24 & Under Rating Buybacks
Teams can start sending these in to fnhlwalsh@gmail.com now.  Refresher below:
- Players that were 24 and under last season (so, appearing 25 on the site today), have protection on PA/PC/SC. 
- These ratings can only go -1, or -2 if the rating started at 78 or higher.
- Teams can buy back up to 2 total points per eligible player
- Cost is $1,000,000 per point for teams that made the playoffs
- Cost is $500,000 per point for teams that missed the playoffs, and the first 6 points are free. 
- Goaltenders handled separately. If you had a goalie 24 or younger go down in ratings, you can have their ratings reset to last season (EX/LD gain remains). You will be quoted a price if you ask for it.

You can click players through your roster page to see their ratings last season, or go HERE
