;
* Correct draft picks that NHL teams had in the 2007 Draft (i.e.which round picks they had. Not what players they drafted);
* Based on TBL:DB version 1.0 by Devils88;
* Includes TBL:DB 1.1 extra_config.cfg college commitments.


Here's a list of things still to do:

* Keep the rosters up-to-date upto the 29th September (when the NHL season begins);
* Include new/extended contracts since the 20th August;
* Add a number of NHL Assistant GMs that are not in the EHM database (a total of five people);
* Update the NHL uniform colours;
* Include affiliation changes (if possible).
