Relocation

Standard Relocation
Teams/Owners have the option to relocate their franchise to another location.

Special Relocation
Teams that have historically relocated within the NHL have the option for a one time Special Relocation option, in that they are allowed to relocate the same year that they historically relocated to the team they historically relocated to. (Example: 1980-81 - Atlanta Flames relocated to become the Calgary Flames).

Rules

 * 1) Existing Roster is Relocated to the New Location
 * 2) Team Arena is Relocated to the Historical Team Arena for the Time Period. The team is responsible for any Arena Relocations or Upgrades after this point.
 * 3) Farm Team name and location will remain the same
 * 4) Finances will be reset to $20,000,000 - regardless of financial gain/loss.
 * 5) Special Relocation only applies to the historical year of relocation for a franchise. If not done on that particular year, standard Relocation rules apply.
 * 6) Draft Pick trades will carry over to future years.
