 REMINDER: You must reduce your roster 
 to 50 players or less (combined rated 
 and unrated players) by the trading 
 deadline. Your roster may never exceed 
 60 total players during the trading 
 season. You must release enough 
 players prior to making a trade that 
 would cause your team to exceed the 
 limit. If your roster exceeds these 
 limits then enough unrated players 
 will automatically be released, 
 alphabetically, to reduce your roster 
 to the 50 or 60 player limit.
